China Invites US Negotiators to Beijing

      Hi, we're Chinese trade negotiators and we'd like to continue to discuss issues.  Your President trump has imposed new tariffs on $200 billion of trade items which we believe will have a deleterious effect on the Chinese economy and perhaps force us to retaliate.  Our retaliation could come in the form of stealing trade secrets; hacking into US corporate data systems; instructing our sophisticated PLA cyber teams to infect Dept. of Defense servers; and perhaps upend the electrical grid and even your media servers.   Oh, you're right: we already do that.  Well, if you persist, we might continue as we have in the past.  So there.
     Mr. Mnuchin is a busy man.  Can he just board a plane and show up for dinner?  Hmmm.  What will he think about this?
