China Open to US Trade Talks If Trump Shows Respect

China wants to see a number of steps from President Donald Trump’s administration before it will agree to trade talks, including showing more respect by reining in disparaging remarks by members of his cabinet, according to a person familiar with the Chinese government’s thinking.

Other conditions include a more consistent US position and a willingness to address China’s concerns around American sanctions and Taiwan, said the person, who asked not to be identified to discuss internal thinking.

Beijing also wants the US to appoint a point person for talks who has the president’s support and can help prepare a deal that Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping can sign when they meet, the person said.

Calling the peasants, the country from which u are basically borrowing money from, is next level :D

After Trump's comments "all these countries called me to KISS MY ASS", will any leader call him now?

[petermugambi]

Calling them peasants or calling Africa "shitholes" is arrogance of the worst order. And nothing good comes from arrogance and conceit.
America is in the wrong track.

The only criteria China should settle for is Trump's resignation

No one wants to deal with America anymore.

[Oskarisadog]

[spokes]

Taiwan should not be part of trade talks.

China was able to develop itself because the U.S. was already doing business with them and giving them some work If it weren’t for the U.S. China would never have gotten out of their poverty So NO giving in to China

[martingreenwell]

Time for talk has passed. It's time to address the American people's concerns.
