.- president xi jinping.ent xi jinping. many think they came from i president xi jinping. many think they came from a i president xi jinping. many i think they came from a rival political backings in terms of li keqiang coming up through the chinese commonest use lead and xijinping coming from a slightly different group of folks known as princelings. —— chinese communist youth league. there were various representations at the highest levels of leadership. li keqiang was seen as close to the former chinese president hu jintao, and being one of his main proteges. so a lot of speculation, especially early on in xijinping's speculation, especially early on in xi jinping's tenure, xi jinping are essentially moving past li keqiang to take the top leadership role. and then xi jinping being a major leader, looking to have full control over the reins of power, questions about whether that was shifting roles that are traditionally leveraged by the premier, in particular when it comes to the economy. when li keuuian com

it seems to me that xi jinping is preparing for war. and that may seem absurd to this audience and i may seem like unsophisticated group from the midwest for saying that, but we tend to underestimate the probability of these things. roger forced me to teach a class on the korean war last month, and it was a really rewarding experience. ipic about the time we were in, we had just one world war ii, massive victory, it economy was going gangbusters, the sentiment was bring the boys home, all of a sudden we had to deal with this new threat in the form of the soviet union. because of diplomatic missteps, because we decimated our own military and civilian nightstick, we stumbled into a conflict on the korean peninsula for which we were not prepared and we lost 36,000 americans in a war that was largely forgotten. that is a bad outcome we should seek to avoid something similar from happening in the present day. the reason i have this on my mind is because there's a cult of the korean war right now in china. xi jinping talks about it. chinese s

yet another change in xi jinping's cabinet positions.idely expected after what was announced last week as the new communist party chief, he is likely to spearhead as i alluded to, spearhead dare i say at least a plan from beijing to diffuse local government debt levels at the provincial level. shery: let's talk about those other announcements that you alluded to. former defense minister and foreign minister as well. >> qin gang we knew he was removed but now he's at his last title removed as well in a flurry of announcements from beijing. the one we didn't know about was the man on the right, the defense minister confirmed now that he has been ousted from his position as the top general in the pla. he has been removed as state counselor, something we expected when he left public view since august. i asked directly this question to nicholas burns last week in beijing, he is the u.s. ambassador, whether he knew about the fate of li qiang food which he said he didn't. and i said is this given opportunity for the u.s. and china to resume mil

xi jinping invited the leaders of 130 countries of the world to participate. war criminal vladimir putin has already arrived in beijing. as noted by the chinese media, the president of serbia, oleksandr vucic, the president of kazakhstan, kasim jomart tokayev, and the prime minister of hungary, viktor orban, who became the sole leader of ye at the summit, also came. representatives of the taliban are also expected at the forum. the verkhovna rada failed to vote on withdrawing from local budgets income tax on the incomes of individuals withheld by the military. only three votes were missing. this collection is the main source of income for local budgets. due to the full-scale invasion, the number of military personnel and their salaries increased. and this led to an increase in community budgets and numerous scandals over tenders for improvement and reconstruction. the government proposed to temporarily remove the military pddf from local budgets and transfer it to a special fund the state budget, from which funds will be allocated for the purchase of drones an

plus, xi jinping meets u.s. congressional leaders facing criticism for china's stance on the middle east conflict. >> look at how u.s. futures are trading in the asian session, not a lot of movement after we saw the s&p 500 gained ground in the new york session. we did have energy companies really leading today given that oil prices were higher in the new york session. we are holding at $86 per barrel and they jumped more than 5%. we continue to watch the implications of a wider conflict in the middle east. although the u.s. has said that it sees no evidence right now, at least, of any direct participation by iran in attacks by hamas on israel. we are really digesting some comments coming from a couple fed officials that may allude to a more cautious approach to policy given higher long-term treasury yields. we did not have cash markets open today because of a holiday, but take a look at this chart. we had treasury futures climbing, it was that flight back to safety, we saw the same moves in european rates. and

