Another consequence of China's "wolf warrior diplomacy". Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia are leaving the 17+1 format

I don't think that China is going to weep at this development.

I'm crying tears...............of joy.

These nations are beyond useless, aside Estonia. Apart from exporting very low skilled labour and criminals, that's about all they can give to the world.
Oh did I mention their populations are well into terminal decline?

Still, they were important enough for China to sign agreements with...

Anything to counter Western influence I guess. But the fact remains these nations are nothing in the world. They survive on subsidies from their Western members.

Exactly....now that influence is lost. Not gone but lost...

Every year, Chinese allies get lesser. Obviously, according to the Chinese on here....they don't need anyone....not even Pakistan.

He literally called allies "blood suckers".

And?? How's China any different??

You do similar things when you can. We all know how China tried to bully Vietnam. If you had the power, you would take Taiwan and kill many Taiwanese in the process.

Don't come to PDF and try to lecture me on how imperialism works.

No, in fact many ASEAN countries (major ones) are ok with the US rule based order in the Pacific.

Exactly, anyone would take US rule over Chinese rule anytime of the day...

At least I get to protest US rule. If I do that when the Chinese rule.........you'll find my dead body in the river.

American rule: " American first. Either you with me or you are my enemy."
Chinese rule: " Let sit down and talk, make us Win Win， Corporation better than confrontation"
If you want to see more better world, you know who should you pick.

How's China any different? how do you have shame to compare U.S to China. U.S raised war to foreign countries in a average of very 5 years which total of 15 wars since WWII and China only has a few border war with few countries. Vietnam is a greeting country who trying to steal SCS oil so China have to stop him. Taiwan is China internal affair which united nation recognized as China's state.

Lol, everyone is here...what a party.

I would call them counties and not countries. So, technically, MIDGET COUNTIES are leaving a format of MORE MIDGET counties.
