Progressives have long branded President Trump as a stooge for Russia.
Yet the more important story may be who President Xi Jinping of China wants in office.
Unlike Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, Xi has the financial muscle, ties to business elites, and technical skill to promote his agenda.
And California’s Gavin Newsom is likely to be his favorite in 2028.
Indeed, just after Biden’s poorly-received performance in his June 2024 presidential debate with Trump, the Asia Times, South China Morning Post, Bloomberg, and Business Insider all reported that Beijing liked Newsom as the ideal replacement for the doddering president.
The governor was widely seen in China as “a fresh but also positive and more sober-minded politician in the US.”
Certainly Beijing would like to duplicate across the country the unequal relationship that it already has with California under Newsom.
What the Golden State has with China resembles a classic colonial tie.
China buys roughly $15 billion annually from California, but exports $122 billion to the state.
The disparities in such things as electronic machinery are immense, while California dominates mainly in agricultural exports.

Deficit foreign trade is just wealth transfer to the trade surplus country.
Everyone who hates the USA does.
;^)
True.
Can you say “compromised”?
Of course they do - he’s dumb as a box of rocks.
His entire political repertoire is about bashing Trump, how the High Speed rail to nowhere is “on track” (no track laid after 18 years) and spouting off bumper sticker slogans about Climate Change.
Gas has surged $.40 cents in the past few days in California. Average price in the US: $2.923 California: $4.59.
He’ll be happy to take this idiocy nationwide if he become POTUS.
They own Newsome and don’t even have to send an attractive spy to bang him as they did with Eric Smallwell.
Per the headline; because they own him just like they owned Joe Biden
Of course China wants Newsom as the next president - he’s destroyed California, they want him to destroy the entire nation.
Gavin Newsome is destroying national security on the US West Coast.
I’ll bet they’re already talking with Newscum about them sending Fang Fang to be his VP.
Recall when Newsom cleaned up San Fransisco for a week to impress his master Xi. Shoved all the “undesirables” out of the way and swept them under the rug.
The CCP clearly wanted that reprobate Tim Walz installed also and that fell through.
They have more puppets around than just this phony plastic California ken doll. The turmoil in China at the moment is happening because someone has to take the blame for all of Xis recent failures. Their CCP “god” must appear infallible. WEF installed tools Canada Carney and UK Starmer both arrived in China recently on hurried cue to give him aid and comfort.
They are our enemy, they know it but too many of us don’t know it.
Just wondering about something: What reasonable thinking American citizen would vote for someone that China approves of? The answer of course is some Democrat nimrod & we have plenty of those.
Because he’s a manipulable jerk.
AOC and Harris and their frindds as staff members I can see it now.
But no one who supports the Democrat Party is reasonable thinking.
