The meeting between President Trump and Chinese dictator Xi Jinping in South Korea is now in the past. Still in the future, and very much in doubt, is what will come of it.
The President has characterized the meeting as “a 12” on a one-to-ten scale. He announced numerous initiatives designed to help: American manufacturers dependent on Chinese exports of rare earth minerals; U.S. farmers’ agricultural sales, and the vast numbers of predominantly young people in this country not yet killed by Chinese chemical warfare in the form of fentanyl.
If past experience is any guide, however, the Chinese Communist Party will not live up to its commitments and will persist in its decades-long “unrestricted warfare” against us.
President Trump and every American should take aboard yesterday’s PresentDangerChina.org webinar on why we must not ignore that reality – and respond appropriately.
