US media fell for it again award. This is how Trump always negotiates he announces a "deal" that's actually just his initial offer and then calls up whoever it is and begs them to play along and not embarrass him because he already announced it, which works on NYC construction contractors but Xi doesn't give a shit.
I wonder if they'll actually sell the code source... that would be surprising. The best they'll get may be just a compiled version they can't do anything with.
