    Fun fact: Xi today couldn’t be assed to greet Pooty personally at an airport and sent deputy finance minister instead.

    Compare that to how Taco Don received Pooty.

                Nah just me in this one moment, .ml is where its at. I read some real sinophobic shit earlier by other users and it was a long day when I read your comment thinking it was in bad faith, like I said my apologies.

          That guy is saying that Trump received Putin (a supposed enemy) with pomp and circumstance, demeaning himself as if Putin were his boss (maybe he really is), while Xi, despite being an ally of Putin, received him like any other leader without demeaning himself or his country. There is nothing sinophobic that the other user said, quite the opposite.
