China Weekend Missive
Quite the contrast in geopolitical posturing over the past several days. While everyone has been intensely focused on the diplomatic breakdown at the White House, a completely different - and strategically relevant - meeting took place in Beijing.
Just hours before the now infamous Trump/Zelensky meeting came reports of Xi Jinping convening his own meeting. His guest ….. Russian security envoy Sergei Shoigu. The messaging was direct and clear. While I’m not the biggest fan of the SCMP, you would be well served to read the article linked below in its entirety.
Why I’m making that suggestion is given that there’s been little reporting of this meeting elsewhere. I suppose to be expected though as the entire affair in Washington has sucked out all the air out of the American discourse.
All of this, the contrasting outcomes of the two events, demonstrates a stark difference in the operating mentality of American and Chinese leadership when engaging on the world stage be it with allies or adversaries.
