Much of Xi’s efforts are childish 13 year old stuff like please do not leave to date a girl.
It is interesting to watch Xi twist in the winds.
The leadership in the rest of the world sees the ascent of the US manufacturing base. This article shows the reactionary forces in play.
All I can say about the writing in this on Xi and Putin’s relationship in need, the Chinese and Russian public both lack any courage at all. Just one ounce of courage and Xi and Putin would be gone. I get millions might die. That does not make any of the Chinese or Russians any less of a coward. Shame on the whole lot of them.
