    I hate this whole obsession of single individuals representing the whole country. Like im sure there are alot of people that can work out the trade agreement and it doesnt have to be some mafia style my boss talks to your boss. I think Trump is just mob-brained

      western media cannot delve into the material basis for geopolitics, or acknowledge the democratic legitimacy of enemy leadership. so everything has to be reduced to psychological analysis of the “dictator” who personally controls everyone in their country through intimidation

      I mean, to be fair, the tariffs were done by executive order so the whole trade agreement is sort of hinged on him. It makes sense that China would send Xi to talk him down rather than just direct him to the ministry of finance or something.

      Correct and China is as much to blame for this shit though, that disastrous piece of garbage idea for Xi to meet Biden in SF barely one month into the genocide?

      The CPC enjoys the idea Xi can have the soft peaceful discourse and being the “good” face of modern China just as much as the racist westerners enjoy making Xi caricatures of dictatorship etc.

      Nah, China required Trump to do this because America has backed out of everything they agreed to on Trump’s say so. You can’t trust his talented subordinates when he consistently overrides them
