Even the flicker of a notion that the leadership was jumping at the behest of a foreign power is politically toxic in China.
President Donald Trump thought he had a historic deal—one that he would happily take to his political base next year, as the 2020 election approached. After months of trade negotiations with the Chinese government, a deal, he told reporters at the White House,"was 95 percent” done.According to Trump’s negotiators, Beijing began walking back commitments it had already made. In particular, U.S.
In fact, there is widespread skepticism in China that the story put forth by the U.S. side in the wake of the failed talks is true. Why? Because it’s almost inconceivable that any Chinese official at any level would agree to a text that says China agrees to rewrite some of its laws at the behest of a foreign nation.
On Saturday, the People’s Daily in an editorial wrote:"The text of any trade agreement must be balanced and expressed in a way that is acceptable to the Chinese people and does not undermine the country’s sovereignty and dignity.” Xi, in other words, still needs a deal. But whatever its final terms, it can t include language that has China rewriting its laws because the U.S. demands it. That s why, for now and likely the next several weeks, China’s state-owned media will be playing the patriotism card hard.
