He gonna get his ass killed one day… Blinken going to China to place sanctions on them for helping Russia…(U can’t make this up)

America act like Russia is there biggest enemy but they work together to make sure that God ( true black man ) doesn't take the earth back from them. America will bail Russia out before even thinking about a black nation. Rwanda should have been a wake up call but they narrated that just like they did about Libya and Jonestown.
Photo-op selfies aside, China-Russian military trade ties is likely not ending:
"Meanwhile, the enduring partnership between China and Russia, grounded in shared interests and mutual support, presents a formidable challenge to U.S. efforts to exert influence in the region. While subtle shifts may occur in response to external pressures, the core of this relationship remains resilient."
U.S.-China Rift Deepens Over Russia Support: Blinken Warns of Sanctions

Earlier, China’s foreign minister Wang Yi said relations between China and the US risked a return to a downward spiral unless Washington respected Beijing’s core interests.
“China’s legitimate development rights have been unreasonably suppressed and our core interests are facing challenges,” he said. “China’s concerns are consistent. We have always called for respect of each other’s core interests and urge the United States not to interfere in China’s internal affairs, not to hold China’s development back, and not to step on China’s red lines on China’s sovereignty, security, and development interests.”

BEIJING, April 26 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing on Friday in the latest high-level contacts between the superpowers aimed at keeping tense relations under control.
The visit brought little progress on contentious issues, including China's support for Russia in Ukraine, tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea and U.S. complaints about cheap Chinese exports. However, there was some effort to ease the mood by emphasizing educational and other cultural exchanges. Following are details of some of the issues:
UKRAINE AND CHINA'S SUPPORT FOR RUSSIA
Blinken raised concerns about China's support for Russia's military, saying its supply of so-called dual-use goods was "having a material effect in Ukraine" and raising the threat Russia poses to countries in Europe."China is the top supplier of machine tools, microelectronics, nitrocellulose, which is critical to making munitions and rocket propellants, and other dual-use items that Moscow is using to ramp up its defense industrial base," Blinken told a news conference.
He did not respond when asked whether Washington would impose sanctions over China's support for Russia, which U.S. officials warn risks hurting the broader bilateral relationship, even as ties stabilize.
China says it has not provided weaponry to any party and that it is "not a producer of or party involved in the Ukraine crisis". However, it says that normal trade between China and Russia should not be interrupted or restricted.
TAIWAN
China's top diplomat Wang Yi said the U.S. must not step on "red lines" covering sovereignty, security and development interests - an apparent reference to Taiwan, the democratically governed island China claims as its own, and the disputed South China Sea.Russia's Ukraine invasion has raised fears China might be emboldened to move against Taiwan, which the U.S. is required by law to provide with the means to defend itself.
President Joe Biden, who met Xi Jinping in November in San Francisco, says Washington does not support Taiwan's independence, but has upset Beijing by appearing to suggest it would defend the island if it were attacked.
Underscoring the discord, hours before Blinken landed in China on Wednesday, Biden signed a bill that included $8 billion to counter China's military might, as well as billions in defense aid for Taiwan and $61 billion for Ukraine.
ECONOMIC RELATIONS
China and the United States are the world's two largest economies and still have robust trade ties. These have been hit by U.S. concerns about the size of its trade deficit with China, Washington's imposition of restrictions on trade in goods that could bolster China's military, and efforts to diversify supply chains away from China since the COVID-19 pandemic.Wang said the U.S. had taken "endless" measures to suppress China's economy, trade, science and technology, equating such steps to containment. Xi reiterated Beijing's concerns that the U.S. was suppressing its economic development.
"This is a fundamental issue that must be addressed, just like the first button of a shirt that must be put right, in order for the China-U.S. relationship to truly stabilize, improve and move forward," Xi said.
DRUGS AND OTHER ISSUES
Curbing China's supply of the chemicals used to make fentanyl, a killer drug having a devastating effect among American youth, has been a top U.S. priority.During his three-day trip, Blinken met China's minister of public security, Wang Xiaohong, to discuss the issue.
He said China has made some progress dealing with what he called the number-one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, but "more needs to be done."
Blinken also said the countries also agreed to hold their first talks on artificial intelligence in coming weeks.
PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE TIES
To lighten the mood after days of serious engagement, Blinken popped into a Beijing record store and bought an album by Chinese rocker Dou Wei and Taylor Swift's "Midnights."One of the aims of his trip has been to emphasize the importance of "people-to-people ties" in improving relations.
Blinken, a keen musician and guitar player, described music as "the best connector, regardless of geography."
He also said Xi had said he wanted to "significantly increase" the number of American students in China. Blinken said there were more than 290,000 Chinese students in the United States, but fewer than 900 Americans studying in China.

Sanctions would hold weight but them back line talks still happen.
How folks place sanctions on Russia but still purchase items from them?
Including the lead voices in NATO and the EU
Some weight, yes, but not the same stopping power a few decades ago. The landscape is changing.
Definitely changed…. Especially saying one thing but doing another, like you said
Check out that thread I just made, shit be comical
I just saw it
French President Macron: "The more gas France buys from Russia, the less gas the aggressor will have for sale."
Can't make this shit up, fam

Hey we won’t speak about the billions we shipped to Putin for product…in 2023
So Blinken went asking Xi to stop helping Russia only to be told we the reason for that Ukraine war
“The United States is ready to take new measures and impose sanctions against China against the backdrop of the situation in Ukraine, Blinken said after meeting with Xi Jinping”
“
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman: “NATO is directly responsible for the Ukrainian crisis
The Alliance must reflect on its role, stop shifting blame and effectively take practical action to politically resolve the crisis."

Yep, it's not like China gave responses of: "Yes, Sensai..."Ohh we so sorry, Great American Sensai!!" responses to Blinken
China called them out on their bullshit in those meetings. The 90's are long gone.

You are
China had a civil war in 1949 and the losers ran to the island of Taiwan. They've been an independent state and are recognized by several countries.
You right I didn’t think it was that many…
“Currently Taiwan has 12 diplomatic allies that recognise Taiwan as the ROC (and thus do not have official relations with Beijing): Belize, Guatemala, Haiti, Holy See, Marshall Islands, Palau, Paraguay, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Eswatini and Tuvalu”

China and Russia have almost completely phased out their use of the US dollar in bilateral trade, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has said.
In a meeting with Chinese and Russian officials this week, Mishustin said more than 90% of trade between the two nations was denominated in either Russia's ruble or China's yuan. That "demonstrates almost full de-dollarization of economic ties," Russia's state-run news agency TASS quoted him as saying.
Trade between Russia and China has also expanded this year, as Western sanctions have made Russia's economy more reliant on China for trade. Mishustin said total transactions between the two countries had swelled to a record $200 billion this year.
Meanwhile, Russia-US trade recently plummeted to a 30-year low. That came after the US and its allies largely cut off Moscow from the global financial system for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
At the same time, Beijing has made some gains in trying to internationalize the yuan.
Its share of global payments rose from 1.9% in January to 3.6% in October, and the People's Bank of China has signed bilateral currency swaps with more than 30 central banks, including Saudi Arabia and Argentina.
Those trends attest to the growing desire for Russia, China, and other BRICS nations to de-dollarize their economies, with some commentators fearing the bloc could even issue its own currency to rival the greenback.
Most economists, though, say those fears are probably overblown. One top Indian official said earlier this year that there was no BRICS currency in the works. And even if there was, the dollar still dominates financial markets by a wide margin, with the greenback accounting for 54% of central-bank exchange reserves and 88% of global trade in 2022.
