In the wake of today’s global stock market crash which owes a great deal to Chinese currency devaluation as well their aggressive military posture on the South China Sea, their cyberattacks and persecution of religious minorities, Scott Walker has called upon President Obama to “show some backbone” and cancel next month’s state dinner with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.

Of course, Obama will do no such thing. After all, Obama thinks its easier to be President of China than this country and would like pointers. But if today’s tumble on the world markets has a lasting impact then perhaps pressure will be brought to bear on Obama to disinvite Xi. Again, this is an unlikely scenario unless Xi converts to Judaism and changes his name to Netanyahu. But it does look bad for Obama to welcome China with open arms at a time when China is stabbing this country in the backat every turn.
