Outcome of #Putin visit to #China in terms of economic agreements signed:
✅ Agreement on supplies of Russian topinambour and beef by-products, particularly beef cartilage and stomachs to China
✅ Creation of a new nature reserve “Land of big cats”
✅ Cooperation between TASS and Xinhua news agencies
❌ Construction of Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline was not agreed
To me, these indicate an extremely close and strategic partnership between China and Russia, especially the beef cartilages are going to change the course of the world 😂

Putin ist zu Besuch in China - beim engsten Partner und Verbündeten. Doch nicht alle Anliegen, mit denen der russische Staatschef nach Peking gereist ist, dürften für China so leicht zu erfüllen sein. Von Benjamin Eyssel.

Besuch in Peking: Warum Putin auf Xis Unterstützung hofft
Russlands Staatschef Putin reist nach China, um die "grenzenlose Partnerschaft" zu pflegen. Die hat Tücken: "Je destruktiver das russische Agieren, desto heikler die russisch-chinesischen Beziehungen", sagt Experte Hoppe.
The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post “largely failed to cover Trump’s plan to deport 11 million immigrants, among other extreme immigration policies, mentioning it in only 10% of all the articles Media Matters examined."
There is an intentional effort to cancel and re-write the established world order operating through the #un since #ww2.
Many nations and corporate media are aware of this effort and hedged their bets on the establishment when Trump became friends with characters like #Putin and #KimJongUn.
The gridlock in the #unitednations security council is on full display with two forces in a stalemate, waiting for the spark.
After 75 years of failure, one would imagine that a people would learn what works and what doesn’t, both from their own experience, as well as the experience of others.
