China may not be the good guys; but at least they’re not volatile or petulant. They also don’t have rabies unlike the oval office kennel.

Europe and China will grow closer as Moscow and Washington buddy up.
Canada is actually ahead of the curve on this. They signed a major strategic pact with China this week.

Yep, the Chinese are defending Europe against the USA. The world seems to be upside down, folks. And to think that the entire European game plan is to worry against Russia.
The most dangerous enemy is the one within.
That’s what Europe is facing right now.

The irony of the fear mongering that China is gonna spy on everyone and know your data
Yes because Zuckerberg, Musk, Tim Apple, Google etc would NEVER share any of that with the government
And it’s not like these people have items in every single person on this websites home and most of the time on your person where youve given them all permission to access your data, phone calls, camera and microphone whenever they please
What’s that you say, they all attended the inauguration together and brought offerings at that….

Chinese are probably deeply confused but smart enough not to disturb an enemy when they are making a mistake. Putin of course owns the clown even if he doesn’t know it.
China is playing the smart game, which relative to Trump isn’t particularly hard, and are going to make an absolute killing out of this.
Its taken just one utterly insane Caligula to destroy US dominance, maybe forever – seeing history play out like this is really disturbing. I’ve realised I much prefer reading history books than seeing it.

Don’t use China as pretext for seeking ‘selfish gains,’ foreign ministry says
BEIJING — China’s foreign ministry on Monday took aim at U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose sanctions on European countries that oppose his ambition to control Greenland.
“The international law underpinned by the purposes and principles of the United Nations charter is the foundation of the current international order and must be upheld,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Guo Jiakun told a news conference.
“We urge the U.S. to stop using the so-called China threat as a pretext for itself to seek selfish gains,” Guo added.
Trump has repeatedly said that the U.S. needs Greenland because China and Russia want the resource-rich arctic island for themselves.
In an escalation of his rhetoric, Trump on Saturday said he would impose a 10% tariff on goods from eight European countries — Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands and Finland — until they agree to support to his talk of buying Greenland, a self-governing Danish island.
“World Peace is at stake!” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it.”
Last week, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told reporters in Washington that Trump’s assertions that the world’s largest island is “surrounded” by Russian and Chinese ships is factually inaccurate.
“It is not a true narrative that we have Chinese warships all around the place,” Lokke Rasmussen said. “According to our intelligence, we haven’t had a Chinese warship in Greenland for a decade or so.”

With the exception of Putin, Kim, Erdergon , etc., Trump is making allies between China, Canada, etc. in billions in mutual trading throughout the world. America will suffer economically for years. MAGA wing nuts will continue to blame Biden.

EU holds 8 trilllion in US bonds. They are the ones paying their fair share to prop up the US debt machine. You can only posture so much until the rug is pulled from under you.

China and Europe have no geopolitical conflicts; in fact, they are natural allies against Russian and American aggression. If there is a US-EU divorce, China and Europe, connected through Belt and Road would be by far the largest and most influential economic bloc; with the markets and IP of Europe and the production of China. China and the EU also have a natural interest in partitioning Russia.
The EU has been very complacent in the American world system, and has some insane ultraliberal tendencies that leads them to get overly involved in Chinese conflicts like Hong Kong and Xinjiang for political reasons with no clear national/material benefit.

As a Canadian, China represents very little threat to me, unlike the US.
So the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
But China also is a huge global risk, in that if they take over Taiwan, that is literally every computer manufacturing and…uhhh…not good.
So the enemy of my enemy is a threat to the world stage.

China’s game is actually simple and straightforward- do whatever crazy shit you wanna do just don’t disturb international trade. Interesting to see China become the new anchor for free trade. USD dominance is also being destroyed very quickly.

I looked over at the Fox News comments section, and Trump has even lost those guys. I’m not exaggerating when I say that every single comment I came across was blasting Trump for these threats. Many were even in favor of impeachment.
It’s gonna be a bloodbath this midterm, I think.
