Rose seed diplomacy

As far as China is concerned, the announced visit to Washington, whenever it comes, is part of China's accommodation strategy. In recent months, Beijing has been sending signals that it wants less ideological confrontation and more economic development. Xi Jinping is increasingly personally engaged in contacts with large private Chinese entrepreneurs, including those who were previously pushed out of the foreground. This indicates that the priority is once again economic growth. If that assessment is correct, China will try to achieve stable competition with Trump and prevent a new economic escalation

President Vučić is on what he says is a historic visit to the Republic of China. In the regime media, this visit took on epic proportions, almost like the work of Marco Polo Million, which they say was tied to a pillar on the Rialto Bridge in Venice so that those interested could read it.
