China goes to Alaska to dictate terms and interests to America
The Hill ^ | 03/19/2021 | Gordon Chang

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

There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved. and make China pay

How can China take seriously an administration that stole the election, confuses men and women, opens the border to illegal aliens, and shuts down energy projects, etc.

They probably view the current American negotiators as a lower species than dogs.

China kept all the check stubs for the payments they made to the Biden’s. They know they can push us around all the want and the only thing that will happen to them is they get everything they demand.

"their contempt for the man leads into contempt for a country and a society that would choose him over a patriot like Donald Trump."

Not to be offensive but:

NO ONE EFFING VOTED BIDAN INTO OFFICE! IT WAS A VOTE FRAUD COUP THAT PUT HIM THERE!
(Mind you, the CCP wouldn't have been able to pull it off without help from out and out TRAITORS, in both US political parties.)

I am just so fed up with hearing even Conservatives, say ANYTHING that implies Joe Biden was elected.

HE WAS NOT ELECTED, in any way, shape, or form.

Truly the have contempt for this sect of American politics. Remember when they made President Obama disembark Air Force One from a small exit in the belly of the aircraft. It was an intentional snub not a logistics / communication error.
