To misquote an old phrase Richard:
You can fool some of the Chinese some of the time. You can fool all of the Chinese some …well, you can guess the rest.
The Plastic PoTUS is playing a very dangerous game with the world’s oldest surviving civilisation. Those inscrutable buggas have long memories and inventive revenge methods. IMO, If he keeps poking China in the eye, he will learn a bitter lesson someday.
When and if he ever repeals his control of this Huawei mess, he will have dragged the UK into whatever the Chinese decide to do in retaliation. That will include us of course, thanks to our poodles in “Intelligence” Services, directed to follow the USA line as usual. Just as we followed the US line over Crimea and Ukraine: had we remained neutral, we would be trading with the Russian Federation. It is not necessary to actually like a nation, in order to trade with it. Playing the American poodle has earned us nothing but disrespect and hatred in much of the world. Let us see how many of the Trade promises by the PP, actually bear fruit when we are finally out of the EU. If they do not suit American business, they will not happen.
When the Thought Police arrive at your door, think -
I'm out.
