Yahhh that makes a lot of sense
Or you must be the sap that read the story from below and determined that the FAKE- made up officials current and former US employees are also now currently working with the Chinese government who happened to trust these idiots so much that they would jeopardize their ability to continue to surveil Trump by telling them these things so that the NYT could run an anti Trump story??? LOL Now I see why SAPS like you keep pointing to Trump's remarks during the campaign as colluding with the Russian... Russia if you have Hillary's email you will be ... rewarded! Gawd you guys are idiots, no idea what sarcasm is.
The current and former officials said they have also determined that China is seeking to use what it is learning from the calls — how Mr. Trump thinks, what arguments tend to sway him and to whom he is inclined to listen — to keep a trade war with the United States from escalating further. In what amounts to a marriage of lobbying and espionage, the Chinese have pieced together a list of the people with whom Mr. Trump regularly speaks in hopes of using them to influence the president, the officials said.
Among those on the list are Stephen A. Schwarzman, the Blackstone Group chief executive who has endowed a master’s program at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and Steve Wynn, the former Las Vegas casino magnate who used to own a lucrative property in Macau.
The Chinese have identified friends of both men and others among the president’s regulars, and are now relying on Chinese businessmen and others with ties to Beijing to feed arguments to the friends of the Trump friends. The strategy is that those people will pass on what they are hearing, and that Beijing’s views will eventually be delivered to the president by trusted voices, the officials said. They added that the Trump friends were most likely unaware of any Chinese effort.
