North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Russian president Vladimir Putin, and China’s Xi Jinping have created a global sensation. Set to appear together at a Beijing military parade, Xi scores big in his bid for international clout.

 

Xi is showcasing China's diplomatic muscle, striving to solidify its role as an influential player while US president Donald Trump wrestles with tariffs that have shaken economic tides. Now, with a potential meeting with Putin on the horizon, Xi is making waves that highlight China's growing diplomatic sway.

 

Kim Jong Un's unexpected participation signifies unique strategic positioning. Recently, Trump expressed the desire for another meeting with Kim, though previous attempts fell flat despite world-shaking summits.

 

Now, Xi stands poised to show his hand, revealing his influence over Kim and Putin in the intricate geopolitical landscape.

 

The parade, marking 80 years since Japan's World War Two surrender, doubles as a platform for Xi. With whispers of Trump's visit to the region in October, a face-off between the two global powerhouses looms, covering topics from tariffs to TikTok's US market future and the war in Ukraine, reported the BBC.

 

Xi’s recent interactions with both Kim and Putin paint a complex picture ahead of any possible US-China talks. Russia and North Korea, often shunned by the West for military pursuits, find opportunities in Xi’s court. For Kim, Beijing's embrace is historic, his last parade visit dating back to 1959. The visit underscores North Korea's reliance on Chinese trade and aligns Kim with international movers, including Indonesia and Iran.

 

China, cautiously positioned in the Ukraine conflict, has been accused by the US and allies of indirectly aiding Russia. However, signs of strengthened Beijing-Pyongyang relations complicate the narrative, contrasting earlier speculation of cooling ties as Kim and Putin bonded.

 

Xi's engagement solidifies leverage over Washington, with US-China trade discussions teetering on uncertainty. Xi, historically aiding Trump’s overtures to Kim, could once more bind these threads, though possibilities remain unpredictable. As diplomatic chess unfolds, the intricate power balance leaves one pondering the potential of a future summit featuring Xi, Putin, Kim, and Trump.

On the one hand they're probably all laughing at Trump and how easy it is to manipulate him.

 

On the other hand, they are wondering how they, too, can gather a gaggle of groveling, weak, Beta sycophants as unctuous and obsequious as Trump's Carnival People Administration.

Awww, look at poor Donald sitting all by himself in the corner, nobody invited him.

With his legendary level of hubris, arrogance, idiocy, and lack of vision Trump is opening a huge window for China and encouraging BRICS to become more powerful by the day. 

 

American influence was already on the decline and has been for a long time, but Trump is now convincing the world that the US is not as great as they might have thought it was, and he is pushing many nations into opposite directions, and into less reliance on an "ally" who is undependable, unreliable and not trustworthy. 

 

Disaster Don. Dumb and dumber. 

 

 

Trump is like the ugly girl at the high school dance.

Perhaps just a communist thingy.......

Three men with small "packages" trying to act tough, meanwhile, their people are suffering and their armies suck on the battlefield.

Your Trump hatred prevents you from seeing that all the nice men surrounding Xi, Kim and Vlad would give their right nutsack to have the freedom to be a sycophant who (if he could chose) would be able to change party without sacrificing a nutsack.

 

Maybe you prefer the Commie way of castration?  At least that choice is open to you in the US of A....

The topic title seems to be a bit incomplete, since Modi and 20 other world leaders will be at the meeting.

The summit will also mark the first visit to China by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi in seven years — a signal of New Delhi’s deep frustration with Washington over Trump’s tariff war. Modi and Xi are due to meet on Sunday.

In addition to Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Xi will be joined by about 20 other leaders at this year’s summit, which will be the SCO’s biggest yet, according to Chinese Communist party media outlet Qiushi. They include Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as well as UN secretary-general António Guterres. Chinese state media said Xi would host a banquet for the leaders and bilateral meetings. The participants will also issue a joint declaration.

More importantly : no euros !

Last time N Korea leader attended the Chinese military parade in Beijing 66 years ago.  That's was Young Kim grandfather going  during China Mao era. 

In the late 1950's period,   China was of course very, very poor and N. Korea just had a big 3-year war on their soil in early 1950's. needless to say struggling very  badly. 

 

Both China and N. Korea are Communist States,  then and now. 

Well, after 6.5 decades,  the Chinese had risen to whatever they are today  and N Korean has been   still poor.  What a sharp contrast. 

 

Those thinking and labelling  "'commies"  with derogation and bad-mouthing intent are just living in denial of facts and reality.
