why can’t the Chinese leadership comprehend that the Americans are dedicated to an independent Taiwan nation , everything the CIA says is lies to buy time to fortify Taiwan , Blinkin and State are useless word salad
Blinken knows that his Jewish-Zionist Mafia have no hold over CHINA as it does over the USA…!! Furthermore China is now hosting the Palestinians and drafting a Permanent and Binding Peace Plan…something with the Zionist Jews absolutely do NOT want as it will finally stop them from STEALING more Arab land…!! So, yes..the Zionist Blinken has been trying to SABOTAGE any US-China rapprochement and any talks have been doomed to failure before they even begin. The typical Jewish-ZIonist modus operandi at play again…!!
Send the clown home once and for all🤡
Blinken should not visit China because the latter is an authoritarian state. Blinken should instead fight for usa decoupling from China. The latter with the majority of the world can then move on and live in peace.
“Spy balloon” claimed still. Ridiculous. Every lie count to throw mud to China.
Blinking is a failure.
No point talking now. Wait till after the 2024 election.
US begging Chinese,??? 😂😂, No wonder Chinese look down on Caucasian 😂😂
It’s the other way around 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@devildevil2271 NO, just look down on Blinken Blinken does not represent all white people, white people also have good people, we Chinese will respect
CHINA SHOULD JUST GIVE THIS WEASEL THE MIDDLE FINGER AND THROW HIM INTO THE TAIWAN STRAIT SINCE HE LOVED IT SO MUCH.
Xi meeting Gates personally just one day beforehand is such a brilliant move
is purchase of uranium gates objective? gates uranium project is now on hold since its illegal for him to purchase directly from rusia
@patrickgz Unlikely. Politicians back home and in South Korea would squash that very idea. However, doesn’t hurt to plant seeds through China for the Middle East to jump aboard.
@Voxabonable doubt usa cares much what s.korea thinks. as for uranium needed, unless usa legalizes its mining like in good old days to meet gates business needs. they have after all legalized oil drilling in alaska. more backtracking can be expected
US billionaires are the ones calling the shots anyway. Their corporations practically writes US policy.
America fighter jets and warships cruises near China’s corridors and blame China as the aggressor.
What the f#%k!
If Blinker goes to China with the same attitude than he’s wasting his as well as China’s time.
it was international airspace
GOD bless China,Glory to China in jesus mighty name Amen,the cause and foundations of the war is Italy and France Paris and,America,Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome…….
More USA Double Speak
That makes no sense 😂
More like fork tongue, kimosabe.
More like begging China not to dump their US treasury bonds 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Russia is now feuding with Saudi Arabia. Russia is giving massive 35% discount to China which is Saudi Arabia’s biggest buyer. China then turns around and refines Russian oil and floods the market with diesel and gasoline undercutting Saudi Arabia and Russia. Their alliances are falling apart they now all bickering behind the scenes.
In steps US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. LOL 😁
It’s not in China’s interest to dump US treasury bonds, both sides know that. International relations is a game of chess, not a gunfight. In that sense China appears to be the better player.
@Voxabonable If the push comes to shove, instead of unleashing nuclear holocaust that’s a much better deterrence! It hurts China, but annihilates US! As a wise man once said, “Peace Means Having A Bigger Stick Than The Other Guy”. Now go start a war over Taiwan with China!
He should go to Japan too.
Bcos Japan has dump more bonds than China.
America and europe traveling everywhere to lick boots
the reality is that nato are losing. the usa will continue to use ukraine as a proxy until they run out of them. then they will try and force europeans to get involved on the ground and those europeans will do as they are told
This is China, US needs to change their approach of dialogue. Unlike Japan or SK, US cannot just go there and train their puppy what to do. China won’t buy that.
@MERSIFULL WOLF they are strong, but not independent countries. However, if you believe what you say, it’s fine. You even can believe North Korea is the richest country in the world. You can believe anything if you want.
@Aeons Torn bro, saying those countries aren’t independent is like saying, is like North Korea is the richest country in the world
@Aeons Torn people can believe in whatever fantasy they want, like Japan and South Korea not being independent, or North Korea being the richest in the world, but that doesn’t mean it’s true 🤣😂🤣😂
@Ragnarok WS the USA’s sons grew up to be strong, independent and prosperous countries, meanwhile N.Korea is still sucking on the teet of its mommy, winnie the flu
@MERSIFULL WOLF A country without sovereignty can only be called a colonial state
china should not deal with terrorists
Then why is it lead by one? 🤣😂🤣😂
Their leader leads with an iron fist, and got rid of term limits, Xi is the terrorist
Still calling it a ‘Spy Balloon’ . LOL
@MERSIFULL WOLF then why can’t come up with evidence
@World affairs connoisseur No it wasn’t . Get serious.
