BEIJING, April 8 (Xinhua) -- At the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Qiang, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will visit China from April 10 to 11, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson announced here Tuesday.

Noting this is Sanchez's third visit to China in three years, spokesperson Lin Jian told a daily press briefing that during his visit, Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet with Sanchez, and Chinese Premier Li Qiang will hold talks with Sanchez.

Spain is an important partner of China in the European Union (EU), Lin said, adding that the two countries uphold the spirit of mutual respect, mutual trust, and mutual benefit when developing bilateral relations, and that China-Spain relations are at the forefront of China's relations with European countries.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the China-Spain comprehensive strategic partnership. Lin said that it is hoped that the two sides, taking this visit as an opportunity, will deepen strategic mutual trust, expand opening-up and cooperation, join hands to meet global challenges and push for greater development of bilateral relations.

Why would the Taliban give Bagram to the US military but the rumored C-17 flight is interesting.

He's there to meet the Taliban. When you don't have diplomatic relations, intelligence agencies handle the diplomatic work.

He is literally after extorting money. I am telling it, unless the US Congress steps in, or China blinks for some reason, normal relations with the USA are over for most countries. This behavior will have a lot of political consequences.

Better yet large manila envelopes full of USD cash marked for "Fire Protection Services" addressed to "The Donald" as a form of tribute/gifts/insurance/fees for just being able to exist in the same planet as the "Orange Emperor of Everything"Divine Right of Kings et al.

I really hope that Trump go forward with taking Greenland and abandon Ukraine to its inevitable demise in the hands of the Russians.
I want to look in the clownish faces of the people of this paleolithic useless cold war relic alliance if that happens.

He has seen nothing yet. If China's export to the West is reduced, the production capacities can be used to produce weapons. I think Russia may need some.

LOL That's what I was thinking. Chinese shipbuilders should be like, "Man Trump is a real tough opponent. Totally cratered our orders and it was so hard to survive... until the PLAN offered to buy out our full capacity basically at cost to keep us afloat so now we build about a dozen 055A and 2 dozen 052D for them every year at this shipyard. Yeah we're a small yard but we work hard."

Don't post obvious fake news.
There is no such outlet as "Globe Eye News"
They don't even have a website

The tariff on all countries are just smoke and mirror. The goal is directed towards China.

Why Vietnam got 40% tariff? It is because Vietnam allows China to redirect imports into US. Both Vietnam and China made money from that.

Right now, US is trying to remove completely China from any trade while trade with others.

Well if it a ‘News’ channel that doesn’t really exist then it’s probably Indian in origin. Some time ago, I think it was the EU identified 200+ news/propaganda channels/outlets claiming to be ‘News’ originating from India.

Totally cratered our orders and it was so hard to survive... until the PLAN offered to buy out our full capacity so now we build about a dozen 055's and 2 dozen 052D for them every year at this shipyard. Yeah we're a small yard but we work hard."

America:

Make gunboat diplomacy great again.

Normalize driving down gunboats to plunder any country that aids or acts friendly with US, until US pays compensation on top of owed debt.

With an already crashing smaller (much smaller even, if we look at consumption rather than notoriously unreliable gdp) economy and 300x less shipbuilding capacity, US can't pay third party nations nor give them enough weapons to stop China from parking ships and planes outside and free dropping bombs until they give EVERYTHING they have to China in US' stead. That needs to be the deal! Help China collect from US, or you'll be collected in place of US.

Trump could just go straight to ending all relations with China. But he won't do that because Americans will find out how little they control in the world. This way Americans can still be fooled that the US is adding more damage to China by keeping raising up the tariffs. Trump claimed China was going to collapse day one of his trade war during his first term. Continuously raising the tariff he can hide behind the illusion that he can still inflict more damage on China.

It is interesting where before there was no room to question the US system of governance. Even though still a small minority, amazing how anyone could even dare say anything was better than US democratic capitalism. The only difference between the US stereotype of China and the US is religion. Forcing Christianity is that undemocratic unelected element the West uses to keep their power and to control others. The US demands developing nations to embrace democracy and to also allow freedom of religion which really only means freedom of Christianity in all countries.

US tariffs on the world is a front to extract other things from the world. The US wants to order the world not to do trade with China. That's the only way they know how to eliminate China as their main competitor and then control China itself. The only way the US can have a chance is they basically have to have the money to buy other countries' allegiance to them. But Trumps tariff's around world is all about regaining control of the world economy meaning they don't have control over the resources to get the world to choose them.
