Trump says he 'made no commitment either way' on Taiwan at China talks

Trump said Xi Jinping had asked directly if the US would defend Taiwan, and he had responded, "I don't talk about that".

What did I tell you guys… Now watch how #Xi plays #tRump in a way that will make #Putin green with envy.

“The summit produced no breakthrough trade deal, no joint statement, no big announcement on Taiwan. And yet what it delivered may turn out to be more consequential than any of those things. The public outline of a new global order.

One in which the US and China are not enemies, not rivals, and not partners in the warm Western sense. They are something newer and harder to name.”

In fact, I predict that with #Xi ‘s move, #Putin will be sidelined and ousted (or killed) from power in that near to medium term.

Is the US-China rivalry over?

This week in Beijing, Donald Trump and Xi Jinping quietly admitted something the world has been slow to grasp: neither can afford a collision between their two countries.

"How did the #Xi- Trump summit in Beijing go?"

"You want the honest answer? #China played #Trump like a fiddle.

Trump was a transactional politician v. a strategic politician in Xi. China grabbed the narrative"

Unbelievable. If they’d just sent some random person off the street to China—he couldn’t have handled it any worse. Trump is getting completely taken for a ride and doesn’t even realize it. And he’s explicitly handing Taiwan over to the Chinese. It’s hard to believe that no one stepped in at any point. The whole thing is madness even from a Republican perspective; he brushes off the Chinese industrial espionage by saying that everyone would do the same.

Guess what? #Xi is cut from the same cloth as #Putin (albeit with a distinct #Chinese perspective, of course). And just as Putin does very well, Xi will *play* #tRump to suit himself. And we all know that #MadKingDonny can’t keep his mouth shut when to comes to ingratiating himself with *Dictators* or brag about himself to compensate for his grade school intellect.

What Donald Trump Got Wrong On China Trip

Leonid Brezhnev, the leader of the Soviet Union for 18 years, died on November 10, 1982, at age 75.  Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was asked that evening how the personal relationships between Washington and Moscow would fare following the death. He made it clear that personal relationships were not the guiding force of international relations. A nation's interests and needs were the drivers of foreign policy and diplomatic missions. As I watched the fawning, embarrassing displays by […]

#Trump gushed over the President of the People's Republic of China as though #Xi was a Miss Teen USA contestant in a dressing room who happened to smell like a Big Mac.

Watching this traitorous fuck agreeing with Xi that America is "in decline" was nauseating.
