China’s foreign minister has walked out before the start of a gala dinner at the ASEAN foreign ministers’ meeting.
Earlier in the day, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the meeting he hoped Beijing would not “manufacture a crisis” about Taiwan.

America can be such a hypocrite. You escalate situations and then blame others for it.
@Belisarius Firing missiles to Taiwan? How many people died?
@David Chinand why the Missiles? I learned that missiles give human being, or isn’t?
@David Chin well not people but definitely the fish which still proven his point
How exactly did they escalate, because they didn’t do what Bejing warned them not to? That is everything against what America stands for, this would be one thing if she was landing somewhere on China proper. This isn’t the case, THE CCP HAVE NEVER NOT ONCE ruled over Taiwan, so what gives them the Authority to dictate who goes there, because they say they lay claim to it? I’m sorry, but if anyone is escalating it’s like always anymore, China.
Winnie the Pooh hurt CCP’s feelings it’s a very sensitive government I’m glad I don’t live under
Hope you enjoy your life under “Insensitive” government…….All the best wishes to you! 😂……
I have to say USA knows their enemy to well. They know which buttons to push to produce a reaction.
I really appreciate Russia & China as they condemn USA with outspoken voice while many other countries behave with obsequiousness.
You make me laugh
@kenny kenny Your mom tells me the same thing about you.
@1Invinc proud to be american
@kenny kenny Pride in your nation is good. Blind support for a destructive policy position that does not benefit your nation isn’t.
@kenny kenny proud to be the cause of so much misery in the world …ok ….
Once Upon a time, in my childhood, I used to think USA as the most decent state in the world. Now, It seems they are only best in creating war and selling arms.
US Created the conflict, then ask for restraint and pretending to be the good and responsible one. Laughs out loud
you should had all stop pelosi but you just stan their and watch.. pathetic
Blinken has no shame in saying that lol.
U.S clearly provoked china.
China is behaving like Russia. Fear of USA and start attacking their allies like Taiwan and Ukraine. Silly China and Russia.
Some saying: US politics is the biggest threat to world👹
@Ikechukwu Ezeh some billion $ economy became 19 T $ economy and 700 million people lifted out of poverty with in 40 yrs ,is this death of humanity?????? or
West colonized and looted the world and became rich and innovative, once economically and militarly , technologically became strong , started influencing others by different methods like blackmailing, regime changes if they don’t listen U, isn’t death of humanity???????
If you really meant what you said. Why not transfer residence and citizenship either to Russia or China or North Korea. I think you are just being blinded by propaganda. While the US is open and you can scrutinize every action of the government, the same thing could not be said to China and Russia. So your assessment might be based only on the info you get from the other side.
@Merik Antiquina Paglinawan yes, that’s called westren propaganda
ASEAN are not forgetting the consequence of stubborness
Go China!!! Go Russia!!! The world is f***ing tired of the lying warmongers USA and their puppets.
The world thanks you both for putting the bullies in their place.
Reminder for ASEAN states that the US could one day sponsor:
1) Free West Papua
2) Singapura is Johor land
3) Sabah is Philippines
4) Free Isan
5) Free Rakhine
6) Laos and Cambodia belongs to Siam
7) Tuong Sa is Taiwan
8) Free Moro
@Watcher SCS border agreed in UNCLOS.ASEAN country using this border as legal reference. China also member of this organization. Why china didn’t follow UNCLOS border as member of this organization?.
@Dodi Irawan Because the islets were claimed by China. China was prepared not not militarize these islands. But Vietnam started militarizing Tuong Sa, while the Filipinos grounded the Sierra Madre and claimed it as its own. UNCLOS said nothing. China only did what other nations did first, but they did it faster. Therefore, does building faster mean that China is at fault?
Free mindanoa from filipina
More ploys for them to play. Divide and conquer.
