  BEIJING, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- President Xi Jinping and Colombian President Petro exchanged congratulatory messages on Feb. 7 to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

  Xi Jinping pointed out that over the past 45 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Colombia, the two sides have always been guided by the principles of equal treatment and mutual respect, and have promoted the continuous development of bilateral relations.2023 In October, President Petro paid a successful state visit to China, and I held fruitful talks with Mr. President, jointly announcing that the two countries had established a strategic partnership, which has ushered the China-Colombia relationship into a new era. Colombia is an important country in Latin America and will take over the presidency of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States this year. I attach great importance to the development of China-Colombia relations, and I am willing to work with Mr. President to promote China-Colombia strategic partnership to go deeper and deeper, and work together to build a community of destiny in China and Latin America.

  Petro said that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Colombia, the development of bilateral relations has achieved fruitful results for the benefit of the two peoples. The two countries have exchanged frequent high-level visits, vigorously promoting cooperation in various fields between the two countries and facilitating people-to-people exchanges between the two sides. Since my inauguration as President, I have paid a state visit to China, and the relationship between the two countries has continued to strengthen, and trade and investment have continued to grow. We are willing to join hands with China to jointly promote global agendas of common interest, such as world peace, energy transition and combating climate change.

If I were the SeeSeePee I’d be very scared in the sense that if Trump can do this shit to his own country, just imagine what he could do to China!
Nah, I think CPC is viewing this similar to how Hong Taiji viewed Li Zicheng's uprising - bemused and with popcorn in hand. Trump's reign could be a lot like Li Zicheng. There are even rumours that Trump/Musk crew have plans to get rid of income tax entirely and replace that income with tariff since income tax is the last progressive tax left. If it happens then that poem originally created for 闯王 would work just fine for Trump:

杀牛羊,备酒浆,开了城门迎懂王,懂王来了不纳粮

Whether it's teamblind, reddit or the news section everywhere I'm seeing people get laid off especially in tech and white collar stuff.

Is it really that bad? Even covid wasn't this bad

It was the money printing, the pandemic cheques, that propelled the US economy. The point there is that once they take that away that stimulus, can the economy continue on its own?

My take is that it is a 50/50 chance.

However, three things against that at the moment.
i) people live paycheque to paycheque, means money is tight.
ii) another trade war, hehe ...
iii) the potential A.I. emergence will give big companies something to think about, as they probably not be hiring, they want to give the machine a chance

Take away the stimulus, the QE and government cheque, then put those headwinds into place, things could slow down.

"Bethany Day" continues. She may need a real job after all these.
The essence of the matter:

"Freedom of press day" continues.
ASPI's purpose was quite obviously intimidation: "if you dare show how things actually are in China, we'll destroy your reputation and brand you as a foreign agent." Which is sadly very effective and has the effect of silencing most people.

And now here they are, publicly begging for US government funding to continue their "independent" work, admitting they can't exist without the very state backing they were baselessly attacking others for.

The projection is almost comical and it confirms that those who scream the loudest about something are often exactly what they claim to be fighting against.
