What do you all make of this?
American decline is absolute, and relative.
This deal underscores that on most topics, no one really cares what the Americans may think.
What do you all make of this?
She’s a professor, well colour me utterly surprised. If she was one, I thought the US economy wouldn’t have been in the trouble it is now. But then again, the government department is lead by ideologs, not people with real brain power but I am having a lot of trouble believing that Yellen is someone that has real intellectual capability given her tendency to go for the lowest common denominator (which is bag China instead of well using proper negotiation) unless she is simply too old for the jobProf Yellen is a professor. People like that, have integrity, you have to in order to teach young people.
What Janet Yellen is not, she is not a politician, or a lawyer, unlike the rest of them, Gina, Tony and Jake the snake.
I think the PRC leadership understands that.
Yellen could say anything, and politburo will not really believe her, if they do not want to.
The Chinese have no illusions about the Americans, but with Yellen, the Chinese have no illusions about this person either, she is trying to be someone she is not.
All those odd ball things she has to say, remember this is a professor who will fail you if say crap like that. I never heard anyone say important stuff without any conviction at all.
Yellen can deliver the message, but everyone knows she does not believe in what she is saying, unlike those other three.

No need to worry about China. It has war-gamed such scenarios probably dozens of times already.
People said the same thing when Trade War was initiated. SDF was like a collective funeral at that time lol
lol. from where you knowledge comes from?. it has everything to do with Gulf Arabs. the payment system for the port development is created in UAE. i guess you havent read my earlier link. and it is Arab trade that will increase on Iran infrastructure.
Yep. Trial balloon to give cover to EU to conclude it's Chinese EV "investigation" and put tariffs without getting big blowback. Medical devices is also on the chopping block.
Western delusions as usual. US will soon enough get blowback and if EU wishes to initiate a trade war, China wouldn't mind kicking it over the economic abyss
He can't keep getting away with this!
Ayy lmao this guy's a beast!
He can't keep getting away with this!
If I had to guess what it is, I'd guess it's some cheese. The greastest cultural divide between French food and Chinese palates has got to be weird rare stinky cheeses that the French covet but the Chinese think are disgusting. Macron probably had some shit that took 16 years to make that is teeming with maggots and odd coloured mould all over it, costs like 200 Euros a gram and only a single family in France has passed down the tradition of making this cheese, 1 wheel per month, enitrely by hand in a 600 year old barrel and he's smiling like the taste is going to send Xi and his wife into orgasm. Xi, however, took one bite and felt like someone had just put a used condom fermented for a month in a marathon runner's used sock into his mouth. Literally considered for a moment if this counts as an assassination attempt.I literally lol'd when I saw the above pics. Here's the exchange I imagined:
Pic 1 -- Chef serves some weird French "delicacy" to President Xi and Madame Peng, while Macron desperately hopes they'll say it's delicious.
Pic 2 -- "WTF is this sh*t?"
Are you deliberately ignoring reality?.I understand that there is probably a desire to keep a village idiot as a mascot in lots of online communities, but I think we here at SDF deserve a better class of village idiot than what @pmc here is delivering.
