News on China from Tings Chak, Donsheng news + commentary.

Despite the footsie playing between China and the US in the last few weeks and coming, this is the commentary nevertheless – This time from Danny Haiphong:

China ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ Update:

Given that our eyes are on Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ and rightfully so, I wanted to give my assessment on where things are with China-US relations. The United States in recent weeks has been increasing diplomatic exchanges with China, culminating in Gavin Newsomโ€™s visit to China and Wang Yiโ€™s visit to Washington to end October.

US empire managers are mired in two crises: Ukraine and Israel. Ukraine has lost its proxy war with Russia while Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ is on a rampage of genocide in Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ. These failures threaten the political capital of Biden and the neocons come November 2024. An easing with China ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ releases pressure.

Itโ€™s all temporary. The U.S. has made no real commitments, and hasnโ€™t pulled back its sanctions or military hardware in Taiwan or the South China Sea. China hawk Kurt Campbell was given a promotion to second in command at the State Department. When itโ€™s politically feasible, war escalations against China will intensify.
