I wrap up wondering whether everything will be clearer 'TOMORROW' @HKnumberplates 22/22

Arriving in HK from flaneuring in Istanbul, I have to visit Mongkok's The Ale Project (TAP) for local beer and salted duck egg yolk fries. I've fond memories of TAP; they also cohosted HK's first ever cider festival that I helped set up in 2019. 1/ x.com/i/status/20536…

🚨 ¡BOMBAZO QUE DUELE! 😳 Trump miró a Xi Jinping con ojos casi suplicantes y soltó esto que dejó la sala en completo silencio… como si estuviera rogando: «Traje conmigo a los 30 líderes empresariales más poderosos del mundo… y todos aceptaron venir. No mandé al segundo de a bordo ni al vicepresidente… Quería al número uno de cada imperio: Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Elon Musk… los mejores del planeta están aquí, justo delante de ti…» Luego, con voz casi temblorosa y esa sonrisa forzada, remató casi rogando: «Hoy están aquí para rendirle respeto a ti y a China… Vienen con ganas de hacer negocios, invertir y construir. De nuestra parte… te pido que sea 100% recíproco… por favor.» Esto no es dominio. Esto es un presidente rogando por un sí de China. 💼🇨🇳 ¿Viste eso? El “art of the deal” convertido en súplica en vivo. RT si estás viendo cómo cae el mito.

Forget the recent negative spin on China in the Western press. Measured by GDP per capita, adjusted for purchasing power parity, China has left the U.S. in the dust since 2008.

@zapatas_mom People in HK actually heads to SZ to eat KFC because it is really awesome!

I accept that Burger King tastes better in China. I accept that Mcdonalds tastes better in China... BUT WHY THE FUCK does Taco Bell taste better in China too? this shit sucks here now, omg!

They told the whole world to avoid China. Decouple. De-risk. Sanctions. Tariffs. War rhetoric. Then 12 US capitalists flew to Beijing to beg the Communist Party for deals. Elon Musk. Top CEOs. Trump himself. All in China. Smiling. Shaking hands. Asking for business. The same politicians who call China an "evil empire" are now standing in Beijing with their hands out. Told Africa to stay away from China. Told Europe to cut ties. Told everyone China is a threat. But when their economy is burning, when their factories are shutting, when their own system is failing, where do they run? Beijing. They do not believe their own lies. They just want you to. Hypocrisy has no borders. But neither does desperation.

@MsMelChen Banana toeing her white daddy line

Everyone who is up in arms about Trump "kissing Xi's ass" needs to understand that this is realpolitik and dealmaking. Trump is, by a mile, the most aggressive president America has had against the CCP in modern history. No one else imposed sweeping tariffs on Chinese goods, banned Huawei from domestic networks, put the entire CCP military-linked ecosystem on the entity list, restricted semiconductor exports, strengthened the Quad, and publicly called out China's currency manipulation, IP theft, forced tech transfers, and South China Sea aggression the way he did. Pre-presidency Trump was blunt. If you recall, as a candidate, he often complained about how "China was screwing us over." Literally in 2016 on the campaign trail, he said that "China is raping us." You need to understand that this posture completely shattered what was bipartisan elite consensus at the time - which was that more engagement with China on economic terms would liberalize and democratize China (ethnocentric projection once again), and that as China became more integrated into the global system, they would act more and more like responsible stakeholders. Every President since Nixon pushed closer economic integration while ignoring the OBVIOUS signs. This was especially supercharged under Bush, Clinton and Obama (but not Biden). And yet at the time, the mainstream media painted him as a xenophobe for this kind of rhetoric. It wasn't even a subtext - they directly alluded to how Trump was being racist against the Chinese for calling out their unfair trade practices. Once in office, Trump refined it into a strategy that actually moved the needle while dialing back his strong rhetoric. The personal flattery - calling Xi a "great leader," talking up respect for China, saying they'll have a "fantastic future together," is all Machiavellian Art of the Deal stuff. Flattery costs nothing and makes the other guy more willing to give ground without looking like he's folding domestically. The CCP's entire system is built on the leader's prestige. Publicly humiliating Xi or treating him like a subordinate would make him dig in, rally nationalists, and push him to retaliate harder just to save face. I don't actually think Trump knows about Chinese "honor culture" and the obsession with mianzi (face), but for whatever reason, Trump instinctively understands authoritarian psychology and how to work with it. The problem is that intellectual types, especially those steeped in liberal internationalist frameworks, tend to struggle with parsing the difference between rhetoric vs. revealed preferences. They're hard-wired to overweight the former. They treat diplomatic language as a window into the soul, as if it maps directly onto intent rather than as front-facing tool of statecraft. China weaponizes this brilliantly. It's a lesson everyone should've learned by now. With Trump, ignore the optics and ignore what he says. Just look at his actions, and look at his results.

@EricLDaugh Eric, you not embarrassed that you reamed trump’s ass everyday? Your post are embarrassingly cringed. Have some self respect will ya?

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Chinese President Xi has agreed to the following wins for President Trump 1. On Iran, give the US "ANYTHING TRUMP NEEDS" 2. Buy more soybeans 3. Buy more USA oil 4. Buy more LNG 5. Buy 200 Boeing jets 47 NEVER stops fighting for us abroad 🇺🇸🇨🇳

@Iam_Polycarp @GuntherEagleman ☝️🤡

@GuntherEagleman I have ZERO respect for the Chinese people for sitting down and allowing this to happen to them. As far as their economic lives are ok, they care less about their rights and God-given free will. They would rather have comfortable lives and be controlled than freedom

Bret Baier is getting a firsthand look at China’s terrifying surveillance state, the Chinese Communists just TICKETED the Fox News crew using their massive network of cameras all over Beijing! Bret revealed: “There are literally cameras everywhere… they see everything… our driver parked illegally for 2 MINUTES and got a ticket for $40!” “They saw it on the camera,” he added. This is what total government control looks like. Welcome to Communist China in 2026.

