Xi Jinping warns Trump US would 'lose from confrontation' with China as renewed trade war looms

[shockedcanadian]

Sounds as if Xi is worried that Trump is going to try to win, something China doesn't want. I find it extremely difficult to see just what "cooperation" China has been providing considering their efforts spy on America and impact elections. The politicians from California and New York and a prime example of this influence.

Trump has a mandate and he must pursue it. Maybe Xi should answer for as to why they hacked into Trump, Vance and others phones. It is the MSS job to know what American leaders are doing, but when you get caught, there must be consequences.

China is the one policy issue that Biden did get correct to the point of maintaining and expanding some of Trumps tariffs.
Surely China doesn't believe Trump will do less than Biden did.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his election win, and warned the U.S. would "gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation" with China.

The message comes as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must prepare for deeper tensions as Trump has vowed to bring back the trade war of his last presidency with blanket tariffs.

"Xi Jinping noted that history tells us that both countries stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. A China-U.S. relationship with stable, healthy and sustainable development serves the common interests of the two countries," China’s foreign ministry said in a readout of the conversation.

China has its own interests. They are just as legitimate as ours.

Indeed. To them, their leaders, their government, their system and their global ambitions.

In the same vein, so does America and those in the West who support their efforts and values.

The world can't have both in the pole position I assure you.

Xi needs to stop back. Challenging Trump never ends well for the challenger.

China is not an enemy, just a competitor. And given that people like Xi don't have to worry about elections, they are in a better position

We got our ass kicked by the Flintstones/Taliban. Just keep that in mind.

I remember in the 2000's when REPUBLICANS were selling us on doing business with China, they loved the cheap shit we were getting from China. Us liberals didn't like it. We argued that we'd rather pay more but buy American. It's worth it. We lost that argument.

Now today we are having the same argument. But now BUY AMERICAN might hurt me and hurt the economy. Even Republicans are telling us get ready for some imminent short term pain. Pain on this and pain from all the cuts they are going to make to social programs. But in the long run it'll all MAGA.

I don't want to flip flop now. I say STOP buying from China.

You know, Trump didn't have to buy his bibles from China. He could have paid a little more and bought American made bibles. This is why I tell you people when it comes to things like going green, this stuff has to be mandated. You can't expect Trump to pay $2 a bible when he can buy them for 50 cents from China. You have to FORCE him to buy American with laws, regulations, tariffs.

Suddenly Republicans are all for government interference in the free market and regulations. I love it!

So why should we kowtow to theirs?

Keep sucking that ChiComm dick, slurpy.

Good question to ask is are we China's enemy? Fuck no. We are a strategic partner. Not friends. Not pals. Partners. One partner just negotiated a better deal for themselves.

Remember, we wanted their free shit. And our corporations want to sell shit in China.

Just remember in the 2000's you loved buying from China, dollar stores and you defended illegal employers. Not YOU but Republicans.

I bet you will still defend illegal employers. And I bet Trump won't go after them. So the illegal immigrant stealing our jobs problem won't really go away. As long as they can find a way in, they'll find work. Sure wack a mole will scare some from coming but it won't fix the problem. We need a president to also raid companies we know are knowingly hiring illegals.

Slurp Slurp Slurp.

a week ago you guys were asking the same thing about Russia. Pretending Russia is our friend. Still feel that way comrade?

Like I said, I would tariff Chinese imports too.

Yeah go after the companies and bankrupt them, that will fix things!

It's the government's job to protect our borders and send back people not here legally.

I'd rather support South Korea, Japan and the Philippines in the great Asian power struggle, but keep sucking that ChiComm dick.

Russia isn't our friend at all.

But bleeding the Ukrainian people dry for a decade isn't a war plan.

So why should we kowtow to theirs?

Who said we should?

Marty is thinking about homo stuff again

Situations change. China is no longer the nice, peaceful nation that was slowly opening up and which their future seemed to be more like the West. They did the old bait and switch, waiting for the right moment to install their President Xi, possibly with the silent hand of Russia.

Chinas military is huge now. They have a Space Station in the air and have been to the moon, yet, they are given special trade status with America and deemed a "developing economy?"

Trump must NOT turn his back on his voters or his legacy is finished with America when he and Vance could be the present day Reagan/GHBW

I don't know how much room there is for negotiations. If they stop buying our T-bills we would be fucked

So you surrender because they own you?

Try cutting government spending.

If Musk can actually find $2T in savings, that is a big deal. Ask Rand Paul to assist in the process.
