KW: These are critical days and markets everywhere are simply ignoring the risks with their euphoric rise and rise. For the Chinese I suppose there is only so much s… you can take before you decide enough is enough and all Trump has done is drive China and Russia (historic border foes) and other BRIC countries together, not a particularly clever idea as it is only going to force faster changes within the global economy. Make no mistake this is a war, just no shooting so far. Trump is trying to destroy the economy of several countries all over the world and that affects the ability of those countries citizens to live as they are entitled. Is there any difference if you force mass starvation as in Venuzuela or just shoot to kill people. Trump has declared war on the rest of the world and yet shows he is a hypocrit by allowing Apple products to be exempt from the sanctions (Apple has extensive manufacturing interests in China) .

“Everything the U.S. does hasn’t given any impression of sincerity and goodwill…We hope that the U.S. side will take measures to correct its mistakes.”
