Obviously, they still have Jimmy Lai, who is the Hong Kong British businessman who is still imprisoned in China.
And of course, there's also the question of the US.
He has to somehow walk this tightrope of trying to get closer to China for economic reasons without evoking the ire of the toddler in the White House.
You know, that is very, very difficult.
This is the big question, right?
Because I think it was always difficult to try and get closer to China, even without Donald Trump, who is this kind of episodic man who literally will do things on the flip of a coin.
He is so, you know, he's so just motivated by how he feels in that moment.
I was thinking about, you know, this relationship between managing Xi Jinping and Donald Trump, and it kind of reminded me a bit of wedding planning.
In that you kind of have to make everybody, you know, especially in a blended family, right?
You kind of have to make everyone feel included.
You have to make them feel valued.

Every speech could be, you know, freighted with meaning.

It is pretty big stakes on either side.
So that tightrope is very, very difficult anyway, but especially when Donald Trump is putting as much pressure as he can on other countries now to distance themselves from China.
It's not great.
You know, it's going to be like some investment, but not too much involvement in our infrastructure.
You know, we're going to work closely with you, but not so closely that we're going to piss anyone off.
