  • Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in France, kicking off his first trip to the EU since 2019.
    Xi is due to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron today. Later in the week, the Chinese leader will continue on to Serbia and Hungary, two countries that are seen as closer to Beijing. EU leaders are divided over how to deal with China, amid its growing global influence and economic might.

      And China is brother to Russia and Russia is the only real threat to Europe and USA is the only real counterweight option to Russia/China. See how this works? The US was going to have a difficult time getting strong European support in the East and South China Seas before Russia invaded Ukraine. Now even Japan and Korea are sending assistance to Ukraine. It's been made starkly clear to Europe what the sides are now. China can thank Russia for that.

      This isn't the 20th century where the west dictated to the world unchallenged. The balance of power has shifted in the 21st century.

      China doesn't count. It's the CCP and its elites that rule there. The CCP came to power with arms, that is with communist revolution, and never be choosen on democratic elections. It would rather sink the whole world than to step down from the trone.
