What A Surprise

President Trump told President Xi Jinping of China on Thursday evening that the United States would honor the “One China” policy, reversing his earlier expressions of doubt about the longtime diplomatic understanding and removing a major source of tension between the United States and China since shortly after he was elected.

The Chinese government has granted President Trump and his business something they had been seeking for more than a decade: trademark protection for the use of the Trump name in the construction industry.


In the world of diplomacy, governments do each other favours on a government to government basis. In this 21st century though, the American president also gets a nice little bonus to keep for his very own. Lucky old him.
