Xi's relationship with other leaders, whether warm or cold, can be seen in his body language.

Xi's relationship with other leaders, whether warm or cold, can be seen in his body language.

When Xi meets Putin, Kim or other friendly world leaders, the greeting is frontal warmth and cordiality, facing each other. When Xi meets Trump, apart from the usual handshake, he faces away towards the camera. The message that Xi is sending seems to be - why am I meeting you at all if not for diplomatic reasons. I think most people will do the same, including me.

There is already a hint of the Western media trying to paint the visit to North Korea by Xi as trying to get North Korea back into its orbit knowing that Kim is getting closer to Putin. In other words, trying to split the close relationship between the three - Russia, China and North Korea by throwing doubts. They are trying to bring up the issue that North Korea had sent troops to fight for Russia and therefore making China less important for North Korea.

What do we think will be the consequence if China were also to send troops to fight for Russia? The sky will fall and the dogs will be barking day and night. China is already helping Russia economically, buying the bulk of its energy and opening up trade, which the USA and the West are already unable to swallow.
