At one point in the weekend talks, Bessent made his point by reaching into the small bowl of sugar in front of him, putting a small amount in the palm of his hand and telling his Chinese counterparts, “This would kill everyone in this room,” according to a person familiar with the episode.

He then proceeded to take out a bit more sugar and said: “This would kill everyone in Geneva,” and more to signal an amount that would kill everyone in Switzerland — shocking Chinese negotiators with his frankness, the person added.

Xu Datong, China’s vice minister of public security, was among those in the room, the person said.

Perhaps an analogy of the seemingly innocuous looking harmful drug of Fetanyl?

Or perhaps unbalanced amounts of sugar or salt content that had been proven to harm lives if addicted to such?
 
sugar is killing everyone in sg already the past 6.9 years.
