1. Imagine you were a pig farmer selling a lot of pigs to a restaurant. One day the restaurant owner died of heart attack, and his business was taken over by his son.
The new owner began to complain that you were "stealing" his business and money because you sold more than you bought from him. In order to reduce his "trade deficit", he forced you to purchase a large amount of food that could feed at least 10 people at every meal. Literally you were force-fed like a Beijing duck.
2. As part of a so-called phase-one deal, Trump claimed that China would purchase a steep $50 billion worth of agricultural products from the US annually. Well, every farm product has an expiry date of its own especially when we consider the long time lag between harvesting and putting the food into the stomach after a long voyage across the Pacific.
One way for China to deal with the problem of unsold, rotten farm products is to dump them into the sea for the construction of artificial islands. Perhaps that is the best way to stop the US from complaining about Chinese activities in the South China Sea.
How can the US complain anymore? The artificial islands would be built at an astronomical cost for reducing US trade deficit.
