The US president's China "experts" Michael Pillsbury, Peter Navarro and Matt Pottinger are working in parallel with Pompeo to punish, humiliate and isolate the very country they are allegedly expert in. Their bigoted and incendiary anti-China rhetoric puts ordinary Asian Americans at risk. Pillsbury alludes to inscrutably secret Chinese plans while Navarro claims on TV that the two countries are at war because Shanghai Disneyland is now open and the one near his home in Anaheim, California, is closed. The US president abruptly ends a White House news conference, refusing to answer the question of a Chinese-American journalist with a withering put-down, telling her to "ask China".
Michael Pillsbury, Trump’s chief outside policy adviser on China, told Just the News he believes Trump should intervene and force regulators to make China comply with its 2013 MOU or penalize Chinese companies by removing them from U.S. exchanges.
Michael Pillsbury, a China analyst who has worked as an outside adviser to Trump, told Reuters he believed the president was concerned that China not only wanted to re-negotiate the Phase 1 deal, but also had not been meeting goals in purchasing from United States.