Whole of China belongs to Mongolia
Stop buying cars, clothes with dollars
First escalating the crisis irresponsibly and then looking for diplomatic solutions to the crisis, US really acting like Biden 😂😂
If china don’t act responsibly and try to devour the small island nation…then the fall off the Asian influence in the world will go down.
There’s no need to politicize everything.
Maybe he’s just fasting!!
USA..is Jast ware in world….ple…Back to yoyr Home ..
USA..
I want to see how China’s foreign minister would react if Taiwan came to this meeting and other countries treated Taiwan like a country lol
@veleli maka Taiwan has never been a country, it’s part of China.
I doubt so as most countries don’t want to set a precedence where their country island started to declare independence. Imagine Phuket of Thailand, Penang of Malaysia, Tasmania of Australia and many more islands throughout the world. It will be HAVOC!.
@veleli maka if Taiwan turned up uninvited they will be asked to leave …..if the USA recognise Taiwan as a independent state then China will take Taiwan back and if USA gets involved then nukes will be exchanged ….does that answer your idiotic question ?…..
China should get there but smashed with iron rods
Blinken statement sounds like a threat to all ASEAN countries
Soon a break up of ASEAN.
China wants to own the whole asean region
To Blinken: the status quo has been changed thanks to Nancy. Will you do anything other than talking?
US is the very trouble maker.
Xi leave Taiwan alone don’t be another obsessive lunatic like Putin
Putin n Xi = 3rd WW
US needs to stop interfering foreign affairs. This county is causing chaos everywhere now with their sleepy president
Only one country loosing it and aiming bombs at innocent people
America has lost its global acceptance……
now the us liar is going cold, like what they did to ukriane.
Warmonger’s Blinkie sure know how to bullshit. His buddy Granny Polosi go provoking for conflict and turn around barking at Beijing.
All the vassal states of USA ended up getting destroyed or reduced to rubble and ashes just because USA used them as battlefields for theirs own geopolitical interests. It’s good that there are still nations like China, Russia and Iran that have the guts to defend themselves. Stay strong.
Wrong focus.
The tension is between China and USA. It was triggered by Nancy Pelosi.
Why not say that to US and it allies.
I want a war between America and China
US prolong the war in Ukraine now creating another one in Taiwan …
Blinkin basically said:” We broken into your house, you should not fight back as it will escalate the conflicts” 😂……Is this America’s “Democracy and Freedom ” or just its dementia manifesting?
this is what Ameican democracy means to many nations. Bombs, wars, and plunder.
@Ian Homer Pura Taiwan is a part of China and has been way before the US was even a country. Ill remind you that China has THOUSANDS of years of continuous civilization and along the way, Taiwan has been a part of it several dynasties back.
@JOHN EDWARD BINAY and thus, your comment reveals your anti-democratic tendencies. It is very sad really that you seem so very proud of this. Taiwan has never been governed by the Communist Party of China and the majority of Taiwanese would never vote for Tsai Ing-Wen if they want to be reunited with the mainland under the rule of the CCP. We live in the 21st century, not some medieval time where imperial ambition is the norm.
@Jefferson Johanes Actually again you are wrong ! A majority didn’t vote for the DPP , Only 33% of the Taiwanese parliament seats are occupied by the DPP , the rest voted for other parties , i.e. against the DPP , the DPP is only in power because it has created a coalition of parties willing to work with it to form a government, the pan green coalition, the opposition headed by the KMT , the pan blue coalition is smaller but only by 2%…
USA don’t come to Asia and don’t involved in Taiwan issues. None of USA’s business.
USA is the culprit for many wars on this earth.
Pelosi is bringing fruit of war and congratulation. Only war can save US hegemony!!!
People should learn that everywhere US go they bring chaos. ASEAN must not let US use them as a tool to contain China

Mike Pompeo: “We lie, we cheat, we steal”
This old hag is clearly spreading propaganda, why can’t you people understand that?
She is visiting a disputed region, In the name of peace, she was going to start a war between two nations, and what the US would do for help? sell guns just like they did to Ukraine, World has seen countless times what US do to their so-called allies or satellite state. They funded Pakistan to tame India, they will fund Taiwan to tame China.
