Xi Jinping’s meetings in Moscow with Vladimir Putin put the Biden administration in an uncomfortable position: on the sidelines as two adversaries discuss a Ukraine peace proposal that the US has deemed unacceptable. US officials have publicly expressed deep skepticism about the Chinese idea, saying its call for a cease-fire would reward Moscow’s invasion by cementing its territorial gains. Privately, though, the meetings and the proposal have provoked a sense of unease within the administration, leading in turn to questions about the broader US approach to the two countries. According to one administration official, who asked not to be identified discussing internal deliberations, the US is worried about being backed into a corner over the Chinese proposal. Regardless of the US reservations, dismissing it outright could let China argue to other nations that are weary of the war — and of the economic damage it’s wreaking — that Washington isn’t interested in peace. If the US spurns the agreement, “China will likely ramp up messaging that the US is opposed to a cease-fire, that the US is opposed to the end of the war,” said Bonny Lin, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who once served at the Pentagon. “There will be lots of ways in which China will try to spin whatever comes from the China-Russia meeting in a way that seeks to portray the US in negative light.” The debate over China’s version of a peace plan highlights just one of the many uncomfortable realities that were brought home by Xi’s three-day visit this week to Moscow, which saw the Chinese leader greeted warmly by Putin. The two countries pledged to deepen their partnership even further. The Biden administration has tried to keep China on the sidelines since the start of the Ukraine invasion, but the opposite appears to have happened. Even as Xi and Putin grow closer, China is finding a receptive audience for its broader diplomatic push around the globe. At a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Senator Jeff Merkley asked Secretary of State Antony Blinken to respond to what the Oregon Democrat called a “three-day bro-fest with Putin and Xi celebrating authoritarian power.” Blinken acknowledged it was a continuation of the two nations’ pledge right before the war of a “partnership with no limits.” “This is no surprise — both countries have very different worldviews than our own,” Blinken said. “They may find common cause in opposing the worldview that we and so many other countries around the world seek to defend and advance.” Blinken didn’t mention all the countries that have refused to take sides despite US urging. China has shrugged off US sanctions over its companies’ partnership with Russia, bought oil from Iran’s regime in defiance of western demands and helped orchestrate a diplomatic detente between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Major global economies such as India and Brazil are refusing to choose between China and the West, arguing they don’t want a new Cold War. And a week ago, Honduras began the process of giving up its diplomatic ties with Taiwan in favor of economic links with China. The move was “a sign of my determination to fulfill the government plan and expand frontiers freely in harmony with the nations of the world,” President Xiomara Castro said in a tweet. Worsening Ties It’s all taking place as US ties to China, which began to fray with former President Donald Trump’s trade war, keep getting worse. That was underscored by the furor over the alleged Chinese spy balloon that provoked a national outcry in the US and angry recriminations between Washington and Beijing. That episode eroded an attempt to stabilize the relationship late last year with an in-person summit between President Joe Biden and Xi in Indonesia. It led to a tense meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi in Munich, and Xi later warned of “comprehensive containment and suppression by Western countries led by the US.” US officials argue that their sharp words for Beijing are having an impact. They say US public warnings that China might provide lethal a*sistance to Russia led Xi’s government to think twice about the idea. The US also continues to supply Ukraine with weapons — it announced $325 million in new munitions this week — in concert with European nations that are coming up with new supply plans of their own. The Biden administration has tried to make China confront the Ukraine crisis on the US’s terms, but “Xi is now getting in on his terms,” said Christopher K. Johnson, president of China Strategies Group, a political risk consultancy. “And that, I think, is probably causing some consternation within the administration.” With Washington constantly taking a hawkish hard line on China, some analysts believe that China may have effectively given up on a better relationship with the US anytime soon. The less China sees an opportunity to work with the US, “the more likely they are to pursue those other avenues and options,” said Melanie Sisson, a foreign policy fellow at the Brookings Institution. “And in many ways and places, that will mean trying to fray US relationships with other countries.”

Been hearing crazy meth heads talking about the NWO is coming for about 25 years now. When is it finally going to happen? Or do your paranoid social media ramblings just barely prevent it from happening every day?

