Xi vs djt - China Summit 2026: The Lecturer and Philosopher King vs The Other Guy

[JohnDB]

Not sure how MAGA can be that seriously dumb.

30 top businessmen in the world....

And MAGA is dumb?

Ummmm.....look in the mirror.....then use that statement about the person pictured there.

 

[22lcidw]

Not sure how MAGA can be that seriously dumb.

If the so called MAGA went into the streets in their states of cities that have a higher percentage of Progressives and they did what Progressives did to ICE in cities like Minneapolis would you support them? Xi would have squashed those riots. So, if we become a Communist colony to the new World Power Champion a new way of living would be forced on us all.

You too with an uninformed opinion versus:

But in private meetings with foreign leaders, captured in the accounts of those who were there, along with the occasional hot mic, a sharper portrait emerges.

No foreign leader would seriously consider viewing Trump in such a positive light.

Come on Dainty .
Do you really think that other Munchers here will believe that you are as Gullible as you are pretending to be ?

Do you really imagine that we are privy to ultra private chat between these two different types of psychopathic warlords?

Trumpfy will whisper
Fentanyl and Tarrifs
Jum Ping will mention Rare Earths and refusal to buy any more American debt . Ever .
Plus Hypersonic Missiles for Iran .

Very philosophic .

Do you ever pay attention to what it is you imagine you are responding to?

This is what you left of of that comment.

China has you bamboozled. Their economy is crashing worse than ours. They’re just hoping Trump’s mistakes throws them the lifeline they need.

Go whine elsewhere. You people are so demented. Like MAGA has their own cities.

I don't believe Dante is saying what you infer he is saying. Now try and pay attention.

It was late 2016, and Mr. Trump had just stunned the world weeks earlier by winning the U.S. presidential election. Mr. Xi was meeting President Obama for the final time at a summit in Lima, Peru, and he had questions.

Mr. Xi seemed baffled as to how American voters could choose someone so unconventional, according to Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser in the Obama administration who attended the meeting.

Mr. Obama tried to explain to Mr. Xi that Mr. Trump’s rise was a sign of economic frustration in the United States, in part over the loss of manufacturing jobs to China and the theft of intellectual property. Mr. Xi, in Mr. Rhodes’s telling, was displeased with the explanation.

He put down his pen, folded his arms and said: “If an immature leader throws the world into chaos, then the world will know who to blame.”

Now, as he heads into a summit with Mr. Trump in Beijing, Mr. Xi will want to present China as a stable and strong global power, analysts say, while being conciliatory enough to preserve a fragile trade truce with Mr. Trump.

“I expect that Xi will show Trump respect but not flatter him,” said Susan Shirk, the author of “Overreach: How China Derailed Its Peaceful Rise.”

“The contrast with Trump’s unilateral and disruptive actions will be implicit, not explicit,” she added.

Trump brought 30 of the top businessmen of the world....hungry to make deals and contacts.
Trump is not some sort of sniveling simp....he came to dominate with power and deals they cant refuse.

Trump is looking svelt! He has been working out!

 

[Mac1958]

Right now China has at least 60 oil tankers stranded or delayed in the Strait, and Xi will tell Trump to do something about that. I imagine Trump will. Then he'd claim it to be some grand, magnanimous gesture.

I'm so glad I'm not able to hear these "talks". I've watched my country be humiliated and weakened on the world stage for almost a year and a half now.

I agree Xi is more diplomatic, but that’s what makes him more dangerous, particularly when we’re saddled with president who’s lost his mind.

Could not agree more if we tried.

He did....he offered "whatever is needed" to end the war and demilitarize the straight of Hormuz.

On which day did he offer that?

Trump changes his tune more often than he does his adult diapers. And that's a lot of times, as he is actually, seriously always full-of-fecal-matter.

Trump’s Shrinking Ambitions on China

The president came into office planning harsher trade moves on China than on the rest of the world. Here’s why he’s had to scale them back.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/us/politics/trump-china-trade-us.html

When President Trump campaigned in 2024, he promised a trade agenda that would hit China harder than any other economic partner, expanding on actions he had taken in his first term.

Mr. Trump talked about imposing a tariff of 60 percent or more on the country, and proposed stripping China of the preferential trade relations given to it when it joined the World Trade Organization. The rest of the world would be subject to tariffs too, but they would be much lower, at 10 or 20 percent.

More than a year into Mr. Trump’s second term, the picture looks dramatically different. Though U.S. tariffs on China are higher overall when the tariffs from Mr. Trump’s first term are added in, other countries have faced punitive levies that were nearly as high, and higher for some products.

The Trump administration has saved its most caustic criticism for allies in Europe and Canada, while approaching China more cautiously. And as Mr. Trump heads to Beijing this week for a summit with the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, expectations for its outcomes are limited.

Iran agreed long ago not to develop a Nuke Bomb.

facts matter

 

[22lcidw]

Go whine elsewhere. You people are so demented. Like MAGA has their own cities.

It's your cities that are on a permanent soapbox. The ones that are in near total Progressive Socialist control. What we are living in is somewhat dystopian. We have a fair percentage of Deplorable men having some control of red areas against a fair percentage of Progressive Socialist Communist extreme feminist women controlling blue areas. This is a generalized statement.

 

[konradv]

Dante would not say Xi is dangerous, but.

Xi is dangerous. He’s doesn't believe anything we believe and would willingly put us under his thumb the way he has China. My greatest fear right now is that Trump’s love of authoritarians will lead him to sell out Taiwan for the rare earths that he wasted in a war of choice with Iran.