@MarkFra42642062 @Defence_Index I trained with the RAF 16th regiment in the mid 80s and spend time in the outer Hebrides. What I know are mostly air defence weapons with the UK and US. Things have changed rapidly in recent years and many countries are too slow to respond

@wsim @Defence_Index If you say so.

🔴🇬🇧 UK ARTILLERY UPGRADE: 72 RCH 155 HOWITZERS ORDERED The UK Royal Artillery is set to receive 72 RCH 155 self propelled howitzers in a nearly £1 billion deal, marking a major boost to Britain’s long range firepower. The advanced system can fire up to 8 rounds per minute and strike targets at ranges of up to 70 km, while operating with high mobility and reduced crew requirements. The move comes after the UK transferred older artillery systems to Ukraine, creating a capability gap now being rapidly replaced with next generation fire support. Source: UK Ministry of Defence

@wsim @Lily4Liberty Cameras won’t stop crimes.

There are over 700 million facial recognition cameras in China, 1 for every 2 citizens. Privacy/civil liberties don’t exist under CCP. Western journalists get a taste of surveillance state. We don’t want them here. No kill switch, no social credit!

「人之美我者，欲有求於我也」 🇨🇳🇺🇸總結一下今天的習川峰會，對於中方招待，我維持我昨天的判斷：總體熱情但克制。但對於美方表現，卻有很多值得稱道的地方，不管是對習主席本人的稱讚，還是對中國的稱讚，幾乎可以用一個詞來形容「肉麻」。 川普為什麼要極盡奉承之能事？中國五千年的智慧早已有了答案：「人之美我者，欲有求於我也」。 就在一週前，伊朗外長阿拉齊剛剛訪問了北京；而現在川普也帶著龐大的代表團來到北京；緊隨其後的是俄羅斯總統普京也將訪華。 很顯然，伊朗是有求於中國的，雖然現在下場支持伊朗的只有巴基斯坦，但是中國對巴基斯坦的影響力度眾所周知。所以我們才看到，在這兩天內，伊朗先後批准了超過10艘中國船舶在未繳納通行費的情況下通過霍爾木茲海峽。 其次，美國對中國是否有所求呢？答案是很明顯的，只要中國繼續向伊朗出口兩用物資，美伊戰爭就永遠無法停下，美國將在中東持續失血。為此白宮不吝嗇極致的言辭之美。 再次，俄羅斯對中國是否有所求呢？通過近四年的俄烏戰爭，這已經毫無疑問了，中國甚至不用倒向烏克蘭，只要不繼續購買俄羅斯天然氣，早已失去歐洲市場的俄羅斯就會雪上加霜。 如今，我們環顧四周，中國已經成為了世界上唯一一個未卷入任何衝突的世界級大國，這個大國手上還握有令人恐懼的軍力、國力、產業競爭力、科技研發能力，任何一股明智的勢力都不會選擇去真正惹怒中國，世界的任何波動都只會讓人們更依賴中國。 生活在今天的中國人，必須感念40多年前那位老人提出的「世界大戰打不起來，和平與發展才是當代世界的兩大主題」的判斷，正是他的准確判斷，讓中國擁有了40多年的飛速發展。 同時，我認為川普今天的奉承話裡有一句是極為准確的，他稱讚習主席是“很偉大的領導人”，這點我非常認同。在風雲詭譎的當下世界，“動”需要勇氣，“亂動”者居多，“不動如山者”鳳毛麟角，能帶領中國保持如此戰略定力，成為如今唯一一個超然於世的超級大國，這是兵法中的最高境界「不戰而屈人之兵」。 最後，我無限感懷，想再說一句：“小平您好！”🫡

@MarkFra42642062 @Defence_Index Manned weapons of these kinds are redundant, it’s just government keeping the defense industry alive. The Ukraine war already proven tanks, fighter jets, artillery etc are pretty useless. Missiles and Drones are everything.

@wsim @Defence_Index These systems can fire on the move, or so I have been told and the Ukrainians will tell you how effective artillery still is.

@HawleyMO ☝️🤡 your potus been pestering and pestering for this visit

China was begging President Trump to come to Beijing. We need to STAY TOUGH on China, and I suspect President Trump will do just that

@glennbeck @MsMelChen You listen and believe to this porn banana?

As if he doesn't have enough jobs already, Marco Rubio apparently now has another name. @MsMelChen tells me how China literally gave him a new name to bypass their own sanctions on him: “Instead of rescinding the sanctions, what they did was just change Rubio’s name in Chinese, so that now the sanctions don’t apply... It's a 'different guy' coming in [to China]. It is a culture which cannot admit any political errors. It’s to save face. To actually reverse the sanctions would be to admit, ‘oh, we kind of did something that is a mistake.”

EPIC MODE ACTIVATED President Trump stared down Xi Jinping and delivered a masterstroke that left the room in silence: “I brought the 30 most powerful business leaders on the planet to these talks… and they all said yes. I didn’t send the second-in-command or the vice president. I wanted the number one from each empire! Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Elon Musk, and the other titans… the best in the world are here, right in front of you.” Then, with his winner’s smile, he sealed the deal: “They’re here today to pay respect to you and to China. They come hungry to do business, invest, and create. From our side, it’ll be 100% reciprocal.” The message is clear: America isn’t coming to beg. It’s coming with the supreme bosses of global innovation to lay all the cards on the table. This isn’t normal diplomacy… this is high-voltage diplomacy! - @Jhonffonseca
