It’s pathetic and unnecessary but hey, nobody grovels like a Kiwi:
New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has received a warm reception from China President Xi Jinping in the pair’s first bilateral meeting.
The leaders met in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People late on Tuesday (AEST), with Xi labelling New Zealand a friend and partner.
“Our bilateral ties have continued to grow in a sound and steady manner. Amid the changing international landscape, our relationship has remained robust and strong,” Xi said.
Check out this little beauty:
So, what is the lifetime, unelected, self-appointed head of the world’s largest police state then?
All of this grovelling from the free world is pathetic:
The European Commission’s proposed new economic security strategy is directly targeted at China, even though it studiously avoids any mention of China.
On Tuesday, the EC unveiled the strategy, which it says was motivated by a desire to minimise risks flowing from “certain economic flows in the context of increased geopolitical tensions and accelerated technological shifts”.
Just wait. Nobody is going to out-grovel Albo when he flies to Beijing to celebrate 50 years of Labor arse-kissing in October.
