Treat China like a subordinate country? The United States is a "foolish and arrogant" country | China | The United States
On June 7th, the Hong Kong Asia Times website published an article titled "The Biden Administration's Contradictory Style and Focus," written by Gu Pingshan, founder of the American International Strategic Alliance. The article excerpt is as follows:
Biden's China policy team has adopted a "say it, do it" strategy. Many of his cabinet officials claim to hope to meet with Chinese counterparts to discuss cooperation and collaboration - but always demand that the US conditions be followed, which means that the US reserves the right to discuss the issues it wants to discuss, but will continue to criticize, attack, and sanction China on other issues.
This is the behavior of a hegemonic and authoritarian country towards its subordinate countries, hoping to obtain their obedience and obedience.
The latest example appeared at the Shangri La Security Dialogue in Singapore. It is reported that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin hopes to meet with Chinese Defense Secretary Li Shangfu during the forum. The Chinese side refused.
The Biden administration does not even consider lifting personal sanctions against China's defense minister during Trump's presidency, and instead hopes to hold a military leadership dialogue, which appears foolish and arrogant.
Examples of hypocrisy and deception are everywhere.
Finance Minister Janet Yellen spared no effort to ask China to support the US treasury bond, and then went to Africa to warn African countries against China's "debt trap" diplomacy.
Biden claimed that decoupling from China was not his intention, but every subsequent move by his team was exactly the opposite. It seems that every potential bilateral outcome must meet the conditions of the United States. What Biden's White House doesn't understand is that it has embarked on the path of self destruction in the United States.
Biden's rule is to adhere strictly to his foreign policy, even at the cost of sacrificing the national interests of allies.
As a result, France has raised doubts about the wisdom of cooperation with the United States, while South Korea is trying to avoid losing sales to China, and the Dutch company Asma is no exception.
While the United States is threatening a "rule-based order," 19 countries have expressed interest in joining the BRICS.
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement has come into full force. The members of this partnership include ten ASEAN countries as well as China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. These countries will enjoy thriving duty-free trade. The United States can only watch from the sidelines.
Since China put forward the "the Belt and Road" initiative ten years ago, more than 100 countries have become beneficiaries of projects and investment.
The United States? It can only helplessly stand idly by, full of jealousy, occasionally making accusations, calling these projects a "debt trap".
Despite Washington's strong suppression and obstruction of China's rise, China is relatively unaffected by US sanctions and restrictions.
At the same time, China has become the most important trading partner for almost all countries in the world. The Chinese economy remains strong, and technological innovation will continue, almost unaffected by the actions of Washington. The Biden administration has almost all its efforts focused on preventing China's rise, but in vain.