Booda Sack said people support this clown sh*t and will vote for it again

It's almost like more people are smarter than you than aren't. This is a good indication you're in the bottom half of intelligence quotient.

It’s insane, never in my life would I’ve thought the left would become the pro war side

GREAT1NE said It’s insane, never in my life would I’ve thought the left would become the pro war side

They haven't. The same moderates and right wingers who have always been pro war are still pro war.

Yea, the new world order will be China above the US
I love the US and all but they’re still pulling the same Colonist sh*t from 200 years ago and it will be amazing to see it end.

It’s inevitable

Poor leadership allowed for China to step in the gap and be the hero


This is a direct failure as a result of typical American greed

Great job falling on your own sword

fu*k all these puppet presidents. I'd vote for you or someone on BX over these clowns. Worst thing that can happen is a fat first lady. Cardi b portraits all over the white house. And tranny scandals.

China doing it too

Just more subtle about it


Look at what they're willing to do to their own, then understand the world with them on top is not a good one.

This is what most Blacks in America fail to realize. I’m in Alabama, so I get it. I understand wanting America to fall. But once white supremacy falls, so does Black America.

Yeah, Whites hate Blacks (not in every case, but history is history), but the rest of the world HATES Blacks on another level. Ukraine (for example) is begging for help, but is racist af. How do you ask for help from America, but you left Africans to die when the war started?

I’m 100% unapologetically pro-black, but when America falls.. all of our lives will change forever G.

Western leaders also fear whats going on in France right now.

You mothafu*kas are like...literally slaves:

But once white supremacy falls, so does Black America.

What the fu*k type of 4chan, house negro sh*t is this? You mothafu*kas live your lives like "WHITE SUPREMACY IS BLACK CULTURE"?

LOL. bi*ch it's CALLED "WHITE SUPREMACY" FOR A REASON.


CAN'T GET ANY WORSE THAN THAT.

This guy basically just insinuated that Black people need to protect White racism because they heard from White racist that no other country likes Black people.

You know SMART Black people stayed in EUROPE after WW2 because they felt more free?

Better look it up.

America doesn't want you to think you can go anywhere, be anything or do sh*t because of YOUR SKIN COLOR. Period. Because WHITE SUPREMACY DEPENDS ON OPPRESSING BLACK MEN.

I know some of you are just KKK agents, trying to Whitewash Black people into thinking racism against us, benefits us...

...but if you're BLACK and saying this sh*t...BLEACH YOUR SKIN bi*ch.

ILL BE AROUND 100 WHITE PEOPLE...AND STILL LET A MOTHAfu*kA KNOW I'M BLACK. And if you're not an anti-Black skin idiot...I don't have a problem with you.


Nah.

House negreos that identify as "White" will go down with their masters. I mean..."Conservatives".

What are you "Conserving" as a Black person? American racism? Slavery?

White values in America are based around privilege gained from OPPRESSION OF OTHERS. MAINLY BLACK MEN.

Look at the staff in many corporations in America. Not one damn Black Man in nearly all of them.

And America will be used as historical example of anti-Black racism once Africa rises. And it will.

An African alliance with Russia is probably bound to happen too.

They don't like Israel or "Liberal" propaganda coming out of America.

And the only way that will happen is by rejecting the evil sh*t America is exporting.

Need to go back to making our leaders participate in the wars they start.

Also...I can smell the fear of people on this forum.

War mongering and OK with war as long as it doesn't really effect America.

But you probably haven't noticed EUROPEANS are rioting and protesting. And getting tired of America's sh*t.

I told you all before thar Sweden and Finland weren't going to join NATO last year...and had idiots telling me they were.

Well...I see that still hasn't happened.

"But but Turkey...".

Yeah yeah.

Sweden doesn't want America in their sh*t like that or using them for props in war.

The world needs to undo all of this chaos and focus on progressive sh*t like SPACE EXPLORATION AND GALATIC ADVANCES.

Being held back by ZIONIST and WHITE BARBARIAN RACIST from America, Israel and some EU COUNTRIES that are just fueled by hate and feral genetics.


Unless you think America won't be turning those robots and AI on your great grandkids lol