xi jinping's grip.just strengthens xi jinping's a-ri. ., ., �* just strengthens xi jinping's grip. i mean, i wouldn't say no real power- — grip. i mean, i wouldn't say no real power. he _ grip. i mean, i wouldn't say no real power. he was _ grip. i mean, i wouldn't say no real power. he was the - grip. i mean, i wouldn't say no real power. he was the person j real power. he was the person supposedly in charge of the economy. and when he said things, it mattered. the problem is he would often say stuff publicly and question the statistics gathered in china, the gdp, saying to people how flawed it was. he said at one point he would look at electricity consumption instead. i imagine this would have driven some communist party officials crazy. how could you question the way we do things? and yet, he certainly was sidelined, because at times, he would make a declaration and it's as if the rest of the party, those upper echelons, would just ignore it. so there he was, trying to move forward and do good things

and, as putin boasted, chatted for three hours with xi jinping himself, about this and other things,r lytvyn, co-chairman of the ukrainian -chinese business council, former ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to china in 1999-2001. glory to ukraine, mr. ambasar, we congratulate you. glory to heroes. well, we understand, yes, putin needed a visit to sitzenpin both for courage and in order to, so to speak, strengthen russia's annexation or russia's transformation into a raw material. datok of china, yes, but the key story is xi jinping's position in geopolitics and attempts to calm putin's aggression against us, or vice versa, will he play along with putin. you may have heard some new additional messages as a result of the russian dictator's visit to the heavenly capital? well, i wouldn't dare to say that i heard or felt some new messages. i want to give you comments. by the service of the french international radio, regarding this visit and talks with the president of the people's republic of china, russian president vladimir putin, who for a cargo in the war, it i

and what role did xi jinping prepare for putin? china's expansion is so slow, but very sure.ther beijing will supply moscow with weapons against ukraine. one belt. the way is xi jinping's global economic initiative, on which a trillion dollars have already gone, it was aimed at building infrastructure around the world so that goods from china reach different continents without hindrance and vice versa. it was obvious that such globalization would attract countries and companies into the chinese orbit, and would also increase the influence xi jinping in the world. the belt and road has become not only an economic, but also a political platform from which the leader of the people's republic of china needs signals. and this time, against the background of the escalation in the middle east, our war, as well as the intensification of confrontation around the world, the chinese... the summit attracted special attention, because it is now that the fate of humanity is being decided, in which the global south can play a decisive role, which it will be , how it will directly affect ukr

. ♪ ♪ haidi: president xi jinping is set to open the third forum.lagship initiatives future uncertain as the economy slows. stephen engle is on the ground in beijing and a lot has changed in the last few months but certainly from the original vision and establishment of the initiative. >> this year the 10th anniversary of the belt and road initiative is a coroner's an of the president. five years ago was the last time they held the forum in beijing. there is lots of optimism but the world has changed tremendously and the chinese economy has changed dramatically. debt loads have increased, the slowing economy has a weight on this initiative. we are likely to see a scaled-back forum here. it's only going to be tomorrow. today will be the ceo conference where there will be a number of member nations and ceos including world leaders trying to look at renegotiation of debts or projects. there will be hands out. the president is here looking for one billion u.s. dollars from the chinese to reinvigorate some stalled financing all of infrastructure projects

way, i don't like the image that china tweeted out of this and that was schumer in a half bat of xi jinpingi'm -- half bow to. cheryl: xi. to xijinping. maria: what is the image specifically, schumer bowing to xi jinping. >> there's a still image. you just saw a video portion of it of schumer in the half bow when he met xi jinping. i don't know what it is for americans but they just can't help but showing that they are supine when they meet the chinese leader. maria: this is just one more trip on four other trips the administration has taken to you beijing to try to improve relations i guess, gordon. what is the point of all of this as the communist party keeps sending massive signals of aggression whether it be the surveillance balloon or the bullying of our ships and planes and yet we keep going back there. >> yeah. the administration has shown desperation to try to establish a communication channel with a regime that has no interest in sharing the planet with us, which has said for decades, for yearses has been planning to go to war on america and with fentanyl that's been killing americ

we heard from xi jinping and the successes. but given the death crises around the world -- debt crises around the world and china struggling with its own debt crisis, should there be caution as far as lending to the developed world that is indebted? >> i think i would be careful in characterizing china in the debt crisis. i do not think it is reaching a crisis stage so far. in terms of china letting two countries along the belt and road initiative, i think china has been downplaying its capability of providing all the financing capabilities to belt and road projects. i think china is also re-freezing belt and road for a much longer term. i think things are changing in terms of the narrative and the substance related to the belt and road initiative. >> he is hosting vladimir putin and trying to engage with the united states, talking about china not being in favor of bifurcation in the world. how important is it to get china and the united states talking again? >> i think things are improving at the moment. i think present a she

