The USA had been trying to create mistrust between Russia and China, to pry them apart. So far, that has not succeeded. Likewise, I do not believe Chinese and Iranian leaders are that stupid to fall for the same propaganda by the USA to pry them apart. Both China and Iran are ancient civilizations with long history going back thousands of years and do not succumb easily to the tricks of upstarts that have tried to break up their country. Many have tried, many times, but have failed and history is there to provide the evidence.
Of course, there are smaller countries that do fall into the divide and rule mantra of the USA. Philippines is one perfect example, and India is caught in similar situation. But others like Malaysia and Indonesia are more pragmatic and being Muslim countries, like Iran, will never be able to fall in line with the likes of the USA and the West, so long as they have good leaders in charge.
Therefore, whatever the situation is between Trump and Xi, it is unlikely to change the geopolitical landscape and political ideology, whether they talk to each other or not. But as I say, relations among countries are never always smooth sailing. It is up to leaders to know how to navigate the waters, choppy or smooth it may be.

Well politicians are all hypocrite, they will talk/do anything as long as it protect their own interest. Most people know that pinoy Marcos money are in the hand of uncle sam, so he had to do uncle bidding. Another example is our laulan Wong, he go to India/China/Japan and talk nice thing about these country, and never dare to condemn uncle sam and nutyahoo for their terrorist act. The leader of the big country know very well how all this small country leader will behave when they see them. So you see, everyone is just playing along.
ReplyDeleteThomas Paine said 'Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil, in its worst state, an intolerable one'. That says a lot about politicians making up any Government.
