Xi wants Trump to treat him the way he treats Putin. Let China take all the disputed territories around it like Trump allows Russia. Maybe if Xi and Putin never learned geography we wouldn't have this problem? It shouldn't be taught anymore since it is only used to create political borders and determine what land areas give military advantage. Definitely not a science.

But seriously, enough trolling.

Xi wants Trump to give him the green light on Taiwan like he is giving Putin everything in Ukraine. Xi sees an opportunity to convince a weak, mentally declining American president to accept China's imminent invasion and possibly even support it.

All it will take is a little flattery and some expensive gifts.
