波顿炸弹：川普要求习近平协助当选

CNN：前白宫国安顾问波顿新书爆料：川普要求习近平帮助他连选连任，要求中国多买美国农产品，美国可以对中国剩余的3500亿美元贸易顺差不加税；要求中国调查民主党对手白登的问题， 并赞成中国在新疆建立集中营。总之，帮助川普显得比中国和民主党都强硬。

演戏成功，川普第二任当然要报答习近平。

【Now新聞台】美國前國家安全顧問博爾頓的新書，亦有提到香港去年爆發的反修例運動。

博爾頓在書中指，去年六月約150萬人上街反對逃犯條例後，特朗普向他表示這是一宗大事，但自己不想介入事件，又說美國也有人權問題。

博爾頓指，他原本以為特朗普會利用香港作為與中國討價還價的籌碼，但他看錯了對方，又指特朗普今年轉軚，高調批評中國，但是否付諸行動仍然有待觀察，又指特朗普政府表明，北京會因打壓香港異見人士而承受後果，但現時仍未有實際行動。

川普已经决定起诉波顿泄密。

Washington (CNN)Former national security adviser John Bolton has leveled a stunning accusation against his former boss, claiming in his new book that President Donald Trump personally asked his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, to help him win the 2020 US presidential election, according to a copy obtained by CNN Wednesday.

Bolton also charged that when Xi told Trump last year that China was building concentration camps for the mass detention of Uyghur Muslims, Trump said Xi should go ahead building the camps, "which he thought was exactly the right thing to do."

At another meeting during last year's G-20 Summit in Osaka, Bolton writes Trump "stunningly" turned the conversation to the upcoming 2020 election. The former national security adviser said Trump "stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome," adding that he "would print Trump's exact words, but the government's prepublication review process has decided otherwise."

Bolton accuses Trump of lying ahead of book publication

Bolton said the conversation turned back to the trade deal, and Trump "proposed that for the remaining $350 billion of trade imbalances (by Trump's arithmetic), the US would not impose tariffs, but he again returned to importuning Xi to buy as many American farm products as China could."

"He is a liar," Trump told the Wall Street Journal Wednesday, adding that "everybody in the White House hated John Bolton."

He told Fox News' Sean Hannity in an interview that Bolton disclosed "highly classified information."

"And he did not have approval," Trump said.

The allegation that Trump asked the leader of a major US adversary to help him win the next election will reverberate across Washington six months after Trump was impeached on charges he sought help from Ukraine with his reelection bid. Trump openly asked China to investigate his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden last year, and has refused to accept the conclusion of US intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to try to help him win.

The claims come as the Trump campaign has tried to make China a central issue of the 2020 election, framing the President as tougher on Beijing than Biden.

The interactions with Xi were just some of the unflattering details about Trump contained in Bolton's book, titled "In the Room Where it Happened." Bolton also writes that Trump directly connected US security aid to Ukraine with an investigation into his presumptive 2020 opponent -- the key allegation in the Democrats' impeachment case -- and accuses Trump repeatedly of lying.
