 After the Apex Summit in San Francisco a lot of people are wondering are China and the US friends again Yeah, we have to switch the animal from Wolf Warrior to Panda Listen guys we got to talk about it the Apex Summit in San Francisco just completed We got to talk about some of the viral moments between President Joe Biden of America President Xi Jinping of China so make sure you like subscribe and turn your notifications Andrew But you know what else is a collaboration between the East and the West yes It's a friendly collaboration smaller sauce. It is shipping this week. I know it took a while guys I know a lot of people are asking where their sauce is trust me. It is coming I'm very excited to share with you guys smaller sauce.com listen guys. We're not geopolitical experts There's so many think pieces written by so many people who follow this so closely, right? But I'm here to give you sort of a layman's perspective on this somebody who's not Professionally involved in politics right because from the outside David if you see the clips It sounded like it was a positive meeting right right like they're just like the whole tone was just way friendlier Than you would have thought right so what do you think is happening? What are some takeaways that you have from this? So here are my first three points, okay? It's friendlier than I thought I think the media is distorting the story for clicks which then leads from the media to social media and my last part is Man, it's just nice to see the energy calm down a bit So back to my first point Andrew I do think that initially when Xi Jinping got off the plane and he's shaking hands with Biden Then Gavin Newsom has given him the NBA jersey from the Lunar New Year edition You know warriors jerseys obviously from the NBA team and Xi Jinping lets out the biggest smile I think he's ever let out in his life. Yeah Xi Jinping. He actually is a fan of basketball There's a long history of him of basketball in China and he's actually a fan even though he doesn't play that much himself He more play soccer. I mean he actually had a interesting conversation with the Thai Prime Minister about soccer I thought that was pretty interesting, too I guess he just came through like really smiley really relaxed and I guess everybody was just like smiling and just like hugging each other Now now David, I think it's safe to say he was seeming pretty friendly But is there a reason for people to doubt it and to think oh, he's lying He's just putting on a front guys China's actually plotting on the low. Um, you know, I Don't really think so. I do think there is real motivations behind it China's economy is incredibly slow right now relative to the past 20 years America's economy is also slow in a different way whether it's like hyperinflation. It's involved in all these foreign things right now Right basically Andrew China and America are each other's biggest trading partners So for the way the rhetoric was to be like slipping into almost like it almost felt like the vocabulary was like going towards World War three and then there's some real wars that break out all around the world and everybody's like whoa Whoa, bro. You guys how did the talk and the vocabulary and the syntax get so crazy right between like people who own a restaurant together Right? It's kind of weird when you see the other conflicts that are going on across the world that are real conflicts real great people are dying And then you think about in a way and then you think about the relationship between the US and China and you're like It's not as bad as I thought like it's really not like we still a little intellectual property here and there No, yeah, I get it America is you I guess you could say Judeo-Christian Protestant at its core right theoretically I guess China is Confucianist or some people want to say it's Taoist or Buddhist at its core But at the end of the day Andrew in modern day 2023, these are two capitalistic countries They're consumeristic. They're capitalistic both countries incredibly materialistic, you know, they they make it in China They buy it in America They reship it back to China to buy it again because they like the American brands If you guys did not hear the quote that came out of it literally Xi Jinping and Biden both agreed that war is really not an option They essentially said that they said we cannot go to war the earth can sustain both of us We can both be successful war should not be an option. So anyways, and then Biden was I think said we have to be sure that Competition doesn't slip into conflict. Yes through miscommunication. Yes. Yes. Yes. So that's why they wanted to communicate David Your second point you're talking about the media here because the media for some reason both sides of the media It seems like I don't even know what right side left side. We talk about Fox or CNN It seems like they always drummed up the feelings between the US and China more than they needed to what the end of the day guys Like I said people have to understand that media companies are there to get clicks. They're there to get watched through time They're not there to necessarily improve the situation or even keep the populace Fully accurately informed about anything. They're here to make money and sell ads just like any other TV show is just like any YouTube channel It's just like TV show is literally and I think that so the first thing that went viral was SF is being cleaned up for Xi Jinping, right? That went viral hyper viral. That's like still going on in its own way, right? And we made a whole video talking about it. Yes, Xi Jinping is probably the most important singular person there Yes, but they did clean it up in general just for the entire apex summit for a bunch of Asians Yeah, but you look at this photo of Biden standing with a bunch of Asians it literally and him and the Asians It's like was it Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan and Shanghai noon. Um, I will say this so that so after they have a pretty friendly first meeting It's not like anything big is discussed, but they're trying to smooth it out, right? We just want to simmer the temperature down. He Biden gives a press conference to the journalists, right? And they go hey, would you still call Xi Jinping a dictator and then he goes? Yeah, because that's what he is. They just run a very different system than us And then the media tries to make it into this huge thing like China's gonna be super offended and everything is like gonna just crumble Oh, you're saying that the way that the media spun that is that Joe Biden Called China a dictator and now all that friendliness and that whole meeting just goes to crap, right? Well, you can see Blinken's reaction He cringes because that's his job is to watch for messaging like that But ultimately it turned out to be not a big deal and then actually Joe Biden gets up in the