Trump Eyes a Bigger, Better Trade Deal With China​

U.S. officials are considering whether they can strike a deal with China that would ramp up its purchases of American goods and investments in the United States




I don't know why but I just love it when this China hating Indian American chimps out.

The possibility of a reverse Nixon was always pure fantasy, especially with how much Russia had to integrate with the Chinese economy for the past few years its been isolated from the EU and probably will continue to be so in the future. However, depending on how far this normalization goes, I personally don't think it'll go very far, but if it does come to pass that the US and Russia fully normalize all economic, diplomatic, and cultural relations, then I could definately see a future where Russia will pivot away from its "no-limits partnership" with China and be more open to playing the two powers against eachother. One sticking point nobody can deny is that China has been fully taking advantage of the war to gobble up real estate in Central Asia, real estate Russia will probably want back since it still sees Central Asia as its backyard.

Like I said, everything is predicated on how far the normalization goes, but this is why even if just on principle of being anti-West some here think China should tell the EU to shove it, it is imperative China take advantage of the trans-Atlantic rift to bolster its ties with the bloc. The age of ideaologically based competition is over and the world has fully swung back to the good ol-fashioned 19th Century age of realpolitk and alliances among strange bedfellows. China should thus continue doing what it has always done best and make sure every party has some incentive to continue working with it.

Goes to show too, how even if some were annoyed Chinese foreign policy was always defined by non-aligned mercantalism rather than actually promoting an ideaology, the leadership was really once again ahead of the curve in terms of its diplomatic strategy on the global stage.

A traitor was caught.
If anything, Chinese media must promote the image of a superior Chinese civilisation so “la malinche” types don’t do stupid shit like this. Mind you, a traitor is a traitor and once caught, should donate their bodies to weapons testing and then medical testing afterwards. You can understand why the nine familial executions were a thing for traitors.

China export to Russia peaked at $120b but further increase will depend how Chinese automobiles perform outside warranty. $120b is a rounding error for those who want to create a 21st Century Empire. Scientifically if US and Russia work together they are going to get advanced much further and in process who knows Russia attract US scientist.
Europe will be a big loser when it is already losing Russian decent people. They are in no position to compete with unlimited wealth and hard power of this New empire.

So to clarify. Trump publically humiliates Modi in front of his face by announcing steep tariffs on India, Insults an Indian journalist by telling him he can't understand a word he's saying, then proceeds to conduct the conference using an English-Indian English translator.
