China has never engaged in fair trade. There has been lots of talk the last 15 years, but never any action. Chinese appear to be making concessions now.

Winning

We dropped the hammer on ZTE.

The Commerce Department said Monday that ZTE had lied to US officials about steps it had taken to punish employees who violated US sanctions against North Korea and Iran. The Chinese company last year agreed to pay a $1.2 billion fine after a US investigation found it had illegally shipped telecommunications equipment to the blacklisted countries.

Instead of punishing those involved, "ZTE paid full bonuses to employees that had engaged in illegal conduct, and failed to issue letters of reprimand," the Commerce Department said.

The seven-year ban affecting ZTE, which will take a toll on the company's US suppliers such as Qualcomm (QCOM), comes at a time of severe tensions between China and the United States over trade and technology.

Thumbs up to GREAT DEALS in the Pacific (China, Japan, NK, and more!). Great work and week, Mr. President. Enjoy your quick round!

So taking a hard line stance produced better results than bending over and grabbing your ankles?

Huh!

Not even close!

This is what I voted for.

I'm glad to see it.

I can't understand people who see this kind of positive news for us and think negatively of it.

I don't know how many people know this but when China enacted a ban on pork to their country Trump and Argentina struck up a deal on pork. Poor Porky Pig thought he had a chance. Tsk.

This President as much as he is hated really loves our country unlike his predecessor who hated it and probably still does.

Nice. Probably accomplished more during that round of golf than any formal sit down.
