> Honestly, at this point I trust Xi to follow through on his promises more than I do Trump - and that's sad.

Some of Xi's promises:

- Taiwan...

- (a measly) 1 million jobs in Africa[1].

- Corruption Crackdown [2]

- Modernization by 2029 [3]

- Unwavering support for Jack Ma and China's private tech bigwigs [4]

- China will stand with Southeast Asian countries in face of economic shocks [5]

- Boost coordination with Kim John Un[6]

Looking at promises is one thing. However, I would rather pay attention to what is NOT being said or what is being done. Middle East, Ukraine, Taiwan, Africa...
