China halts U.S. beef licenses hours after renewals at Trump-Xi summit
China’s sudden beef export halt stuns U.S. during Trump-Xi summit
During high-profile talks in Beijing, China’s customs agency first renewed, then within hours revoked, export licenses for more than 400 U.S. beef plants — about 65% of previously registered facilities. The reversal, seen on the customs website as status changes from “effective” to “expired,” occurred without explanation and left major U.S. meatpackers like Cargill and Tyson in limbo. Analysts, including Xu Hongzhi of Beijing Orient Agribusiness Consultants, believe the move is a deliberate signal in trade negotiations, designed to be impactful yet manageable in risk. Reuters
Total humiliation
“This falls short of the 500 737 Max and widebody aircraft Chinese airlines were expected to buy at the upper extreme of a landmark deal—- Boeing shares moved lower on the news.”

Trump went to Beijing projecting dominance.
What the world saw was one of the most humiliating displays of presidential weakness in modern American diplomacy.
Trump called Xi his “friend.”
A “great leader.”
An “amazing man.”
A “great gentleman.”
He even joked about giving Xi a “big, fat hug.”
Xi gave him nothing back.
No personal praise.
No admiration.
No “friendship.”
Just cold state language:
“cooperation,”
“stability,”
“mutual benefit,”
and warnings about Taiwan, conflict, and China’s red lines.
That asymmetry matters.
Because in diplomacy, the side doing the flattering is usually the side that needs something.
And Trump needed a lot:
• Help containing the Iran crisis
• Relief from economic pressure
• Rare earth access
• Trade stability
• Inflation relief
• Chinese restraint toward Tehran
Xi knew it.
So while Trump performed personal admiration, Xi performed hierarchy.
The visuals were devastating:
The President of the United States praising an authoritarian ruler while absorbing public warnings and conditions in return.
No trade breakthrough.
No major concessions.
No visible wins on fentanyl.
No movement on cyber-theft.
No rollback on Chinese support structures tied to Iran.
Just flattery.
This is what weakness looks like on the world stage:
An American president publicly seeking rapport with a dictator while the dictator calmly signals:
“You need us more than we need you.”
Trump didn’t arrive in Beijing looking like the man holding leverage.
He arrived looking like a man asking for it.

What a blabbering idiot…no wonder he’s such a Trump bootlicker.

He forgot to mention what they both had in common - a little p***s
Thanks for enlightening us South Park
Trump looked at Xi Jinping with almost pleading eyes and dropped this that left the room in complete silence… as if he were begging:
“I brought with me the 30 most powerful business leaders in the world… and they all agreed to come.
I didn’t send the number two or the vice president…I wanted the number one from each empire: Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Elon Musk… the best in the planet are here, right in front of you…”Then, with a voice almost trembling and that forced smile, he wrapped it up almost begging:
“Today they are here to pay respect to you and to China… They come eager to do business, invest and build.From our side… I ask that it be 100% reciprocal… please.”
This isn’t dominance.This is a president begging for a yes from China. Did you see that? The “art of the deal” turned into a live plea.

TOTAL FAIL BETWEEN TRUMP and CHINA
Really puzzling to see a lack of diversity in his pool of CEOs who accompanied him on his China Trip
China giving the middle finger to American delegates was a ballsy move

President Xi: "I can't believe we had bilateral talks with this bum. We show them who boss with extra large chopsticks and chopsuey. I'm sure Trump liked my cock-tail prepared by child labor. All I want is business - I don't care if US even exists - just mass produce and anything, and I mean anything will sell to these idiots."
Trump's translator went broke.

Look at what they all have in common. Pretty sure Xi didn't give two F**Ks as the western bully BS and doesn't really pose a threat