ASEAN must not join, we can’t afford it, we’re still a developing countries, let them do their things and we do our things too
Why bother to meet if you can’t even keep your side of the agreement. It doesn’t help by saying one thing and doing another.
If ASEAN countries must enter the war, they should side with China, because we all had enough of US bringing chaos
First and foremost, ASEAN summit is supposed to be a platform to discuss ASEAN matters. China-Taiwan tensions is not an ASEAN matter, so why must the USA make our summit about this?
Why would you say that? Are you on planet Mars or Earth? ASEAN is involved because of ASEAN economic trade route and communist related agenda in its region, the very reason why ASEAN was form in the first place.
The conclusion is American politicians are the only aggressors.
Asian should show support for asean nations not west . That’s good. Don’t be deceived by west promises. Blinken is not real and can never be real.
The earth is not only for China and Russia
We all have territory
ASEAN can and must thrive to develop a multi-polar world order.
I’d like to make a note here for everybody.
Nancy Pelosi decides for herself to visit Taiwan to talk about things like trade and relations and the like meanwhile China thinks it’s appropriate and retaliation as a response to start launching missiles into other people’s exclusionary economical zones. Just let that sink in for a minute.
My advice to America is: stop invading countries and focus on your own pathetic obese and crime infested country. Because if you try to bully other countries and force so called “democracy” on them, then you will be sent back by force, just like you were in Vietnam and Afghanistan.
China has an ancient culture which goes back thousands of years. America is only a couple of centuries old. I have a pair of socks which are older than America. So who are you Americans to tell China how to live?
this is like russia doing some military drills but turn’s to invade ukraine hahaha
Uhhhhh why is US there?
The Americans caused and get involved in other countries family business as always all over the world, they’re regarding themselves as world’s policeman or world’s parents monitoring all other kids. From Afghanistan to Iraq, from Cuba to Syria Palestine, we Asians Africans latinos deserve a respect from America and affiliate puppets.
america caused this crisis, and anthony blinken is accusing china instead. this is outstandingly insulting for everybody in the event.
No we didn’t cause the crisis that’s just silly.
@Usul573 who are you?
And who is pelosi? Is pelosi, a chinese?
@Reagan Huang What are you trying to say?
You misspelled ASIAN
Association of
South
East
Asian
Nationa
You should do a little bit of research
1:25 Dear Secretary of State, your Speaker is the ‘pretext’.
Why is this Communist country : Rusia, China, and North Korea always think they can do whatever they want and get whatever they want..
I got a feeling that Rusia, China, and North Korea gonna destroy humanity
China has been pursuing expansionist designs for a long time now. Being a communist country, analysts believe expansionism is crucial to its ideology
You destroy other motherland
Says yours
Same thing happened in Hong Kong
In Tibet
Dictatorship of Jinping
If I’m not mistaken, Asean has no power to operate a military operation to solve those tensions that was mentioned. All It can do is talk and if those tensions escalates. Asean has nothing to do but to choose sides. I think the region needs to bring back SEATO which is similar to NATO but in Southeast asia composed of nations from Australia, France, New Zealand, Pakistan, The Philippines, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States of America to secure the region militarily once a war broke out.
And then killed the Rooster that laid the golden eggs? Like Australian attacking China and now Australia suffered economically.
If tw falls, the 1st island chain will be controlled by CHN and It will have a huge effect in the trades on that region. Once they controlled the 1st island chain, their next target to dominate is the 2nd island chain which is from japan to the island of micronesia until they will reach hawaii and probably australia. Caspian report already made a video about this.
If taiwan is part of China, there is no effect in the trades on that region.
