Just shows you how desperate they are.

Nonsense. They saw you as an asset to the company.

I did hear that China wanted Trump gone.
  Have you heard anything regarding that? The two countries seem at odds with one another.
 After Hitler...I don't think the Russians trust anyone...least of all their apparent ally.

Conservative megadonor Tim Dunn loans Texas Senate candidate Shelley Luther $1 million

https://www.texastribune.org/2020/09/18/texas-senate-shelley-luther-tim-dunn/

She's the Dallas hair salon owner who broke state law in reopening her salon in violation of Gov. Greg Abbott's pandemic shutdown back in April. She served all of 2 days in county jail, had her bail paid by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, provided high-profile haircuts to Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz, and quickly raised $500k in a GoFundMe campaign that she can spend however she likes.

For many convoluted reasons,I'll be voting on October 31. A Saturday. An ending,and a beginning for me personally. The part of my identity that meant so much to me, my Texas self, has to finally be discarded. And I'll never see Texas again. I never thought I'd be buried anywhere but Texas.
   I was wrong.
 You may,if you wish,denigrate Texas and Texans,if it pleases you.
   Human nature being what it is.
     I had the right to be buried in the VA cemetery,with my mother,father and my sister.
  Circumstances dictated otherwise.
Funny,how life can always throw you an unhittable curve ball.

Dan Patrick is a lunatic. He used to be a sportscaster when Earl Campbell was an Oiler.
  He regularly made an idiot out of himself then .
  He still does.

With Trump China has had pretty smooth sailing beginning with the US abandonment of the TPP and of course the trade deals which backfired bigly creating enormous problems for many US industries Agriculture to name just one.

Can't imagine why China would want to risk change.

If you go through your life,never considering the views of others,you may well not be a full person.
   That doesn't mean one must entertain the extreme views of others.
   But certainly,consigning every view not congruent to one's own, as idiocy,lessens one's humanity.

Of course,China would feel more comfortable with a President whom they could feel confident in controlling. To an extent,in any event.
   They seem unhappy with Trump.
