Xi’s warm feelings toward the Midwesterners contrasts with the recent acrimony between the two largest economies.

    I’m definitely NOT MAD 😡 that I wasn’t part of the US normal people delegation to meet Xi.

        XI: Invo_RT, please tell me about the infrastructure in your city.

        ME: [Uncontrollable Trump impression] Not good! Very bad! But I’ll keep using that garbage. [Standing up aggressively] Please President Xi, send Chengdu J-20 multirole stealth aircraft. My people yearn for freedom. [Now on top of the table] Unlimited genocide on the first world!

        "So, you see, when we argue with liberal chauvinists online, we provide a link which appears to be information to back up our arguments, but in fact it is a picture of a pig’s huge balls with a big piece of poop on top, lol!

      You’re probably joking, but in the article it states that these people showed Xi around Iowa like 40 years ago when he was part of some farming committee. They left such a good impression on him that apparently they’ve stayed in touch. It’s really sweet honestly. In the article he says something like “to me, these people are america”
