‘Long Way To Go, Short Time To Get There’: China Will Attempt The Impossible With Farm Purchases
Less than two days after America read excerpts from John Bolton's controversial memoir, which, among other things, alleges that Donald Trump specifically linked Chinese purchases of US farm goods to the 2020 election during a conversation with Xi Jinping, China is poised to ramp up buying of "everything from soybeans to corn and ethanol".
That's according to sources who spoke to Bloomberg.
Mike Pompeo's meeting with Politburo Member Yang Jiechi at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii this week was
This is more about the stock market, both sides. Appearances. Brazil and Indonesia burned down a lot of rain forest to grow food for China.

If it’s not due to climate change , it soon will be. And if China is so anxious to honor it’s buying commitments you have to wonder what the trade off is. What is trump willing to let China get away with?? Clamping down on Hong Kong and not saying anything?? How about Taipei?? Relaxing his view on Huawei??

Has anyone heard anything from the Trump organization about the new rules for Hong Kong??
