UPDATE 2 China says that "dialogue and cooperation is the only right choice". China emphasizes that the US should stay out of the Taiwan question, stop pursuing Taiwan independence. Xi invites Trump to visit China.

I hate this whole obsession of single individuals representing the whole country. Like im sure there are alot of people that can work out the trade agreement and it doesnt have to be some mafia style my boss talks to your boss. I think Trump is just mob-brained

western media cannot delve into the material basis for geopolitics, or acknowledge the democratic legitimacy of enemy leadership. so everything has to be reduced to psychological analysis of the "dictator" who personally controls everyone in their country through intimidation

I mean, to be fair, the tariffs were done by executive order so the whole trade agreement is sort of hinged on him. It makes sense that China would send Xi to talk him down rather than just direct him to the ministry of finance or something.

Trump just continuing the grift to get vacations paid for by taxpayers where they treat him like a vip the whole time he's there.

Trump's political mentor was Roy Cohn the mobbed up McCarthyist attorney

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Nah, China required Trump to do this because America has backed out of everything they agreed to on Trump's say so. You can't trust his talented subordinates when he consistently overrides them

Correct and China is as much to blame for this shit though, that disastrous piece of garbage idea for Xi to meet Biden in SF barely one month into the genocide?

The CPC enjoys the idea Xi can have the soft peaceful discourse and being the "good" face of modern China just as much as the racist westerners enjoy making Xi caricatures of dictatorship etc.

withholding rare earth minerals was the end of all of this. China won the trade war over a month ago. Watching the Trump team squirm since then has been truly great.

I hope Xi gives a trump a tour of China and he becomes communist brained by seeing how much more advanced they are than us

[-] [email protected] 36 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

if they take him to the most advanced fast food places in china and just let him pig out we will see world peace in the next decade

They could tell him they're changing the name to general trumps chicken and he would let them go into Taiwan next week.

xi-square-up“Sure, I’ll accept the charges. Hey there Donny, really appreciate that despite your tariffs you’re still importing massive amounts of L’s.”

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

There should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products

yeah he's trying to imply they will stop the embargo on REs but this really is just acknowledgement of the issue

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

I hope they don't let up. They're mainly used for bombs and shit by the US

[-] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago

I want to add that this call was planned ahead of time. On Monday, I saw a news article that there would be a call on Thursday. China wants it to be clear to everyone that Trump invoked the call.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

he wanted to workshop his new Chinese voice impression

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Honestly, it wouldn't supriseme if trump just doesn't give a single shit about Taiwan lmao

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

STRONG AND POWERFUL TRUMP USING HIS STRONG AND POWERFUL TARIFFS ALLOWS CHINA TO BEG FOR MERCY.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

Interesting how his Truth Social post goes out of its way to try and prevent the media from making this about russia/ukraine/iran.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago

Trump had some knock-knock jokes he wanted to share

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

Trump has agreed to send 1,000 reactionaries a day. xi-god-emperor

I've added the Chinese MFA press statement. Something that stands out is that their statement says that Trump loves Chinese students in the US, but I think Trump is still threatening to revoke Chinese student visas.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

I hope he spends many weeks there and other places where he can't mess with our daily lives.
