There are no words to describe how much I loathe this man
Why do they keep doing this just before visiting? Is it some sort of power play?
And this time in the middle of an actual genocide they’re enthusiastically supporting
Jesus fuck
on one hand shipwreck tells a compelling story that biden and his circle are exceedingly competent political operators playing a 5D chess game to ensure dollar supremacy. On the other hand they constantly do deranged shit like this.
They’re the pawl to the republicans ratchet. They exist to prevent a shift to the left. They might not get elected this time, but that’s ok, the ratchet will turn and all those ungrateful protestors will come crawling back just to make it stop. Then they get to cement the republicans gains while threatening further harm if not re-elected.

Idk, they do keep doing the unexpected thing and it keeps kind of working out for them
if they keep things off-balance no one really knows what the fuck is going to happen

The weakness of the dollar hegemony that Biden himself created has been patched up, with the latest $95 billion spending bill
I’m not sure I buy this for two reasons. First, I am somewhat unconvinced that the recent dedollarization activity was organized enough to be effective at all, regardless of the actions of the US in response. And second, the amount of money being spent on war is almost a rounding error for the total number of dollars in existence. So I think the dollar hegemony is weak but has not yet been threatened, in other words.
Tbh Biden does have a lot of foreign policy experience, as does his cabinet. So a lot of what’s happening isn’t really all that surprising when the US is in the geopolitical situation it’s in and throwing its weight around more frantically than before.
What loses me is when things like Argentina going the way it has or Israel instigating Iran is somehow Biden pulling the strings and not just him taking advantage of a situation.
I believe its to not seem weak on “the china issue” to the local audience. Like “We’re going to try diplomatic means with the chinese (again), because we’re the good guys who don’t want a war, but don’t you worry we see them for what they really are.”
Then any concessions the US makes to the evil chinese “regime” are reasonable realpolitik necessities because of very complex diplomatic issues with a country thats notoriously tough to reason with and at the same time any concessions the chinese make are not good enough because it didn’t bring that evil “regime” to its knees.
Empire flails as it goes down
Core of the state is rotten through, their ideology is hollow and meaningless and endlessly self-referential, the president is someone whose brain is mush and would have been dead a decade ago if he wasn’t incredibly rich and powerful, etc. etc.
That claim by Blinken requires some audacity… It’s crazy to me that people are still tolerating the bullshit. But here we are. There is no limit to what the average American lib will take.
Your average American lib actually believes in this shit
No doubt conservatives believe it too. This entire country is just feral hogs
America is a rabid hog, it should be
‘Yes there is a genocide in Xinjiang, even though every actual attempt to prove this has resulted in a debunking’
‘Also, Israel has a right to defend itself’
This fucking guy
And yet so many Western leftists still believe this shit.
Of course they do, they’re all liberals
🤡
Bro is contractually obligated to say this lmao
incredible diplomacy, truly

“This is deeply offensive, you’re wrong and you suck.”
“Anyway can I book a new hotel? Can I confirm another Yellen visit for June as well while we’re at it? I hope you can you’ll enjoy your stay we have a lot of important business deals to talk about!”
Clown party, talking about the UN and Gaza as if this is a gotcha. The audacity to peddle this shit 6 months into said genocide when China still hasn’t even put a single sanction on Israel nor given unilateral support for Iran or anything else that matters in the real world. This is the same UN that was pro-Ukraine and against your great friend Russia lol.
This is the clown party that mourned Kissinger, just says US bad without actually standing up for anything except transactional relationships. Denounce US/Israel genocide in Gaza while hoping for normal relationship with said genocidal country.1
The Chinese people will always remember Kissinger’s historic contribution to the normalization of China-US relations, Wang said.
“Time has proved, and will continue to prove, that the political resolution that Doctor Kissinger and Chinese leaders made back in those days is in line with the fundamental interests of people in both countries, the trend of the times and the expectation of the international community,” he said. Wang praised Kissinger, who passed away on Nov 29 at the age of 100, for his foresight as a diplomat, strategist and statesman. Kissinger had always viewed China’s development in an objective and friendly manner, Wang said.
Kissinger was convinced that China and the US should and must coexist in peace, Wang said, adding that the former US secretary of state was good at finding common ground and cooperation opportunities from differences between the two countries.
Don’t get me wrong, the CPC is extremely correct on every internal issue, but their recent FP is an big pile of shit, embarrassing shit, you would be hard pressed to tell this is the “communist party” if you didn’t know better.
You should write them a strongly worded email.
Some of your criticisms are quite unfair.
China still hasn’t even put a single sanction on Israel
They appear to have placed “shadow sanctions”
Denounce US/Israel genocide in Gaza while hoping for normal relationship with said genocidal country.
China is still vulnerable to actions taken by the US. Even if you ignore the US’s influence over world food supplies, the US military is still a major threat. Furthermore, today’s globalised economy is fragile in many ways. Any misstep or failure point could trigger massive chaos. Remember how at the start of the Ukraine war, many countries were pushed toward extreme food insecurity?
What is the Chinese response to this? Doesn’t seem like something you can just roll over on
if i were them, i’d have the talks with blinken but ban all translators and insist on conducting the whole thing in mandarin
Insist you have the talks in one of the United States many
concentration campsprisons that just so happen to house a disproportionate amount of minorities in well-documented conditions that have been critiqued by the UN several times, as they are worked to the boneas free labourpaid 0.01 $ an hour. Or Guantanamo.it’d be amazing if china sent a diplomatic mission to the US that did nothing but look at prisons, and complain that they werent allowed to inspect the CIA blacksites…
The UN kinda did something akin to that in '15 or '16. They sent someone to investigate the quality of life in the US. The guy who was in charge straight up said that “the US is always quick to point the finger at other countries, so we figured it was about time we looked in their backyard”. The report itself is kinda what you’d expect: It concludes that by (almost) all measurements the US should have been classified as a “developing country” and it only didn’t because it was the US. Kinda damning

holy fuck lmao
Bro hasn’t blinken read the wikipedia article??? It says persecution not genocide.
I wonder where this bozo gets his sources?
The frustrating part is how this works not just on westerns, but non-westerners too. Wasn’t that South African advocating for Palestine also throwing in China for Xinjiang?
It’s even more frustrating when people see what’s happening in Gaza and deny it’s genocide while claiming what’s going on in Xinjiang is.
South Africa is weird, you have extremes on both ends. You have people spouting the most insane pro capitalist, pro western and pro israel talking points. These are usually the wealthier people living somewhat comfortably. But you also have a lot of people who deeply understand the need to resist western hegemony and neo liberalism.
The problem is also the desperate conditions that the majority live in. You’re so utterly exhausted, mentally and physically, at the end of the day that you don’t have energy to think about other things.
What a fucking idiot
