There was an extraordinary public exchange between the U.S. and China before their high-level meetings in Alaska on Thursday. The Chinese dismissed U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan as “condescending.” In diplomatic terms, it meant that China felt it didn’t have to listen to anything they said.
A U.S. representative anonymously told the media that China was “grandstanding,” which meant essentially the same thing as the Chinese characterization of U.S. officials.
In other words, before the meetings even started, both sides had determined not to hear what the other was saying.
In case you missed it, that’s a very big deal.
CNN:
"The typically dull prelude to diplomatic meetings spiraled quickly out of control in part because of mismatched expectations and because both sides delivered speeches meant just as much for their domestic audiences as for their counterparts."
The Biden administration wants to maintain a tough line on China, particularly on areas of sensitivity for Beijing, such as human rights, and is not likely to ease up with China hawks in Congress ready to criticize any sign of weakness.

China has warned that it will not accept any threats to its “national dignity.” Trump’s claims that China was covering up the origins of the pandemic — no matter how truthful — stung Beijing, unlike any other criticism. Trump attacked China’s “national dignity” which to the Communists in Beijing is the same as attacking their legitimacy.

President Trump was able to.
We’ll have to confront their comrades, the “democrats” at the same time.
Oh, please.
Chairman Xi owns President Stolen, and we all know it.
Can We Confront China Without Blowing up the World?>>>>>>>>
After the red China/USA Alaska summit?
Under Biden/Harris m the answer is a resounding , “NO!”
Biden/Harris/s weakness will encourage more of Red China’s aggression until they are cornered and actually are forced to use the nuclear option.
If you want to, start cutting of food sales to China.
They’ve lost a lot of agruiculture last year due to flooding in addition to people leaving agriculture for the city. If food becomes expensive in China, their lower classes will riot and they’ll have to devote troops to quell it.
It’s all Kabuki.
Sure, just exclusively target China :)
Not with Joek at the helm. He will antagonize and insult foreign leaders and cause a conflagration that will cost massive American loss of life.
Hey ditzel..you’d have to confront Democrats here first
Watch network television for 10 minutes then get back to me about “blowing up the world”.
Their new and supposedly superior navy can be taken out with the touchbof a button. So can any other valuable targets. Of course we would need to have a Commander in Chief who loves America and who isn’t on the Chinese payroll.

No, they will just try to invade the SE Asian food basket. Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and others.
Biden’s gift to his Master Xi
And they responded with covid. And now we have Biden who will promptly give them everything they want.
Tariffs. Lots of tariffs. Then more tariffs on imports.
You are correct. Sadly.
This is just one crime family outraged that the other crime family raised prices.
