War With China?, page-58

"Trump is forcing Xi to the negotiation table.". ..... only a loser is "forced" to the negotiating table, eg. the German Reich.

wouldn't it have been more intelligent to write to Xi inviting him to the negotiating table with a clear agenda to be discussed?

forcing people is aggravating, primitive, bullying tactics. its plain childish and stupid. all you get with "forcing" is disagreement and anger.
