Don't understand your fair fight comment. But a Biden administration is likely to be less of a one-man spite fest, but more thoughtful and rational than Trump's proved to be.
For years the PRC has needed to be treated with care — it can be beneficial as a trading partner, but not if it ends up owning great chunks of UK-based industry, land and real estate...
As long as we operate a trade deficit with them, there really is little else they can do with all that surplus of our cash.

You have to have something to trade.

So China won't be a beneficial trade partner with us ever, unless you are willing to trade these things.

If trading these things is not beneficial to you, then you must engage in trade protections to prevent it.
Trump has. He is the only one who has.
And you are knocking him for having done so.

That is because we used a bit of the Britons magic potion.

Biden will be in a corner before or if he even gets elected. At least we set about making it a fair fight this time. Throwing the UK a few crumbs won't quite cut the mustard this time. Just ask the Chinese.

I don't think China or Russia care if the UK manages Brexit well or not — they've already helped cause disruption and splits among Western nations.

The US — although still ironically nursing grudges against past British colonisations and current Commonwealth influence — is more concerned with trade and technical advancement, with which the UK could be involved and benefit from...

So does attacking the wrong poster but you don't even acknowledge that do you.

I suggest you go and read your absolute insulting drivel about my punctuation.  That is your method of debating to divert when you have a total failure of communication.  Knowing full well you are 100% wrong.   And you are doing  it again.

Give me a deal with China over the US any day.

Worryingly I have to agree.

The dopey fecks are only extending it because, they hope Biden will get in and crash democracy and Brexit, the Chinese still wait and watch, while sending out the feelers.

Insults, ridicule and personal attacks are not communicating, and also not debating. It merely shows an inability to debate.
