In the article the author breaks down 11 points where the President is squeezing China. Summary of those points:

QuoteAdd all of this up and you can see the cumulative impact of President Trump's geopolitical economic strategy toward China. The best part of all of it –as we previously stated– is the likelihood China never saw it, meaning the sum totality of "all of it", coming.... at first.

Now they do, and, as Mr. Pillsbury notes from his travel and engagement, China is not quite sure how to respond.

Only President Trump could use economic leverage with such incredible insight and strategy toward achieving dual results benefiting the U.S. economy and U.S. national security position.  It really is stunning when you stand back and look at how it has all played out.... in the open.... and yet seemingly no-one saw what he was doing.

Just brilliant.

It's as if the author has been recording our phone conversations since the beginning.
Remember when we talked about China and NK and how Trump was able to cull NK out  and let it free of China?

What's funny is if we were on these shows we'd run circles around the dummies trying to argue against all this.

You were Right, we should have recorded our conversations, we were way ahead of the curve.

Good article. It's about time we had a president stand up to China, instead of sucking up to them.  Clinton shouldn't have been impeached for his sexual indiscretions, but should have been for his betrayal for allowing China to steal our technology and become an economic powerhouse. Actually I think their communist economy is fraudulent. There's a huge black banking sector going on. It will cause their downfall. Trump is helping that. Go Trump go.

Trump routed China and Ji never saw it coming.

He was impeached for lying like a POS under oath, and lying bald-faced to 300 million Americans, big as life on national TV.

More piss poor than Nixon and Watergate.  And Nixon was wrong, but Clinton was a far worse scumbag.

But, alas, democrats circle the wagons for their leaders, GOP does not.  GOP was against Reagan and is now against Trump.  Democrats wouldn't be against Jeffrey Dahmer if he could win them the White House.

Let's stick to the topic, Bill is yesterday's news.
China caved because Trump held all the cards, China made threats they couldn't support and folded.

True.  China is a paper tiger. They're economy is based on a fraud. The commies are likely exaggerating their economic growth. Few believe their numbers. There's more on the black banking market than they let on, and it's their Achilles heel.  I predict their system will come crashing down soon enough. Much worse than what happened in Japan.  Then we will see more repression by Jing as he desperately clings to power. I just hope Trump doesn't strike a deal with them. Let them twist in the wind.

You're right, they include the people's underground mkt as if they had anything to do with it. Yep, Trump has them by the balls and they know it, what he decides to do will most definitely be in our best interest.

China, like USSR / Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, all the USSR satellite countries, Venezuela, most of europe post-WW2, the whole ME besides Israel, everybody in Africa, most of SA / CA / Mexico ......... never created a single thing besides theft of ideas, counterfeiting, smuggling & trafficking, and misery.

They all still suck profusely.  If Trump actually puts the screws to their cheating and stealing, they will be reduced to begging.

wow, that guy to the right of Tucker has Lincoln sitting on his shoulder.  How bizarre.

Turkey is on the verge of collapse as we speak, if it hasn't already, China, as well as the rest of the world, is hurting which puts Trump in the driver's seat.

China's real GDP growth peaked in 2007 at 14.2%, and has been trending downward since. By 2017, it dropped to 6.8%. That much is clear and unmistakable. The problem is how to interpret the slowdown, especially in light of some recent economic indicators that have been widely used to project where the Chinese economy is heading. Here we quickly enter into the realm of myth making.

The first common myth is that the recent decline of the Chinese stock market, which has shed around 20% of its value since the beginning of the year, signals that the slowing economy is being affected by the trade war and therefore heading toward deeper troubles. Indeed, U.S.President Donald Trump gleefully tweeted on August 4 that the slide of Chinese equities indicates that he is winning the trade war against China.

China might be a civil war if they aren't careful.
