@greenpeace Unfortunately, the ICJ has no power to enforce any of its judgments. It may be a #watchdog, but it has no #teeth, & with Messrs #Trump, #Putin & #XiJinping in power, its bark isn't very loud, either.

@NotImpressed @palestine Do you not care about #XiJinping's treatment of the #Uyghurs, which amounts to #genocide? Or his attempt to stamp out Tibetan culture? I don't know what you mean by "political" growth, although I don't dispute China's #economic growth.
@NotImpressed @palestine What, including #Trump & #Putin, not to mention #XiJinping & Kim Jon-Un?

U.S. President Donald Trump has dialed down his confrontational tone with China to try to secure a summit with counterpart Xi Jinping and a trade deal with the world’s second-largest economy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/17/world/politics/trump-china-xi-summit-trade/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #xijinping #china #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs
China’s humming factories threw a lifeline to an economy struggling with weak demand in the second quarter. That’s given policymakers space to fight deflation — if they choose to do more than just hitting growth targets. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/16/economy/china-growth-xi-deflation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #china #inflation #xijinping #globaleconomy #trade #tariffs

Xi is no longer the highest authority in the CCP. He now has a boss and that boss is this new [Central Party Decision-Making and Coordination Body].
(...)
The fact that he had to preside over the meeting and make the announcement himself is telling. It shows just how much control he has already lost. His opponents are forcing him to be the one who announces it in order to make the power transition appear orderly, legitimate.

#DonaldTrump wird ständig gerne als "mächtigster #Mann der #Welt" bezeichnet. Das stimmt ganz und gar nicht so. Vielleicht der "westlichen Welt", aber ganz sicher nicht des gesamten Planeten. #XiJinPing ist mittlerweile um einiges mächtiger als Trump, vergessen wir das nicht. Diese #Floskel sollte man streichen.
