(From X platformhttps://x.com/i/status/2042270419898581078 )⤵️ BREAKING: China moves to crown Sánchez as Europe’s chief representative, bypassing Brussels entirely. Beijing confirms its 4th high-level visit in 4 years, handpicking Spain’s PM as the EU’s de facto voice.
Trump’s “nemesis in Europe” (FT) and axis of resistance mogger-in-chief, who called for Netanyahu’s arrest, is reopening Spain’s embassy in Tehran, and is pivoting toward Algeria against Morocco, is done playing by the old rules.

My comment : Drat, I am proud of my neighbour country, but admit "diplomacy-envy".. So envious. (We used to be the ones that, for centuries, held highest diplomacy & trade for China back in the day... Albeit, both our countries were different and were empires back then, but still...) Good for Spain. Shame on us, but good for Spain. I'm so embarrassed
I think they've even perhaps gotten so close as to equal us (or very close to that) in terms of relations with Brazil which, if you are aware of Lusophone history, makes the sting go quite deeply into one's soul. I am happy for Spain, truly. They deserve it. Our old arch-rival and "brother"country, they've had vision these last few years and we have not. We're spineless, that's what we've become, broken and spineless. Serves us right.
Good for Spain. Bravo.
