NEW en route to Rio:
Starmer confirms he’s meeting Xi on Monday
Says his attempted thaw with China is aimed at driving economic growth in Britain — a major pivot from Tory predecessors
But it puts him firmly at odds with Trump
And leaves big questions on national security

China is the wealthiest country in the world and in all likelihood the most “powerful” in a general sense.
These faggots in the West want a war with the Chinese, they want to destroy their government and replace it with homosexuals and women and then flood them with infinity niggers.
But they have to act like they’re not doing that.
Keir Starmer will become the first UK prime minister in six years to meet the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, promising to turn the page on UK-China relations by building “a pragmatic and serious relationship”.
Starmer and the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, have been pursuing a thawing of relations with the world’s second-largest economy on pragmatic grounds, suggesting that the UK cannot achieve its growth ambitions without better terms with China.

Starmer will meet the Chinese president on Monday in Rio de Janeiro at the G20 summit, a meeting of world leaders that is likely to be marked by divisions over the climate crisis and Ukraine.
No British prime minister has met Xi since Theresa May visited Beijing in 2018 in the midst of a trade push during Brexit negotiations, though Boris Johnson spoke to the Chinese president during the pandemic.
Since then, relations have significantly cooled because of cyber threats, a human rights crackdown in Hong Kong and the sanctions against British MPs.

In remarks before his meeting with Xi, Starmer sought to head off gloomy predictions for the summit, at which there will be a number of world leaders who are facing election defeat. Additionally, Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, has said he will not attend the summit, but his foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, will be there.
“It is in the UK’s best interests to engage on the global stage – whether that’s building strong and fruitful partnerships with our closest allies or being frank with those whose values differ from our own,” Starmer said.
The prime minister expects to meet at least eight world leaders in one-to-one discussions in Rio.
Speaking to reporters en route to the summit, Starmer underlined the need for a realistic approach, saying it was important that he met Xi and stressing the potential economic benefits – without mentioning the potential security risks to better relations.
These people thought they were going to turn Hong Kong into an Anus Powerhouse inside of China. They’re really mad it didn’t work out for them.
I guess it’s time to move on, however.
