“TACOMA, Wash. — It seems as if Tacoma and Steilacoom’s mayors have a new pen pal: Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“On Wednesday, both mayors acknowledged they sent a friendly letter to the Chinese leader to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the start of the Olympic Games in Beijing. It is the kind of thing that elected leaders often do, without any sort of expectation for a response.”
Kellie A says
Meanwhile Chinese President Xi Jinping has any American team disqualified if they win. SMH!
Brian Borgelt says
I’m sure it was a stern letter addressing human rights abuses; the alliance with Russia; covid-19 lab origin; the fentanyl epidemic; the trade imbalance; and aggression against other sovereign peoples.
Nope.
So what do minor officials talk to our greatest strategic enemy about, and how does this improve the condition that Tacoma has deteriorated into?
Tina says
Ask Dick Muri – Republican mayor of Steilacoom – how friendly relations with the Chinese leader helps our town on the sound… It applies to him too.
