Chairman Xi Jinping delivers a speech the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference about trade but never mentions Trump.
Various Canadian media and economists and pundits and lobbyists speak about Canada's association with CPTTP and it's all Trump this, Trump that, Trump over there, Trump over here, Trump in the tent, Trump in a tree, Trump on a bicycle, Trump skipping rope, Trump playing tag, Trump playing king of the mountain, Orange Man, Orange Man, Orange Man, ORANGE MAN, OMG ORANGE MAN!!!111111!1111
It's positively psychological.
The whole country needs treatment.
South China Morning Post has the story about a right wing dictator of a massive country so calm in his aspect that he doesn't even bother to mention his chief economic adversary who he is battling and loosing ground to in a straight up economic war with trillions at stake along with the future of his country.
And conversely, here is the video showing Canadian broadcast service flouncing desperately trying to make their global trade deals sound good for certain isolated pockets of Canadians, but not for Canadian consumers, even while pundits accidentally acknowledging the scheme of allowing corporations full control over domestic pricing on commodities that has the result of exfiltrating wealth. And in all their minds, everything that they do is with Trump breathing on their necks.
China at war with the US doesn't even mention Trump, and Canada cannot keep Trump oot of their conversations. None of them can.
What's really weird, really really really weird, the thing that makes it so f'k'n obvious none of CBC newsreaders know what they're talking about, is the opening statement, "Free Traders around the world have something to raise a glass to new economic alliance..." She's reading. A script given to her. She's too stupid to know there IS no free trade. The deal itself assures that. It's the opposite of free trade. It's internationally manipulated trade, not free trade. And all the high-level finagling works against Canadian consumers.
The first newsreader is actually blond. She died her hair black to appear smarter. Fail.

The Donald should vaca in Canuckistan. He lives there rent-free.
And I'll bet there's something in Chinese culture that dictates when you mention, or don't mention, an adversary.
Exfiltrate: withdraw (troops or spies) surreptitiously, especially from a dangerous position.
For those, like me, who didn't know the meaning. Can it be used regarding withdrawing money surreptitiously? Not sure.
Prolly.
