Two failing economies combined to make one massive failing economy

The slobbering between these two leaders is uncomfortable to observe.

As Mano en Mano as they’ll be in the short run, there are historical wounds between these two neighboring countries which may manifest themselves in the long run. For now, however, I think Xi has the upper hand economically, which is typically the deciding factor in most conflicts.

Neither leader can be trusted by the US, and I don’t believe they truly privately trust each other.
