you have see date for a potential meeting with xi jinping pushed from the end of march to april. nothing is on the calendar, in part because they don't want to be pinned down to something because the chinese are assumed that if a meeting happens, that means there is actually a deal. didn't want to come in and have what happened to kim jong-un in last month in hanoi. he speaks about the $500 billion china takes from this country, is how he was praising it. i think he was referring to the billion purchase of goods from the u.s. in china. people refer to china as the world's walmart for a reason. china has cheap labor. it has made things cheaper. americans like cheap steel. but there are a lot of things workers in places like ohio don't like about some of these levels of competition and things. so i think you are going to hear about china on the campaign trail in 2020 in ways people have an quite figured out how they want to articulate policy changes yet, but most likely they will have some trade agreement with china to either complain about or praise in a few months time, because t

under xi jinping, he has taken the country, we are in a different era. besn't mean there can't growth or change, but xi jinping has taken china down a different path from the direction it was going before. he's made no secrets of the communist party, and the importance of the state controlling key sectors of the economy. you can have a better law on paper but how that plays out is hard to see. foreigners and locals being equals? local chinese companies aren't equals of chinese state-owned companies. phere,n the domestic s it is an uneven playing field. it is hard to see how it will happen. yvonne: i want to quote an "the southce from china morning post" talking more about how he thinks this investment law is credible. xi jinping during davos a few years ago mentioned being a diff -- defending globalization. there is a credibility he says beijing needs to uphold about being a champion of globalization. in that respect, will that allow xi jinping to see this opening up through and could it be an olive branch in trade negotiations? think it isn't surprising
