China awards Trump valuable new trademark (AP) 2.15.2017 (Back-door deal for One-China?)
SHANGHAI (AP) — The government of China awarded U.S. President Donald Trump valuable rights to his own name this week, in the form of a 10-year trademark for construction services.
The registration became official on Feb. 14 and was published in a trademark registration announcement on the website of China's Trademark Office on Wednesday.
This may well be the first foreign trademark to be handed to Trump during his presidency, but is unlikely to be the last. In China alone he has 49 pending trademark applications and 77 marks already registered in his own name, most of which will come up for renewal during his term.

Hmmmm... I remember trump rescinding his stance on the One-China rule regarding Taiwan and the suspicion was that he had made a deal behind closed doors. Could this be it?
