This recession is most likely the result of an external factor. For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works.

I'm not gonna meddle in politics here, but he looked genuinely happy while talking to gates.

How many Americans remembered Mr. Xi visited Iowa farmers and stayed overnight in their homes and had breakfast with them when he was a junior county officer?

The distance of meeting Bill Gates is much closer than that of meeting Blinken.

When Xi Jinping says ''old'' friend... he really means it

[deaffeb]

I palce my hopes on the American people (i.e. I hold no hope on American politicians)

I am not a fan of Bill Gates but I want to say that I am glad that somebody could come from the United States to make positive relations with China. I lived in China for a long time no country is perfect but I will tell you the Chinese do their best to lift people out of poverty

Making more friends are far better than making enemies. More friend means more ways, more channels, more business, and more money. Now the world has already suffering a lot from the war and soaring living cost, it’s the time for people to wake up for their own interest rather than follow nasty politicians and their lies

By far meaningful compared to talking with politicians.

He is basically telling the world he is fed up talking with politicians whose careers depend on creating conflicts and unresolved issues in order to have a job in life. Instead he turn his hope onto much more reasonable and rationale American businessmen and hope that his message of being able to work together can get through to America instead. In this world the government and the corporates can move world because a large number of people are tied to their policies or services. You need to get through to the powerful people and let them move and deploy the population in order to get any thing done in this world in life.

Pretty smart. Much better talking with USA businessmen than politicians.

In China, we call people who come to you with friendly intentions “friends”, this is not the narrow definition of “besties”. Judge only if you understand the cultural connotations of the country.

How friendly and happy they appear for public meetings…. Like being best friends.

[edena]

Why when he say "You are the first American guy I meet this year", why it's not subtitled ?

[sf]

i am excited to see them both being excited to see each other...

[Fed_Medved]

Usually Xi has an artificial smile, but here you can see that he smiles sincerely😊

[nugcgtk]

That makes sense. The Balloon China sent to America was probably a friendship letter to Bill Gates. 😂

[RayMak]

May all of us be kind and respectful to each other…

[awesomepanda]

Bill Gates got the opportunity to meet President Xi but not Sleepy Joe or Blinken...
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Truly a big SLAP to their faces!

[lukygirl]

It's better to get along then to be enemies

These famous US business leaders have a common characteristic, i.e., they have investments in China, they know well about the Chinese market, they are much rational than those politicians in Washington. DC.
