To say the first major diplomatic summit between the United States and China was an unmitigated mess would be an understatement. Apparently U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken thought it would be of value for the domestic audience if he was to lambast the Beijing delegation in public and on camera. His efforts were a complete fail as the Chinese knew everything was presented for domestic consumption… so, the Red Dragon threw fire right back onto the purple hair and obviously stunned an unsettled U.S. Secretary.
The train wreck was started by challenging China publicly, in front of the international press, likely believing such an aggressive posture would weaken Republican criticism about the Job Biden administration being soft/weak on China. However, using a joint press conference as the forum only provided insult to the Beijing delegation.
Public insults are expressions of weakness, not strength.
It was visibly obvious that Secretary Blinken stupidly did not anticipate the Chinese officials would retaliate in their remarks responding to him.
The Chinese diplomatic team is exceptionally skilled at verbal combat; they use facts and evident weakness to their advantage. Blinken’s foolish decision gave the Chinese officials a rare opportunity to dress down the Secretary of State very publicly in front of the international media.
Secretary Blinken was visibly shocked and destabilized by the strength of the returning words from the Chinese team. His response was extremely defensive; ‘he doth protest too much’, and he was incoherent. Blinken also repeated JoeBama’s ridiculous catch-phrase “America is back.”
Additionally, despite Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan’s criticism of China, there was not one word on Beijing’s responsibility for the coronavirus. Nothing about China allowing COVID to become a dangerous pandemic, and no criticism of Beijing for their continued refusal to cooperate with international investigations of the origins of the virus, including inspections of the Wuhan bio-labs.
Overall this was a pathetic (weak) and sophomoric (feeble) attempt at diplomatic confrontation; while being disrespectful and completely devoid of fact points to frame the purpose of the diplomatic meeting. The first rule in any negotiation or confrontation is to use the behavior, the accepted empirical action of your adversary, against them.
The U.S. delegation did not cite any factual examples only platitudes and generalities. This allowed a much more prepared Chinese delegation to use the stage to frame the confrontation as without merit, and embarrass the U.S. contingent. After Blinken used the catch-phrase a “rules based international order”, the Chinese shot back with a big truth: “the United States does not talk for the world, only for the United States government.” The U.S. team was dead silent and without retort.
The U.S. team was so badly beaten by the Chinese, so brutally caught off-guard, Secretary of State Blinken had to call the press back into the room after his team put together counterpoints. Yes, the U.S. team called the reporters back into the room -after opening remarks- just so they could make statements the international audience would hear. THAT is embarrassing.
All-in-all a major fail on so many levels. The JoeBama diplomacy now appears weaker and more reactionary than the Jimmy Carter diplomacy. Adversaries will take good advantage of the U.S. ineptitude.

A picture says a thousand words…
U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinkin needs to ask Hillary for her Russia reset button so he can use it on China! That worked so well on Russia!/s
The only thing Dems are any good at is CHEATING, Lying, and Destroying things other people made.
Commies, in short
… they’re using that reset button on US….
To many things are being done on purpose and this is just another one of them.
Deliberate destruction of this country and our enlisted who have gave it all for decades to end up here right in front of us and you can bet Osama is laughing while egging the communist on
Honestly I hope you are wrong no because it’s so pleasing seeing these snobbish elites be humiliated in real time.
The celebratory cocaine, heroin, crack, and meth are flowing at Barry’s crib…
Being good at stealing an election is not the same thing as being good at running a country.
Amen.
The dems are good at things like lying stealing cheating deceiving whining complaining stealing raising taxes lying and stealing.
Theyre not good at anything else. They cant make anything new or profitable. They cant improve anything. They cant fix anything. They cannot govern anything. Look at blue states and blue cities everyone tries to escape.
Anything of value that they touch turns to ???
Please add two more piles. It has overflowed the bowl by now and we are only three months in.
I should have read down a few posts before I commented. I guess it’s obvious, how true your statement is to everybody. Including the Chinese. God help us.
Sort of like the proverbial dog who catches the car.
