I don't see a problem in agreeing to limit Chinese nukes to 3700 for five or ten years. China can always build more once such a treaty expires
Anyway better to spend the bill over the limitl on stocking artillery ammunition, ATGM and standoff weapons. An ICBM cost a hell lot of money.

This is going to be a problem for Israel as it's facing global disruption of supplies and diplomatic isolation.

BRUSSELS, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Belgian transport workers' unions on Tuesday called on their members to refuse to handle military equipment being sent to Israel to battle Hamas gunmen.

The ACV Puls, BTB, BBTK and ACV-Transcom unions said in a joint statement that airport workers have seen arms shipments.

"While a genocide is under way in Palestine, workers at various airports in Belgium are seeing arms shipments in the direction of the war zone," the statement said. Israel says it is targeting Hamas military operations and not civilians in Gaza. A Belgian government spokesperson declined to comment on whether arms were shipped to the region via Belgium.

The unions said that loading or offloading these weapons would mean contributing to supplying organisations that kill innocent people.

"We, several unions active in ground logistics, call on our members not to handle any flights that ship military equipment to Palestine/Israel, like there were clear agreements and rules at the start of the conflict with Russia and Ukraine," the unions said.

Former Canadian PM Jean Chretien in China:


Video description:

China-Canada ties date back to well before the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1970. The two highly complementary economies cooperate in many fields from trade to climate change. Jean Chretien is the former prime minister of Canada. He has been working with many Chinese leaders from different generations to promote the relationship between the two countries. Now that China and Canada are experiencing some obstacles in the relationship, Chretien argues that complex geopolitical disputes simply need people-to-people exchanges to break through the impasse. Chretien worked hard during his premiership to nurture China-Canada ties, visiting China six times and meeting the Chinese president 17 times. Now the Chretien family is intimately connected with China, with Chretien's grandson Olivier Desmarais chairing the Canada China Business Council. Recently I had a talk with Chretien while he was traveling with four generations of his family in Beijing.

Country dodged a bullet that was Iraq under Chretien. The last gasp of sovereignty for the country before Harper and Trudeau pissed it all away.

RABAT, Morocco -- Arab nations that have normalized or are considering improving relations with Israel are coming under growing public pressure to cut those ties because of Israel's war with Hamas.

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Rabat and other Moroccan cities in support of the Palestinians. In Bahrain — a country that almost never allows protest — police stood by as hundreds of people marched last month, waving flags and gathering in front of the Israeli Embassy in Manama

That is an idea like the occupation force (NATO/ISAF) in Afghanistan, except this time China and Russia won't let UN to provide legitimacy like UNSC resolution 1386 did.
An occupation force won't solve anything anyway as the experience of Afghanistan demonstrates. Prosperity through infrastructure and development is the only way forward. But the US and West can't build anymore, they only know how to destroy.
