  1.  @pk7ghalm23  Yes, but the people trying to replace the senile leader (I assume you mean Trump) are just as bad.

  2. “Shout out to all the homies in Shanghai! You gotta chill, bros. Be cool or act like a fool, know what I mean? Who else? Oh, hell no, we got Shenzen in the how-owse! What up, dog! How you illin’? Keep stackin’ those benjamins. Uh, I mean keep stackin’ those Maos, right up to the ceiling. Y’all put your hands in the air for Shenzen! Make some noise!”

  4. He’s quoting “old Chinese sayings”, not so much Mao’s Little Red Book. The speech sounded more like a box of fortune cookies.

  5. In this case, really cheap. He didn’t need to pay a speech writer, he just opened up a box of fortune cookies.

  6. Not to mention the persecution of ethnic and religious minorities.

  9. Nah, Xi is pissed at Putin. Putin wasn’t supposed to invade all of Ukraine. China was counting on Putin to reinforce splits in NATO, especially between the U.S. and the Western European members. Instead, Putin has unified NATO and strengthened the resolve of China’s competitors. It’s caused new attention on Taiwan and China’s threats to Taiwan. The dependence of Europe on Putin’s oil and gas has China’s trading partners examining their dependence on China. This will likely lead to shifting some manufacturing to India, Vietnam, Mexico, and Brazil so as to be less dependent—slowing China’s economic growth. Xi knows full well that the U.S. and it’s European Allies can absorb the costs of helping Ukraine. There is no need to prop up Zelenskyy given the huge support and popularity he has in Ukraine. The only silver lining for Xi and the PRC is that a weak Russia will become a client state, in debt to China if it props up Putin, but China must play this game delicately. It is important to China that it maintains the facade of being above the fray.

  10.  @liangxiong4721  China is a net importer of food. Sorry to burst your bubble. The invasion of Ukraine will touch every nation that participates in the global economy, some worse than others. Maybe China will get off lightly, but it will feel some of the effects.

  11. Please try to untwist your panties. It’s cutting off your brain’s air supply. This is newsworthy, even if Xi’s speech is full of nonsense and “old Chinese sayings”. The leader of one of the biggest countries and biggest economies is laying out his countries official line—we can talk about how that position sounds like a box of fortune cookies, but you’re out of line for blaming Bloomberg for reporting it.

  12. I call him “President Eleven”.
