Likely Xi has been convinced that China is not yet ready for direct conflict with the US, and that elements within the US government are trying to accelerate the time line in order to strike before China is ready. I agree with this assessment; and also think that fixing China's problems, particularly its declining marriage rates & demographics, are far more important for the time being. Maintaining the status quo until the US's decline is further along is wise; at the same time, China must fix its own problems and continue closing the gap.

A clown show documentary from a clown ex-BBC journalist. It's about a bunch of Taiwanese Boba youths "combat training" with airsoft guns. Complete with a COD-style "CQB training". Wow they're feeling so tough after that.

Hey, try firing real automatic rifles indoors. Try popping some grenades around the corners. Not so fun already? That's loud right? Ears ringing? That ain't nothing yet. Try taking a tank round or a thermobaric rocket through a window. Urban warfare is fun right?

Taiwanese Boba soldiers are not ready for war. Just give up already and start making real use of your freedumb. Run over to the West to work as janitors and dishwashers. We all know that you idiots don't love Taiwan, you only love your own egos. Just leave Taiwan behind to be governed by a real Chinese government. You are free to continue whining about it in the West forever.

Lmao look at Campbell and Blinken's reaction. Burns, Kerry and Kritenbrink are just starting in disbelief. Those two ladies were also present in the meeting with Xi, does anyone know who they are?

Was it that difficult for Biden to not say yes? Anything would have been better than a yes. His normal incoherent ramblings would be a way better answer.
Then it's gonna be fair for President Xi to reciprocate:

Reporter: Is Biden too old for his job?

President Xi: Yes. My dear friend Joe is getting old. I wish him all the best of health. We could offer our fine doctors to help should he requests for it.

Xi meets with the real leaders of America and gives a speech. After today's footage, I see why Xi wanted to meet with business leaders before meeting Dementia Joe.

Xi be like:
"My country brings all the capitalist to the yard And they're like, it's better than yours Damn right it's better than yours I can teach you, but I have to make you read my books."

So, how does that work? High-level military communication ended due to Pelosi's visit to Taiwan last year.

What has changed since then to now change course?

All I got from that is China buying just a little bit more time and basically ensuring that China wouldn’t be the one to ruin things for the world in the near future. Somehow I am surprised that the reporter who brought up the dictator bit should’ve been shut up given how important it is to give good impressions. Oh well, I am predicting that the reporters life might be in jeopardy (I mean you had one chance to avoid that how dictator crap and he blew it again) and for once, I am barely going to give a remote damn because well, anyone with common sense would have avoided such a stupid question given the how high the stakes are for the USA right now and how often Biden seems to screw up, it’s such a low hanging tree and they still manage to screw up. Almost comical

Turns out Tiktok really is dangerous for America.

Archived version of Osama's letter to Americans in 2002
Interesting read.

The end of the letter:
If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness, guidance and righteousness that we call them to, then be aware that you will lose this Crusade Bush began, just like the other previous Crusades in which you were humiliated by the hands of the Mujahideen, fleeing to your home in great silence and disgrace. If the Americans do not respond, then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy.
This is our message to the Americans, as an answer to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance, by the permission of Allah, we shall be victorious?

The American is on a pickle of their own making and China had the Time, so its a win win for both. Please remember this date 2025 the timeline were the Neocons plan a war against the Chinese had turn to shambles, thanks in part from Russia. The Ruskie had shown that the Collective West and NATO in particular is a paper tiger, taking them on had boosted their confidence and of the Global South, the myth of invincibility had been shattered.

The Chinese had been preparing and they know next year will be the inflection point as their vulnerability will be address, plus various events will further complicate the American position, like their Presidential election and the Russian spring offensive.

They had done the impossible by tackling the problem head on, pooping the housing bubble requires deft, tenacity and patience. Like I said within 2 years (2025) the Chinese will solve their vulnerability. And also the shift to DUAL CIRCULATION strategy is midway thru its implementation,( it was started in 2021) we may see the result by the end of 2025 after the completion of the 14th FYP.

I wouldn't take what Biden says to domestic reporters seriously. It's all a show, the real powers that control the relationship is the US business and corporate elites. The politicians are bought and owned by corporations.

Anyways, China knows during election season, US politicians compete to say a bunch of nasty shit, but once elected, it calms down (exception is Trump). So long as the redline on Taiwan is not crossed, China isn't going to worry, the US domestic politics is a shitshow, and US political dysfunction and polarization likely accelerate it's decline.
