More like they getting sleepy so they just let the nuts run the nuthouse.
It seems the main result from this meeting is the re establishment of direct military to military communication. Yeah Taiwan does not seem to be a big topic. I have read some analysis the focus would be shifted to Phillipines and SCS though. Things might get hotter there. I believe the red line for china there probably isn't as firm as the one for Taiwan.
I wonder if Marcos Jr. felt awkward talking to Xi today.
Don't worry comrade Musk, China won't cancel you.

Domestic politics rein supreme, Logistically the Philippine can't sustain it and politicaly its damaging for the Marcos regime. You Can't always beat a dead horse and they already achieved their goal to increase the military budget, those illegal war chest (corruption) will be use intensively in the coming election in 2025 to buy votes.

I told you, they already get what they wanted, the illegal money to fund his minions re election bid in 2025. FYI the speaker of the house is his cousin and is eyeing the Presidency in 2028, they're up against Duterte daughter, controlling the purse means obtaining the loyalty of those politician, that's how BBM was bought up learning first hand from his father, the originator of Traditional Politics.
Is his meeting with Xi just a show to make it seem like Philippines is a peace loving country?
Newsom 202X soon.

Anyone who has the least familiarity with "The Art of War" probably knows that armed reunification is absolutely the last resort for China.
Hopefully that's the case, because some of the business elites seem far more sensible than their political counterparts in the US.

US experts are still in denial that China is cutting its treasuries holdings but another $27.3 billion decline in September.
NEW YORK, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Foreign holdings of U.S. Treasuries in September fell to their lowest level since May, data from the Treasury Department showed on Thursday, breaking a three-month streak of gains.
Total holdings of U.S. Treasuries dropped to $7.605 trillion in September, down from $7.707 trillion the previous month. The foreign holdings are up from $7.252 trillion a year earlier.
Japanese investors cut their holdings of U.S. government debt to $1.088 trillion from $1.116 trillion in August, which was the largest since April. Japan remains the largest non-U.S. holder of U.S. government debt.
China's holdings of Treasuries fell further to $778.1 billion, the lowest since 2009.
Treasury yields rose sharply in September on concerns about rising Treasury supply and the Federal Reserve holding interest rates higher for longer as it battles to bring down inflation.
Benchmark 10-year yields ended September at 4.571%, up from 4.114% at the beginning of the month. They are currently at 4.449%, after falling from a 16-year high of 5.021% on Oct. 23. (Reporting by Karen Brettell; Editing by Daniel Wallis and Jonathan Oatis)
