@dalfen The 99% are not invited.

@darkpixel Aww that's a cute meme

@dalfen I see a lot of folk who want market access (finance, social media) and others who maybe hope they can get patents enforced in China (Illumina, maybe Nvidia)

Nvidia's Huang flew on Air Force One, personally invited by Trump.

Trump posted on social media that he wanted China to "open up" so that the "brilliant" tech and finance people he invited could "work their magic."

/3 - Strange.

Sure, other presidents (like Reagan) have promoted capitalism in #China and trade with the country, but did they bring an entourage of #business people with them on diplomatic state visits?

And would they have personally invited a giant US #tech company's CEO to accompany them on the trip?

I wonder what deals are being made. And #trump seems to favor some companies over others.

'Free market' doesn't mean that the president personally promotes business deals...
