What if the issue with the #tradeWar was a disagreement about culture and not economics?
Seems like at the moment, democracy is working on two channels, to undermine the party.
The first in the democracy #overthere, voting out Beijing in favor of Democracy.
Hongkongers voting for Democracy, November 2019
And then in the democracy #overHere, with it’s pesky Constitution, messing up Trump’s veto.
You think anyone’s clued Xi in to Article 1, Section 7 yet?
Imagine being the poor aide tasked with that doing that briefing…
Now maaaaayybe Congress decides to over-ride the veto. Maybe it doesn’t. Point being, it’s at least plausible that the bill is now out of Trump’s (tiny) hands. Plausible deniability. Now it’s in the arms of that most dangerous agent of chaos, a Legislature.
It’s like the scaled up version of the UK’s House of Commons, negotiating against the monolithic EU. Will they, won’t they? A geopolitical manifestation of Ross and Rachel on Friends. if you will. Then again that lasted ten seasons…
Anyway.
Our is not to reason why, ours is but to see that gap, and go buy gamma accordingly.
