When 78-year-old President Joe Biden invited China to a get-to-know-you summit hosted by 58-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken and 44-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, he thought he could undermine the past policy of 75-year-old President Donald Trump. Trump was tough on China when it came to trade practices led by trade policy expert Peter Navarro but steered away from ideological lectures typical of Democrat foreign policy. Biden and his immediate family, including his controversial 50-year-old son Hunter and his 75-year-old brother Jim, made a fortune in China that flew under the press radar in the 2020 election. U.S. press did everything possible to cover-up Biden’s business ties with China that made him and his family millions. Media elites, in broadcast and print, did everything possible to cover-up Joe’s past business ties with China.
So when Biden’s team met in Anchorage, Alaska March 18, they thought nothing of accusing Beijing of genocide on Muslim Uyghurs in Western China, the crackdown in Hong Kong of pro-Democracy protesters and ongoing threats to the Republic of China or Chinese Taiwan. Senior Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi pushed back against Blinken and Sullivan’s critiques, telling them both that no country that had a history of oppressing African Americans should lecture others about human rights. Biden’s been all in with Critical Race Theory, white privilege and white fragility, calling the United States a “systemically racist” country. While it’s everything Biden’s radical left followers wanted to hear, it was a disaster for U.S. foreign policy. Biden didn’t want totalitarian regimes like China and Russia accusing the U.S. of human rights abuses, something brought on when Biden called the U.S. “systemically racist.”
Because of the attacks against China’s human right record has continue by Biden over the last six months, Chinese President Xi Jinping pushed back, commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the Communist Party in China [CCP]. Xi left no doubt that Bejing would not be deterred by the U.S. and European Union [EU], picking on China’s alleged human rights abuses. Xi has tried to sell himself to Western governments as Western-friendly communist leader, encouraging the world to use China as a manufacturing hub for multinational corporations around the globe. EU officials got nervous with Biden’s holier-than-thou approach to Beijing. Biden’s approach to China is one of an evangelist looking to find and convert the faithful to the American way, something Xi rejects out of hand. China wants no part of any country trying to change its totalitarian communist system.
Speaking at the Tiananmmen Squate Gate for the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi donned full Mao Zedong Communist regalia, speaking on the same balcony as Mao announcing communist rule in 1949. CCP officials made sure the Xi spoke to 70,000 communist faithful, proclaiming the party would last for eternity. “The Chinese people will absolutely not allow any foreign force to bully, oppress or enslave us and anyone who attempts to do so will face broken heads and bloodshed in from of the iron Great Wall of the 1.4 billion Chinese people,” Xi proclaimed today. Xi’s Mao-like rhetoric sends a loud message to the U.S. and EU that China won’t be bullied into giving its citizens human or civil rights. Mao talks about not being bullied by a “foreigner,” but Xi reserves the right in Mainland China and Hong Kong to crack heads and oppress anyone who disagrees with the CCP.
Xi likes to play to a domestic audience, starved of a Free Press and open communication through the Internet. CCP like to control the message to the Chinese people, saying things that appear outrageous to anyone in the West. When Chinese Foreign Minister Spokesman Zhao Linjian said May 26 that the U.S. military created the deadly novel coronavirus and planted in Wuhan, China, that wasn’t news at all in China. Chinese people are so indoctrinated, so brainwashed, so buffaloed by the CCP, that there’s no measure of reality they can use to discern utter rubbish. Yet in the West, outrageous lies backfire, causing even more doubt about China. All Chinese citizens hear about Muslim Uyghurs is that they are Islamic terrorists looking to topple the Beijing government if given a chance. Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters are also demonized as dangerous revolutionaries.
Xi’s sending Biden the strongest message possible to not mess with China. “We will turn the people’s military into a world-class military, with even stronger capabilities and even more reliable means to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty, security and development interests,” Xi said, warning the West to stop push China to democracy. It’s very self-centered policy goals at the expense of others and of the prevailing world order,” said Robert Sutter, George Washington University’s Elliot School of International Affairs. When Sutter talks about China’s “self-centered” policy, he’s referring to a China-centric foreign p policy, the same policy that prompted the World Health Organization [WHO] to reject the lab-leak theory on the origin of the deadly novel coronavirus. Xi can’t keep the story straight because all facts lead Shi Zhengli’s Wuhan Institute of Virology [WIV] bioweapons lab.
