From the lack of announcements, it looks like the Xi-Modi meeting didn't happen.
MBS was invited to the summit, why he didn't show up is the question.

I was wrong, I made sympathetic statements about majority of people mourning may have just been royal fans but it seems that the hong kong population is just really brainwashed. Many of these people they interviewed in this article works in education! Hong Kongers never had a chanced, no wonder the society is cucked.
One thing I will have to point out is that the digital yuan apply centralized blockchain technology instead of the decentralized blockchain that cryptocurrency applies, as the blockchain consists of growing lists from a record or queue where every node on this record/queue is interlinked via very secure encryption, and each node contains a hash value of the previous one and some other important properties which make spoofing this entire process almost impossible, and a centralized version just means, unlike bitcoins, every penny spent can be traced, and unlike the current WeChat pay or Alipay, digital yuan can be viewed as real paper tokens that are stored in your phone, and due to blockchain's unique feature you can even make payment without internet connection via NFC, for average Chinese citizen digital yuan is more convenient than Alipay, more secure, and in the grand scheme of things, well, many implementations can be applied to suit the national strategy.
I'm sorry but this whole line of argument in the thread is becoming strange.
1. (someone mentioned this point) Nestorian Church of the East is not extinct. It still exists in Iraq, Syria and has small groups in India. They will find it very funny if someone thinks they are Westernised
2. Religious politics are very diverse, it doesn't ever work out the way the original proponent developed it. The Russians and Ukrainians had the same Rus Orthodox Church, with the same religious leaders, for 1000 years, but did it help to keep them together? In Syria, the local Christians overwhelmingly backed Assad, and the US chose to back the Sunni terrorists. In Bosnia and Kosovo they also backed Muslims in war against Orthodox serbs and to a smaller degree Catholic Croats. In Latin America, a very large number of Catholic bishops and priests follow in whole or in part Liberation Theology, which is based on Marxism, and strongly support the socialist revolution movements. The Vatican can't stop them, the right wing military governments couldn't crush them. That's why in Latin America, the majority of Neoliberal supporters like Bolsonaro's followers are Protestant, not Catholic. Meanwhile in Eastern Europe, the Vatican practiced Ostpolitik, to accomodate to Soviet conditions about clerics. Then what happens? the Archbishop in Poland Karol Wojtyla went to defy the Pope and continue ordaining priests, eventually work with the CIA, and then he got elected as Pope John Paul II - and purely by accident because his predecessor suddenly died after being elected. Christianity in SK, Taiwan and HK are pro American because ALL the educational institutions (religious or not) in those places were subsidised by the US for decades. But the current Pope blamed NATO for provoking the Ukraine War.
The US regime has learnt to exploit diversity while no one else has (or wants to) develop these techniques, and that is part of why they are so dangerous.
3. (somebody else mentioned) Why would christianity be any more foreign than the "Arab religion" Islam, or the "Indian religion" Buddhism? China even had a form of Confucianised Christianity under Matteo Ricci in the 1600s in the Ming dynasty, before the Chinese Rites Controversy. There are a lot of options to redirect people's interests and hobbies, without pushing them into rebellion!

Jesus was Middle Eastern not European and Buddha was Nepalese not Chinese. The power of religion is that unites people not out of inherent characteristics but by choice to believe. That’s the limitations of China because the Chinese dream is only applicable to China and not to the rest of the world. I’m not saying China needs to become religious but it needs a vision to unite the world behind it. Maybe it should try a secular plan such as achieving moon colonization or ending global warming or achieving type I civilization.
What was known as the Nestorianism in China has been extinct for several centuries. It also went extinct in India too. All Christians in India today date from the British colonial period, despite what they claim.
Good point. It is very similar to Islam spreading in China (at least the Al-Qaeda form). China has spend the last 20 years countering radical Islam, why should Christianity be treated any differently? Second Islam isn't an organised religion like Christianity. Mosques follow state mandated policy. Churches won't, they'll forever be subservient to the parent church which is based in Europe or America.
Moreover China doesn't have any Islamic nations as enemies. Saudi Arabia, the homeland of Islam has very good relations with China. It does have "christian" nations as enemies Again, I refer to the example of South Korea, or more specifically South Vietnam for how the west uses Christianity to undermine nations.
Buddhism isn't Indian, that is a misconception. It is Nepalese/Tibetan and it's history is intertwinned with territories under the control of China. Not the same.
I'm not against individuals practicing whatever they wish to believe, but there should certainly be restrictions against any non government organised form. No foreign funded churches, and absolutely no foreign missionaries. And that's coming someone who was raised in the Anglican tradition.
your reply is to answer in which i explained why he will not show up for such meeting.
