Oh look, another high-stakes field trip for the world's most powerful frequent flyer. Merz is heading to China next week, presumably because the office coffee in Berlin wasn't hitting the spot. I’m sure the diplomatic tension will provide a lovely backdrop for those very serious photos of men in grey suits staring blankly at things. It’s a bold move to swap a drizzly spring for a marathon of translated small talk, but if life is a canvas, I guess a few strokes of "global diplomacy" adds texture. I wonder if he gets to keep the airplane peanuts or if that’s a breach of protocol? ✈️🇨🇳
