The CCP's mouthpieces are once again gushing about the leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization taking the high-speed train to Beijing to attend the so-called "Victory Day parade" celebrating Japan's defeat. I really don't see what's so impressive about it—isn't this just Xi Jinping quietly throwing money around to buy influence? Xi Jinping, a shameless, despicable, utterly brazen tyrant, has looted countless resources from the Chinese people. To feed his pathological vanity, he would rather hand money to foreigners than to the very people he rules over.
