During their meeting on Thursday (May 14) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Xi said he and Trump agreed to make such a relationship the “new positioning” of bilateral ties, according to the Chinese readout.
Centred on cooperation as the mainstay, measured competition, manageable differences and “lasting stability” where peace can be expected, this formulation would guide China-US ties for the next three years and beyond, the Chinese supremo added. CNA
Trump's trip to China is like sabbatical, away from his savage world of wars, destruction and mass murders. It is a good respite from his insane world of killing innocent people, stuck in his insanity devoid of human conscience and compassion. The calm and civilised atmosphere in Beijing, in the Great Hall of the People may bring some senses to lunatic Trump, that the world does not need more wars, killing and destruction. Sitting down together for dinner is better and more rewarding than chest thumping and tearing off the shirt and snarling like gangsters.
Xi, in his quiet and composed manner, is trying to bring some sense to Trump and his savages, telling him that both can compete peacefully without going to war, to self destruct. The message is simple and clear. Trade and free competition without war and destruction will benefit both countries and the world. And it cost nothing, just some small change for good food and good wine. It costs much less than a Tomahawk cruise missile to make 200 people happy and have a good time.
And this was exactly what Trump was doing in China, bringing in his top CEOs, not for war, but for more trade and economic cooperation that would benefit both sides. It would be completely meaningless and a waste of time, if after leaving China, Trump and his clowns would return to their savagery to attack China all over again. It must have dawned on Trump that his trade wars,, tariffs and sanctions, are killing the American economy, hurting the American people, killing his giant corporations, the biggest victim is Nvidia, with the best and most expensive chips but no buyer or not enough buyers because of the silly policy of not wanting to sell to China. Boeing is also gravely affected.
Now Trump is bringing Nvidia, Boeing and more than 15 top American companies to China, to sell to China, to ask China to buy from them. This makes a mockery of all the trade wars, tariffs and sanctions against China. Trump is calling for a reset, back to first base, more trade. And this is also the message that Xi is sending to Trump.
The Americans want to buy and sell to China to profit from trade. China also wants to buy and sell to America to profit from trade. Both parties buy and sell what is beneficial to them, not what they do not want to buy or sell. Free trade is the way to go and both can prosper from trade. It is basic economics 101.
What have the Americans gained from all the trade wars against China and the world? What have the Americans gained from the hot wars in Ukraine and the Middle East? Nothing. War is no longer a profitable business, especially fighting a war that cannot win or a losing war. War is draining away all the resources from real manufacturing of goods and services.
Would Trump learn anything from his trip to Beijing and return to sanity? This trip is a silent admission that his trade war has failed, lost. America now needs China badly to revive its economy and big corporations from going bust.
