ACGB is the acronym for Acela Corridor Galaxy Brain, a phrase coined by Christopher Balding, a renowned economist and scholar in Sino-US-Europe study, to refer to a journo or tankie from Boston to the DC along the east coast who has never left his town (e.g., Cambridge, the borough of Brooklyn, or Georgetown) but thinks he/she knows enough to run the world such. Acela is the "high speed" train line with a top speed of around 90 mph for brief stretches.
An ACGB Journo is basically a propaganda hack that rewrites press releases but the absolute silence on a major event is stunning even by their hackish standards.

China, with Acela Corridor Galaxy Brains' assistance, is pushing this nonsensical line that "let's repair the relationship but not talk about anything of importance."
