The sofa cushion was clearly custom made to make Xi’s seat noticeably higher than Trump’s, even though Trump is 4 inches taller.

I knew the narrative warfare against Taiwan would be ramping up. Expect to hear more of this. It will boil down to “the US should abandon Taiwan.” It takes years and about $20 billion dollars to make a semiconductor fab. So even if you—mistakenly—think the only value of Taiwan

How the Chinese Became the Most Unhappy People in the World

Rare earths is out for China, energy and human rights are in for the U.S. @LeeSmithDC, bestselling author of "The China Matrix" unpacks for @ChinaInFocusNTD how the leverage has changed ahead of the Trump-Xi summit. "Right now, the positions are very different, since Donald Trump now has a hand on lots of the oil that Beijing was getting at very steep discounts. So right now, Donald Trump controls a lot of China's energy, and that's that that makes things very different. Xi no longer has the the the amount of leverage that he had," Smith tells me. Human Rights "Presidents have shied away from human rights in China since at least Tiananmen Square. This is something that presidents have not only shied away from, but they've essentially covered up for... So when President Trump says he's going to make some noise over human rights, I think this is a very big deal, and I think it marks a significant change from his his predecessors," Smith said. Taiwan "The way I believe that President Trump sees Taiwan, and I think the appropriate way to see Taiwan is as a function of a much larger problem. Taiwan is obviously strategically crucial for the United States, right and for Western civilization, the entire first island chain. If China makes a run on the first island chain makes a run on Taiwan, that's a big problem." Elite Capture "But the reason that China's military is such a threat, the reason the People's Liberation Army is so big and so powerful, as Donald Trump has said many times before is because the United States has made China Rich...So this is why the tariff regime, this is why the trade war has been so important to President Trump, to eliminate that trade deficit, or at least in the mean, at least until it's eliminated, cut it down seriously, and to take money that the People's Republic of China has been used to investing, investing in different instruments to defeat the United States, to take that money away from them," Smith noted. Venezuela, Panama, Iran "The biggest thing right now is we're seeing that Donald Trump has been rolling up Beijing's allies around the world, Iran, Madura and Venezuela... That's the big difference right now, the amount of leverage that Donald Trump has over Xi Jinping and that he has over the Chinese Communist Party, and that is because he has his boot on Iran's throat, that's a very big deal," Smith said.

Trump warned Iran to "get smart soon" and sign a nuclear deal after days of deadlock. In a Truth Social post, he said Iran "can’t get their act together," alongside an image of him with a rifle and the message: "NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!"

I was born and raised in China and lived there for over 20 years. China is a communist totalitarian state under the absolute control of one man — first Mao Zedong, then Deng Xiaoping and his successors, and now Xi Jinping. There is no real freedom — not in speech, not in thought, not in daily life. The majority of Chinese people support the government because they have been fed a nonstop diet of lies and propaganda since the age of three. They defend the CCP with absolute certainty, never questioning, never challenging — they simply swallow the official narrative and memorize it. That is why China produces so few genuine inventions of its own and instead relies on stealing technology from the United States and the West. Under this system, ordinary Chinese people have neither the freedom nor the ability to think independently. Everything glamorous you see about China — the glittering cities, the high-speed trains, the perfectly staged spectacles — is carefully fabricated propaganda for foreign consumption. Behind that facade lies the real China: the everyday lives of ordinary people, especially those in the countryside and villages, which most Westerners cannot even begin to imagine. The poverty, the surveillance, the fear, the grinding control — that is the truth the CCP desperately hides from the world. This is not exaggeration. This is lived experience. The Western world needs to stop believing the China regime’s lies. China is the biggest external enemy to the West. China sends spies to the West to corrupt your politicians such as Democratic Party and Labor Party and to cause turmoils and chaos from within.
