China's Xi rolls out carpet for Ukraine war aggressors, sidelining Trump

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un's visit to Beijing for a massive military parade this week underscore the Chinese president's influence over authoritarian regimes intent on redefining the Western-led global order, while Trump's isolationist stance strains long-standing U.S. alliances.

In a show of solidarity with the aggressors in Europe's worst war in 80 years, China's Xi Jinping will convene with his Russian and North Korean counterparts for the first time as Donald Trump and other Western leaders watch from afar.

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un's visit to Beijing for a massive military parade this week underscore the Chinese president's influence over authoritarian regimes intent on redefining the Western-led global order, while Trump's isolationist stance strains long-standing U.S. alliances.

The gathering of what Western analysts have dubbed the 'Axis of Upheaval' could build on a mutual defence pact signed by Russia and North Korea in June 2024, and a similar alliance between Beijing and Pyongyang, an outcome that may alter the military calculus in the Asia-Pacific region....

Putin thanked his "dear friend" Xi for the warm welcome and said the close communication showed Russia's relations with China were at an "unprecedentedly high level", according to a video of the talks posted on the Kremlin's official Telegram messaging app.

"We must continue to take a clear stand against hegemonism and power politics," Xi told a gathering of more than 20 leaders of non-Western countries at a summit on Monday, a thinly veiled swipe at his geopolitical rival across the Pacific Ocean.

Xi also held talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, resetting strained bilateral ties, as Trump ratcheted up trade pressure on New Delhi over its purchases of Russian oil....
 
And for the first time in years, this concerns me.
 
regularly scheduled annual summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
Russia has been part of it and now has "enduring friendship" bilateral relations with Beijing

This is why wasting our money/focus on NATO - who's member states do not train together to confront China -but Russia, is misplaced logistics
 
Right now, though, Russia, not China, is the country challenging and "confronting" the USA and Europe.

To ignore Russia's ongoing aggression would be foolhardy, as so vividly demonstrated last century when "Peace in our time!" was shown to be a lie.

Where do you anticipate the US is going to have to "confront" China?

By "confronting" you mean driving enemies and allues alike away from us due to Trump's Dementia patient economic strategies.

When China invades Taiwan it will likely lead to a nuclear war between the US and China.

We'll win, but we'll probably lose some cities.

Hopefully if it happens it will be after the new SLBM warheads are deployed.
 
You don't say.

Thread 'A 'new world order' with a weaker US happening as we watch'

The US is facing declines in global power regardless of its government, but having a corrupt incompetent government has a price making it much worse. Right now, China, Russia, India, North Korea are meeting in Being - a number of 'firsts' - for China to 'roll out' its growing global power at the expense of the US. MANGA.
