Xi Jinping hosts Donald Trump in Beijing knowing his country has won the future, the era of the US as the world’s top superpower is rapidly coming to a close.

“Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.”

—Vladimir Lenin

Reporter: Did you talk to Xi about the cyber attacks that he's done in the United States?

Trump: I did. And he talked about attacks that we did in China. What they do, we do too.

The one saving grace about Trump remains his transparency & lack of performative outrage.

China’s Prof. Zhang Weiwei: ‘For all of the damage caused by Donald Trump, he AT LEAST shows decent RESPECT for China🇨🇳 and Russia🇷🇺.’

‘Most Chinese slightly prefer Donald Trump because he was slightly more honest than Harris and because Biden and her team, from the Chinese point of view, were the drivers of the current confrontation and were very hypocritical.

Despite the huge problems created by Donald Trump and so much damage to the world…he has shown decent respect for big powers like Russia and China, has shown decent respect for Russian leader Vladimir Putin and for Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

And after all, being the two largest economies and two largest military powers in the world, if China and the United States can talk to each other, it’s a good thing for the whole world.’

—Prof. Zhang Weiwei, Former Translator for Chinese Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping, and Director of Fudan University’s China Institute

Today is Nakba Day, a day of remembrance of the atrocities, ethnic cleansing and forced displacement Palestinians suffered at the hands of Zionist forces which led to the creation of Israel:

30+ massacres committed by Zionist militias killing at least 15,000 Palestinians.

530 Palestinian villages destroyed, over 750,000 Palestinians forced to flee the ethnic cleansing and the state of Israel declared on 78% of historic Palestine🇵🇸.

By the end of 1948, two-thirds of the Palestinian population were exiled.

Here is a recounting of one of the worst massacres during the Nakba; the Deir Yassin Massacre, in which Zionist forces threw children into ovens.

Trump-Xi Summit: ‘China is WINNING the Competition Against the USA’—Prof. Zhang Weiwei

https://rumble.com/v79vu1o-trump-xi-summit-china-is-winning-the-competition-against-the-usaprof.-zhang.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

Prof. Zhang Weiwei: ‘China🇨🇳 has shown it is VERY DETERMINED to fight back against the US🇺🇸 if RED LINES are crossed.’

‘There were no hot wars between the Soviet Union and the United States. It’s Cold War era. Yet China fought two hot wars. Large-scale military confrontation with United States directly.

The Korean War in 1950s and the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 1970s, both involving large scale direct military confrontation between China and United States.

So China remembered that. We think United States has drawn some lessons from this military confrontation with China.

Even when China was 100 times weaker than today, we were determined to fight back if you cross red lines, this is very clear.’

—Prof. Zhang Weiwei, Former Translator for Chinese Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping, and Director of Fudan University’s China Institute

According to Fox News, the US🇺🇸 is COLONISING China🇨🇳 through KFC, McDonalds and Taco Bell expansion…

‘Once the US gets fast food into a country…that’s basically now a US colony.’

The US’ contributions to the world in 2026: billions of burgers and bombs killing children.

Prof. Zhang Weiwei: ‘China🇨🇳 is WINNING the competition against the US. China is beating the US🇺🇸 in 57 of the 64 top critical technologies.’

Marco Rubio🇺🇸 on the chip war against China🇨🇳:

‘The Chinese are doing their best to catch us and even surpass us. We shouldn’t make it easy for them.’

The US spent billions trying to contain China’s chip industry. China is now #1 in global wafer capacity and targeting 70% domestic self-sufficiency, all by 2026.

China is now projected to control approximately 39% of global legacy semiconductor manufacturing by 2027.

Legacy chips are not the cutting edge AI GPU chips, but they are essential for:

•Cars

•Industrial machinery

•Consumer electronics

•Power grids

•Appliances

•Telecommunications equipment

Prof. Zhang Weiwei: ‘China🇨🇳 is NOT AFRAID of US’🇺🇸 attempts to choke off China’s energy imports with wars on Venezuela and Iran, Beijing prepared TWO DECADES AGO.’

Through Venezuela and Iran, ‘we can choke off China's🇨🇳 oil at any time we want…China has two weaknesses: energy and food. Both of them are vulnerable to our blockades.’

-US🇺🇸 Rep. Carlos Gimenez

One of the reasons for the war on Iran was to put the US closer to the position where it could crash the Chinese economy at any time it wanted by choking off Beijing’s oil imports…

But China was a step ahead and planned for this decades ago.