middle of like one of their like Boring translated talks and just like goes over to Xi Jinping and it's like, you know shaking his hand and smiling So it seems like I guess what I'm saying is there's a media cycle and then there's the social media cycle Where people who like really don't know the whole story or don't even care to know the whole story give like a 10 out of 10 Yeah, I mean, I would say obviously Biden did make a mistake maybe by saying it that way No, he's not technically wrong by the dictionary definition like and then what people is a dictator So are people mad that he called him a dictator or that he didn't back down from his previous words because then like anyways So weird because some people are mad at him for not being a adept statesman, right? And they're saying that's because of his age, but then other people were like, you know, I'm conservative That's the first time I agree with Biden. I like that. He said that man. So I'm like Trump So it's like, you know what I mean? It's so interesting to see just the myriad of reactions of people who are you know Probably really not that invested in it But they just like are invested almost in a tone or a narrative and uh last but not least Andrew It's just nice to see the energy calm down a little bit It was just getting out of hand man. I really felt it I felt like I was just like why is everybody acting like they almost like want it to go to World War? Yeah, I didn't understand that part where it seemed like for the past couple years Especially people like just regular citizens were like, we're gonna go to war with China I'm like who said that like why would you think that like there's literal real wars going on across the world guys? You see the horrifying those are real wars What China in the u.s. Does it's definitely a rivalry. It's definitely competition. There's definitely some spying There's definitely some stealing of intellectual property. There's might be some cia plays over in China Like you said, it's Brazilian jujitsu and there is some cheating. There's some Cheating much like Brazilian jujitsu match somebody stuck their finger in the other guy's butthole Someone's kind of kind of scratched their eyeball in the other guy. So there's definitely some dirty play But it's still a match right within the confines of what a controlled match is supposed to be literally guys These two economies completely depend on it's like dirty sparring Have you guys have you guys ever sparred like boxed your friend? And then one friend just kind of lays like a kind of a hits a little too hard gets you in the eye and you're like Damn, bro. That wasn't supposed to happen Hey things happen. But of course, uh, and there was some people like tom cotton Who was like, I can't believe we even let that foreign adversary on american soil let alone shake his hand I couldn't believe that I couldn't I don't I'm just like, bro David do you think people actually even understand what war an actual hot war between china and america Could we would be like I think it would be really bad for both countries now You might say oh america might win that one Yeah, barely but everybody would be like in shambles like it really would not be a good idea for both people Yeah, and like I said guys, uh, we're just saying this because we're just like look like a lot of people are gonna look at Our situation to be like, well, you guys are chinese american Of course, you feel that way or elon and ray dalio and jamie diamond Of course they'd be at that $40,000 plate per dinner elon muska be there zuckerberg I'm sure he was zooming in from his hospital bed after tearing his aco Yeah, y'all are are just double agents and then i'm saying listen when you have More perspective it motivates you to do the research to know the actual truth It's not that we are like blinded by it and just biased by it It's because you do have they have business motivations We have uh business but also personal motivations to actually do the research to understand it It's not that i'm endorsing all his policies at all. I think shijun ping handled a lot of things I wouldn't do it like him, you know, I wouldn't do anything as the president of america I wouldn't do it like them either, but I'll probably change more if I was president china I definitely wouldn't handle cove it that way. Yeah, but i'm just saying like since i'm not I just it's you know, let's just simmer things down a little bit Yeah, I think it's just funny that like if you imagine that if china was just like Like Closer like physically the land masses were closer together I think we would have found a way to work together a long time ago But it's because a lot of people kind of have this like gang mentality, you know, if you go to la Like there's a lot of gangs out there and it's like because la is more spread out You can like drive to each other's, you know, like people are not forced to share the same spaces People are not forced to like figure it out with each other But like if you come to new york, yes, there are still gangs and violence and stuff, but like Because people are so packed together. They can't fight all the time Or else there would literally be it'd be like chaos and be like a war zone So it's like it's crazy to think that like people Just have this mentality where they're like, ah, they're across the seas. Yeah, they stole some some Some technology Kill them. I'm like, dude, guys, there's like a bunch of other stuff that there's a bunch of other like actual reasons that other people would go to war Not but yeah, I mean, I'm not saying there's not ideological differences. You know what I mean It's just like two parents that they're governing these big ass countries and like Of course, they're gonna make a lot of reads that the other one wouldn't make even given the same situation Not even that they are in the same situation because the the histories and everything are like everything's like completely different But yeah, listen guys, I mean, I think they got to ease up over there too on censorship and a bunch of stuff too as well You know, I get it. You know, I think we got to make some changes over here But the one thing we should just do is all just calm down a little bit. It's not You don't want war. Nobody wants war dude I'm just extrapolating it. China goes to war with America. Russia gets involved America got to get everybody else involved It's it's crazy. It's crazy. Why would you want that? I don't understand why people would even want to start that But anyways guys, uh, let us know in the comments down below do things look a little bit more friendly or now Uh, it does it seem a little bit more calm. It seemed like there was a good meeting overall It was a net positive. So, uh, I think that's good in general, you know But uh, you guys let us know in the comments down below and uh until next time with hot pop boys. We out
