By looking at the past trade balances between China and the other countries, China will not seek economic decoupling with anyone.
However, it will be disastrous for the others to decouple from China.

Consistent messaging by every Chinese official that it is the US who needs to self correct its negative rhetoric and actions towards China.

Blinken was given a 7 hour dressing down by his Chinese counterpart. The meeting with Xi lasted all of 15 minutes with Xi at the head of the table

The Picts & Body Language says it all … 😂

I like how the translator literally just dubs in real time the greetings using a script, without even have to have both men say anything or move their mouths. Imagine the whole meeting goes by with just the translator dubbing each talking point and everyone just listens for two hours 😂

Blinken's Body Language tells it all ... 😂

*China🇨🇳 have border disputes with Taiwan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, India, Bhutan, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei.*
make border agreement & keep Peace

I love how Xi Jinping is saying " Just keep your word, like we agreed". While Blinken is just blabbing nonesense, we both know who isn't keeping their word.

interesting sitting arrangement... Blinken feels like he is going to HONGMENYAN...

[ttkoh]

Blinken looks genuine enough. I think he should run for the next Presidency.

Blinken arrives to pay tribute to China.

Tony Blinken’s father in law was Robert Maxwell’s lawyer & closest confidant. Tony likes to try to score some points when talking about his ancestors escaping Nazi captivity during WW2, & yet he somehow always manages to forget the part about how they were liberated by Russians 😂 maybe fat Vicky told him not to mention that part ?

[mr.p]

Blinkin begging for more soup. I'm sure he checked his ankle diameter too.

[JJesus-qwxo]

19-6-2023 UAE, Qatar reciprocally reopen embassies as years of tension ease
Peace able to arrive Middle East, ONLY after U$A departure.
People in the Middle East have woken up, when will Europeans wake up?
Nearly 80% of the locals believe that the United States is the biggest "source of chaos" in the Middle East. Decoupling the Middle East from the United States is not only a possibility, is even more inevitable.

Jerry's take on China: (Blinken gets his just rewards).
"...Is Blinken a forked tongue snake, or is he a contrite penitent - time will tell but here's what happened in Beijing and my take on it..."
Was uninvited Blinken rewarded with a meeting with Xi after he passed the assessment of his meetings with Qin Kang, and then Wang Yi, as stated by this video?

[brandyheng]

Meeting a waste of time....just continue to dollar dump

[avatarairbinder]
