Another evidence that western politicians have absolutely no belief, faith and purpose for humanity except self serving power. To get votes for that power they do everything including selling their soul or mother.
Wtf is that headline... never thought I'd read those 4 words in a row on CNN
Marco Rubio is introducing a legislation that could potentially impact Chinese ability to bypass U.S. high tariffs by essentially placing them the same tariffs on countries like Mexico where Chinese goods have been made.
The King of Malaysia visits China, meeting with both Xi Jinping and Li Qiang. This is unusual for Malaysia because the monarchy rarely gets involved in foreign policy. And even if they do, its most likely for meetings with other monarchs, or with the Islamic world. So for the current king to visit China means that there is something special going on. This king has his own colourful history in Malaysian politics, but that is a story for another time.
It appears that one of the main agenda of the visit is to revive the Malaysia-Singapore HSR project which the former PM, Dr Mahathir torpedoed in 2018, in was one of the most idiotic move by any Malaysian PM. Because Malaysia had to pay Singapore around $75mil in compensation, and it destroyed real estate opportunities and prices along the planned route. And after all that, they want to revive the project. It makes the nation look like a clown. Hopefully this time, Malaysia can get serious with the HSR project.
The King of Malaysia is also a powerful figure in the military. He is the de jure commander in chief, but his command is usually delegated to the ministers. Maybe he could do some arms shopping if he has the time. Things are getting old in his military, and his navy had already lost a missile boat.