@ZAZEN / Sound Canvas yes it was
@ZAZEN / Sound Canvas the spy balloon had capabilities of geolocating electronic communications. Did not have any features of a weather balloon. It was a spy balloon
@World affairs connoisseur No evidence of that. Sounds like you’ve been listening to CNN ,NYT …and believing ever word. It was a distraction at best and another anti-China piece of political theatre.
China sud take this opportunity to lecture, whack and ridicule Blinken/USA publicly in front of the whole world
Xi to Blinken : you should stay at home and sort out your mass shooting mess rather than loitering around the south China sea.
The American spy plane was in chinese air space .
It was in international waters 😊
Where do expect them to be?. English Channel.
@MERSIFULL WOLF If Chinese planes and warships sail off the coast of California, will Americans consider it to be free sailing in international waters? White people are shameless and domineering, and must be severely punished
After sanctioning China’s chip industry and coercing all allies to do the same, they now want to improve relations while selling their military products in the name of deterrence.
Blinken should go do what he has to do. But I don’t want to hear the term “unprovoked” if this strategy spirals into another military conflict
While trashing the american family.. crimminals
You are right
Forked tongue.
They banned chip because its much more dangerous than fists and stones. They did not do much harm though, cause China is quite strong now (after decades of copying). The tolerance capacity is different by person and country, might be provacative to some but not to others. China is quite good but guess the US is higher.
I don’t see anything wrong about USA helping Taiwan defending herself against the communist China though
Evil gangster china already stolen all US military tech and wants to invade Taiwan and Asia. The weak democrats blinkin is too weak and china walked all over him. Look at the expression on his face says it all. That is why I am voting Trump!!
China should open about the US’ human trafficking violations that are always eclipsed in the US media as an irrelevant story despite the existence of whistleblowers.
they can’t because it leads to a country and it’s people that we are not allowed to question.
@Tom L Ukraine? Czech?
compeition? Blinken has obviously never heard of the movie patent scam – which highlights how our US inventors are robbed of their inventions by monopolies who swoop in with their lawyers – China actually doesnt do this to their innovators – so that they can thrive and create. Want to know why we dont have exports ….. watch patent scam. BUT yheah lol China is the problem – hahaha! Blinken get a real job in the US and you will know the real issues!
This is a wasted visit because any agreement with a shyster like Blinken is useless. I hope China doesn’t take him seriously.
IT IS ABOUT TIME.
NOW CREATE SOME KIND OF NAVAL AGREEMENT THAT HELPS BOOST WORLD TRADE INSTEAS OF INCREASE NAVAL COMPETITION YOU SCHEMING MONEY FIENDS THAT HAVE NO RESPECT FOE HUMAN RIGHTS BY THE INJUSTICES THAT THEY OBSCURE
IMAGINE WAITING THIS LONG TO MEET THEM IN PERSON AFTER WE TOLD YOU😂😂😂😂😂😂
Notice the language used in this reporting: While Chinese weather balloon is being labeled as “Chinese spy balloon”, the US Spy Plane spying near China’s coastal line is simply termed as “Spy plane flying in international air space” without even specifying whose spy plane it is. Impartial reporting? What a joke!
What high stakes; you are drama queens!
America is the most evil regime in our times and must be annhilated for world peace.
don’t embarrass yourself🤣😂🤣😂
lol, says the guy using an american website🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spy balloon in this era of very advanced satellites, quantum, big data, supercomputing technology etc?? Only stupid ppl believe that.
no lecture on human rights to any sovereign nations
no lecture on how to run the government to any sovereign nations
China plus Hong Kong has over 1 trillion us $ Treasury bonds,if China due to hike in fed rates liquidate them,it will lead very inflation and collapse of many banks in usa.o think this visit the main agenda is to stop this to happen.
Blinken visits china to teach and lecture china about his gender identity and his prefered pronoun 😂
@widayanto setio what about it? 😂😂
@MERSIFULL WOLF nah, just cheers since at first i thought you are part of 🏳️🌈 😂
@widayanto setio it’s better to a🏳️🌈 than a communist
@MERSIFULL WOLF lol, i wish you become part of 🏳️🌈 then 😂
@widayanto setio never 😂
Fan here in the Philippines 🌴
US desperate to protect dollar
How does he even have the shamelessness to set foot in China? Basically the whole China sees him as an unwelcomed guest. China’s peace plan for the proxy war is for USA to pull its military bases out do the world, especially out of NATO nations.
everything you just said was horse-s*** 🤣😂🤣
winnie the flu just awarded you social credit🤣
@Dylan Grazer Take care of your diaper dementia Joke Biden that keeps falling down first. I live in USA.
