Nobody likes China. It’s just not easy being a totalitarian state anymore … not without being loved.
So China went to Iran and Saudi Arabia and made them join hands for a photo op. (Two days later, they were back to fighting.)
No one knew that Iran and Saudi Arabia hated each other, except for maybe Iranians and Saudi Arabians. It’s like saying the Togoians and Cameroonians hate each other … okay, so what’s your point? Every nation hates at least one other nation on this planet. Some of them fight, some don’t … yawn … is this photo op done yet?
But why did China do it? Because Ukraine and Russia don’t want them to play peace-makers, so the Chinese lost a photo op there. Imagine if a Chinese dictator won a Nobel Peace Prize! Such an idea makes Xi drool for honey. Old Jinping (hilarious in translation) needs to look good, since he’s only cute when his name is Winnie-the-Pooh. Or is that Whiner-the-Shit?
Anyway, another feeble attempt at China trying to make itself look less fascist on the world stage so that everyone will love them. After all, you catch more flies with honey … which Winnie realizes he must share (or pretend to, in the short run) if he wants all the nations of the world to jump happily into his honey pot before he digs in his paw and gorges himself on us all.
