We will see  if it happens.

China didn't just blink, they puked out of fear of Trump. That really is it in a nutshell.

Bet China is wishing they had done more to help put the old hag in the White House.

Agree CHINA thought he was a standard professional LIAR politician of the US. TRUMP also said CHINA is the resolution to North Korea. Think the steel and ALM tariffs have anything to do with the little fat guy wanting to sit down with TRUMP? He was right. Pressure CHINA and NK will come around . Will be interesting to see the what happens??

Yep, China just realized what kind of tactician Trump is, and just how much power and influence the US holds in the world and how we can make or break markets, or break entire countries if necessary.
I've said since day one, NK is a pawn for China, that nothing will happen till China sees a real threat to their global initiative "Silk Road" project.
Trump aligned nations like India and S/A, Trump put Putin on notice, Iran is in his crosshairs, and M/E peace finally has a chance.

I've been watching China advance their "Silk Road" project, and if allowed success, it would be akin to a Berlin Wall across India, with Pakistan becoming stronger and an ally of Russia and China, sprouting new tensions in the world.
Trump cut China off at the knees when he blockaded NK, not that it was all that damaging, but it sent a message we're not fuckin around, and your South China sea Island is next.
Trump is playing a masterful hand in bringing unspoken allies in closer than ever before, and putting our enemies on notice, the US means business, and not business as usual, those days are dead.

Oh, and RINO are shittin rocks too.

Do a search for China Silk Road and India tensions and you'll see why India just became attached to our hip.
Wait, that message may not yet be in the news, but it's coming very soon, when Trump wants to make it a big deal and kick China in the nuts with a chop to the throat.
All the while the petulant Putin does his best to be noticed in a room full of actual world powers. "Notice Me, notice me, I have nuclear weap....
Hey, are you listening to me?"

Very well said, SOLAR.

Thanks.
Sorry for the rant, but I had just heard ABC claim Trump was being played by NK, of course, that is pure Bullshit, because Kim doesn't even breathe without China's permission.
Keep an ear to the news for India to make an announcement very soon.

Hmm.................over the past 24 hours Trump has:
* Imposed Tariff's that have triggered a re-negotiation process for NAFTA.
* Agreed to discuss the de-nuclearization of NK w/Rocket Man.
* Presided over the largest monthly growth in jobs in a decade.
Trump has many attitudes and behaviors that are, to put it mildly, unconventional.
Certainly the Greeks of Antiquity knew, while we are not perfectible in this life;
yet some have been blessed by the Gods to astonish our fellow Men.
We shall see!

The US is like Lennie from Mice & Men, and China is like Curley.  China is convinced of their strength by 40 years of America always LETTING them bullshit and bloviate and never responding.

Trump just walked in and did the equivalent of grabbing China's / Curley's hand and crushing it.  After they got all the free punches that made them feel big.

USSR-Russia is basically Curley also.  Trump just hasn't found the venue or motivation to grab ahold of them yet.

Yep, has Russia by the nuts.
Trade is what scares the shit out of China, that's why they told Kim to contact POTUS, "You're giving up your nukes and you better get us the best deal you can or you die".
