Trump in Beijing - A Laughing Stock Abroad



US president Trump received at the airport by an employee of the Chinese President's office.


US-CHINA: THE SUMMIT OF TECHNOFEUDALISM

1/ The CEOs who traveled with Trump to China aren't his entourage; they are the Board of Directors of the new economic system dominated by the big tech corporations. Those that Varoufakis defined, warning us, as "Technofeudalists":

2/ When BlackRock, Apple, Nvidia, Goldman Sachs, and Tesla sit at a table with Xi Jinping, it's not about diplomacy—it's the 'board' of a nation whose president is merely the elected manager. A nation whose leadership no longer follows the outdated logics of democracy.

3/ This visit has ended the democratic illusion and the rhetoric of separation between State and Market. Foreign policy, as can be seen, is technological and isn't being decided in the State Department, but in the offices of those who manage the world's GDP.