can we expect that subsequent _ the us -- xi jinping. that subsequent meeting _ the us -- xi jinping. can we expect that subsequent meeting to - the us -- xi jinping. can we expect that subsequent meeting to lead i the us -- xi jinping. can we expect that subsequent meeting to lead to any kind of rapprochement and china relaxing those expert curbs on graphite or the us allowing those highly technical ai chips to head across to china again? unfortunately not. ithink across to china again? unfortunately not. i think we _ across to china again? unfortunately not. i think we have _ across to china again? unfortunately not. i think we have had _ across to china again? unfortunately not. i think we have had the - across to china again? unfortunately not. i think we have had the trade i not. i think we have had the trade war kicked off by president trump and we are now firmly into a tech war with really the us leading on these largely ai semiconductor chip —related moves and china being quite passive really. they are in a relatively vulnerable

preparations are being made for this visit, and it seems that it will take place after all, and xi jinpingthe leader of china, should have more trump cards in his pocket, so i think , that putin's visit is an additional trump card and he was given a really specific role on this form, we saw that he was on the right in all the photos and a lot of time was allocated to him. for a speech as much as 10 minutes immediately after shijin pin, then it seems to me that it also has a meaning, so hidden. and tell me, you can say that biden should act as the leader of the free world, sidzimpin as the leader of the unfree world, that's how it is, well, well, and i don't think we 're really witnessing, yes, this de facto period of the cold war, yes, the escalation, it's already happening , and he has, xi jinping has many of his geopolitical ambitions, and this is the same, the forum showed that he has honed himself these two days with those leaders who support his global leadership, who do not criticize his ambitious initiative, the belt and road, who support his, say, desire to spread, perhaps his infl

can this statement by mcconnell be taken as a kind of warning to xi jinping, or a plea for the leaderchina to say: "we have nothing to do with this axis of evil", because to enter this axis of evil means to have. problems with the united states of america. yes, the senator is right, because all these countries, they, their actions are mutually coordinated, and they help each other in one way or another. we see diplomatic measures, or provision of ammunition, drones, etc. division by flags, technologies, yes, everything, the whole world sees it, and it is clear, now it is important, in my opinion, precisely to help ukraine defeat russia, if, when russia is defeated, then it will be clear, in particular for china, and for others, for west, for example, and there will also be a clear signal to iran that iran. cannot rely on russia, providing it with its weapons. and that's why for me the main point here is help ukraine. general, a bipartisan congressional commission has concluded that a conflict between the united states of america between china and russia is possible between the years 2

xi jinping has been studied a lot. maybe a contribution between the fact that to achieve rejuvenation you need a strong economy but you don't want to take any risk. you are ready to crush some of the private sector as well as you did with minority and -- on the protest, i think it was very difficult. the protest was very local. unrest -- most of all i think it is a systemic struggle. in beijing after a lockdown of such a scale it provoked a real difficulty. we ask if it was -- cities completely overwhelmed. the protests, they were of a limited scale. >> good answers from my two colleagues. it is hard to add something fresh and new to it. i follow from kevin's point. i think the question we have to keep asking ourselves is what is the legitimacy, what is the legacy? legitimacy, party and relations to its people. the legacy, that xi jinping would like to leave behind. the social compact of the past that has been successful for china is changing. the unbridled promise this generational way better than the previous generat

>> xi jinping and china, they have come to get a situation. xi jinping wants to show has good relationship with putin, with kim jong-un but she doesn't want to develop the relations with both countries because of the images. but china really wants to improve relationship with the united states. and he wants to take advantage of this apec meeting in november if he joined this meeting and he really wants the biden, he wants to relax or that some sections to china. xi jinping doesn't find the kind of possibility, that's why he wants to make negotiation with that states that i'm going to go or not. but he knows united states really wants to invite him to come to apec, but xi jinping wants to make a deal with united states. if i go there then you have to relax your sanctions to us. without that kind of present i cannot participate. that is what he wants to show an g20 meeting he didn't go there. one of the case he wants to show to the united states, i really cannot go. so i think there is against their plane between the united states and china. >>

