China rejects EU Trade Deficit Complaints
The entitlement and hubris is absolutely off the charts:

G7 warns China on South China Sea, urges it to press Russia to exit Ukraine
The G7 on Wednesday issued a pointed warning on China’s militarization of the South China Sea and called for Beijing to press Russia for an unconditional withdrawal from Ukraine.
In a statement, it urged China to “press Russia to stop its military aggression” and to “support a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine” in line with the principles of the UN Charter.
With respect to the South China Sea, the leaders expressed their opposition to “China’s expansive maritime claims and militarization activities” in the highly disputed region.
And this is a good comment from the peanut gallery watching – a little fun:
Leaked conversation from the EU China Summit in Beijing.
EU: You have to buy more from us to balance the trade.
China: Ok sure, what you got? Oh look at those lithography machines. We’ll take 10,000 of those.
EU: You can’t have that.
China: Ok. What else you got?
EU: LV bags. And tea. And BMWs.
China: Everyone in China already has an LV bag. We don’t need your Lipton English Breakfast tea. And we make our own cars now, exporting them. You have some natural gas? We need natural gas.
EU: 😠
China: Well that’s what we need. What else you have?
EU: Democracy.
China: How does that work?
EU: We come and give you a bunch of lectures, and you pay us.
China: Ok, and then?
EU: Then you will have as good a government as the EU.
While we are intent on understanding the war between Israel and Gaza (and watching the final bells ring in the Ukraine), the full spectrum pressure on China is not letting up for one moment.
