American officials are ready to participate in the first high level meeting of the administration with their Chinese counterparts this week in Alaska. But those representatives from Beijing are not coming to conduct meaningful discussions. They are coming instead to lecture Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
“The Chinese are offering zero accommodations to the United States,” a former defense official said in an interview with Foreign Policy. “They are offering only expectations of the United States to change and no change on their part.” The assessment is consistent with the hardline tone which top Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi took in his call with Blinken last month. In the past, Chinese officials at a meeting like this one would make some concessions for the American side, or at least note they would, because they had believed the United States to be strong.
Those days are gone. Chinese ruler Xi Jinping now believes the balance of power will soon tip in his favor if it has not already. His propaganda line is now “the East is rising and the West is declining.” This narrative serves his political interest since it bolsters the claims that he is leading the country to historic success. Communist Party foreign policy has always been tied to domestic affairs, but now with the willful Chinese authority. Significant concessions to the United States would undermine a clear semblance of national strength and threaten his hold on power.
American officials do not understand the hostility of the Communist Party. How can Chinese officials concede to a power declared to be the enemy? The regime does not respect or fear the United States. But why should it? President Biden made unilateral concessions to China in executive orders and actions

Thry know that DemonRATs and the State Department are weaklings and will do everything they can to appease.
No organization on the world has done as much to harm the USA as the State Depsrtment and it’s crew of commie Yalies.
Having an Ivy League degree should make one ineligible to work for any govt agency.
They helped install him and now they don’t respect him...Shocker.
Blinken (for God’s sake) is no Mike Pompeo.
RE: Blinken (for God’s sake) is no Mike Pompeo
Blinken’s name is appropriate. He blinks first.
Why are we continuing to fund China in any manner?
Good grief, what will it take?
It's the New Normal!
At least that awful Orange Man is out.
China could be crushed with the stroke of a pen-a law that forbids US manufacturers to do business with China and prohibits importation of any good that were manufactured in China and which imposes sanctions on any foreign power that continues to do business with them. That country would fall apart when they suddenly went from riches back to rags. They’re committing genocide against the Uyghurs. The world had better pay attention to that. It would not be tolerated by any other nation.
Smart negotiators push their advantages.
Dump negotiators like us give them away.
The CCP has nothing but contempt for Joe Biden. What’s more, their contempt for the man leads into contempt for a country and a society that would choose him over a patriot like Donald Trump.
Good grief, what will it take?

Its unlikely that there will be an outbreak of sanity and common sense anytime soon. The American people seem to prefer living in ignorance.
RE: their contempt for the man leads into contempt for a country and a society that would choose him over a patriot like Donald Trump.
But did we REALLY choose Biden over Trump?
US Politicians are lining there pockets with Chinese money, and are perfectly happy to give away the store.
Don’t like China eating our lunch? Well, then, that’s because you’re “racist”.
Blinken has been on China’s payroll for years.

The "big guy" is bought and paid for. The Chinese can blackmail him all day long if he doesn't give away the country to them.
I hear ya.
After all, our leaders are.

Hunter needs his gravy train to continue so Blinkin better listen.
That’s the Dim spin on the failed talks, which failed because the Dims wanted no request very soon for any direct meeting between the heads of state.
The State Department is the gay bastion within the Federal government. It literally loathes the American people and their culture.
