The news flow today about the state of US-China trade talks still gives little reason to think a deal is coming any time soon, though there is always a chance for a surprise in either direction.
I don't read Chinese so I'm not clued in on the latest in Beijing social media, but my previously apolitical wife has become a raging Mao supporting Red Commie Nationalist blaming the US for HK's unrest and pretty much every other ill in the world. If that's the effect of local social media, then I predict there won't be a trade agreement anytime soon, if at all during the Trump period.
