    Just super selectively.......

      Not at all. You're accusing me of protecting Rs, but I'm not at all.

        As he raises questions about his opponent’s standing with China, President Trump’s taxes reveal details about his own activities there, including a previously unknown bank account.

            • When someone say China does X, and your response is that a lot of people do X then what do you expect?

              • I don't expect somebody to respond by just making stuff up.
                You continue to act like a mind reader by CLAIMING what other people think with no evidence except your opinion, yet you try to present it as fact.
                You are welcome to call out some "action" as being BIG PROOF of some massive conspiracy or to try to paint somebody or some group in a negative way... but don't be surprised if you get called on it, or that other people don't see it as you do.

                  I've gotten to the point where if I find China has done something, I start immediately considering what dastardly nefarious motives are behind it. Such as building sunny vacation islands in the South China Sea...and have them end up bristling with armaments. So China does X? I'm on to you X! Its such an unlikely letter, seldom used, people I think rightly abhor X. X...is a commie plot and must be expunged from the alphabet! Thing is, they have earned that froward consideration of their motives, every bit of it. So, I worry about Taiwan and their butt boy, Biden. It does not surprise me in the least t5hat China is behind him! Directly behind! All the way!

                    • I thought they were big buddies, much to the consternation of India? Guess one doesn't want to be China's friend, either. I mean look how they treat poor Russia!

                            WARMINGTON: Communist Chinese troops observed military exercises on Canadian soil

                            The Department of National Defence has confirmed China’s People’s Liberation Army was indeed on Canadian soil in February of 2018 for the Canadian Armed Forces winter training exercises.

                            But DND insists they were there merely as observers.

                            “We do not train with the PLA,” a DND spokesperson told the Toronto Sun. “However, based on an agreement signed in 2013, there has been the occasional, reciprocal granting of observer-status for non-sensitive activities, including winter survival exercises.”

                            The Canada-China Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investments Agreement came into practice in 2014 when Stephen Harper was still prime minister...."
