    I’d be more impressed if it hadn’t happened during an election campaign where the one initiating this action is sliding downhill in the polls.

    OK. I bet the whole GOP is loving that there’s something else to talk about.

    This is news? We knew this ever since Trump was entertaining Xi Jinping at Mar-A-Lago. Didn’t seem to bother anyone then.

    I would have thought the G.O.P. would have agreed the Russians were meddling in our election. Silly me, they needed an ‘asset’ just as much as the Russians . . .they got the same A$$ we all did.

    The envy/fear of China’s growing technological lead (especially in 5G) has become a political issue for the Republicans and the ☠resident (who misdirect it as a “security threat”). however, if the Chinese develop their own replacements for the telecommunications infrastructure, (currently being restricted) the US may never be able to catch up.

    Hmm. One probable spy is hiding out in a consulate in California, so Trump suddenly closes a consulate in Texas?

    If there is actually a point to that, I doubt that we’ll hear what it is. No difference from if there’s not a point.

    After three and one-half years of a presidential term where Trump coddled China, now he’s “tough” on China when his polls are sagging and he needs another scapegoat…

    Of course, we have spies all over China, but when we spy it is an honorable profession.
