I'm tellin' ya, it's crazy how things have escalated between the States and China 
. Back in my day, we'd at least make an effort to talk trash on the sidelines instead of straight-up confrontations 
. Now, with all this tech and whatnot, people are getting so worked up over nothing... or is everything? 
I mean, Burns saying China "overreacted" doesn't necessarily cut it – China's got a point about wanting to keep Taiwan under control. It's like trying to solve a puzzle blindfolded while the other team's throwing all sorts of curveballs at ya 
Still, I do think we need to find some common ground on trade and economic stuff... or else we'll be stuck in this cycle forever

... but at the same time, china needs to calm down because it's gonna hurt their own economy & people don't wanna live in fear of usa/usa military presence 
... burn's saying both countries need 2 get along better 4 trade & econ coop, but like, is that even realistic given how much they disagree on everything? 
It's like they're speaking different languages or something! 
. Now, it feels like China is just going to keep getting upset about everything 
. Maybe if they just sat down and talked about it (and by talked, I mean negotiated some serious trade deals 
), we might be able to calm things down 
. But no, instead of working together, they're all like "You mess with me, I'll mess with you" 
...like kids in a sandbox!