America no more in charges so WY thy running from pillar Tu post WY not help u brother America are powerless America step down
Why should China help them?
Wasting time negotiating with fake friends!
Yes, the US is desperately scared that China will dump the Treasury Bonds… it’s the real reason they’re willing to go to Beijing, and they’d better get used to it… too much lecturing and arrogance from a country that’s on it’s last legs.
Can’t trust anything Americans say. Narcissistic politicians control America’s foreign policies around the world 🌎 please read James Hart Stern’s book. I’m proud to partake in this project. America’s debt trap around the world is racist arrogant, crusader mentality is greedy Warmongers that wants to police the world by the military industrial complex, prison complex, IRS, media companies, spying on your data and selling it for the highest bidder. Do you have the address to where your information is being stored? The cloud. They all must be disbanded. We need a new Constitution free from corruption and oppression. People around the world want peace not warmongers devils.
Merica blinked first.👊🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That made no sense 😂
Got you said.😊😊😊
While filling are stores with trash.. traitors
These americans coming to China for a face to face argument.
Winnie the Flu’s bots are out again 🤣😂🤣😂
Don’t worry, this will be a zero stake meeting 😁. Don’t waste your time.
Now that China isn’t doing so well, now they want to be a snake in the grass as always. Never trust China or anything that comes out of Xi. China is notorious for playing dirty and history proves China should never be trusted
This trip is counter palastine president trip to China.this shows how much Israel controls US adminstration.
Let me say. Why. How come world leader are queuing to visit Great China Chinese people’s. But United States is not on Queue list. Why why why
Out of politeness, China has to allow Blinken to come to show his hypocrisy, handshake after backstab, inconsistency between words and deeds.
China would prefer to meet with Gates, Musk, CEOs from Apple and Goldman Sachs…even LeBron James😄
🐖The British, the PENTAGON provoked the Russians to a war in Ukrainian by killing 14 thousand Russian children, women, and older man in the DONBAS area. The Ukrainian people are been used by NATO, in a planned 10 years PROXY WAR AGAINST RUSSIA. Do the people of Taipei, TAIWAN know they are next to be used by USA-NATO IN a PLANNED PROXY WAR against CHINA? The PENTAGON.BIDEN is arming Taiwan to give their Government the allusion they can win a war against China. Think, In 2014 Obama&Biden through the PENTAGON & NATO started the Ukrainian war training 900 thousands military Ukrainians and put lot of weapons including biologic-weapons “labs” in Ukraine to be used to exterminate the Russian and their promising economy as the PENTAGON intended to do in China with the COVID19VIRUS, These Bio-weapons give the Ukrainian Government the allusion they could win a war against Russia, but, most if not all of that 900K are now dead. TAIWAN will suffer the same destiny their island will be destroyed, except, if they get rid of their corrupt senators and president, for Ukrainians is too late.🐼
🚵♀Theft, slavery, extermination of native people and robbing their land, “Now using the dollar as a weapon “Legal Theft” is how Canada, Australia, United Kingdom and United States got rich. No country in the world should trust these 4 thefts, which are really one.💏
What is this idiot doing in China?
China ain’t Russia you need to keep the peace if China kicks off look out
Its not competition mr blinkin its called war …cyber sanctions military so sad
America has no right to tell other nations what to do .
America has killed a lot of black people in America and no one interfered with America.
What happens when the world demonstration of black matters what happens they won’t answer.
Blinken goes to Ukraine and tells Zelasky what to do and what to say on the world stage .
President Zelasky he doesn’t talk from his own way as the president of Ukraine and stand for his country, president Zelasky he has to follow what Joe Biden say his sugar daddy 😮.
Blah that Human Rights nonsense talk from the US again…
I can smell the farts coming out of your mouth when you speak, Blinky !
The US continues to hold inocent people in Guantanamo after torturing them for 20 years! US lecturing about Human Rights is like a prostitute lecturing about abstinence.
It is obvious China’s trust on the US has long gone, based on the fact that “the mouth says one thing and the heart does the opposite” attitude. Regardless who is being sent to China, the CPC will just put up a perfunctory act.
