US and China trade angry words at high-level Alaska talks
BBC ^ | 3/19/2021 | Barbara Peltt Usher

he ill-tempered talks in Anchorage involved Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on the US side, facing off with China's most senior foreign policy official, Yang Jiechi, and foreign minister Wang Yi.

In a blunt opening statement before the talks in private, Mr Blinken said the US would "discuss our deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyber attacks on the United States, economic coercion of our allies".

"Each of these actions threaten the rules-based order that maintains global stability," he said.

In response, Mr Yang accused Washington of using its military might and financial supremacy to suppress other countries.

"It abuses so-called notions of national security to obstruct normal trade exchanges, and incite some countries to attack China," he added.

Mr Yang said human rights in the US were at a low point, with black Americans being "slaughtered".

Mr Sullivan hit back, saying Washington did not seek a conflict with China, but added: "We will always stand up for our principles for our people, and for our friends."

One of the classic blunders is “never get involved in a land war in Asia”.

But I think we should all prepare to get involved in a land war in Asia. Because the current administration wants to blunder.

Mr Yang said human rights in the US were at a low point, with black Americans being “slaughtered”. And that is because of the lies told over and over by dems and their puppets the media.

They are upset their shipping is being held offshore for weeks and weeks. Tens of thousands of shipping containers full of Chinese goods....not being sold in America.
It backs up their chain of exports....and monies for military upgrades they want for posturing, that in effect to insure more food imports.

They are short on food.
Food riots will make them lose control.

They should have sent that White House staffer who made the fake "Biden taking an impromptu question" fake video. He could have had Blinken being all tough to a green screen (in the safety of Foggy Bottom) with the ChiComms clutching their hearts...

What, that Biden's team was whining that they agreed to two minute opening statements and China took 15 minutes to dress down the Biden folks?

They’ll make it up off-camera. How, we can only speculate with our sick minds.