delegation meant that aging and xi jinping had a message to be sent and it was probably very scripted event as well as one with clear objectives on improving the u.s.-china relationship. the issue between hamas and israel obviously, through those plans, perhaps in disarray because of chuck schumer's insistence to prod xi jinping to change the messaging coming out of the ministry of foreign affairs that came out on sunday that condemned the attack and reaffirmed china's support for an independent palestinian state did not mention hamas by name or make any reference to the loss of life. as we heard from chuck schumer, the democratic senator from new york saying essentially the ministry of foreign affairs spokesperson by monday did change the wording of their statement after schumer's objections condemning the loss of life. but again, it is a thorny issue because again, chuck schumer urged xi jinping in that 80 minute milling -- meeting to use influence for perhaps iran to influence actions in the middle east and in schumer's words, de-escalate the conflagration in the middle east. a lot

xi jinping has been speaking very glowingly all week in beijing about the belt and road initiative, asight imagine, he was talking about the bri transcending cultures, civilisations, stages of development and the many ways he is talking about projects like this stop whoosh, southeastern asia's first high—speed rail line, a top speed 350 kilometres per hour, meaning there is no trait outside china that is faster than this. but it's not been without controversy like a lot of chinese backed bri projects are so what better way to find out than take a ride for myself? this is the fastest train in all of southeast asia. it is certainly faster than any train in the us or the uk. right now, i'm injakarta, and i'm heading to bandung. if we were driving it will take about three hours, but with whoosh it would take about 45 minutes. this was not supposed to be have built by china. japan with their famous system whether heavy favourites to win the bed and they said they'd finance the project, with basically 0% interest, but they needed a guarantee from the indonesian government that they'd step in

china's president xi jinping takes centrestage in beijing today.ative, an ambitious plan to enhance china's soft power by building a series of infrastructure and energy networks. it's a high—profile event, with russia's president vladimir putin, along with leaders of developing nations from around the world in attendance. president's xi's big moment comes at a time when his leadership is tested domestically in getting china's economy back on track and internationally, in navigating a tense geopolitical environment. eswar prasad is an economist cornell university, and a former head of the imf�*s china division.

in 2021, xi jinping announced expansion toward small, more beautiful projects. with 152 signatories to the program, china traded upward of $19 million in the first decade with its partners. >> the european union has agreed to reform its electricity market to shield consumers from volatile fossil fuel prices and accelerate a shift towards renewables. the plan was first proposed by the european commission back in march after a ban on russian gas imports in response to the war in ukraine triggered an energy crisis. a spat between france and germany over one part of the plan has held up implementation for months. parents wanted to be able to spend the money on upgrading its nuclear power plant, but berlin worried it would lead to unfair competition. the compromise deal reached on tuesday by eu energy ministers added conditions to soothe germany's concerns. meanwhile in france, a carmaker unveiled a new low electric model to take on cheap chinese rivals. the rollout of the new c3 suv comes days after the european commission formally ignored and anti-subsidy investiga

china's president xi jinping takes centrestage in beijing today. he will addressing leaders who have gathered to mark the tenth anniversary of the belt and road initiative, an ambitious plan to enhance china's soft power by building a series of infrastructure and energy networks. it's a high—profile event, with russia's president vladimir putin, along with leaders of developing nations from around the world in attendance. president's xi's big moment comes at a time when his leadership is tested domestically in getting china's economy back on track and internationally, in navigating a tense geopolitical environment. eswar prasad is an economist cornell university, and a former head of the imf�*s china division. speaking to me earlier, he said the belt and road initiative had achieved mixed results for china. the belt and road initiative was china's gamble to again achieve political and democrat influence, as well as extend dock expand its reach, and build transport and other infrastructure that would link china with many of these other countries. no

