re: China's Central Bank orders all financial transactions with NoKo to cease

Absolutely, China found out about it at the same time as we did. There is no talking between world leaders, or compromising between nations. None. They find out, when we the people find out.

Probably, just like the conversation for them both to put the squeeze on NK was likely in their previous meetings.

Couldn't be that the EO sanctions Trump announced today was a reaction to China already cutting ties on Monday. Had to be the other way around, right?

That's what you seem to be missing here, common sense. You do know the government stays a few days ahead of you and me when it comes to knowing shite. You have no idea if some kind of phone call was made a week ago or not ironing out this "deal" or if everything is just coincidental.

I'll go with a pre UN meeting phone call.

According to the Poli Board Trump's speech was so good it reverberated back in time and effected events over the weekend.

I mean there are 2 pathways of direct causation, with basically one scenario to each, and a number of possible scenarios without direct causation (e.g., independent of each other, something else causing both, mutual agreement, etc.).

So of all the possible scenarios, it’s illogical to assume that event that followers another, caused the preceding event. It’s only possible under the unsupported assumption that earlier event was based on knowledge of the subsequent event.

But that assumption is more illogical since the later event is pointless absent the earlier event occurring at some point.

In other words, the only truly consequential country for all parties is China. And the EO is a hollow threat as it pertains to China since it would be catastrophic for the entire world to enforce it against them. So it is no longer a hollow threat following their earlier announcement, but it's no longer consequential.

Given the order of events and the nature of them, this would be a textbook example of confirmation bias since so many are believing the most illogical scenario with such confidence.

Which would also apply to the government who made the earlier decision, who would have actually made the decision some time before it implemented.

In any case, your argument could just as easily, if not moreso, mean that the government that made the subsequent decision, had the knowledge of the earlier decision to then implement the later decision.

In other words, giving Trump credit for the earlier decision is completely illogical, especially without a shred of evidence to support it.

Yep
