    I see and understand the European distrust of Trump's US. Not sure I really see much of an embrace of China. China obviously is very powerful economically and geopolitically and Europe kinda has to play ball with them, especially if they can't really count on a united front with the US. But, they won't trust China the way they used to trust the US.

    This current crop of “GOP” have no concept of “soft power”.

    I would take Biden over XI. I'm trying to figure out how to translate "Malarkey!" into Chinese.

    I'm thinking "麻辣可" which phonetically would be "Ma la ke!" but the meaning would be "spicy approval".

    "狗屁" which is phonetically "Gou pi!" which literal translation is "dog fart" and used like "Bullshit" might capture the meaning better.