xi jinping, why are you competing about who is more chummy with xi jinping?ood point. is that xi jinping? oh, i said -- who cares. not like i'm going to meet him anytime soon. judge, it's true come he can travel all over the world but california is still a mess. >> jeanine: california still a mess. more people moving out of california than any other state. almost population is the highest in the country. and the drug overdoses are at an all-time high. looting and robberies running rampant, and even the nicest towns, people are getting their butts taxed. nobody cares about that. this guy is either delusional or the smartest guy i have ever bet. you see that voter right there? he is going to use that in his campaign. i don't know if you know something about joe that none of us know, but this is all repairing for what he wants to do. i mean, obviously, the guy wants to run for president. i got to say one more thing. xi jinping and buy you. you are so cheap. you are so cheap that you would sell american values and american workers and fossil fuels and factory wor

pretty powerful photo there, he and xi jinping. is governor newsom upsetting high-level democrats here in this country? >> well, you've got to believe some are going to be upset with him, that's for sure. the fact is that he's doing things that they're not. >> other california governors have made trips to china, including arnold schwarzenegger. what's the goal here for newsom, aside from politics, but maybe for business? >> well, officially, the idea is to go ahead and see if we can continue the close relationship. we know that governor newsom sets a bar when it comes to climate change. china is far behind. and while the two of them had a nice chat about it today, the fact is china is producing two more coal reactive plants every week. year. that's not exactly climate change. there are lessons to be learned. we do believe that xi jinping will be here in the bay area in a few week, possibly to meet with president biden. maybe again governor newsom and kamala harris. larry, thank you for your time. we'll be back in a moment, check in

shery: a bumpy road to be expected biden-president xi jinping summit. let's get a check of where we stand markets wise. it looks like we are getting futures pointed higher, this after stocks fell for a second week in the u.s. last week touching their lowest level since may. the s&p 500 did rise friday, but the index done 10% from its july peak and correction territory. investors punishing companies whose profit outlook is worsening, and wc the geo political tensions as well, yields falling for a second week, rent crude -- brent crude coming up slightly down .71%. gold has been rising, it is about $2000 per ounce, and volatility in yields and oil and gas markets as well. 10 year yield at 483. we will be looking at safe havens like the u.s. dollar, treasuries, maybe the swiss franc for a little bit of a clue on where markets think they should be going with central banks meeting as well. vonnie: israel sent troops and tanks and what it calls the second phase of a defense. prime minister netanyahu says this stage will be long and difficult. let's get more.

governor newsom meeting with chinese president xi jinping. how is governor newsom positioning himself just in case president biden doesn't run next year? >> just in case. and maybe in 2032. he is only 55 years old. and these days that's awfully young in presidential politics. look, we know he has a domestic record, and he points to climate change of one of his best examples of domestic record. california far outleads any other state and has become the national standard. now he goes over to china, and by the way, he stopped at israel, as you know the other day. and now he is trying to go ahead and build together his international portfolio. he picks a great time. he picks a great time because china and the united states have been at loggerheads the last five or six years. it began with covid-19. president trump then blamed china. and the pacific ocean mess, everybody grabbing for that land. china seems to think it's theirs. and then of course the most recent example, china's behavior with russia in the crane war. so here is newsom. he steps in

a meeting with chinese leader xi jinping is scheduled for tomorrow. we talk in more detail about this trip with the president of the ukrainian association of china studies. welcome hunger joins us welcome glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, good evening. in your opinion, whether indeed, the purpose of putin's visit to the cia was a forum, or is it possible that there are some other underwater, let's say, desires? this is a forum, this is a historic event for china, and many countries have been invited, and so on. initiative, the central strategy of china's foreign policy, and they really prepared for this event for a very long time, the list of guests was carefully prepared, and not everyone who wanted even made it, and the fact that only the presidents of hungary and serbia are present at this forum indicates that sidinpin oh these holidays did not want to hear criticism, yes, we see the geography is chosen very logically, these are china's neighbors. these are the countries of asia, these are the countries of africa , latin america, russia arrive

vladimir putin arrived in china on a rare international trip for talks with xi jinping as the u.s. presses beijing to reduce tensions in the middle east. let me bring you breaking news the corporate space. we are getting numbers out of ericsson. the swedish telecom maker has third quarter net sales come in at 64.47, will call it 5 billion swedish krona. he got perhaps a number that they already announced a 5.2% drop previously with 64.5 billion what they announced last week. this is a drop on the 60 billion a year earlier. you are seeing headlines come around their adjusted gross margin. it is 39.2%. the ebitda margin dropped as well. we are waiting for the fourth quarter margin as well especially as we go into a tough time. we are seeing similar market trends for the fourth quarter and headlines across as well. the thing that is a sticking point is last week in addition to pronouncing the earnings they talked about the impairment charge related to linage. it is 32 billion and they are sticking with that when it comes to their overall earnings. we will bring you more analysis as we

