Well that would be a win/win for the US. Maybe Xi has had a stroke?

Or, maybe he's just horny and wants to employ her in her previous profession.

Either way I want a stroke in there. Your way is just smellier.

The skeptic in me wonders what the US had to give up (give in) to get panda's and was it worth it.

We sent Boebert.

I would trade a dozen Boeberts for zero pandas.

We did just sign on to a shiny new high profile agreement with them for 2030 (or the next ten years..I can't remember)..but the thing is, they're set to hit the marks next year anyway before we proposed it. So it's an easy vic for them - in partnership with and flat out embarrassing the us. In the world of diplomacy, easy wins are currency.

Worth some pandas? Probably. They're overgrown racoons. China would trade any number of pandas for international cred. They can make new ones.

And now she gets to cry victim because she is incapable of seeing her blatant bigotry for what it is.

She clearly sees the nonbinary as subhuman.