Biden does have a diplomacy ace up his sleeve. An experienced negotiator with international experience including China.
None other than Robert Hunter Biden, familiar with the Chinese Intelligence Community.
The best part about Hunter Biden ? Even if China has nothing compromising documented on him, they can still pretend that they do and blackmail The Big Guy.
Should have sent him to ask for another 1.5 billion, with a kicker for the Big Guy.
… this is worse than Chamberlain… with associated potential consequences…
You are so right Mopy Dick, much much worse.
America is in big trouble.
Countries around the world, like china and n korea, know a damned fool when they see one.
This is our sos? God help us. He should be running av and fetching coffee what a wuss.
The Canadian trade delegation and disposition comes to mind
This is quite the dressing down by the Chinese delegation.
Indeed! Wow.
Sheesh , can’t Biden’s grand daughter serenade the Chinese delegation and
sooth the savage Dragon’s tender ears.
Nu she’s spoiled goods.
I would not imagine the CCP would be fool enough to send a delegation that was not sharp witted, and did not possess a significant knowledge of the American Government and culture.
They would not leave things to chance in order to steer the dialogue, or in this case a tongue lashing to those who were clearly unprepared.
These would be negotiators are used to dealing with RINO’s who just roll over and slink away.They had better check with their”Mommy”before they have any more negotiating.She would be far better than those”Doofus”How embarisment.
Chinese lead negotiator said that the US govt speaks only for the US GOVERNMENT (i.e., not the citizens) True. He didn’t need to read his script like Tony Blinked did. What a huge humiliation.
Coordinated. Obama wants the US humiliated in front of the world. He is in charge. These are his people.
This is Obama’s vision for America, weak, defeated, a third world country being dominated by non-white countries.
This administration is the vassal of the CCP.
China’s Yang, full quote (via Moon of AL). That Guardian clip stopped before Yang’s comment ended. I starred the spot where the Yang comment continued beyond what the guardian clip presented:
“Well, I think we thought too well of the United States. We thought that the U.S. side will follow the necessary diplomatic protocols. So for China it was necessary that we made our position clear.
So let me say here that, in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength. ***The U.S. side was not even qualified to say such things even 20 years or 30 years back, because this is not the way to deal with the Chinese people. If the United States wants to deal properly with the Chinese side, then let’s follow the necessary protocols and do things the right way.”
Left completely out of the US State Dept transcript was this from China’s Yang:
“History will prove that if you use cutthroat competition to suppress China you will be the one to suffer in the end.”
Big Tech saw disasters like this coming… hence the reason for muzzling PDJT.
lol
The only thing these people are good at is stealing an election.
These idiots are gonna start a war. A real war this time. Mark my words, they are going to try to hit them from behind and run away. These idiots are a danger to the whole world.
I’ve been thinking the same thing from day one. War, either from Hubris, or willful desire to rid the planet of eaters, these people are dangerous to the entire planet. We may not survive the year, let alone 4.
They want a war with Putin as a distraction from their socialism at home surrender abroad policies. They wouldn’t dare go after China.
Russia and China signed a mililatry pact after the US sponsored coup attempt in the Ukraine.
China would prefer the US go to war with Russia as it would leave nearby nations and territories vulnerable to Chinese annexation/occupation for resources like Siberia, and could severely weaken both nation’s militarily at the same time.
This is a win-win for China if they can instigate this conflict.
Test
I honestly cannot wrap my mind around how anyone can any longer make any excuse for this complete charade and disaster. Are there no adults anywhere to say, enough already!
You mean adults within the Uniparty/Deep State that controls the levers of power inside the US?
lol….
NO. There are none.
I appreciate your point made, I mean adults everywhere. The clown show we continue to watch in horror needs to be put back in the carnival box and put on a shelf for good.
Agreed. I can’t bring myself to talk to anyone I know who voted for this charade. I am shocked and disappointed in them.
