Xi prepares China ‘for battle’ as expert warns of grave danger facing US ahead of DC summit

Thursday in Washington. Xi talking war. Three U.S. troops already dead on Chinese targeting data.

Summary

  • Fox News reports President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet Thursday in Washington, four months after their May meeting, with artificial intelligence and trade expected at the front of the table.
  • Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang said Sunday on Fox News Live that Xi keeps talking about going to war against the United States and is preparing China's civilian and military society for battle while Washington still talks as if it is at peace.
  • Chang's remarks come amid reports, cited by Fox from the Wall Street Journal, that Iran received satellite images of an airbase in Jordan from Chinese entities before an attack that killed three U.S. troops earlier this summer. Chang called that targeting data and said China is deliberately killing Americans.
  • Chang said Xi faces a turbulent Communist Party at home, will not compromise on AI the way Biden failed to move him in 2023, and incorrectly believes China is rising while the United States is in terminal decline.

Commentary

A shop dad still wipes grease off a wrench and knows a Thursday summit is supposed to mean a deal, not a speech about battle while three graves already sit in American dirt. He did not pay the levy so targeting data could leave Jordan while the table talked trade.

Thursday. Four months after May. Three troops. One Journal report on Chinese imagery. The vinyl chair in that Gold Star kitchen still waits. The honest household already bought the overtime for the three.

Look every working father who still folds a flag case after a night shift in the eye and answer this: if Xi is already preparing society for battle, who still owns the next image a Chinese desk hands to Iran?

Thursday summit. Three troops. Chinese imagery, per the Journal. Keep the three.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I stood a gate so targeting data still meant a hold. Battle talk is not a weather report.

u/rule_first · 4h

Chang: civilian and military prepared for battle. Biden 2023 AI meeting failed. Print both.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied desks still treat a war speech as a breach, not a summit souvenir.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Jordan airbase images. Three dead. File the pair.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still smell diesel at 2 a.m. I want the next targeting file empty.

Three graves are not a vibe. They are a warning the street already paid.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

A satellite still of a U.S. base is a second border around every honest hangar.

u/press_clip · 30m

Fox printed Thursday, Chang's battle line, and three troops. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Keep the summit hard. Treat the imagery as a kill. A battle speech is not a souvenir.
