There are two sides to the coin about China’s huge trade surplus over the U. S., that China has been cheating, and that previous U. S. presidents allowed them to do it, so Trump’s having said (in the U. S.) that China has been “raping” the U. S. economy does not conflict with his saying (in China) that he doesn’t blame them for doing it, leaving open the question whether the “raping” will continue.
