"From the Earth to the Moon: Biden's China policy doomed from the start"
https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/03/19 ... the-start/
"By the end of 2019, China became the world’s leader in terms of diplomacy, as it then boasted 276 diplomatic posts, many of which are consulates. Unlike embassies, consulates play a more significant role in terms of trade and economic exchanges. According to 2019 figures which were published in ‘Foreign Affairs’ magazine, China has 96 consulates compared with the US’ 88. Till 2012, Beijing lagged significantly behind Washington’s diplomatic representation, precisely by 23 posts.
Wherever China is diplomatically present, economic development follows."
This is another great achievement for China's government and people under President Xi Jinping's leadership. China is now the # 1 country in the world diplomatically, with the largest number of diplomatic posts, 276, and the largest number of consulates, 96. China is fast becoming the number one country in the world in almost every way that matters.
The USA is still the number one country in military expenditures, number of nuclear and biological weapons, weapons sales, illegal invasions of and attacks on foreign countries, and military bases in foreign countries. Also, for a handful of years more, the USA will remain the largest economy on the planet, though not on PPP terms, but that will stop being the case before the end of this decade.
