Anyone feel this Wang Yi is rather charismatic ? His mandarin usage is rather eloquent and poetry-like.
You are only looking at this from our perspective, that’s not how a large part the world is looking at this... otherwise their narrative wouldn’t have the traction it has and things like “China lied, people died” wouldn’t be the prevailing narrative.Nobody cares about Pompeo as he has no credibility. Except for Sky News, they need to hear the same lies again to keep on believing.

I agree with you that all this reaffirm China position in creating its own social media ecosystem, tho I don’t think it was entirely clear-mindedness of the leadership, considering they made clear attempts to bring google and Facebook into the fold... but google and Facebook rejected.That shows how much clout western media has at shaping the opinions and perspective of the world population. And also reaffirm that China is RIGHT to create their own social media ecosystem. That shows how clear-minded the Chinese leadership is.

This is good, but sadly I think the the EU's weariness of China has increased. Remember that Germany was also the first in Europe to make it illegal for Chinese companies to buy European companies for a year. I think the EU recognises that they need China for their economy, but may start to diversify (not decouple) with other Asian countries. China needs to find a way to prevent the EU from leaning toward the US. A good start would be to provide a surprisingly good deal in their upcoming trade meeting. Maybe in exchange for the Dutch letting ASML sell their equipment?Well well. It looks like Germany is pivoting to China, and take the rest of Europe with her. That leaves Trump and the other 4 eyes In the brown stuff!
Merkel is smart. The global pivot to China has begun and is unstoppable. "Chancellor Angela Merkel said the European Union has a “great strategic interest” in maintaining cooperation with China in the face of a widening list of grievances with the government in Beijing. In a speech in Berlin late Wednesday, the German leader said the 27-member bloc’s relationship with China will be a top priority when her government takes over the six-month rotating EU presidency on July 1. ... The German chancellor reiterated her aim to complete an investment accord with China, as well as finding common ground in fighting climate change and global health challenges."
