Oh, and...

Trump's line: "....Trump even suggested that he would not rule out going to war with China in order to show the country that he’s serious about trade negotiations."

How about this...

Donald Trump Blames China for Fact That Much of His Gear is 'Made in China'

"Donald Trump, who has repeatedly accused China of stealing manufacturing jobs from the U.S., acknowledged today that an array of Trump-branded clothes, accessories and other products are made in China.

The real estate and casino mogul, who is considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination, blamed China for the fact that Trump ties, Trump cufflinks and even Trump teddy bears come with a "Made in China" label."

"But visitors to the Trump Store in the lobby of the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City, or to the displays of Trump clothing at Macy's in New York's Herald Square, would be hard-pressed to find much labeled "Made in the U.S.A."

At the same time Trump was speaking in New Hampshire, his Trump Store was contributing to the growth of Chinese manufacturing, arguably at the expense of American workers, selling $80 Trump-branded cotton sweaters and $70 Trump-branded warm-up tops, all made in China. Also available with the made in China tag: golf hats stamped with the Trump crest and stuffed animals."

"...Trump wear sold in Macy's, part of the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, is manufactured overseas, including ties in more than 50 different styles and colors (all made in China), suits (made in Mexico and Vietnam), and dress shirts (five styles made in China).

All the Trump tie pins ($22) and tie clips ($28) are labeled as "Made in China," as are the cufflinks ($35 to $45 a pair) and even the boxes containing them.

Although many Chinese-made products are sold under the Trump name, Trump repeatedly has complained about the quality of Chinese-made goods as compared to American products. "Our companies make a better product, that's very important to know. We make a better product," he told a major gathering of conservative activists..."

Trump....hypocrite, conman and spiv

Dear Poirot,

Can you please stop using words like 'China' and 'Chinese' all the time? You are upsetting Suseonline and Aidan who regard such language as belonging to racist and paranoid ratbags. You should be ashamed of yourself. Maybe you could use 'Mars' instead of 'China' and 'Martians' instead of 'Chinese'. That way we will all understand who you are referring to without upsetting the pro-China camp. And if you want to keep them on your side just throw in a couple of 'I love Mao' into your sentences.

P,

"Trump refuses to rule out war with China" Sometimes you are childishly naive. No US president has ruled out war with any country without a non aggression treaty or an alliance, and to do so would be incredibly stupid.

When Obama effectively told the Chinese to shove their territorial claims by sending a warship within 12Nm of one of the recovered islands, a carrier group was just over the horizon. If he'd ruled out war with China, they could sunk the ship with no risk of retaliation.

Don't confuse the refusal to rule out something with the desire to do it.

Dear Shadow Minister,

If you want to keep up with events in the South China Sea I suggest you look at the ongoing events as seen through the articles I have been posting on my thread 'Which side are you on.'

I could refute so many things you are all discussing but it would take to long to do so, - I got in late on this topic.
So instead, I say let all you mindless jellyfish be mindless jellyfish..

A.c.

That's typical of how a mindless jellyfish thinks at this time of the night.
