China Evening Missive
Well, Xi Jinping didn’t accept Trump’s invitation to the inaugural, but he has accepted Putin’s May 9th invitation to the 80th anniversary of the “Victory in the Great Patriotic War” AKA the defeat of the Nazis.
Perhaps not an apples-to apples comparison, but it is also rare for a Chinese President to publicly accept any invitation months in advance of an event. No question that there’s a host of pieces on the board of the Great Game being played here at the same time.
If, and it is a big IF, this gets picked up by the American press you can be assured that there’ll be a message. Rather than see this as it is, leaders of the very broad coalition against the Rules Based International Order meeting, the dangerous meeting of America’s enemies.
For me, this is just a very smart geopolitical move by Moscow and Beijing.