“After Blinkin used the catch-phrase a “rules based international order”, the Chinese shot back with a big truth: “the United States does not talk for the world, only for the United States government.” The U.S. team was dead silent and without retort.”
Notice that the Chinese did not say“only for the United States”, but rather “only for the United States government.”
offcoursenation: Trenchant observation. Blinken walked right into that one. A complete dufus, tossing around vapid slogans from foreign affairs faculty lounges and cocktail parties with the UN and EU crowd.
This is a less than subtle hint, and a snub that the CCP knows they can end what little credibility Joebama has.
Now we can expect more of this sort of thing as they essentially can blackmail him with near impunity.
R F Burns: I agree. The Chinese have done their homework and know that a signficant portion of the U.S. electorate consider the JoeBama Regime to be illegimate. Both the Chinese and the Russians will use this knowledge to their own advantage.
President Trump was tough on China, but I wish he had been even tougher. He should have placed tariffs on everything imported form China, including electronics. There were too many exemptions that allowed China to weather the storm.
You have touched on the fact that many goods are sourced from China.
What is really concerning, is just how many of those components and materials in many global supply chains to manufacture goods, the sole or majority source is China.
Unfortunately those supply chains cannot be moved overnight and some of these things had to be tolerated while other suppliers could be brought online, and supporting industries setup for that task.
Now that Joebama occupies the Oval Office, that effort will be discarded as those trade arrangements were not desirable for globalism.
He was prioritizing and doing it incrementally. He was purposeful in choosing steel and other industries to bring back manufacturing and open companies here. He was squeezing them financially while still leaving the door open to negotiate. Had Trump had his win, major progress would have been made with China. Trump was killing their economy. Instead they waited him out and helped to throw the election to Biden. DEMS stole the Trump win. I don’t think anyone saw the massive fraud with voting machines etc.. Trump was counting on a second term. If the GOP doesn’t get control of the Senate at a minimum during the midterms, I doubt Trump will run again and plus this voter fraud has to be addresses.
How dependent we are on China is overwhelming.
Blinkin blinked.
Mr. Trump needs to show them how its done.
It would seem that the vegetable occupying the White House, has put together an administration made up of rec level bit players. Amateurs, that can’t compete on the world stage. Expected, since most are stain administration retreads.
Social Justice Warriors, one and all. Not much good for anything, but the division and devaluation of our own country.
The most important feature about the Biden cabinet is that it is the most DIVERSE ever in US history./s
I can’t even take his name seriously.
Winking, Blikin nodded…
I don’t believe it just happened that way.
See how Demoncraps treat anyone in their way. They destroy them, they are evil and will stop at nothing. They don’t take crap like that.
Obama loves to make America look weak, he goes around apologizing for America, so does Kamala.
I think this will be their foreign policy. Be weak, pathetic while getting what they want.
No way this just happened. It’s way too much in line with Obama’s thinking . Watch the US being humiliated.
I agree.
While Mr. Blimpkin, oops, I mean Blinkin (with a name like that – can he really get into any stare-downs? Don’t blink first, Blinkin!) –
while he may be a useful idiot tool; behind the scenes it was likely orchestrated – to proclaim to the world that China is ascendant and the USA is becoming a world-fool. Blinkin may not have been in on it (in order to have a “genuine” reaction.
It’s all part of the DemoCommie-Uniparty delivering the USA on a platter.
Mike Pompeo: “Miss me yet?”
We know that behind the scenes the Xiden people will literally kiss China’s people’s arses.
Srikas. Everyone of them
Watching Fauci and Blinkin get their asses handed to them have been the highlight of the week! “The US does not have the qualification to speak to China from a position of strength”. Ammo up if you are waiting for the military to protect you they’re busy making sure Tranny’s and preggers feel included.
I have been researching
(since January)Mexican towns and cities to move to in case I have to make a run for it. I want to be ready in the event the flash appears on the horizon. Things don’t bode well for us and we are just two months in. I urge folks to have a plan B.
I’ll head to our neighbor to the north..could drive there in a few hours if needed.
