If China doesn't follow the bilateral, the enforcement mechanisms would kick in - and they have teeth.
not a WTO paper tiger
No idea wtf you mean by "taking hostages".
NATO is more "beefed up" then ever, and the Cold War 2 started by Obama's State dept is alive and well.
Of course you could always count on Beijing Biden to step up and confront China
Yeah. No shit.
If the US was in a 'Military War' with China, everyone would support a 'Government' effort to beat the Chinese. Using a 'Centralized Command' and total commitment for Victory.
Presently ... we are in an 'Economic War' with China. Most Americans seem UNAWARE of this.
No matter how often someone points this out, there doesn't seem much of a commitment to do anything about it.
the problem is most of the chips are manufactured in China -we have been allowing China to steal our IP and manufacture our critical infrastructure. there is all kinds of issues in play , check this out for many

LOL, nice spin on it....
No they didn't crack it, nor did they waste their time & the prestige of the USA in trying to do so......... Note the difference there.....
He got promises from a lying two bit dictator that sends rockets over Japan whenever he feels like it.... I am sure ppl in Japan are wondering where all that Yankee protection is @??
Didn't cost anything & he got what he paid for.

what "prestige?" can kim spend prestige? can kim eat prestige?
it's meaningless -something a neocon like Kristol/George Will would come up with
NEWSFLASH: Kim was doing all that -Obama even warned Trump NK was the biggest problem he faced.
Trump took the initiative and we got the ICBMS stopped if not the ballistics. i.e. no more sirens in Hawaii
I think you should contemplate "the perfect is the enemy of the good" when it comes to NK
Taking hostage is an old tradition to insure compliance of a treaty. Surprised you didn't know that..
They were treated very well usually & having the honor often of being in the family of the host.......
In many ways, Flavius Aetius personified the tumultuous changes that rocked the Western Roman Empire during its final years. As Rome faded into the twilight of nations, Aetius’s military and political acumen were all that stood between the Eternal City and the barbarian hordes. His stunning victory over the Huns at the Battle of Chalons is enough to secure his legacy among the pantheon of legendary Roman commanders. However, Aetius was far more than a military leader. He was also a ruthless political operator whose cold-blooded pursuit of power changed the course of world history.
[text_ad]
It is one of history’s great ironies that the man known as the “last of the Romans” was himself a barbarian. His father was a Scythian soldier who rose to the rank of magister equitum (master of horse) in the Roman army, his mother was a noblewoman of Italian descent. Aetius’s heritage made him uniquely suited to deal with the challenges facing Rome at the dawn of the fifth century. From almost the moment he could walk, Aetius was schooled in the ways of war and politics. As a young boy, he was sent as a hostage to the camp of the Visigoth king Alaric. His time among the Visigoths was well spent perfecting his riding skills and learning how to fight from horseback. He also became familiar with the barbarians’ tactics, knowledge that would serve him well in later years.

^ interesting but irrelevant.
modern states with the exception of Iran dont hostage take to blackmail other countries. not China. not Russia

Correct, most ppl are totally oblivious to it, & frankly don't care, just give me my phone & flat screens...
The USA & west have been preoccupied w/ the ME & nation building probably @ the worse possible time in our history...... The rapid rise of China went practically unnoticed, not only in the public but in politics as well........
Obama was preoccupied w/ dealing w/ that + the economic crisis bush the lesser blessed him w/..........
But IMHO he did a shitty job of making the public aware, as did hillary~she put up little resistance to dumping the TPP or challenging China before they were to big to be put back in place... Could also be because it was already to late by then.
trump to his cred or probably Steven Bannons they are challenging China but not much & it is likely to late to do what he thinks he can.........
China came out of the box playing by their own rules & could have been punked out the gate but the endless wars & wallstreet helped cloud their relationship & challenges it created, made it look all happy happy long time!!

Yet his actions say otherwise. He has scolded Merkel many times over the the Nordstream 2 pipeline and told NATO members to pay their dues. Europe is dangerously reliant on Russian gas, which now supplies 40%. He has also imposed swingeing sanctions against Russia, the Poles and Baltic states distrust Putin the most, they haven't forgotten the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939.
The very best are not made there, for now anyway.....
I don't think Obama or trump has allowed it, they are unable to stop the stealing & china certainly isn't going to enforce it.........
Also many of these companies agreed to give their tech to the CCP for that golden egg........Lets not forget their complicity here....
Allowing them to demand that to do business there should never have been allowed, although how can the USA police that??
Allowing Chinese companies in our markets & our stock market should not be either-if they don't have to play by the exact same rules of accounting etc that American firms have to......... Selling trinkets & cheap shit on Alibaba isn't a fuckin state secret, nor is the fact that jack ma is a big shot in the communist party..
England is in a tuff spot, but that is the spot most countries are in & the rest will be one day. We already seen a taste of that when the NBA kowtowed to china threats..... big money bows to big markets, the commies know it full well............

I don't think it is too late for the American Government to support American Tech Companies to give them whatever they need.
Do you think table sugar is important? Apparently somebody does.
"The U.S. Sugar program is the federal commodity support program that maintains a minimum price for sugar, authorized by the 2002 farm bill (P.L. 107-171, Sec. 1401-1403) to cover the 2002-2007 crops of sugar beets and sugarcane."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Sugar_Program
All the 'Free Traders' around here have no problem with Quotas, Price Supports, and Tariffs for the Sugar Industry, ... where's the Problem with a 'Federal Support Program' for The Tech Industry?
They have been protecting American sugar for many years.....
I/we would have to think upon it.. Off the top I dunno how the gubment or anyone can protect them completely or really partially if the the theft takes place in another country, aka china..
Really innovation is the key, improve faster than they can rob you..
IMHO there is a couple inherent flaws that should be addressed. On the one hand total lack of respect for patents in china, on the other patents are a two edged sword..
American/rest of the world countries use patents to protect themselves, but they also use them to stymie innovation of their competitors by locking them up-not using them & preventing those that can innovate w/ them from doing so~obviously not a problem in china lol
That is something I think the gubment could perhaps address & encourage cooperation, skirting perhaps some anti-trust law etc
