AS DEFIANT circus performances go, it wasn’t too bad. “Invincible socialism” was the title of the show which North Korea had put on especially for the benefit of Xi Jinping, China’s president. Following a banquet with Kim Jong Un, the North’s dictator, on June 20th, Mr Xi was treated to fireworks, mass aerobics and a large flip-card image of his face produced by thousands of performers, all set to rousing music against a backdrop of Chinese and North Korean flags.
The latest shindig came a few days before the anniversary of the North’s invasion of South Korea in 1950, which started the Korean war, and ahead of Mr Xi’s planned encounter with Mr Trump at the G20 in Japan next week. The timing suggests that Mr Xi may be looking for leverage over America in the two countries’ deepening trade war.
According to Chinese state media, Mr Kim complained to Mr Xi about American intransigence, saying his country had not received “positive responses” from an unnamed party despite taking “many active measures to control tensions”, though he promised to remain “patient” with this mysterious foot-dragger for the time being.
What serious international issues can this North Korean dictator dicuss except war and nuclear weapons?
“China reminds America that, if it wants to rein in North Korea, it will need Chinese help...”
The issue is called America
I'll make it simple China: I'm gonna use you as a leverage in G20, you must have my back. NK: sure thing, as long as money keep flying in.
I wonder if they have ever discussed Kim's weight. 😎
What did you say is the address of your tailor? Sorry, I thought you meant my barber
The only international issue we discussed was our weights and BMI.
The Chinese have done what the Americans couldn't do by knowing how to contain the N.Koreans and now they are in alliance against America if she decides to play the Taiwan Card...Politics is different game all together than 'Monopoly'
And... What do you expect two leaders to do? Have a tea party with stuffed animals?
Like tips on suppressing dissent, making rivals disappear, etc
