Changing opinions isn't going to bring back the slaughtered Ukrainians and their children. Macron should not have bargained for the "idea" Xi is a conduit to peace. Xi is assisting in destabilizing countries by dangling economic wealth. Enough of the nonsense already. The only reason international leaders are making the rounds in China is because Xi is trying to leverage as many countries as possible into a power play against NATO.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (click here) on Friday defended his country's pursuit of Chinese communication and semiconductor technology, brushing off security concerns from Western nations led by the United States.
"No one will prohibit Brazil from improving its relationship with China," the leftist Brazilian president said on a state visit to Beijing, a day after visiting a research center of telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd....
Vladimir Putin is under indictment by the International Criminal Court for genocide. He has killed children. Xi seems to ignore that reality and is peddling his own special kind of communism as if it is a wonderful peace to fall all over the world.
There is no particular peace being waged in the Middle East either. There maybe a ceasefire, but, as soon as Xi states the peace attempts are over and war should ensue, it will happen and then Saudi Arabia is going to come crying to NATO to protect it from invasion by Iran.
Xi wants Taiwan and he doesn't care who he kills. All this mess that is occurring internationally is to cement alliances as a guarantee to the war he and Putin are planning further.

Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin (click here) ended their Moscow summit this week by showcasing economic help and diplomatic support China will provide the now supplicant banana-less republic that is Putin’s Russia today.
But even more importantly, the two autocratic presidents were careful not to spotlight this year’s most important reality: Apparently, their famous “no limits” partnership they boldly declared in 2022, just three weeks before Putin invaded Ukraine, has limits, after all. And this week, we discovered those limits — in what was left out of this year’s summit declaration.
So it was that the sweeping nine-point joint statement Xi and Putin issued contained extensive pronouncements on all manner of issues. The greatest economic assistance agreement helps both countries. China will buy significant quantities of Russia’s oil and natural gas, making up for the European energy market Russia lost after it invaded Ukraine. The joint statement also dealt with grand global issues such as the climate change crisis, and even narrower regional specifics including Taiwan and Mongolia....

A communist's signature on an agreement is only good for as long as it serves their purpose. There is not an agreement Putin has signed that holds water anymore. He has violated every treaty he has signed only to believe NATO is a weak alliance that will sell their souls for the ability to declare peace exists to their people. Putin always read NATO and the G8 wrong. Now, the G7 exists and it is the way it should be. The G8 was a wish, not a firm partnership.
Russia and China are a problem in that they are trying to leverage world opinion to dismiss the fact genocide has occurred at the hand of man the world once trusted.
Got that?
Let me write that again.
Russia and China are trying to leverage world opinion to dismiss the fact genocide has occurred at the hand of a man the world once trusted.
One more time or isn't it necessary? I mean the communist propaganda machine is at work and the idea denial of the truth is the goal is real. So, if necessary, perhaps repeat those words at least once a day.
Russia and China are trying to leverage world opinion to dismiss the fact genocide has occurred at the hand of a man the world once trusted.
That was the third time. What does Wall Street advertisers say, "The seventh time is the charm." Right?
The more the message is heard the more believable it becomes.
Communists are thick as thieves and Xi is willing to back it up with the promise of wealth. Don't count on Middle East peace. I doubt Israel is.

A Chinese envoy said the Philippines is “stoking the fire” over Taiwan’s independence (click here) by giving the US access to military sites near the Taiwan Strait under an expanded defense agreement.
While Manila has adhered to the one-China principle, the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines said the decision “has caused widespread and grave concern among Chinese people.” Huang Xilian was speaking Friday at a forum in Manila on China-Philippines relations.
The Philippines this month identified the four new military sites the US will have access to under their Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, or EDCA. Three are near Taiwan and a fourth faces the disputed South China Sea....
Let's just be stupid enough to believe Xi wants a ONE CHINA with all partners on board in peace and tolerance of difference.
One has to ask if "One China" is based in peace and prosperity or death and killing. Xi seems to think it is death and killing according to the most recent games of war he carried out to terrify the people of Taiwan further.
Guam is a USA territory. It has been a long time. It is only natural the neighborhood will lean into peace with the USA. What does the "One China" want next? The USA should give up it's alliance with nations of the Pacific and give Guam to China? That would extend China's borders, wouldn't it?
You have to know the communists are never good partners in trade or peace. It is not in their priorities to be TRUSTWORTHY. That is what the issue with China boils down to, is "One China" a trustworthy entity? It isn't. The Chinese oligarchs are owned by the government of China. It is no different than the way Russia handles it's billionaires. The country is everything and everything else that says otherwise doesn't matter and the communists are ready to prove it.
Here is the true China.
Ready?
After September 11, 2001 occurred in the USA, under the direction of Don Rumsfeld, it was decided to purchase the airspace over Pakistan to reach Afghanistan. Made sense, right? Pakistan was viewed primarily as a quasi-ally. After Musharraf received the monies he purchased military articles from China. Military articles that would have to be balanced with India to ensure no confrontation. Probably a bargain basement because when China received those monies it turned around and built 100 more nuclear warheads/missiles to aim at the USA.
THAT is the true China.
This was after September 11, 2001 where international terrorists showed how they can reek havoc in the Free World. Did China care that an international understanding had to exist to prevent such acts of violence again? Hell, no. China was probably like the Palestinians in that they were hoping it would occur again and again to implode the USA.
There is no trustworthy China.
That is not opinion. It is a MEASURABLE fact!
