From Anchorage Si
- From Anchorage in Alaska there are 11,000 kilometers from Bali in Indonesia, which can be made without contact with the ground live. But more importantly, if a “barrier” (“wall”, perhaps “water barrier”) were to be placed between the two major powers today, it would have to be drawn somewhere.
But in US-China relations, Anchorage and Bali have a more precise connotation, don't think about it.
On 18 March, they met in the capital of Alaska, Anthony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State of the United States and National Security Adviser, respectively; and Yang Jiechi, Head of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, and Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Perhaps the day of tomorrow was a train crash that will be studied in diplomacy schools (and translation)... that did not win what seemed to have to have thirty one hand.

And pending this possible image, it is clear that Biden will accompany them in Blink and Sullivan. And that they will speak more than him. Just in case.
On the other side of the table are who and how they sit. 20. If Yang withdraws from the congress and becomes a member of Wang Yi Politburu, it is clear that this will be on one side of Xi. But the other one? You hear the name of Qin Gang, still Washington's ambassador, for the Foreign Affairs Ministerial post that Wang can leave free in the spring. And for Blink and Sullivan it wouldn't be nice news.
Attention to the Xi briefcase. And the translator.
The old continent has planted a trade war to China, where the European electric car market is about to be a historic and ridiculous failure. It is the fault of the Chinese, that European electric cars are twice as expensive as their own. What hurts them is that people here,... [+]
