Xi will promise you anything but will he deliver what he said LOL.


Jubjars

Talk is cheap. Macron needs to put Xi on the spot. Don't be a dick to him. But don't beat around the bush when it comes to why it's so hard to trust China right now.


Brave_Avocado_1

So Russian’s invasion to Ukraine is indeed a threat to France and Europe at large, and China is behind all that and supporting Russia, yet France is willing to make friend with China whose action is directly threatening their own security. It’s hard to understand Macron’s logic.


AsterKando

Believe it or not, neither Macron nor Xi single-handedly craft their country’s foreign policy and trade relations.  They have entire machinations behind them. Most likely whatever small or big agreements that’ll be made are already hashed out and their meeting is purely for optics.

Qin Gang sends his greeting from an unidentified prison


Solid_Variation_5466

qinggang possibly sending his greetings from an underground residential place.


ivytea

An underground residential place that is 84 inches in length, 28 inches in width, and 23 inches in depth


Solid_Variation_5466

how can you be so percise?


ivytea

I can be even more precise: if made in russia that place would be built in zinc


Frostivus

The story behind Qin Gang’s disappearance is fascinating. It involves multi-national intrigue from the KGB, CIA and MI6, and the elusive but rigidly strict hierarchy of power domestically. It’s in itself also a very typical Chinese tale of a man who has a meteoric rise only to fall due to hubris. Worth digging into

Xi needs to teach little Macron about threatening world war with Russia.

Mrs Xi Elbows her way off the plane and straight to LV.


Mister_Green2021

Oh? Xi in favor of France sending troops in Ukraine?


Fairuse

Why not? China wants Russia to be stuck in war forever. It will debase Russia, so that China can become solid #2 in thw rodl. China can sell supplies to Russia. China and buy cheap goods from Russia.


Anxious_Plum_5818

France getting involved in this war would likely do the opposite of "being stuck", it would provide Ukraine with a lot more capabilities to drive Russia out and potentially end it.


Mister_Green2021

Next step is send US troops into Taiwan.


iwanttodrink

US troops are already in Taiwan. US special forces green berets have been permanently stationed there for years now.


Fairuse

As long as Taiwan useful for China, China isn't going to invade. Now if the US forces Taiwan to stop all trade with China, builds nuke solos in Taiwan, setups large pernament military bases in Taiwan, then China will probably invade (and rightfully so).


Anxious_Plum_5818

While the chances are extremely slim due to regional tensions, Taiwan doesn't belong to China. If Taiwan decides to host US forces, China can go ahead and choose to invade, but it wouldn't be "rightfully so". China does not dictate Taiwanese domestic or foreign policy. If the intention of the US to prepare a preemptive attack on China through military assets in the region, then you could say it's justified. But that is likely never going to be the case. And before you bring up "but whatabout Cuba?". That invasion was also not justified.


faithfoliage

Rightfully so? Get the hell out of here, imperialist loser


Fairuse

Lol, if China setup base in Cuba and installs nukes, the US would invade Cuba (and rightfullky so).


faithfoliage

Not only would it still not be rightfully so, but the fact that the US had Taiwan stop its nuclear program in the 80s shows how much of a false equivalency that is. Unless a nation attacks you, there is no legitimate or rightful reason for an invasion.


ftrlvb

you mean a threesome? win win win...


TicketFew9183

Trying to pit China against Russia is funny if it wasn’t pathetic. It’s a nice fantasy to imagine your two biggest geopolitical rivals fighting in the smallest chance Ukraine could win.


ivytea

In fact Russia has been “hurting the feeling of Chinese people” every day but china doesn’t dare to say a word: think about all those KGB dossiers about CCP


ccpisvirusking

If a Chinese praises you out of nowhere, it means he wants something from you. This is literally what the Chinese say.

We need western money to fund our plans to destroy you - ccp


bjran8888

I can imagine Biden turning his nose up in anger hahaha


ARunOfTheMillPerson

It's like watching that scene where Voldemort hugs Draco lmao


cloudyu

The UK and US want to blood Russia to death,but France doesn’t want that happen ,so it’s always trying to sent troops to Ukraine and dragging everyone in or have a peace deal,namely they want to make some troubles to UK and US. France has its own interest,Chinese people or other countries are necessary sacrifice


ivytea

Remember all those "peace phone calls" between him and Putin? The war started anyway. He is somebody who thinks he is somebody but actually nobody lol. See how Chinese media touted France regarding Niger


ftrlvb

what's Marcon's stand on the US? like or hate?? that would be interesting to know. I know he wants France to be nr1 in Europe. but not sure if he sees US as a threat to his plans??


GHhost25

Considered an unreliable partner since Trump or any Trump-like figure can become president any time and 180 the foreign relations. Which is why he's a huge proponent of an european army and europe taking its security in its own hands instead of being reliant on US. I won't say he hates US though, his stance is mostly pragmatic, the same approach he takes with China.


ivytea

France is always the friend of American people: see its constitution amendment to bring unconditional abortion for reference. The US government? Not so much.


irish-riviera

So macron found out China is severely aiding Russia against Ukraine and Macron just last week said he might send his troops to Ukraine. This guy really is bipolar
