President Trump has world centre stage (though probably not on Chinese media) and is looking and sounding strong and resolute. China cannot allow itself to seem weak so it is unlikely they will meekly submit. President Trump has a very good hand and can use it to pull China back by the scruff of the neck. Cannot see China capitulating at all until after the election ...that they will absolutely try to manipulate. But as President Trump well knows China will meanwhile and always play age old games of strategy (remember that Sun Tzu (The Art of War) was Chinese!This promises to be a fascinating chapter in world history. I see the Chinese as the Masters (in manipulation and war strategy.) President Donald Trump is the Masters Apprentice. Besides his own training, Donald Trump has two aces up his sleeve. One is you. You who can vote and who have a full year to prepare for 2020. Being digital soldiers is not enough. He must be re-elected and be unimpeded for four years. The other ace is God. I recall the first public outing of the Trump's after the Inauguration.At an aircraft hangar in Florida. The 1st Lady opened proceedings with The Lord's Prayer. We must all pray for this President.
How many Christian Chinese will be praying for the totalitarian Godless Xi Jinping? Probably none.Many Chinese will pray for the American President's success -though.
I hope the Masters Apprentice wins. Indeed,my prayers are with him and for your nation. Please though; never get complacent. The enemy is strong. The free world may never get another chance like this. Afterall-if not Trump then who. All hands to the wheel.

hahaha the pun-dit at the end: really the chosen one. Let's see what comes of it as stalling for time is not on the table.

Yeah, it was Sunday. Asian stock market dropped ~15%, yuan fell too, and gold n silver soared. It recovered a lil by end of the trading session.
China has a ton of debt n can't afford a big crash.

That didn't take long. Chinese people are extremely WEAK.
