The Trump-Xi Beijing Summit: What the Smiling Handshakes Won't Tell You

On Thursday, Donald Trump will walk into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, shake Xi Jinping's hand, and declare it a great meeting. There will be announcements. There will be numbers — billions of dollars in Chinese purchase commitments, a new bilateral mechanism with an important-sounding name, possibly a joint statement on Iran. Trump will post on Truth Social. Markets will rally briefly. Pundits will argue about who won. None of that will tell you what actually happened. What is actually happening in Beijing this week is something more consequential and more uncomfortable than the summit theatre will reveal: two leaders of two deeply mutually dependent superpowers, both of whom need this meeting to succeed for entirely different reasons, sitting across a table in a world that has already moved past the assumptions that defined their last nine months of negotiations.

Facebook page Boycott Amazon.com for Selling How Guide for pedophile


Yes Amazon.com seems to have gotten itself into a controversy. The story so far is this - Amazon is selling a book that is a how to guide for pedophilia. The story was hotly debated on Anderson Copper and is making headlines around the globe. Amazon users noticed that the company was selling this book and raised an alarm. A Facebook page was also created  alerting everyone else. Amazon.com has a policy about porn and will not sell anything related to it on their site but they have this how to book up for sale. The controversy is that if the company refuses material that they consider offensive to the customers how come there is a book on this subject available.



If you visit the Facebook page which asks people to boycott amazon.com you will find there this whole thing is being hotly debated. There are people out there who says that they believe in free speech and others who says no. There is a line that needs to be drawn and Amazon should not take profit for something that is so offensive and wrong to citizens living in a normal society.



The latest update visible on the Facebook page is that Amazon has not removed the book listing but the link to buy has been broken.



Here the description from the Facebook page.