“嘴上说一套，心里做一套”的态度, 中国对美国的信任早已荡然无存。 不管派谁来中国，中央只会敷衍了事。
USA blinken is much ado about nothing , he at least cuts his his hair at one stage it was difficult to tell what gender he was, he is a male, right ?
Bring the carriers home
What is America’s plan for Ukrainians Russia peace plan? China is not Afghanistan or IRAQ.
Please, don’t fool everyone…
Freedom of navigation is actually freedom to spy outside your home…
Did he say human rights? Is it a case if pot calling kettle black?
Wanna deal with people who are readying to go to war with you next year?
Finally, US found out without China, the US dollars is losing its dominance.
Blinken should lecture Americans whats transgender 😂😂😂😂😂
Us just have learn to deal with a new 😊China
Usa is not sincere n a hypocrite. Don’t waste time with the yankee n don’t help them unless they lift all the sanctions. I believe they r in deep trouble if not they won’t come n see u.
How can China trust Blinken after a very intense threats over the months and the obstructions of competition where the U.S keeps on escalating and creating chaos surrounding China. And at the same time the U.S signed anti-China containment deals with other countries which makes is more harder to fix any problems coming out of this administrations and Blinken over the past course!
Tony, just don’t start with your rule-based international order…blah blah blah.
What a waste of time.
The lowest point will remain there as it is the USA that is trying to contain China.
USA cant handle the fact that China will be the biggest economy in the world.
USA wants to create a conflict or war in Taiwan so that would derail Chinas rise.
The conflict and war will also sell weapons to all its allies.
USA is a warmonger as it wants to create conflicts and wars everywhere in the world.
That will perpetuate its powers.
China wants peace among everyone so as to expand trade.
Look at the Iran/ Saudi peace deal.
The Communist Party is ungrateful! The Communist Party doesn’t know how to be grateful! The people helped the Communist Party win victory! Now the Communist Party is bullying the people in turn! Don’t let the people speak!
And why you are alive.
没有红地毯，没有政府官员的问候，没有低调的新闻在中国。每个人都知道这是一次失败的访问。
你认为的失败，这次亲俄派已经失败了
US shouldn’t be in South China
American warships and planes flew into the waters off China, and Chinese military planes drove away normally. However, Americans said that the Chinese military’s actions were dangerous and offensive. The logic of American bandits is so shameless and domineering, as American warships and planes flaunt their might and provoke Chinese people’s doorstep, whether it is for the sake of showing off to colonial brothers such as Japan and South Korea or for other reasons. China does not allow it
Blinker come to China to seek cooperation not come with your agenda try to lecture China stop your zero sum games and the hegemonic tactics
Blinken canceled his Feb trip because of a weather balloon, which USA says it was a spying device.
Lately, USA accuses that China is spying on her from Cuba, and yet he insists going to China this time. What is the difference?
All the while, USA says that she wants dialogue to prevent misunderstand and miscalculation leading to WAR.
All the while, USA is flying spy planes over China’s sky, sailing subs/gunboats in China water, forming alliances and alliance to gang up on China, cranking up military drills around China, sanctioning and blacking China’s civilian companies and all the conceivable provocations. All of the above will lead to WAR.
USA is an untrustworthy double-talker, backstabber, slimy hoodlum. USA is so desperate to confront China, poking China for war.
What is the meaning of DIALOG under all these relentless BULLS?
High high stakes poker, all in
china finally accepts your invitation, and you want to talk about their human rights.. lmao. why even bother meeting at this point if every time the US visit, they have something to trash talk about.
Cooperate USA and China for world peace and prosperity! Both need win-win!
Nothing to worry about. After all it is the US that is paying the salary of this idiot, not China.
Chinese are dangerous . We must be veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Vigilant
It’s not a spy balloon. We’ve heard nothing about this “spy balloon” since. Just like it’s been years and we haven’t seen one bit of evidence against Huawei.
The US has only one opportunity to stop the irreversible rise of China and are doing everything imaginable to stop China and destabilizing other countries all around China by creating tensions in the region.
US foreign policy is based on deceit, lies, distortions of the truth and manipulation to serve US interest.
Mike Pompeo who served as director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2017 to 2018 and as the 70th United States secretary of state from 2018 to 2021 has famously said that the US cheat, steal and lies to suit US interest in a public forum.
The US is targeting China using Taiwan as springboard to create tension and propaganda war with China.
The US is using the same tactic they created in Ukraine which is actually a proxy war between the US and its allies against Russia.
