Genocidal dictator Xi Jinping of China told his Brazilian counterpart, socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, during a phone call on Monday that Beijing would support Brazil in “defending [its] national sovereignty” as it navigates trade negotiations with the United States.
Xi further agreed to help Lula in helping create a global coalition “resolutely fighting against unilateralism and protectionism,” similarly veiled language apparently referring to President Donald Trump. China shared the contents of the call through its state news agency, Xinhua, not indicating that Xi mentioned Trump or the United States directly. Xinhua did relay that Lula updated Xi “on the recent situation of Brazil’s ties with the United States, as well as Brazil’s unwavering principled stance on safeguarding its own sovereignty.”
