The rat and the ox are lead animals in the Chinese zodiac. The other ten animals were divided evenly on which animal to choose, so the emperor told the rat and the ox to take their case to the people. Heading into the elections, we should expect American ox-like rhetoric and actions to continue. Given his control in China, we should not expect China’s ox-like approach to change much either. The year of the rat is generally an auspicious one, and the Chinese zodiac tells us the rat and ox can get along and mutually prosper.
