After China restricted other companies from entering their own market then the only fair thing to do is to restrict Chinas' access to other markets. I'm not a trump supporter but he did the right thing on this front.

It's a totally fair game. > I'm not a trump supporter but he did the right thing on this front. It's a shame you have to admit that. I'm a liberal and think we should be putting a hard squeeze on unilateral trade. This policy makes sense for the US and other countries regardless of your party. You can see that the US is starting to ramp up hard core. With international navies now sailing into the South China sea and a deafening rise of anti-CCP news and (admittedly) some propaganda, player two has finally entered the game. I live near an air force base and over the last few weeks have seen (and definitely heard!) an almost daily fighter jet exercise. This hasn't happened in years. China is going to be in a very tough spot soon.

  >It's a shame you have to admit that. I'm a liberal and think we should be putting a hard squeeze on unilateral trade. This policy makes sense for the US and other countries regardless of your party. People like to join teams. So if I have an opinion that's not part of the "team" or part of the "other" team then people like to attack those opinions. That's why I make sure I say something along the lines of "Hey, I'm not on the other team, but I have a different opinion."

    This "join teams" thing is a constant frustration. If there is a problem, the best solution likely frustrates either team, at least a little. And so time is wasted in bullshittery rather than getting on with the job.

I live in the UK and a few weeks ago there were military maneouvers near my house. I've been here 18 years and this is the first time they've happened. Happened across the country too.
