President Trump has set it up, which might seem to be perhaps a bit unwise. The China Daily, which speaks specifically for President Xi, says caving into US pressure is out of the question. They're putting it all on the line. There's no possibility of backing down from that. If China does cave in to American pressure, then President Xi Jinping himself will pay the price for it.

Yes, as long as he wins. But, you know, every Chinese leader and Xi Jinping more than anybody else has to remember that the stability of China comes first.

Now, you may think that that's an obvious question because, as you've just heard from Carol, they hope that their disease will get better and their symptoms will go away.
