Misnaming a virus for racist reasons is an achievement? How about focusing more on testing and not allowing hundreds of thousands of Americans to die instead. Or maybe just wearing a freakin mask and not making that a political issue and leading to tens of thousands of unnecessary American deaths.
The trade war has led to very few, if any, companies move to China. The only major change is that China buys a lot less agricultural products from the US requiring the administration to straight up pay tens of billions to Midwest farmers so Trump wouldn’t lose their vote entirely.
Not sure what talking to the Taiwanese President has to do with anything when Taiwan is more afraid of China right now than it has ever been because he won’t publicly agree to protect it.
Yeah, the largest arms sale is still minuscule and is gonna do nothing to stop China from taking over Taiwan militarily if they wanted.
And China has taken over Hong Kong almost entirely and there hasn’t been a peep from the US govt. Instead, the Trump administrations response was to punish Hong Kong and start treating it as if it is already a part of China and the 2 systems 1 nation rule doesn’t apply anymore.
Nice. He had 1 person arrested by the Canadians. That’s brilliant.
China Mobile would have been blocked by any administration. Because the US government used to be run by competents, who didn’t crow about every minuscule move they made, because they were focusing on massive changes that would actually have teeth (such as the TPP) you are likely not even aware of the fact that Obama’s administration blocked a bunch of Chinese private actions. And they were actually successful and did not require breaking international law therefore making US allies also suspicious of the US.

- president 6y agoYour opinions aside, the current administration has been the first in decades to stand up to China both in philosophy and in policy. You can't say the same about Clinton, Bush, Obama et al who actually empowered the Chinese by letting them off easy on the Tiananmen Square Massacre, allowing them to join the WTO, and militarize the South China Seas, among other things.
