"After the White House sent out its list, Cisco said its chief executive, Chuck Robbins, was unable to attend ... .Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, wasn't invited and won't be going to China this week, according to a person familiar with Mr. Huang's plans. His absence comes as Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, awaits approval from both China and the United States to begin shipping an early model of the company's A.I. chips, the H200, to China."

What, no Jared?

Is Vanky still chumming Chinese waters?

The Chinese government granted a total of 41 trademarks to companies linked to Ivanka Trump by April of 2019 - and the trademarks she applied for after her father became president got approved about 40% faster than those she requested before Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 election ... .

Like China needs any of these people.

They're just waiting for the collapse so they can buy up the pieces for pennies on the dollar and solidify their position as the world's preeminent power.

NO deals were confirmed at all, no matter that Trump is currently lying about that... US Taiwan policy was for the first time connected to any ever deals being confirmed, and Musk's kid, 'Lil X', stole the show in China with their people.

On the flight back, DJT threatened a journalist who dared ask about Iran with charges of Treason.

So, typical Trump weekend.

Pres Trump looked like a supplicant to Pres Xi during the visit.

How many times did Pres Trump call Pres Xi a "Great Leader?"

How many times did Pres Xi say something similar of Pres Trump?

Pres Trump, during the visit, seemed to be looking for the quick positive headlines for himself. While Pres Xi seemed to be looking more toward the long-term benefit of China.

Stated differently...

Pres Trump seemed to be going for the short-term headlines.

Pres Xi seemed to be going for the long-term role of China in the world.
