It has been years since Maduro last visited China. Not sure how much Venezuela has repaid China but it does look like Maduro might be able to secured some loans from China this time.

After getting snub of chasing Xi for a talk in order to have a photo-ops, Trudeau still hasn't learned to be a statesman like his father. Act like a man before people take you seriously.

First get his wife to take him seriously before asking his country taking him seriously.

Lets say an estimated cost of 15 trillion dollars and to be completed by 2120

That is pretty cheap considering 2120 USD inflation.

It's fairly clear that Biden planned to meet Xi as part of his re-election campaign. That was why he sent those officials. He wanted to show himself meeting big world leaders and looking strong against Xi. It was the same strategy Trump played with Kim. Maybe China even played along.

However, Xi isn't interested in Biden's re-election campaign, especially since Biden continued his sanctions. Xi won't come to the G20. Xi won't come to APEC either. This is because the USA sanctioned Hong Kong's leader coming to APEC - which is illegal according to APEC rules.

Next year Biden has to visit Taiwan and sanction the C919 for his re-election. So they won't talk next year.

It looks like Xi will only physically meet with Biden once in his term or perhaps presidency.

Talk is cheap. Kerry should know better. Many of the mainstream media in the US, such as the WSJ, have sold their souls to the oil oligarchies.

BIDEN AND THE LEADERS OF INDIA, SAUDI ARABIA AND THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES HOPE TO ANNOUNCE A MAJOR JOINT INFRASTRUCTURE DEAL ON SATURDAY THAT WILL CONNECT GULF AND ARAB COUNTRIES VIA A NETWORK OF RAILWAYS - AXIOS.

Of course it's just pie in the sky. However, it's interesting to see some Westerner's attitude about China's HSR system, now that US wants to build it. Notice that Patrick Chovanec is one of those who has been predicting China's impending real estate doom in the past 20 or so years.

Anybody notice recently that the media is has had a multi-fold increase on China's economy is doomed narratives? I wonder why...?

You are not the only who is scratching the head, especially this year China has turned the tables and has become a powerhouse of the auto industry, one of the most important industries.

Doctor ‘euthanizes’ woman with pillow in (Belgium) – media​

A terminally ill Belgian woman was ‘euthanized’ by suffocation with a pillow by a doctor after lethal drugs she requested to be administered to her to voluntarily end her life proved to be insufficient, according to reports by Belgian media.

Local media outlets Sud Info and RTL reported on Wednesday that a 36-year-old woman from the Oupeye municipality in Liege opted to undergo euthanasia in March 2022, just months after being diagnosed with terminal cancer and after her condition had severely deteriorated.

The process – which is legal in Belgium – involved a doctor and two nurses visiting the home that the woman shared with her husband and young daughter to oversee the procedure. The woman’s family members left the home as they did not wish to witness the death of their loved one.

However, according to Sud Info, the process did not go as planned. When the cocktail of drugs failed to have the desired effect, the doctor allegedly used a pillow to suffocate the woman to end her life. A post mortem examination showed signs of suffocation, 7sur7 reported.

“What happened is not euthanasia,” Belgian politician and doctor Jacques Brotchi said to RTL Info. “Such a definition of this terrible situation devalues the gesture of euthanasia, which accompanies a person to the end without pain.”

It is just another setup to allow Biden to throw some new sanctions afterwards or give the senile guy a chance to make up a new story like "i stared in Xi's stone cold killer eyes and told him AMURICA"S BACK!!!! USA USA USA!!!"
