US-China spats rattle world, prompting calls for unity

U.S. President Donald Trump, center, walks by French President Emmanuel Macron, left, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, right, prior to a group photo of NATO leaders during a NATO leaders meeting at The Grove hotel and resort in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019.

“China is an important partner for us but also a competitor,” Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in a statement after a videoconference Friday with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi. Le Drian mentioned “mass arrests, disappearances, forced labor, forced sterilizations, the destruction of Uighur cultural heritage.” He said France has asked that the camps be closed.Trump’s ambivalence toward U.S. allies and flouting of diplomatic norms has alarmed France.

Washington is unhappy with South Korea’s desire to ease sanctions on North Korea to encourage disarmament and uneasy about its use of Huawei technology. Protesters have called for boycotts of Chinese goods and burned Chinese flags. They applauded the government’s ban on the popular Chinese video-sharing app TikTok and some other Chinese apps.

Why this season's antagonist is China, according to American elites.

tRump only concern is HIMSELF. Country what country? people what people? Oh people dieing, what people? If their not multimillionaires or billionaires they don't count. Law what laws? tRump A FAST TALKING MASS KILLER. MONEY MONEY MONEY I HAVE TO LINE MY POCKETS WITH MONEY tRump☠

Unity? This Cold War started years ago; either get on board or get out of the way because it’s here and it’s existential

Xi is ALLOWING Trump to use inflamitory language. He did BEG for help. Trump don't order dinner without checking with Putin & Xi. Individual1 TraitorInChief

'Tensions' which have all been initiated -on purpose- by the US bully, starting with tarrifs, 2/3 years of anti-Huawei lies, etc, and now a daily anti-China propaganda, yet most of our Western 'free press' will lie with a 'false balance' bias, obviously misrepresenting the facts

Thanks realDonaldTrump, thanks GOP

Nah I think once 45 is gone everyone in the world will be much happier and relations will immediately improve. Seriously it’s just him that’s messing things up.

solusnan1 I must admit that it is a really good distraction from everything else going on. stayfocused

trump couldn't diplomat his way through anything. Everything he touches turns rancid!!!

IF Trump hadn’t messed w/ China & took care of America’s business WE wouldn’t b entertaining n A— whipping. Buffalo lips w/ humming bird A— sad commentary🤨😳🧐

Leading the fight against Caronavirus didn't work. Provoking riots in the streets didn't work. Race and Religion bateing didn't work. Oh well, if all else fails, you can always start a war.

Tell the world will recovering from trump stupidity starting January 20 assuming the crook doesn’t steal the election

So much winning.

Maybe China could do something about election results 🤔 As we know Putin already promised to meddle again

The things incompetent one does for distraction .....

This breaks my heart. VoteJoeBidenToSaveAmerica

Does the world not feel anger over their citizens dying from Covid? Do they ignor who created Covid? China would have welcomed help, if were truely an accidental spred. Chinas defiance over Covid is evidence, of their total disrespect for citizens of other countries in the World.

All because of that SOB. No longer worried about him burning down America as much as I am concerned about him attempting to burn down the world.

There’s no good reason for this to be happening right now. It’s making an already unstable world even less stable.

I wouldn’t trust the Germans. China will soon be the next 20 th century Germany.

There Well be no unity as long as Donald Trump sits in the Whitehouse. That is the simple truth. He loves chaos and destruction. He's like King Midas with the golden touch...difference? Everything he touches turns to shit! Period

Fvk trump

I'm more worried about the Cold War between the United States and Europe. Who knew America would join the Axis of evil under Republicans?

All China has to do to end this is offer the Trump family some graft: a couple of trademarks, maybe buy some condos, and they can get whatever they want. Trump is also extorting countries to invest in Kushner co. Source: They've already been doing just that.

Don’t worry.Trump and the CCP,are still business partners.

It's trump, he ruins everything and no one wants to make any deals with him, China is waiting on new leadership because honestly, trump is an idiot.

Ask the Chinese folks what they think about the oppression they are under now and how complacency has worked for the last 30 years

Angela Merkel is weak and a stooge. She cares more about selling bmw to the Chinese market than human rights abuses and genocide committed by the aggressive CCP.

TrueFactsStated From China’s perspective Cold War 1.0 never ended. It just got “toned down” in order to soak the non-communist West of its technological superiority.

Vlad is smiling. His Kompromat is performing wonderfully. How many will die at the hands of this psychologically deranged and drug-addicted narcissist with a cult following?

Careful world, socialist Europe will side with their commie cousins over freedom and it’s economy.

Great media porn

Thanks Trump

Dump Trump! That's all anybody wants!

China 🇨🇳 is the most dangerous country Xi CCC

Time to do for America and stop being prostitutes for the world. Yes we have a responsibility as one of the greatest nations to ever live. But doesn’t mean we need to bend over! Keep it up Trump 2020

That's years of theft, stolen intellectual properties and abuse by China not to mention liberal corruption from JoeBiden BarackObama selling us out.

