Javier Milei then: “I wouldn’t do business with China. We will make transactions with the civilized side of life - the West. I don’t transact with communists.”

Javier Milei now: “Please, Mr. Xi Jinping please continue to send yuan”

Reality hits hard!

    I know China will probably make a deal with them but part of me really wants them to just be like “lol no, have fun licking Amerikkkan boot.”

      China wins bigger by making the deal. It shows everyone that regardless of idiotic political games played by the US, China is indispensable in the new multipolar world. It is what US fears the most and what they have no answer to.

        I am aware of this and know that’s the best course… But still… It would be so satisfying in the moment. Maybe… Maybe they just can let them stew a bit. Let them sweat for a little while.

      China presents itself as a noble 君子, the US and the collective West by contrast act like petty 小人. A noble man doesn’t see the need to prove himself to the petty man, for he knows that by displaying his generosity, he will gradually win favors from the rest of the world.

        And as with most 小人, everyone would be advised to steer clear from them as they are the types to stab you when they don’t get what they want

          The US did stab China with their economic warfare and their racist propaganda.

          To be honest, I as a Vietnamese used to favor the US more than China. Then I see all the petty acts the US did against China in the last few years. I recognize these acts as signs of a desperate and failing empire, I can no longer respect the US. Funny how their propaganda backfire, huh.
