BEIJING (AP) — China on Friday became one of the last major countries to congratulate U.S. President-elect Joe Biden, who is expected to make few changes to U.S. policy in conflicts with Beijing over trade, technology and security.
Aw, rats! Get your Chinese restaurant placemats out kids. 2020 has been The Year Of The Rat. Kind of explains it all, don’t it?
Good thing is that next year when Biden takes office in 2021 it’ll be The Year Of The Ox. Maybe that means there are signs he’ll be a workhorse and not the ‘reality host’ show-horse we’ve all become accustomed to.
Heyyy America…when it comes to “human rights records” it would be best if you STFU. Trafficking 666 babies from their mothers into little pink houses across America and gassing your people in the streets is a bit of a disqualifier in that arena. If you don’t like having a trade deficit with China stop buying “Made in China” crap. It’s junk so leave it on the shelf. American soy bean and corn farmers seem to be content taking Trump welfare bucks ( they voted for him ) after he screwed over their China markets. So what’s the bitching about?
Political analysts expect Biden to try to resume cooperation with Beijing on climate change, North Korea, Iran and the coronavirus. And they say Biden might pursue a more traditional, predictable policy toward China.
Since we haven’t heard from Mitch yet, is it possible he’s ‘tied up’ in negotiations with Putin, somewhere in an undisclosed dacha, built just for two… authoritarians?
Hah. Oh, how wonderful it is to still be young at heart. My parents would have us play with those darn placemats in restaurants to keep us busy and hushed, but for my money Howard Johnson’s made the best ones for kids…and had the best crayons ta boot.
