To make it seem like stuff is happening when it isn't.
It's similar to the 30% tariffs presented as a win. China's imposing 10%, but won't export critical minerals or buy Boeing.

Exclusive: China issues rare earth licenses to suppliers of top 3 US automakers, sources say
At least some of the licenses are valid for six months, the two sources said.
BEIJING/WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - China has granted temporary export licenses to rare-earth suppliers of the top three U.S. automakers, two sources familiar with the matter said, as supply chain disruptions begin to surface from Beijing's export curbs on those materials.
At least some of the licenses are valid for six months, the two sources said, declining to be named because the information is not public. It was not immediately clear what quantity or items are covered by the approval or whether the move signals China is preparing to ease the rare-earths licensing process, which industry groups say is cumbersome and has created a supply bottleneck.
Suppliers of three big U.S. automakers, General Motors, Ford, and Jeep-maker Stellantis got clearance for some rare earth export licenses on Monday, one of the two sources said.
The approval for the auto suppliers follows a green light granted to a U.S. electronics firm's suppliers last week and another one issued earlier this week to suppliers of a U.S. non-auto company, the first person said, declining to name the companies.
Boeing prepares to resume plane deliveries to China as tariff war eases
A new Boeing 737 MAX painted with Xiamen Airlines livery left Seattle on Friday on the first leg of the route used to shuttle jets to the company's delivery center in China, according to flight records on FlightRadar24.
SEATTLE, June 6 (Reuters) - A new Boeing 737 MAX painted with Xiamen Airlines livery left Seattle on Friday on the first leg of the route used to shuttle jets to the company's delivery center in China, according to flight records on FlightRadar24.
The plane was bound for Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, one of the refueling stops Boeing jets make on their way across the Pacific to China. Deliveries to Chinese customers were abruptly halted in early April as the U.S. and China edged toward a trade war.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg on May 29 said Chinese airlines would resume taking deliveries of Boeing aircraft in June.

Didn’t he literally write a book called The Art of the Deal? Er, uh, well someone wrote it.

Apparently it was aspirational.
If he is doing one thing right, he is sending the treasury secretary (who used to be a Democrat and was George Soros' personal banker,) the commerce secretary (former CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald) and trade representative (previous experience negotiating trade agreements) to London to negotiate directly with China. He is leaving it to people that are better at it

He’s not doing a single thing right with respect to the TikTok ban.
Wait, I thought he’s supposed to be the greatest deal maker ever, he’s single handedly creating world peace, fixing Ukraine, the Middle East, and everywhere else, after all, right? The best candidate that there ever was for a nobel? A very stable genius? How hard is this little deal to such a magnificent towering savant of commerce and diplomacy?
Or anything else

Those suppliers to U.S. automakers are Chinese firms themselves. No critical minerals are going to the U.S. military or semicon industries.
Boeing for Chinese students seems fair.

Considering he loves uneducated people, I’m not surprised why he got elected. It is a failure of American education system and failure of leadership.

Probably not. If they had their fingers in it, they’d already have all the info they possibly need. They wouldn’t even need it for propaganda or misinformation campaigns anymore.

This I disagree with. I see no reason why it wouldn’t and doesn’t remain useful for continued propaganda and disinformation purposes. Has something changed that would make that untrue? 🤷♂️
The problem with democracy is that exactly half the voters have less than the median IQ.
But as Churchill said, Democracy is a bad form of government, but the others are even worse.
China told the Usa they have plenty of data from google -facebook-tik-tok-youtube-instagram-x and many other software company information. They are not scared. Facebook now has 2FA issues that bots are locked into and users and company data is scraped. China has enough of the where and the whys and how it all works.
So if trump caved in but tariffs where high they would still complain. Cant have it both ways.
Money has to flow both ways.

There are some legimate concerns and counter points too, but what is certain is anyone just using an emoji as a response, really has nothing to say.

/s my whole point is that they Claim it needs to be shut down due to valid National Security Concerns, but then keep delaying actually shutting it down or forcing Byte Dance to sell it.

It has already been banned, though. The Trump regime refuses to enforce the ban, which is an unconstitutional act and therefore an impeachable one.
