I’ve heard this was the case for the recent Iran-China friendship announcement or whatever, there was a pretty good episode of The East is a Podcast on it.

Reading the article, there was a bunch of language about “the two parties should do [something]” and stuff like that, seems like important people in the state met in a friendly manner, but with no mention of actual legislation or anything.

So good, but not really consequential, unless meetings and platitudes like this haven’t happened in a while
