During the campaign Trump came down hard on China. He said they were raping our country in what he termed "the greatest theft in the history of the world."
He accused them of taking our jobs, stealing our technology, manipulating the currency and allowing their factories to become the biggest environmental polluters in the world. He blamed China for failing to keep North Korea under control.
But last week, when he was in Beijing, Donald Trump showed the world just how easily he is manipulated.
The meek and humble Donald Trump who showed up in Beijing was not the angry, loudmouthed Donald Trump who vowed during his presidential campaign to stand up to China on issues such as trade and North Korea. Nope, he cowered under an actual strong leader, which is exactly what all bullies do when confronted.
Instead of standing up to China, Trump went over there and blamed Americans while expressing his admiration of China for taking advantage of us so thoroughly. And he glowed in the applause his words garnered from the Chinese audience.
Chinese President Xi Jinping played Trump like a fool. He must have been laughing his ass off inside.

He didn't get Chinese trademark approvals while campaigning, he did as POTUS. Funny how his opinion of China changed so radically. As is commonly the case, following the $$$ leads somewhere.

More like Trump totally played China (by getting them to agree to his demands without him giving them really anything) but of course you simpleminded Lefties don’t know a real pro in action even if you saw it.
Your Obama fool gave up billions to Iran, let ISIS proliferate, never got anything from China and made the U.S. the biggest laughingstock in the world but now Trump gets the U.S. back to respectability.

Which is more important....calling China a currency manipulator (which probably won't change anything anyway), or reducing the nuclear danger of North Korea?
Surely you understand....
Even the most unaware and uneducated person in the world would understand that its more important to reduce North Korea.
And most are aware that China plays a gigantic role in how powerful North Korea is.
