“The Chinese very much want to find a way to keep Putin in power because Xi Jinping feels very comfortable with Putin. These two leaders are bonded in a way that we have not understood.”
I have to say I disagree with a lot of the assumptions in this weeks episode. For example, XJP has referred to Joe Biden (and many others in the past as his old friend). Also XJP somehow supporting Putin due to some Marxist personal bond - as opposed to just ensuring that China’s next door neighbour doesn’t weaken and eventually implode..
I suspect one thing China will be paying attention to is whether the US is willing to pay to have its conventional munitions production capacity increased tenfold or not.
Really enjoyed reading this. Well done.
thank you!

you're right and I edited it in the doc. But not sure anyone else has gotten the 最好的知心朋友 moniker
