China grants five trademarks to Ivanka Trump's firm amid trade talks
​

SHANGHAI: The Chinese government has granted Ivanka Trump’s company preliminary approval for another five trademarks this month, as her father’s administration pushes ahead on trade negotiations with China.

Four trademarks, including child care centres, sunglasses and wedding dresses, were approved on Sunday. A fifth, covering brokerage, charitable fundraising and art valuation services, were approved on January 6, according to online trademark office records. The applications were filed in 2016 and 2017. If no one objects, they will be finalized after 90 days.

Ivanka Trump’s expanding intellectual property holdings have long raised ethical concerns, particularly in China, where the courts and bureaucracy tend to reflect the will of the ruling Communist Party.

COMMENT:-

According to Washington, the US/China trade talks are "going well".

I sometimes wonder exactly what "going well" means.

China is playing the Trump haters like a fiddle. To bad they can't play Trump, isn't it?