we are also watching president xi jinping singh the belt and road initiative has a golden decade aheado reinvigorate president xi's flagship infrastructure project 10 years after it was launched. our chief north asia correspondent stephen engle joining us now from beijing. what is on the agenda today. stephen: it is a big day this is the official opening of the third belt and road forum and it will be held across town at the great hall of the people where xi jinping will give a speech at 10:00 local time. followed by a speech by vladimir putin. we don't know exactly what they're going to say yet but i am sure that you gentlemen at some point when they retreat behind closed doors at about 11:30 after opening ceremonies will probably reaffirm their so called no limits partnership that they struck back in february of last year -- weeks before vladimir putin launched the war in ukraine. is it still a no limits partnership, that is the question. i'm not sure will get the answer to that other than he is here in beijing as the guest of honor and their friendship is cemented. they have met in

business community in shanghai they are also hoping to meet with chinese president xi jinping. foreigner ministry says it hopes quote united states will meet halfway, and do more things that are conducive to diagnose as if united states hasn't been doing that, joining me right now is 70th secretary of state of great country fox news contributor mike pompeo a pleasure to see you. thanks for being here. >> the great feedback with you this morning. >> i want your take on what can happen, with this group of senators going to china. we've already sent what three or four cabinet members they basically mocked us every time one time had nerve to feed and have janet yellen eat psychedelic mushrooms as if that is supposed to even be respectful no idea what she was thinking, having said that another conversation, what do you think can get accomplished from this trip. >> yeah. well, i hope no more mushrooms served but, more importantly more seriously i don't know what their purpose is i don't know what it is going to say, if they went there delivered a message to demonstrate resolve saying

. >>> and a potential meeting between joe biden and xi jinping is in the works. we'll tell you where and when it might take place. >>> continuing to ukraine, whose second largest city took a major hit from crush srussian missile. a three story residential building was destroyed in kharkiv and two more buildings damaged. nine woor woere wounded in the . and ukraine is also reporting massive grown attack on odesa. the drones set several vehicles on fire and damaged poor infrastructure on the danube river which ukraine uses for xw grain about ports. kyiv says a missile hit a village wednesday killing at least 51 people. it happened while they were holding awake for a fallen ukrainian soldier. president zelenskyy who attended a meeting of european leaders in spain pleaded for more air defenses. >> translator: i believe that today it is impossible to protect people especially during the winter except by air defense. to protect people who died absolutely tragically because of this inhumane terrorist attack. 50 civilians were killed during the funeral. russia does this

he is the most prominent guest of xi jinping during beijing. they are really bonded by the sheer grievances against the u.s. and their desire to shape a new world order without being led by the u.s.. that's why xi jinping emphasized the keynote speech in the opening ceremony of the belt and road for, him taking a swipe at the u.s. without naming, washington city this program is not about ideological confrontation. now they're about geo political bribery or so-called block politics. john? >> sounds interesting, steven. thank you. steven jiang in beijing. think that. appreciate you sir. the chaos in the u.s. congress, two weeks after republican ousted kevin mccarthy as speaker. the only candidate for the job is trump supporting, conservative republican, chip jordan. he is set to do the second vote in the coming hours, after losing the first vote on tuesday. lawmakers support him. cnn's manu raju has more in his reporting now in from washington. >> more than two weeks now, the house has been paralyzed among gop infighting. that initially literally

still to come, vladimir putin and xi jinping reunite in beijing. how their no-limits friendship is faring amid two major global conflicts. more on that after this. >>> welcome back, everyone. well, as u.s. president joe biden prepares to visit israel today, chinese president xi jinping is hosting other world leaders in beijing, including russian president vladimir putin. the two reportedly met earlier on the sidelines of a global infrastructure summit. both leaders address the crowd in an opening banquet, but all eyes were on the two presidents for any possible reactions to the conflicts in both the middle east and ukraine. and cnn's beijing bureau chief steven jung joins me now. good to see you, steven. what more are you learning about the putin-xi meeting, and what have we heard from the two lead source far? >> rosemary, we understand the meet ing is now over. the russian convoy has left the meeting venue, the great hall of the people. we're still waiting to hear more details. in the opening remarks xi jinping said this is their 42nd meeting sinc

