Yes because these two nations are so good at all the necessary elements in this equation like transportation, clean water, and quality control. LOL

It's like y'all think nothing happens in the world if the US isn't involved...

China investment in Brazil hit seven-year high in 2017

The energy, logistics and agriculture sectors drew the most Chinese capital

Seriously?

Maybe they don't want to put all their eggs in one basket.

Trump isn't the only negotiator in the world
, the Chinese have been haggling in markets for 5,000 years. Having other sources of commodities gives them leverage in negotiating with the US. They can walk away from the deal - always important in negotiating.


What does that have to do with what I asked? The article is saying that this is an opportunity for them to do what they were already wanting to do. So why weren't they already doing it?

You aren't celebrating, you're doing a "victory lap".

We aren't spying, we're paying an informant.

We weren't colluding with the Russians, we were simply financially incenting them to provide OpResearch via the Dossier.

Call it what you'd like. Nonetheless, it is what it is.

In terms of your "victory lap", what it is is Counting Your Chickens Before They've Hatched.

FT, you know what is great about your liberal tears. It’s that you emotionally jump the gun and immediately get proven wrong within 24 hours. You’re a fool.

You and you ilk would love to see any sort of settlement fail and possibly hundreds of thousands of people die on the Korean Peninsula rather than see our president bring about peace and a stable, nuclear free zone.
