No surprise. China and N. Korea are up to no good. China probably gave assurance that they fully back up N. Korea if N. Korea sticks to its original plan to make a good show with no substance instead of cutting a real deal.

China will have to make a decision.
Trump is making it clear to them.

They seem to be confidant that U.S. would not wield a big stick even if NK reneges on earlier promise. They must believe that U.S. is now so wedded to the success of summit that it would not call off the summit fearing political fallout.

Who publishes the South China Morning Post? Does it have your trust?

If the US & South Korea enter into a peace treaty with North Korea & the US withdraws its troops from SK, I can see NK agreeing to denuclearize. But short of that, I don’t see them doing so. SK is willing to do a deal like this.

This is what North Korea is offering for your support, this is what the US is offering for your support.
Now China can pick who its going to support in the negotiations. Trump knows that China loves to break our balls, but the reality of a trade war with us and ballistic nukes in their nutjob neighbor's hands will push them the right way.
If it fails, we're back to square one where the situation's been sitting for the last decade.

Somewhere along the way here, I read that ZTE supplied the Clinton cartel with their phone and are easily hacked... and later hammered. Just like her bathroom server!!!!
She somehow sold that info.
I don’t understand how the Clinton Crime Foundation has never been investigated. ....UM. Yes I do.

And another reason for Trump to help Chinese workers and ZTE (despite the nefarious deep state warning about Chinese government espionage), is money. Trump's imitating the Clintons and making money in politics. He's doing it for his followers!
