The President's Daily Brief
PDB Situation Report | May 10th, 2025: Xi’s Weak Hand: U.S.-China Showdown & India And Pakistan On The Brink

Their end is to rule the world. Not control it, not dominate it, not examine it, hegemony over it, but to rule it. That's their end goal. And it's not just this world. Since 2017, Xi Jinping's officials have been talking about the lunar Mars as sovereign Chinese territory. So, this is total Chinese rule. That's their end.

And yes, I know it sounds ludicrous, but we need to start paying attention to what the Chinese say. Because we did not pay attention to Osama Bin Laden. We didn't pay attention until that day that we will all remember, where he killed 2,977 Americans. Then we paid attention. We gotta pay attention to what the Chinese are saying and we certainly gotta pay attention to what these guys are doing.

Yeah, we have not heard credible reports on numbers. We've just heard the reports that they are there and they are nominally there for observing. But I believe that they're there for more than just observing. That would not make sense to me, that they were in such a limited role.

PDB Situation Report | May 10th, 2025: Xi’s Weak Hand: U.S.-China Showdown & India And Pakistan On The Brink

It's sort of like a client state these days. It is a state which wouldn't survive, I think, without substantial amounts of Chinese money. Because if the Chinese money weren't there, I'm not sure that the government could really survive. What we have is the Pakistani military is bulked up with Chinese weapons, Chinese planes.

So, for instance, I mean, the initial reports are those Chinese J-10Cs actually took down India's Rafael planes from France. We know that those Chinese planes have Chinese over-the-horizon missiles. And there's just all sorts of indications there. In the Korean War, you know, American pilots were fighting North Korean MiGs with Soviet pilots.

We haven't had reports of Chinese pilots in Pakistan yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the next step. Especially if this does turn into a war and India starts getting the advantage. And I think that that I don't know if this will turn into a war, but if it does, I think India eventually will start crushing Pakistan and then you'll see the Chinese there in numbers.

The Pakistanis took the Indians by surprise by downing those at least two Indian planes. I don't think India is going to let that happen again.
