Escalation with China

We're somewhere between cold and hot war with China.
President Trump just upped the ante.

Section 4 puts some teeth in this.

Thought I would latch onto this thread and give it a bump.

Ongoing back-and-forth between the administration and "polls" of corporations operating from the Chinese mainland.

Headlines read "U.S. Revokes Visas of 1,000 Chinese Students Considered High Risk"

China, of course, responds in true American fashion claiming a "racist" America is taking it out on these poor young children...

Uhmmmm .. Don't make me pull up the Daniel Tosh bit about the composition of the Chinese gymnastics team...

As an interesting nugget of information that is usually well down into the story...that there are somewhere between 360 and 370 THOUSAND Chinese students and researchers operating in the United States.

I'm thinking 1,000 is the equivalent of an acceptable accounting error...

And if China is so great why are they all here?

Oh, wait a minute....

Thanks Gang.

And we used to get along so well with the Chinese, as long as everything was going their way.

Not to change the subject but what about the recent aggressive actions by the soviets in the air and on the ground towards our military? Have these incidents escalated or are they on par with what has been going on between us and them for years.

The stuff in the air has pretty much been going on for decades. Our surveillance, their surveillance, our interceptors, their interceptors, our outrage, their outrage...

Heyyyyyyyyyy.

What if someone did a really snarky, satirical magazine, with really great hand-drawn art, and a goofy-lookin' f'er on the cover every month, and they had a regular section called...
Oh, wait. Never mind.

Which is more palatable... the "standard" cold-war antics or economic and industrial sabotage?
