Experts said the finding provides new insights on China’s reaction to the war, such as its provision of weapons to U.S. allies, while reinforcing the growing consensus that the conflict is tilting the balance of power in Beijing’s favor.

“On balance, the war in Iran is massively improving China’s geopolitical position,” said Jacob Stokes, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security.

All you trumples better cover your eyes and ears.

Yeah, they are wrong. They are often wrong about a myriad of things, but they get away with it in your world because anything they say that is anti-Trump/US will be taken as fact.

Trump treated Xi respectfully, calling him a friend and posting on social media about how nice he found the authoritarian ruler. Yet for a president who is normally keenly attuned to slights, Trump brushed off several shows of disrespect by Xi.

The dictator suggested that America is a declining power, warning Trump to avoid conflict as Beijing displaces Washington as the world’s preeminent capital. The president sought to spin this afterward as an insult of then-President Joe Biden, but Xi’s remarks clearly weren’t intended that way.

To get around sanctions imposed on Secretary of State Marco Rubio in 2020 that would have blocked him from visiting, the Chinese changed the formal spelling of his name to include a new character that means rash, rude and clumsy.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry also sought to jam Trump by putting out a statement that said Xi told him “the Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-U.S. relations.” Xi threatened that “the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy,” if the United States doesn’t handle the issue “properly.”

After Xi saw the kinds of unhinged, vulgar, ignorant social media posts trump writes in the middle of the night, after he saw the videos of trump dumping shit on constituents trump posted, he knew what sort of moron he was dealing with. So he mocked the orange idiot.

Clearly Berg80 here believes that we are subserviant to China...

A confidential U.S. intelligence analysis

The assessment, the officials said,

Officials talked about

I guess it was either throw it in the trash or publish it and they decided on the former

 

[struth]

Don’t bow down to their leader, don’t agree that they can buy up our farmland, quit educating our enemies, don’t agree that we are a nation in decline, don’t lift bans on selling AI chips to them, demand they stop supporting Iran. That would have been a fine trip.

There is nothing Trump could have done in China to make MAGA question his terrible performance. Re read what he agreed to… everything maga opposes.

Why didn’t you care about. Gina buying hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in 2023?


Nobody said a word from the lett

The trump admin banned the sell

Thanks for another version of "Yeah but, but, but, Hunter."

Trump has said the closure of the strait is a major problem for China given its reliance on Gulf oil, but the intelligence report notes that China has weathered the shortages because of its development of renewable energy and its vast oil reserves.

“China is the second-most-insulated country in the world to the energy crisis, after only the United States,” said Ryan Hass, a China expert at the Brookings Institution.

Wait............hasn't trump tried to kill renewable energy projects in the US while promoting the use of fossil fuels.

In 2023 the GOP held congress but Biden issues orders that required:

• Mandatory Divestment: In May 2024, Biden issued an Executive Order ordering a Chinese-owned cryptocurrency mining firm to sell real estate located less than a mile from F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, citing espionage and intelligence-gathering risks.
• Expanded CFIUS Authority: The administration finalized rules expanding CFIUS jurisdiction to review foreign real estate transactions around dozens of sensitive military installations across the country.
• Tracking and Transparency: The administration faced pressure from lawmakers to enforce stricter reporting guidelines and penalties to better track all foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land through the USDA.

In 2024 he took some minor steps ? After four years of allowing them to purchase hundreds of thousand of acres of land…and he only did that after congress raised hell about it

And in. 2023 the gop had the house and raided he’ll about it. The dems had the senate and White House

Trump banned the sell

Trump of course saved it

I've said a thousand times, it's not the issue or policy, it's the way he addresses them. You can't be a caveman and/or an ignorant bully in this day and age. The Trumpsters here have never understood that, and Trump himself clearly doesn't.

And it appears they're still being told that we're admired and respected around the world. 80+ years of building soft power and a reputation for stability have been flushed, and he has no concept of that. Because he is flagrantly ignorant.

The rest of the world is talking about the fall of the American empire -- Xi just did it with the orange buffoon standing right there ("the Thucydides Trap" in Xi's speech), and the whole damn world sees it.

So Xi is you r new master. Good for you

 

[frigidweirdo]

This was intentional under mao. He knew millions would die from starvation due to his cultural revolution. Blood of millions is on his hands. Yeah, we've done bad things to natives but they aren't all innocent either as they warred among tribes and killed.

Ah, I see.

So, the Natives died because it was their own ******* fault for fighting back against the invaders.

And the blacks?

And the people who died in the great depression. You seem to have missed that part.

Bad things happened in China, bad things happened in the US.

The difference is how history is told to you. History will tell you that the US was ultimately good. But China was ultimately bad.

Do you know the difference between China in the 1940s and the US in the 1750s?

China had an intrenched mentality among the rich. The poor were often super poor.
People were dying before the Communists took over.

Chinese famine of 1920–1921 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"An estimated 30 million people in more than 200 counties were directly affected by the famine, which resulted in the deaths of half a million people over roughly a nine-month period."

Sichuan famine, 1925 | DisasterHistory.org

"In the early spring of 1925, telegrams began to reach the China International Famine Relief Commission in Shanghai reporting the development of a major famine affecting more than 30 counties in Sichuan province 1,500 miles to the west."

"One general history of the period puts total famine-related deaths in Sichuan in 1925 at more than 3 million people,"

China was a place where farming was done in a backwards manner because China was backwards. In China during the Cultural Revolution it was still very backwards.

Yes, Mao had many people killed because he could. Same in the US, killing blacks and Natives and anyone who they didn't particularly like.

This is no thanks to Biden draining our reserves to lower gas prices. At any rate, they are 2nd. Neat.

There is ZERO comparison between Communist China and the United States.
ZERO.
The fact that your perspective is so completely warped and twisted is a You problem.

 

[berg80]

Actually quite the opposite. It is a real-life mental illness and should be treated as such. Just because you have convinced yourself that is not the case, doesn’t make it so.

TDS is a fiction made up by trumples as a means to dismiss legitimate criticisms without having to deal with them.

Meaning, you can't handle the truth.

No, I don't think so. We broke every single treaty with the natives and fought with them over expansion. Let's not forget how savage and brutal the natives were though. They weren't this huge saint that you have built them up to be. We never have even remotely came close to mao's murder of 60 million. All that said, our current govt is antithetical to the US Constitution.