Is ASEAN scare to condemn USA for instigating Taiwan n China tensions since 1970 USA have kill millions of innocent people in Vietnam Syria Iraq Afghanistan n Yemen n yet these hypocrites countries claim Russia
China is evil countries ASEAN ur countries have been colonize by westerner yet u ASEAN got no ball to stand up with the western countries n if wasn’t for China loan u money to do infrastructure to give better life for citizens n Chinese have never colonize any Asian countries
Pelosi is the one who manufactures crisis with the backing of Biden.
China needs to sit they @ss down and close that mouth same for Russia always bulling another country just like little kids need to grow up stop throwing a temper tantrum 🇱🇷🇺🇦🇱🇷🇺🇦🇱🇷🇺🇦
US hypocrisy at best
Dude who the h*ll is Nancy and why this dog eater country is so upset? why?
Why was America invited to ASEAN meeting?
You’re joking right?
Let the music began
Ddctd t poison
Germany and Japan actually have potential to be a mediator between great power in both Asia and Europe but unfortunately their government choose to become ‘client state’ to U.S. Notably, their government foreign policy always mirroring that policy of United States. There just no element of independence in Japan and Germany foreign policy.
China is the biggest investor for ASEAN as a friend and neighbor while the US with less investment in ASEAN is a trouble-maker in ASEAN.
Tell that to the millions living on the Mekong river, the fisherman kicked and fished out of their own ASEAN fishing grounds, the ASEAN sons and daughters tapped by the malicious Chinese criminal gangs and the poor endangered regional wild life traded for exotic soups and medicine.
Ask US old lady what trouble she cost……… the US also achieve it objective to destabilise … and accuse others….. US did the same in middle east too ….
Save asia
GREED POWERS US AND CHINA ARE BUNCH OF STUPID… ASSERTIVE TO THEIR OWN UNQUENCHABLE GREEDINESS TO OWN THE WORLD 🌎🌎 GREED DESTROYS EVERY EMPIRE ON THIS PLANET 😂🤣🤣
US is dreaming
It’s Asean….why the fxxx are the usa doing there ??
China will not stop at taking your ASEAN sea territory, fishing dead your seas, drying up your rivers with upstream dams, striping your natural resources once they bash Taiwan into another Hong Kong. This is not about history or east verses west (US), this is about acting with a sense of dignity and your own destiny.
Love China 🇧🇩❤️🇨🇳
Taiwan is a democratic country, while China is a brutually controlled communist dictatorship country only.
Whats so hard to understand. Taiwan have a self-governing body one with democratic vote at that, an independent military, its own currency, clear border. With all intense and purposes taiwan is a sovereign country. What china will do is easily an act of aggresion toward other country.
Wow, I’m overqualified for ASEAN business.
Xi told the PLA to prepare for war, Xi is going to invade and take Taiwan at any cost to be remembered as the GOAT leader for the future generations to come. But the PLA princesses ready to die for him?
Asean love peace♥️
The fail rock start like to bring other issue to keep us entertain… we still waiting what is US contribution to ASEAN.
BLINKEN should have started his talk by SCOLDING NANCY -THE AGITATOR and demanding that FOR THE SAKE OF WORLD PEACE she must stop all future travels and JUST STAY IN AND NOT LEAVE HER FAVORITE BEAUTY PARLOR . THAT SHE NOT WORRY FOR SHE WILL BE SERVED HER FAVORITE ICECREAM. AT THE EXPENSE OF CHINA , OF COURSE ! ! !
The USA has not sought to diffuse tensions
it is the main cause of tensions and the only way peace can be achieved in this world is by the total annihilation and destruction of the USA
we need to provide iraqis, syrians libyans and Afghans with nuclear dirty bombs and provide them with logistics to reach the homeland of the USA
once the homeland of the USA comes under a seige and is totally annihilated we will have world peace forever.
problem is…US is jealous that other countries will take over as supreme leader of the global community…
Taiwan deserves the right to see any diplomat from wherever they want, whenever they want, without consulting Beijing. They have their own government, laws, economic development, bilateral relations, and military, completely independent from Beijing. They are a separate country in everything, but name. It is actually the CPC that is acting as the bully and imperialistic power trying to force Taiwan in a union that the majority of the country rejects. The US has not acted “provocatively” by participating in a basic diplomatic discussion that happened with a handful of other countries during that time.