US Air Force General Kenneth Wilsbach blatantly threatened to teach China a lesson from the Ukraine situation, which could be applied to the Taiwan question.
Why the threatening language used by the US against China as a warning for what!!!
China has to manage escalation and deal with the US irrational foreign policy.
The multi-polar world is expanding beyond the US and the European-led unipolarism.
The US is becoming increasingly desperate to hold on to its hegemony by containing China and force China to submit to US interest and US foreign policy.
The fact that China is surrounded by some 40 US bases with new bases in Australia, all the way up through the Pacific, across to Asia, to Korea and Japan and Okinawa and all aimed at the industrial heartland of China.
The US and its allies tried to demonized China by creating tensions on China “so-called” assertiveness in the South China Sea and already trying to waged a confrontation against China and concocting false narrative to demonized China and blaming China for all the problems all over the world to enhance its hegemonic power.
The world do not need US “so-called” US own rules-based order unilaterally defined according to US interest and US foreign policy.
China is taking it all in its stride and deal with it according to China own interest. But what exactly has China done to received such an unwarranted threats from the US???
Who is creating an open conflict and outright hostility on China and trying to stir up trouble for China?!?!
What has China done to deserves such an unwarranted attention from a belligerent US to force China to comply to US interest and full submission to the US foreign policy!!!
Who is fabricating a false narrative of China invading Taiwan?
How can China invade Taiwan when it is part of China?
The resolution, passed on 25 October 1971, recognized the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as “the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations” and removed “the representatives of Taiwan from the United Nations.
China do not need to seize Taiwan as China is prepare to maintain the status quo of one country two systems.
There is only one system in the world, which is the international order with the United Nation at its core.
There is only one order, which is the international order underpinned by international Law of the United Nation.
There is one set of rules, which is the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
The US is trying to dominate the world and to hold on to its hegemonic power by imposing US primacy through the so-called US international rules of laws to suit its own purposes.
That’s the plight of 88% the world outside the US and the West having to suffered in the hands of the US and European powers.
The US and the West is using democracy and Western value in place of colonialism to enforce a new World Order with the US and the West at the top and the rest of the world subservient to them.
The US and the West guard their position zealously with regime change by creating chaos and instability in other countries as well as with military interventions to ousted the government of the day.
What different value and systemic challenge to the world order.
The US and the West occupied the central position in the world order.
Now western value is put in place of colonialism to enforce a new World Order with the US and the West at the top and the rest of the world subservient to them.
Blinken hypocritical visit is nothing more than attempting to mend ties temporarily so that Democrats will have a good chance in the coming presidential election. There is totally no sincerity in US politicians considering their past attitude and the “One China Policy” is nothing short of a sham to deceive China for its own benefits. The only way to show their sincerity is to withdraw its military bases in SCS, accept history that Taiwan is under China Rule since 1945 and stop meddling with China’s affairs so that China can compel Taiwan into a peaceful reunification. However, it is totally doubtful US can ever do that! At the end of the day, all these animosity will surface again when the new President takes office in 2024, be it Democrat or Republican.
I can’t wait to see what he is going to say during the press conference after he crawls back and begs to see the Chinese.
The US send a weasel to tell a bear what to do. Only in Biden’s world would this be happening. We are screwed! Blinken is no Lincoln.
*China🇨🇳 have border disputes with Taiwan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, India, Bhutan, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei.*
make border agreement & keep peace!.
If Blinken s Visit Failed . I m Doubtful China would be Interested in Future Talks or Meet till US picks the Next New Presidency & Biden s era is Over !!!
Taiwan Matter will be their Opening Talk , if No Compromise , Other Discussions will be Simply Useless !!! What is there To Talk when One thinks They are Somebody but A Nobody in the World Arena NOW !!!
In order words, the US wants a system where it can “compete” in its term, but China can’t. Yeah that is going to fly :). I can spy on you 30nm off your coast, but you have to respect me – like I walk by your house on the city sidewalk, with a pair of binoculars waiting to peek in when your wife starts to change … it’s all legal…
How many time dose the US tell other countries not to do business with China and now we see the US going over to China to do some business, this is typical of the US. If this was any other country the US would be in uproar.
Will China ask about human rights of Ingenious Natives of America? Freedom of Hawaii?
Mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, win-win cooperation
Why should USA ask China not to give military support to Rusia while Biden already given 34 billion dollar military aid to Ukrain ?
Biden totally ruins Blinken’s credibility as diplomat.
If I am Blinken, I will resign ASAP. Less than 24 hours….Hahaha…..😂😂😂