what was the relationship like between li keqiang and president xi jinping?ey came from rival political backings in terms of li keqiang coming up through the chinese communist youth league, and xijinping coming from a slightly different group of folks known as princelings. it's common to have various representations at the highest levels of leadership. li keqiang was seen as close to the former chinese president hujintao, being one of his main proteges. so a lot of speculation, especially early on in xijinping's tenure, of xijinping essentially moving past li keqiang to take the top leadership role. and then obviously xi jinping being a major leader, looking to have full control over the reins of power, questions about whether that was shifting roles that are traditionally leveraged by the premier, in particular when it comes to the economy. when li keqiang retired earlier this year, he gave a retirement speech. there was a lot of commentary at the time, reading between the lines of what he said, that he'd been frustrated that he hadn't managed to carry out a

therefore, xi jinping said that china is ready to cooperate with the united states.e leader, both sides overcome their differences and work together to respond to global challenges, literally, by the way, not just there , you know, from some anonymous telegram of the cesspool, and this is the chinese foreign ministry and the reuters agency reports about it, xi said. that read and the united states can find the right way to understand each other is crucial to the peaceful development of the world and the future destiny of mankind, and china is willing to promote mutually beneficial cooperation with the united states based on the three principles, so mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation, properly managing differences , making joint efforts to solve global problems, well, the key task, in my opinion, is for xi jinping to become more actively involved, so to speak, in taming his russian vassal, well, for now the official communique is silent about this, so to speak, and it seems that turkey is going to meet sweden after all, or rather,

xi jinping uttered the following phrase in chinese style: i have thousands of reasons, i can tell you thousands of reasons why american-chinese relations must prosper and develop, i don't have a single reason... for which we would become states hostile to each other, a very interesting form, moreover, an amazing thing happened: just a few hours before this meeting, pin made a statement on events, on events in israel, and there it was common that we call for escalation, to find a peaceful solution , and so on, and schumacher pointed out: "why are you not at no..." i would like the chinese people to express their indignation at this topic with the monstrous atrocities that were accompanied by reit this terrorist group, and an amazing thing happened, sydynpin agreed to correct his statement, unlike russia, first of all he expressed sympathy with the victims and in the end, such behavior is absolutely unacceptable, nothing can be justified, and now everyone is waiting, waiting for a meeting... the participation of sinzinpin in the pacific, at the pacific summit, at the end of the month, a

xi jinping's meeting, if he goes to the united states with biden, and maybe they will normalize these relations, which have cooled down now and they, let's say, of course, they are an additional instability, and an additional factor that affects on all of us, that's why i don't think that russia can do something drastic, so dirty, but small things, of course, it's in their style, in the kegebi style, and actually, given the resources they have. mr. oleksandr, general budanov assumes that these regional or local wars may become part of a larger global war. what will happen to you in the event of such a war, if it happens, this war awaits the world redistribution of spheres of influence, the creation of a multipolar, as putin always says and repeats it, a multipolar world. will there still be two poles, a conditional civilization and a conditional group of countries, which we refer to the group of autocratic countries, well , you know, this is a million dollar question, as they say, and by and large, you can distinguish such two schools, opinions on the theory of international politics,

still helps putin to live in this difficult time, in your opinion, what is in these negotiations xi jinpingl bring to a meeting with biden, because their meeting is to take place in the united states of america in november, is putin still in a condition where he can talk with xi, well, at least on an equal footing, no, putin has definitely turned into a junior partner, so to speak a vassal of china, it is obvious, a well, to be honest, we have nothing to be happy about here . it is obvious that russia, indeed, for russia, china is such a lifeline to a certain extent, thanks to which they have the opportunity, they have a place to sell their raw materials, thanks to which they get access to certain technological goods and use them, including in the war against us , well, of course, this russia-china bond is heaven for us. but this is not news, i think that this whole war, when what, well, the full-scale invasion that started on february 24th, let's remember that before that, three weeks before that , there was a meeting between putin and... and a declaration of party friendship without as wi
