Since Iraq war I decided not to speak about politics because the real politics was power politics. But politics often comes to you and you have to think a little bit.
Recently Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou was arrested by Canadian police. It happened just before or after Trump and Xi meeting. Some people said it was a coincidence.
If I remember clearly, when Xi visited Trump in the latter’s home garden in Florida, just before they began to talk, Trump told Xi that he had just sent a very advanced bomb to Syria.
And Xi was like when Liu Bei met Cao Cao. When Cao Cao said to Liu Bei, do you know who are the heros in this world? Liu Bei said I don’t know. Cao Cao said, only you and I are heros in this world. Liu Bei was shocked while outside there was a thunderstorm. Liu said oh, I am sorry, I was afraid of the thunderstorm.
Some people think it was just an accident that Trump wanted to give this gift to Xi. And Xi said oh, Trump, I understand your meaning. Then they began to talk again.
Long time ago in 1999 when Clinton administration was in power, America went to Kosovo and bombed Yugoslavia. By the way they also bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. Three people were killed. And they were two journalists and one family member. Afterwards the American side said it was a mistake. They used a wrong map.
In 2002 when I visited Las Vigas, I met a group of American men and they said to me it was an accident, right? I said, yes, it is an accident.
But Chinese wisdom is that anything cannot repeat three times. If it repeats three times or more, it means something serious. So I like to ask that, Are Americans so stupid to have such many accidents?
