I think the deal has already been struck and the losers are Hong Kong’s independence/freedom movement. President Trump will probably look the other way or send a weak condemnation of China’s aggressive action to take control of Hong’s Kong as long as he feels he is given more control in a trade deal with China. China will capitulate to such a deal because they see a brighter future if they control Hong Kong then a trade war with the United States. In Poker you must deal with the hand you have not the one you want and this might be the one that allows both sides to leave the table feeling as if they both won at least in someway.
