Top China Expert Has Doubts Over Trade Deal As Tensions Are “Getting Worse”

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) is reporting that Jia Qingguo, a top foreign policy expert in China and professor of international studies at Peking University, said the “phase one” trade deal with the U.S. and China wouldn’t lead to “phase two” trade deal because “excessive” demands by Washington have left Chinese officials feeling “useless” to engage.

“Despite the recent announcement that we are going to have the first phase agreement, [the] relationship between China and the U.S. is still in deep trouble and is heading south rather than north. It is getting worse,” the SCMP cited Jia at the Regional Outlook Forum 2020 hosted by the ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore on Thursday.

“Brexit”

I’m building a hole under my house to hide in!

Good on the Brits! Now they won’t have that particular boot on their neck.

Maybe now they’ll be able to fix their own toaster or change the oil in their car themselves. 🙂

Wasn’t Brexit supposed to be the end of the world?

“He would do well to make it a campaign promise to pull all troops out of Iraq and Syria during his second term.”

Yeah that would be great … and let’s not forget Afghanistan as well. Hard to make a false flag attack when our guys aren’t there anymore.

LONDON (Reuters) – British lawmakers are expected later on Thursday to approve legislation which will allow the country to leave the European Union on Jan. 31 with an exit deal, ending more than three years of wrangling over the terms of the unprecedented divorce.

At around 1700 GMT, Prime Minister Boris Johnson will turn the page on one of Britain’s deepest political crises in decades when parliament’s lower house votes to approve legislation that will implement an exit deal agreed with the EU last year.

Yeah, it really does seem Trump is trying to keep his word despite a ton of pressure from the neocons.

Always wary of false flags from the CIA-Mossad-MI-6 crew.

He would do well to make it a campaign promise to pull all troops out of Iraq and Syria during his second term.

When I sat down GLD was down $1.20 now down $.50, SLV $.24 now down $.11

Moving in the right direction anyway, hope it continues.

I guess the shares will let us know.

At least we’re not now involved in some giant new war in the ME!

I’m ready for the gold downturn to end … today would be fine. 🙂

OK – so maybe they weren’t all misses. Here’s the thing, Iran warned Iraq of the strikes well in advance, Iraq then notified Norway who notified the US. The US had 4 hours notice of the location of the strikes.

I guess if you intend to inflict maximum damage, you don’t send advance warning, just ask Soleimani. 🙂

Iran was saving face, Trump wisely let them.

Sucks for pm’s short term though.

Something different – “Wheels”