Prof. Zhang Weiwei: ‘The US🇺🇸 military’s supply of RARE EARTHS from China🇨🇳 is about to be CUT OFF.’

‘Since sometime last year, China has exercised stricter control over the export of rare earths to the United States. It had to do with the trade war and tech war.

And China said: no rare earth for US military and military establishments. The ban is for one year. So during this period of time, there’ll be no rare earth for US military purposes.

China now can exercise this kind of control. That’s important.’

—Prof. Zhang Weiwei, Former Translator for Chinese Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping, and Director of Fudan University’s China Institute

China🇨🇳 controls roughly 85–90% of global rare earth refining and magnet production.

Over 70% of the US’🇺🇸 rare earth imports come from China.

China produces around 60–70% of the world’s mined rare earths. The US lost most of its domestic rare earth processing capability decades ago and is now spending billions trying to rebuild it.

Even if the US spends billions in rebuilding refineries, China dominates the rare earth market.

A single F-35 fighter jet contains over 900 pounds of rare earth elements.

A Virginia-class nuclear submarine contains around 9,200 pounds of rare earths.

An Arleigh Burke destroyer uses roughly 5,200 pounds of rare earth materials.

China’s dominance over rare earths is the Achilles heel of the US military.

Prof. Zhang Weiwei: ‘The rise of Trump is a result of American corporations making HUGE PROFITS in China🇨🇳 and the US🇺🇸 political system only distributing wealth to OLIGARCHS.’

‘Thousands of American companies, including Apple, Tesla and Microsoft all invest in China, those have their business interests in China.

The problem with this rise of Donald Trump and MAGA movement had to do with the American political system because these companies have made huge profits in the Chinese market…

Yet domestically their wealth distribution is so poor, is so in favour of the super-rich oligarchies, as a result we saw the rise of MAGA.

Now with this trade war and tech war against China and on the losing side for the United States, many of these high tech companies want to come to China to try to at least keep the last part or whatever share of their business interests in China.

They want to consolidate their interests in China. For instance China has not purchased any Boeings over the past nine years. So Boeing’s CEO visited China.’

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: ‘The US🇺🇸 thought China🇨🇳 was an impoverished rice-growing country, but its economy has grown 40x since 1980.

It’s a much bigger industrial power. It is technologically more advanced than the US in most sectors.’

China’s🇨🇳 Prof. Zhang Weiwei: ‘The quality of the EU, American, and NATO leadership, I must say in honesty, is VERY LOW.’

‘You could not envy this kind of political system. 15 years ago I debated with Professor Fukuyama, he said China needs political reform. I said, both China and the United States need political reform…

But you need MORE political reform. I said at that time, if you do not carry out substantial political reforms, you are going to elect a leader worse than George W. Bush. It turned out to be true.’

—Prof. Zhang Weiwei, Former Translator for Chinese Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping, and Director of Fudan University’s China Institute

Trump DOUBLES DOWN on saying he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations as motivation to make a deal with Iran:

"It's a perfect statement. I'll make it again. Everybody agrees."

The leadership class in the US has reached ‘to hell with the American people’ levels.

Prof. Zhang Weiwei: ‘China’s🇨🇳 position is very clear, we should open the Strait of Hormuz. But the cause of this whole crisis is the war launched by the United States and Israel, they are responsible for this event and its consequences.

At the same time, China is on extremely good terms withIran and the Gulf states, they are all strategic partners. So we really from the bottom of our heart, hope for good relations, reconciliations between Iran and the Gulf states.’

🚨 Prof. Richard Sakwa: ‘We are witnessing the TWILIGHT of the US-led unipolar order, as the Atlantic West loses power, it’s going BESERK.’

‘Unipolarity in the United States has begun to give way to unilateralism, which isn't much better. What we're witnessing is the twilight of that model of world order — what Russians call the collective West, I call the political West and others call it the Atlantic West.

That whole model of world order, established after 1945, is now giving way to multipolarity — but multipolarity is only a symptom. It is not a world order in itself.

The alternative order is a vision in conformity with the norms of the international system: the United Nations, international law, the whole framework established after 1945 — which was consistently challenged by the Atlantic West. And as the Atlantic West loses power, it is going berserk.’

—Prof. Richard Sakwa, Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Kent and author of The Putin Paradox on the latest episode of New Order.
