  1. USA has become brain-dead. China has excessively infiltrated at all levels of the USA. This is the very susceptibility that Americans used to pride themselves on! The USA's work will soon come to an end. The people of the United States no longer deserve to be a superpower.

  2. When money guy meets devil guy, what is in their mind!😍

  3. Be friends with the tyrant who wants to destory your freedom and country is just suicidal!

  4. The evil in person Bill Gates

  5. that's how Bill knew about the coming global pandemic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Af6b_wyiwI

  6. Being one of Xi's friends means he takes your money and your intellectual property crushes your business with cheap chinese knockoffs and if you don't thank him he kills you or your family.

  7. Let the conspiracy comments begin!

  8. If only US or G7 political leaders shows maturity in their dealing of world affairs. Though old fashioned, China 's political leadership is an exemplary example of maturity and good political judgement.

  9. US begging Chinese? Israel begging Chinese? EU begging Chinese? Even India begging Chinese,??? 😂😂

  10. US please select such calibre person to be US leader – peace, win-win mentality, prosperity focus not provocation and status/power/ego hungry

  11. It is the economy, stupid! Learn from China!
    China invests in infrastructure and business to gain monetary return and influence, while US overborrows to waste money in military. Who is smarter?
    If China needs any resources, just trade. Why war? Stupid.
    US spent trillions of dollars in Afghanistan to replace Taliban with Taliban, and China spent money in improving the living standards of its people. Who is smarter?

    The military expenditure of China is only 1/3 of US.
    Should US reduce its military expenditure and spend the money on infrastructure and its poor people(build more social housing) ? 56% of Americans can't cover a $1,000 emergency expense with savings!! Reduce military expense can reduce the debt burden of the government. Can't just print money!

  12. Sad to see that Bill Gates sits down with what is essentially a dictator that controls billion of people's lives through mass censorship and threats. Please nobody ever forget he was the top person behind the killing of all the students in HK. Nothing Xi says can take away from what evil he really is.

  13. In China, we call people who come to you with friendly intentions “friends”, this is not the narrow definition of “besties”. Judge only if you understand the cultural connotations of the country.

  14. Bill Gates has anxiety problems

  15. two rats, he went to look for how china controls the population to do it here in the usa

  16. Any respect Gates earned back through charitable work, donations and medical research contribution just went out the window. That's like cuddling up to every serial killer in the nation after the way Xi has treated his own people.

  17. China has a long history of interest in taming babarians

  18. Bill Gates be careful to support CCP and turn blind eyes for all the atrocities that this one party has been committed.. Karma could turn.. Just see how CCP has treated all the rich people since it was founded and don’t think they won’t do it to you because you are American.. just wait

  19. Pooh Bear not smile this much even with his Ruzzia Mini Me.

  20. Maybe gates can negotiate another 10% for the Big Guy

  21. Anyone aligned with Bill Gates is on the wrong sides of both humanity and history.

  22. man i admire these two guys so much. god bless them

  23. BILL GATES = AMERICA'S ENEMY

  24. Sure they weren't talking about population control or any other hot topics

  25. You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to notice something WRONG with this picture.