Since you think Taiwan is free to do what it thinks, mainland China can do whatever it thinks. This is the law of the jungle,Enjoy it and good luck.
@Stephen lee Taiwan is free to do what it wants in its own capacity, same thing with China, but trying to invade another independent country is imperialist. It makes them no better than the US in that capacity. This nonsense framing of “the evil imperialist west” is absurd, because China is equally just as imperialist. It will violate and invade the sovreignty of others because “it can do what it wants”. Also, it the “law of the jungle” as you put it, China cannot invade Taiwan, because it is militarily incapable of taking it with the help it gets from the US, so again, good luck.
@Squiggles
🤣We’re just learning from American Do you have a problem with that?
US the warmaker
Vote in respected honest Professionals, NGO, Community Leaders etc..!
Careered Self Enriching Politicians & Serving interest of cronies & connected corporations bad bad for ordinary citizens.
Blinken just unashamedly made that statement fully aware that IT IS THEM who were the outsider “manufacturing tensions” by constantly having their navy fleets sailing around Taiwan. IF, China’s many many official reassertions do not go into their ears, then it is useless to engage the US to any ASEAN forums. It is also actually non of their business to be there, and if they want to come, invite also the African nations to come.
China has no business there either. What is your point?
@Faith Mwangi You are very wrong
@Daniel Chou China has a lot of business being there …. Taiwan was settled by Chinese people from the mainland , Chinese people fought and died for the sovereignty of Taiwan as part of china through out history , to give Taiwan up without a fight is an insult to all the ancestors who died fighting foreign powers who coveted Taiwan ….so China does have a lot of business being there.
@The real deal The people of Taiwan should be making these choices, not the PRC.
I would much rather side with China than US as an ASEAN inhabitant. The only thing US has done here is put military bases. At least China comes with contract in hand ready to build and provide.
Yes because it is nice at least the US actual Asked to put a base. Instead of China just claiming its theirs and putting their base on it anyway.
We should kick japan and south korea out of asia,traitors harbouring the rednecks for protection,and causing tensions in our peacefull asia,even tho they got nuked by the very same country.Shameless i had respect for japanese and korean people before,but sadley i have lost all respect,kick these cia paid and put in place puppet government out of your country,make peace with your neighbour not war,together we will prosper,devided we will fall,the west has a PHD in devide and rule,they have mastered this tactic.🇧🇩
The USA is flashing the green light for China.
Non of these conflicts would have happened but for weasel Biden.
All the experts said Russia would not invade Ukraine, but they did. Americans only heard one side of the store. Now, Zelensky calls the shoots for the Free World for now. Zelensky has the power to topple leaders. After a cold winter that may drastically change.
What’s really stopping China? They have the whole microchip market at its teach. Pelois is calling the shoots in the USA. She’s a bully. But, after a worldwide freeze on microchips caused by China, things may change.
Free world politicians are worried about their own power and money than what they should be doing, like preventing crisis like these from happening.
When times were somewhat peaceful and stable, Zelensky and Pelois we’re aggressors. Zelensky bullied Russia areas and Pelois bullied Trump and republicans. Dems unjustifiable pulled Putin through the mud. Both leaders disregarded the long-term consequences to others in order to gain instant notoriety and influence. They are gangsters with many others invested in their schemes. Now Russia and China is showing who really is boss. The Free world is full of politicians, like Zelensky and Pelois, from divided nations. They feel off of division. Unlike them, Russia and China are united nations with all the time in the world.
There will never be any future for USA, democracy DPP in Taiwan island of PRC !
if i was China, I’d tell Taiwan they got about 12 hours to come kowtow to President Xi, make daddy happy and that would be the end of it. Not worth all this time wasting on tiny Taiwan. It’s just a small province. But as usual, the west likes to start problems.
