Trump’s upcoming Beijing visit is turning into a diplomatic nightmare for Xi Jinping.

quote:

Xi originally invited Trump hoping it would look like a major diplomatic victory. Instead, it’s becoming a humiliation.

Three signals make this obvious.
First, Marco Rubio is coming with Trump, the same Rubio Beijing sanctioned and banned from entering China for criticizing Xinjiang and Hong Kong.

Second, Trump is refusing the usual grand tour. Unlike Macron or Scholz, he will only stay in Beijing and skip visiting other Chinese cities, making the trip short and transactional rather than friendly.

Third, reports say the U.S. may approve $14 billion in arms sales to Taiwan immediately after the meeting, possibly the largest package ever.

In other words, Trump is framing the trip as business, not friendship.
What Xi hoped would look like tribute now risks looking like a diplomatic slap in the face.

China has killed more Americans than anyone in my lifetime by flooding our streets with fentanyl and have attacked us from a million directions with the intent of destroying our domestic economy, so why should we be friendly towards them?

Power Mentor: the silent game to destroy america

We should view them as the second biggest threat to America behind the globalists and they should be treated accordingly.

Sounds like the Iranian oil infrastructure will be destroyed soon, this leaves China without oil to even invade Taiwan. Isolated and cut off for its cheap supply of sanctioned oil.

This will also expose the European lack of coherent energy strategy as they continue to crash out. Merz said bringing back nuclear was "impossible". Crazy.

There is also movement on the cuba front, moving towards democracy.

Sounds like the strategy for avoiding WWIII is working.

It's time to stop pretending that our enemies are our friends. China is our enemy and Trump is the first president in my lifetime to treat them a such.

It was smart of Xi to let the future Emperor of China tag along on this trip.

The CCP is not America's friend. At least, not Trump's friend. I'm glad that President Trump is setting this tone.

Many of our enemies are from within, like the rat bastards that sold the American people out to the CCP and shipped the US industrial/manufacturing base to China in the name of a quick buck

33% of china's oil comes from Venezuela, Russia, and Iran, all of which will be selling at market price rather than huge discounts due to sanctions. That is gonna bite their arse.

We're wasting time with pawns like Ukraine and Iran when the real enemy is in China.

Solid post.

A lot of countries, including China, have a vested interest in removing Trump. Watch your six Mr President.

Don't forget about unleashing COVID on us and the world. They stopped domestic flights, but allowed international. It was diabolical.

Wish people would discuss the Chinese, Indian, moslim influence in this nation the way they do about da joos. Especially since we are fighting multi billions in those 3 vs 20million.

Unfortunately not. China will have all the oil they want. It will cost them more than it used to because they were buying oil from rogue states below market prices.
