Donald Trump will participate in the first-ever trilateral meeting between the leaders of the U.S., China and Russia on the sidelines at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in China next week, senior U.S. officials told reporters Friday evening.
Trump is expected to discuss Iran with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the officials said, but he does not intend to discuss Russia’s war with Ukraine during the trilateral meeting.
Denuclearization will be the focus of the long-awaited trilateral meeting, though officials do not anticipate the leaders reaching any concrete agreement and are characterizing this meeting as an initial conversation broaching the subject.
Yes it is, because neither USA or Europe are big or strong enough to counter China, so instead of a balance of power, it is very likely that China will take over the dominant position of USA. To balance China we need USA to be an ally of the free world.
Why is China becoming the economic center of the world bad? That’s the baseline for humanity. China has always been the moat powerful country in the world, except for like 200 years.
Being the economic center of the world is not bad in itself, at least not in my opinion. China getting out of being a poor country is actually good, improving life conditions for 1.3 billion people as absolutely stellar.
But unfortunately we have seen China becoming more aggressive as they have become more powerful. It was not healthy that USA was unchecked for many years, and it will not be healthy if China becomes unchecked either. There needs to be balance.
A) China is the free world.
B) You are assuming China wants to rule the world, instead of essentially ensuring Chinese stability during the transition into socialism during the current 15 year plan.
Oh please, we’ve seen China exert all kinds of political pressure on neighboring countries, and even EU countries. To control aspects that are none of their business. Like what books about China should be allowed in European libraries.
If you think China is better than USA, you are deluding yourself.
China hasn’t been in a war, ever. Like the modern Chinese state. They have never invaded a country. That by itself is better than the US…
They are technically currently at war with India. Over Indian territory they bought illegally from UK when India was a UK colony.
Apart from that they have also been aiding in wars like Vietnam and Korea.
Granted China may not be as much a warmonger as USA, but that is in part because USA was the global leader by far for ½ a century. China was not in a similar position to wage war. Hopefully they will be more peaceful than USA.
Got actual evidence of that?

Oh, so it’s a conspiracy theory, got it.
How the fuck is that a conspiracy theory? The result of Chinese delegation, went right to the top in China, and it became a diplomatic crisis between Norway and China.
You are not accepting facts, but twisting them to suit your blind beliefs.
