Expert Warns Trump on China Trade Deals: 'Cannot Be Trusted'

Trust and Trade with China

• ⚠️ China cannot be trusted to keep its word in any deal, based on decades of evidence.
• 🧩 Making a deal with China is likened to 'wack-a-mole,' where agreements are never final and are constantly circumvented.
• 🤝 European allies (Italians, Brits, Germans, French) are also reportedly frustrated with being repeatedly taken advantage of by the Chinese Communist Party.

TikTok Data and Propaganda Concerns

• 📱 The TikTok agreement is highlighted as an example, with concerns that China continues to vacuum up American data.
• 🔍 There's a suspicion of backdoor access to user data, feeding Chinese intelligence services.
• 📢 A significant concern is the potential for TikTok to be used for propaganda, promoting a China-centered worldview and influencing American foreign policy views.
• 🗣️ Ideally, any deal would ensure TikTok becomes a medium for free expression for Americans without CCP interference.

China's Economic Pressure and Desperation

• 📉 China is under tremendous pressure as tariffs squeeze its export sector, its only sector operating by market principles.
• 🏭 Factories are closing, and unemployment lines are lengthening within China.
• 📊 Government statistics indicate about a third of medium and large businesses in China are currently running at a loss.
• 📈 This economic pressure makes Xi Jinping desperate to make a deal, which the US should leverage for America's benefit.

The CCP's 'Magic Weapons'

• 🚩 According to Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping, the Chinese Communist Party's three magic weapons are propaganda, united front tactics, and the People's Liberation Army, with propaganda being paramount.
