Internet shut off during G7 session as leaders debate over China: Report
Hindustan Times ^

Posted on 06/12/2021 7:09:19 PM PDT by BenLurkin

According to a CNN report, the G7 leaders aired serious differences over the approach and the disagreements reportedly became so sensitive at one point that all internet was shut off to the room.

Biden has reportedly taken a more hawkish stance but some other leaders are wary of the risk of being seen as an outright anti-China bloc. During Saturday's first session of the G7 summit, Canada, Britain and France largely endorsed Biden's position, while Germany, Italy and the European Union showed more hesitancy,

The G7 leaders also discussed setting up a task force on issues related to China. German chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed the idea, however, she didn’t want to frame the move as an anti-China effort.

Plugs forgot about being paid off and the internet was shut off while the Chinese laid out the receipts for his payoff on the table to remind him that they own him.

I’ll bet that, at this level, these people’s cell phones NEVER turn off and everything seen and heard goes direct to Peking.

They would be wise to treat it as so.

There was a great picture of AF1 with Joe’s tramp sitting at his desk, and she had Pooh front and center on the desk.

Yep. That phone sitting there can watch whatever is in range of both cameras, hear everything in the room and record or transmit it.

It can easily be made to never turn itself off.

China is NOT screwing around with any of this. And she’s too stupid to have a clue.

Doctor Jill with her EdD in elementary education or was it educational leadership. Good to see she’s in charge of our paper work.

Why would the G-7's plans to add a new tax on businesses bother the Chinese?

A 15% tax will force businesses to:

(1)Surrender 15% of their profits, or (2)Raise prices 15%, or(3) Move their headquarters out of G-7 countries.

I ask again: Why is this bad news for China?

O'Biden is brain dead. Who really speaks for the US there? The idea of "ChiCom Bought" Biden being anti ChiCom is absolutely crazy.
