China to Trump: We dont want a trade war but if there is one, youd lose
Source: Washington Post
BEIJING Chinas premier told the United States on Wednesday: We dont want a trade war with you, but if one breaks out, your companies would bear the brunt.
Yet despite tensions over jobs, currency rates and security matters, Li Keqiang told a news conference in Beijing ahead of the first visit by the new U.S. secretary of state that he remained optimistic about the future of Chinas relationship with the United States.
Our hope on the Chinese side is that, no matter what bumps this relationship may run into, it will continue to move forward in a positive direction, he said.
The two countries share extensive common interests and should sit down to talk to each other to build trust and narrow differences, Li told journalists at the end of Chinas annual parliamentary session. He added that diplomats were working toward a face-to-face meeting between President Xi Jinping and President Trump.

Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts . . . and only the heir to the throne of the kingdom of idiots fights a war on twelve fronts.
I think that pretty much covers Trump.
