Big day today(tomorrow) in Beijing. Xi JinPing will be on hand to greet the 2 or 3 attendees at the ceremony. Most athletes will avoid the ceremony which will be held in a telephone booth(?) somewhere. After all the preparations, the event will be less than a showcase of Chinese efforts. Even in the US, much-vaunted Peacock network screwed up the delivery, confusing subscribers about how and where to find the live broadcasts. It's really sad: even the executives can't figure out their own confusing plans-how did the marketing departments put together such a horror show of mixed up instructions that even the designers can't operate. The viewers have already given up on the Olympics for this year. Feeling sad for the athletes? Don't, those feelings are hardly justified today. It's all about politics and money only.
Mad Vlad will be in Beijing today, too. No, he's not competing in equestrienne events. The old horseman/Cossack wannabe will be sharing pork buns with the sly-faced dictator who can out fox Mad Vlad just by sneezing or farting. Sure Russya is the largest country in the world, but China has the 2nd largest economy(slowing) in the world, and a billion more citizens to boot. Take that, Vladimir. Today, Xi JP will tell Little Vlad to tone down the rhetoric over Ukraine. Any conflict with the West there will harm Chinese business, so stop now. All of the business China does with Ukraine and Europe is at risk. Not good for Beijing, Vladimir. So shut your reeking pie hole or else we might have to squeeze Moscova and call off some business ties you need/want in the future. You are not in charge of everything. Stop right now.
We'll have to wait until the Olympics conclude before we hear of the conference outcomes between the two.
