Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I don't think I've ever seen tensions cool off after US China meeting in the last 3 years
It usually ends up with US putting out an aggressive statement
It still is to the benefit of China's foreign relations in general to offer reasonable, cooperative proposals and then have them be rejected. It makes the US look terrible.
I'm mostly shook Xi decided to go tbh
Should've only sent Wang to snub the US and not risk any ClA ops like with COVID
Nobody in the world can afford to piss off the United States.
After throwing tantrum for a while, both China and the US realize that they ultimately need one another.
It’s an abusive relationship, it’s never easy to get out. China thought it could leave America and get intimate with the failson Russia, who is ultimately too poor and useless to keep China’s massive economy on track. Only America’s deep consumer market can possibly satisfy China’s vast manufacturing industrial capacity.
That’s not to say decoupling is not possible, it’s simply very painful, and like all abusive relationships, it’s harder to leave than you think. Many eventually go back to their abusers after a while.
The US doesn't have the nerve to do something like that.