You’d do better escaping to British Columbia or Alberta in Canada. Mexico has too many Mexicans. Tijuana had 2,500 homicides in 2020 while a few yards across the border San Diego had 18. Do you want to know more?
Excuse me, but I am of mexican descent and am fluent in spanish. You are wrong about the crime as the expats and travelers in mexico report their excellent safety records. Tijuana? Really? Did you know Merida is one of the safest cities in mexico? Stop watching CNN and learn from those down there. I can go to Austin and am sure I would find more than 18 murders. Sorry you have an apparent disdain for Mexicans. Would never go to Canada, too cold and possibly full of snobs and bigots.
Hey, I am no Bigot ?,and attended PDJT rallies in Washington State.
Our town is very nice thank you, and the weather mild and on the Pacific Ocean.
We have no crime to speak of, race issues are contrived.
You can walk back over the sand and home to the U.S.A in a few minutes.
A rundown rancher on a decent lot gets bidding wars on property listed at approx $1,300,000 ( Can)
Many Americans have bought homes here over the years, and we personally have rented homes to 3 Americans working here over the last 20 years or so.
I enjoy Mexico and thoroughly enjoy our trips to the Southern tip of the Baja. Our neighbours own a place in San Jose Del Cabo.
80% of the resort is owned by Canadians.
God Bless PDJT
God bless PDJT
Campeche is nice also.
I’ve actually been thinking semi-seriously about an RV so I can get off the grid if necessary. Initially, I was looking at states I’d rather live in (I’m in southern NV), in particular Florida, but the dicier this all gets, the more I’ve been thinking the ability to be mobile and disappear into the wilderness makes more sense.
The Chinese clearly, CLEARLY, knew in advance everything, word for word, that Blinkin and Sullivan were going to say, and had their response prepared and ready to deliver, leaving Blinkin/Sullivan stunned. Leaks at State? Spies at State? Prepared remarks typed on a compromised laptop?
The contrast between the Jobama team of well credentialed lightweights and Trump’s team of smooth experienced killers is stark and in-your-face. Biden’s handlers traded away all the starters, and just had their asses handed to them when they sent their practice squad up against Brady’s Bucs.
It just wasn’t that technical. Prepared statements addressing various issues would be on hand in advance, I would think.
It’s an appropriate name for the JoeBama foreign policy:’Blink’en. Because they will each time.
Think of how MSM treats Ds opponents or anyone who dares to question them.
See how the swamp treats opposition (see Jan 06 protests)
Now watch how they play this down and still respect China.
It was planned. Because they are not angry about it and MSM is not attacking China. They are playing it down.
If this had upset them, MSM would have been given orders to start their usual coordinated attacks. They aren’t.
The Chinese know if push comes to shove they have all the details on Joe’s business profits from Hunter’s China connections acquired for doing nothing but being Joe. Mister 10%.
Joe knows they know. That information will be used to “shape” the big picture, not frittered away on the small stuff.
The Chinese are far more sophisticated operators than any hick mercantile US politician.
I believe the the Chinese hierarchy can’t believe the absence of patriotism in the US body politic.
They are Belt and Roading Asia while the US is vitally concerned with transsexuals in the military.
Ya gotta laugh.
Cheese! Train wreck on isle 5.
Biden, Blinkin, and Nod
fell asleep on the midday sod
when time for to sup
they wouldn’t get up
could only be moved with a prod.
Why would the Chinese act like this? Don’t they know we now have women and transgendered in top level positions!
Lots of truth bombs from Darren Beattie today –
O Biden kissed Iran’s butt the other day..
This is our future negotiating from ignorance and weakness..
Perhaps Biden thought that China was weak because of the money Hunter got..
This is pocket change for China if they can bring the US to their knees without having to fire a shot…
MAGA
This is as bad as when Jack Kennedy was made to look like a weak frat boy (which he was) at the Vienna summit with Khrushchev in 1961. At least Kennedy admitted to his good pal, NY Timesman Scotty Reston, that he was chewed up and spit out by the Soviets. We are likely to see disasters like the Bay of Pigs fiasco (which directly led to the Soviet missiles in Cuba) to the USA backed overthrow of President Diem in South Vietnam. Xiden and his Leftist masters dream about humiliating the US and they are serving it up in big scoops.
