After Xi Leaves U.S., Chinese Media Assail Strike on Syria

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/08/world/asia/china-xi-jinping-president-trump-xinhua.html

BEIJING — With President Xi Jinping safely out of the United States and no longer President Trump’s guest, China’s state-run media on Saturday was free to denounce the missile strike on Syria, which the American president told Mr. Xi about while they were finishing dinner.

Xinhua, the state news agency, on Saturday called the strike the act of a weakened politician who needed to flex his muscles. In an analysis, Xinhua also said Mr. Trump had ordered the strike to distance himself from Syria’s backers in Moscow, to overcome accusations that he was “pro-Russia.”

That unflattering assessment reflected China’s official opposition to military interventions in the affairs of other countries. But it was also a criticism of Mr. Trump himself, who Mr. Xi had hoped was a man China could deal with.

Last night I guessed that Xi had eaten his dinner, drunk his fill of wine, decided Dolt was not someone who could be dealt with intelligently, and got out of Dodge.

Sometimes I just hate being right.

I also agree with the Chinese, it was a stupid and futile thing to do.

I love the reporter who called it "Operation Pothole."

Remember Tibet? Yes, China, Tibet. You slaughtered monks and nuns, many are still in your prisons. China, YOU, kidnapped the next Dali Lama as a very young child. No one has seen or heard anything about this child since.

Oh... China you have so much blood on your hands.

I knew our shuckster President couldn't make a single deal with any nation. All that bravado about terrible deals, and this guy can't do jack squat.

I thought other nations would just laugh him off, and that seems to be what's happening. I don't even know that he's really trying.
