China is reviving the illustrious Red Flag marque, better known at home by its Chinese name, Hong Qi, courtesy of a government-backed program to promote domestic brands that dovetails neatly with efforts to step-up China’s diplomatic profile, partly through a greater emphasis on the pomp and circumstance accompanying state visits. The L9, is reserved for Chinese state leaders, flaunts a 6.4-meter (21-foot) armored chassis, suicide doors that open backward, and a price tag reported at around $1 million.

Tossed into the middle of a potential thawing in U.S. relations with China, Judy Bochenski and her American ping pong teammates helped deliver one of the great diplomatic coups of their time. Their hastily arranged trip for exhibitions in three Chinese cities helped part the Red Curtain and open the way to a new world order that included China. It worked so well that President Richard Nixon would get on Air Force One the next year to make a state visit to China that enthralled the world.(AP Photo/File)

Mentre si acuisce la tensione tra Russia e Usa sullo scenario europeo, fino a prefigurare scenari di una guerra imminente, arrivano segnali di distensione dalla Repubblica popolare cinese verso gli Stati Uniti a 50 anni dalla visita in Cina dell’allora presidente Richard Nixon. Uno di quegli eventi che ha segnato la storia degli ultimi decenni con la successiva entrata del gigante asiatico nel Wto.

Come riporta l’agenzia di stampa Agi, il ministro degli esteri cinese, Wang Yi, ha telefonato al segretario di Stato Usa, Antony Blinken, per dichiarare che la Cina « è disposta a gestire efficacemente le divergenze e a stabilizzare le relazioni con gli Usa sulla base dei principi di rispetto reciproco, coesistenza pacifica e cooperazione vantaggiosa per tutti».
