China, and Xi, I could have given him the SLWF menu (as Xi requested) so he could invest and choose anything he'd wish for among China-owned businesses.

The only difference is that he'd likely be more comfortable with me, our courts, and our economic policies, particularly the low taxes.

We're happy, because we do not see this as a zero-sum contest of power, as LHL suggested; we would be willing to maintain a trading deficit with China to strengthen our friendship.

We respect China, the Chinese people, and who you are.