The Hawk-Dove Game aka a Game of Chicken. What's next? Prepare.

Quit a performance 😉”sleeping with the enemy”

Dear World - Ivanka's Chinese patents aren't and won't be in jeopardy, Chinese Communist Party members still stay at Trump properties, and Trump merchandise is still exempt from tariffs. When these things change, then it'll be time to be rattled. Signed, Common Sense.

Which is hilarious bekause how many of Murika's allies, that Trump has pissed off, will have our backs if the shit gets thick with Chyna

Its not a cold war its 'Trump's Temper Tantrum War' because everyone keeps picking on him and making fun of him. And its so 'unfair'!

Upset! But not suprised!

China is literally nazi germany now. Rounding up people in concentration camps, beating them, denying families visitation and sterilizing them all because of their religious and ethnic affiliation.

China needs USA. 🇺🇸 if they didn’t we would be living in a world where Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Chick Schummer & Newsom ruled the world. Oh wait, isn’t that what puppet Biden is running for? TheFive JesseBWatters greggutfeld FoxNews PressSec realDonaldTrump

А немецкий чиновник представляет чьи интересы?

Tensions between China and literally every country in the world are presently affected by covid.

FUCK 👏 CHINA 👏 INNA 👏 IS 👏 ASSHOE

I am sure Angela is shaking in her boots.....

Fuck a Cold War, go kinetic.

Tensions will reduce once Trump is gone

Only Germany feels troubled! Because they think about gaining immediate and dangerous benefits in China and don't have a long-term vision!

No we will accept only Peace right now! That’s all the world can manage is Peace!

Deadpool... not thinking properly. Rather than slapping silly A nation thats just gone through an industrial revolution; to be more aware of a virus that's essentially been engineered by the free world. The supreme leader of the fascist first world should be thinking 'roulette.'

So, we close the China Embassy because they were running a spying and espionage group out of it, and China is upset? Who the hell do they think they are?

When America sees a threat to their dominance you will be vilified. If America was smart they would arguing for the Uighur people. But we all now know Trump encouraged China to build 'labor camps'. America is only looking out for America. That's not the world we hoped for.

Cold is good, it's HOT I'm worried about.

So be it. We're tired of being taken advantage of. No more spying, or espionage. Goes for any other country as well.

Don't care what other countries think!

Trumpin vaali taktiikkaa,saada puolustajia itselleen,ei salaisuus.

I'm rather skeptical of this cold war 2.0, all the goods we consume are made in China, they're not impacted by tarriff since they're not paying a single dollar. I don't know but it smells funny to me.

The USA are slaves to China. Says so in the Bible. “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” Proverbs 22:7

Fake news 😂😂😂😂 your news is shit

Pretty sure the NATO-Russia tensions are Cold War II

Congratulations realDonaldTrump MAGA

It's where I grew up as a cold war kid. Doesn't scare me... On the other hand the kids in the streets would freak out. They don't know real war just video games of it.

Without German government and the American universities, China would never have become strong as it is today.

die neue Achse: Peking-Berlin ?

The markets should reflect this soon enough

We have to see our interest . And accordingly play our cards. China has become a threat to world peace..

Unity? China literally LIED TO THE WORLD about a pandemic that has resulted more than 600k deaths and brought the global economy to its knees. Is CCP writing articles for the AP now?

Trump’s art of distraction from his utter COVID-19 failure.

We won Cold War 1. The sequel looks Dope!

At this point, with our useless president, that's probably the direction we're headed. That's why we VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020 VoteBidenToSaveAmerica

Years in the making. How stupid are these people?

GERMANY IF YOU ARE LISTENING.....

Imagine being Liechtenstein during all of this.

I don’t think Germany are in any position to be talking about wars! I seem to remember they started one or two themselves!!!

we almost have that now between the US and Russia because of RussiaGate BS so you meant to say Cold War 3.0

Of course the Germans would say that lol

Mother Merkel has been in a cold war with her husband for 40 years. JK, is she even married? Barren for sure.

nothing like a good old fashioned international conflict to buck up those poll numbers

I’m strapped and ready just Incase. Lmk when it’s popping off . All it takes is one whistle and the hood will catch a fade with China

The joke here is too easy. Not gonna bother.

MYTH? DO YOU SEE ANTIFA? THESE ARE WHITE PEOPLE PROTESTING FOR VETS AND BLM. GET IT RIGHT!! I'm not defending the Chinese govt, but I don't think it's a great time to fight China. Remember how all of those drummers at the Bejing opening games were so precise & perfectly in sync? We can't get people to wear masks so they don't die & our president can't close an umbrella.

Biden will restore China to their rightful position over us. Because the CCP knows that Trump is a blathering idiot.
