Trump said in an interview with the media today (Beijing Time, October 21): "I will not allow China to punish American farmers. If China does not buy soybeans, it is punishing our farmers. I hope China buys soybeans; if China does not do business with the United States, it will have big trouble. I like the relationship with China. I have been invited to China and will visit China at the beginning of next year."
[Witty] Comment: I have only seen such words in Qiongyao's TV dramas, where love and hate are entangled, and they die for each other. Trump's remarks are a perfect replica of the sentimental and unreasonable lines from a Qiongyao drama! Saying that China not buying soybeans is "punishing American farmers," and threatening that if China does not do business with the United States, it will have big trouble, this logic is so absurd that it makes people laugh and cry. On one hand, he wields the trade stick, and on the other hand, he pouts, saying "I like the relationship with China," and arranges his own visit to China next year, as if China has to follow his script. This kind of love-hate entanglement and dramatic performance seems so naive in real politics. International relations are not a romance drama; solving problems by任性 and coquetry won't work. Trump should wake up and stop being immersed in his own "Qiongyao world."
