The French president’s “I know I can count on you” was wildly incautious: The Chinese leader was “inflexible in direct reply to French head of state,” as Le Monde put it. At the same time, Macron managed a nifty chime with Xi on the larger point. “Together with France, we appeal for restraint and reason,” Xi remarked during the Great Hall exchange, “in the quest for a political settlement and the building of a European security architecture that is balanced and lasting.”
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
There was some very good information on Consortium News in the visit of Manny Marcon to dictator Xi of China. It was more than the author explained, in this was an insight into the next world war as everyone plays each other.
The French President failed miserably as the French have a history of doing with their last king and last emperor. Charles DeGaulle was the one person who got foreign policy right, before the history wrote it.
Xi will not allow China to be played against Russia, because Russia is the Chinese weapon against Europe and the United States. Macron gave half the game away to China in dividing Europe over Taiwan. The British in Australia will betray America, but that is not discussed here as only Reverse Speech revealed that. America is now alone as it stands in the midsts of NATO thinking it has an alliance which will stand against China.
Xi is splitting Europe, everyone is. America is, Britain is, Russia is and Europe is. Xi told the skirt of the EU to take a hike as the boys drank tea. The EU is dead. It is a bureaucracy which represents the same continental cowards who if they do not have a strong man to force them to war, they will gladly hand themselves over to slavery and rape, as Europeans have an affinity for pretending they are in charge behind the bars.
Three, von der Leyen was not invited to Guangdong. Xi, we can confidently infer, wants to deal with European nations such as France and leaders such as Macron rather than the rigidly neoliberal European Union and ideologues such as the European Commission’s current president.
Xi’s intent was to demonstrate that Beijing remains open to developing a set of relations with Europe that amount to a common cause against America’s effort to line up the Atlantic world against China and, by implication, Russia. “Xi denounced ‘Cold War logic and the confrontation of blocs,” Le Monde’s correspondent, Claire Gatinous, reported from Beijing. Gatinous then quoted Xi saying, “China always considers Europe an independent pole in a multipolar world.”
That last part is important. Xi is playing Europe without the United States.
Thus enters the descendants of Richard III. The English are adept at intrigue. They have made it an empire and an economy in slaughtering all other peoples.
Liz Truss who was an offering to the reign of King Charles has returned, to her colony of America, where she is whispering the ghosts of world wars into American ears again, calling the French weak. That the only people who can find a resolution to Ukraine are the people who started the war against Russia, the English in the shadows with thee Americans out front again.
Truss is now back to reprise her Margaret Thatcher imitation.
“It was a mistake for Western leaders to visit President Xi and ask him to intervene in seeking a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine,” Truss said last week at the Heritage Foundation, which seems one of the only places Truss is still taken seriously. “I believe that was a sign of weakness. It’s also why President Macron is wrong to suggest Taiwan is not of direct interest to Europe.”
Xi's solution is Europe isolated, with Russia intimidating from the Volga, China dominating the Pacific and America imprisoned behind ocean walls in a broken up nation of factions and invasion.
That is a win for China in a diplomatic consumption of the West, as it hides behind Russian strength which is ebbing as fast as China's.
All were part of this Great Game, installed leaders by the cartel to play out this exact scenario.
All the kings horses and all the kings men will not put humpty dumpty together again.
Nuff Said
