China must use this opportunity to push the US harder. There must be no reconciliation. Let them fight a three-front war."President Joe Biden, beset by conflicts around the world, is seeking to steady his fraught relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping so the White House can instead focus its energy on Israel, Ukraine and the upcoming reelection campaign, according to three senior administration officials."
The US is just a corporate-military dictatorship, its presidents have very few powers beyond public rhetoric in the regime's press. Trump was the first to oppose the corporate-military junta by making peace with Russia after the annexation of Crimea and with North Korea after the nukes. Just because of this destabilization of the regime Trump is hated in the press and in the corporate military environment, and propably will be assassinated in the future if he causes sufficient damage to power of the junta.Better to deal with Biden now than Trump later I suppose. Trump's agenda is pretty wild:
Some highlights:
"Trump says he will institute a system of tariffs of perhaps 10% on most foreign goods. Penalties would increase if trade partners manipulate their currencies or engage in other unfair trading practices.
He will urge that Congress pass a “Trump Reciprocal Trade Act," giving the president authority to impose a reciprocal tariff on any country that imposes one on the U.S.
Much of the agenda focuses on China. Trump has proposed a four-year plan to phase out Chinese imports of essential goods, including electronics, steel and pharmaceuticals. He wants to ban Chinese companies from owning vital U.S. infrastructure in sectors such as energy, technology and agriculture, and says he will force Chinese owners to sell any holdings “that jeopardize America’s national security.”
Trump claims that even before he is inaugurated, he will have settled the war between Russia and Ukraine. That includes, he says, ending the “endless flow of American treasure to Ukraine” and asking European allies to reimburse the U.S. for the cost of rebuilding stockpiles.
It is unclear whether he would insist that Russia withdraw from territory in Ukraine it seized in the war that it launched in February 2022.
Trump has said he will stand with Israel in its war with Hamas and support Israel's efforts to “destroy” the militant group. He says he will continue to “fundamentally reevaluate” NATO’s purpose and mission."
President Xi started his SF inspection tour.
I should have known Japan is 99% willing to go down with the sinking ship. Their political elites dun care about the ordinary Japanese people at all. They are vehemently anti china and serve the anglo establishment.
The Chinese leadership will continue to do the cool headed and patient thing rather than the hot headed and impulsive thing, just like they have been doing for two generations at this point. How many times do expectations of hardball foreign policy need to be subverted for you to understand this.China must use this opportunity to push the US harder. There must be no reconciliation.

Due to the fact that presidential plane ordered by Jiang decades ago was bugged, China doesn't have a dedicated presidential transport aircraft. For this plane and another one, it used to be a dedicated commercial flight that would be used for trips outside of China when needed. However, due to the frequency of trips and security reasons, it has more or less officially been used for traveling and don't have any commercial use anymore.