Obama has said many times he wants equality, reparations, redistribute the wealth around. He views the US as an oppressor, who grew by exploiting other countries and POC.
He despises colonialism.
His dream is to level the playing field.
How do you make the whole world equal? By bringing the US down to their level.
It’s impossible to bring 3rd world countries to our level. So we need to go down to their level. That’s why they need mass immigration, the economy killer, the new deal etc.
Obama wants the US humiliated. That’s why he promotes BLM, riots, they want to damage our image.
Expect more and more humiliation, more anarchy at the border, more economy killing measures. All part of the plan.
Unless we decide to decisively fight back.
? “To dream the impossible dream…” ?
After the election fraud,I had asked my friends over there if they needed any help”When”the shootin starts.They said to me”Don’t bother,nobody cares”To say that I’m saddened is an understatement.Not because I want to fight,but because I expected that THE PEOPLE would rise up and stomp the living”Bejesus”out of these traitors.Instead all I’ve gotten is well get em in 2022……..Ain’t gonna happen people.
Soros put him in place and used race to get him there….
“Public insults are expressions of weakness, not strength.”
Something they would have learned from President Trump’s example of using praise publically, (just as the Chinese use a panda mas) while behind the scenes President Trump’s trade team controls negotions.
They hate him so much, they just KNOW they know better than orange man, and now their arrogance is a huge embarrassment.
This is the first step in crawling back with their tails between their legs, promising to reverse President Trump’s tariffs.
sign
Blinken and Biden wouldn’t even have their jobs if China hadn’t helped them steal the election.
No wonder China’s not in the mood to be lectured by one of their mid-level American employees about a “rules-based international order”.
After President Trump’s diplomacy and brilliant touch, this is absolutely mortifying.
I seriously doubt Joe even noticed. But I do like Catturd.
Look at me, look at me…. how “confronting” am I .
As the Beatles hinted…”Gotta be strange looking cos he’s so hard to see”.
She wants the Chinese to take her even more seriously she could wear a bikini.
Democrats stole the election to finish Obama’s job of “fundamentally transforming America” Destroying America, flood us with mass immigration to the point our culture is dissolved and the flag means nothing.
Remember Michelle? “All for a dammed flag”… “for the first time in my adult life I’m proud to be an American”. Yep! These people hate this country. Always have. They fund BLM and Antifa. This is what they want. Total destruction. Reset.
Obama is controlling Biden. He is going to make sure he finishes his job this time.
They have the military to hold us back and are daring anyone to get in their way. This is their final stretch. The great reset is coming.
Sharks and minnows, and the clueless, hapless, inexperienced and apparently incompetent Blinked sailed in on the S. S. Minnow with his rag-tag gang and got their arse’ handed to them.
Could they even stand up and slink out of the room after that spanking?!
This of course does not bode well.
*Blinken*, but ‘Blinked’ fits just as well.
Super awesome that our own domestically developed insane critical theory is being used against us in geopolitics!
woo hoo!
Im gonna go put up some anti-colonizer signs in my yard! Be right back!
Thank you President Biden!
I think one of the key items that Trump understood and used with China (via the Dragon / Panda persona and face saving culture that Sundance has written about many times) is that while his team was doing their job and had careers on the line and the CCP delegates had their lives on the line and the lives of their family. If they show weakness and lose face they can and will be disappeared from within. The only match for that is full love of country which the MAGA team had in abundance to where they could play nice publicly and still do the fundamental things necessary to right the trade ship. So Trump never publicly insulted any Chinese officials. He just dealt a firm hand and a fair hand. He told them how it would be if there was not fair trade and then he followed through. He would give them a chance to recover and then he would press on. He even said many many times that he did not blame CHina but that he blamed US leadership from both parties for over two decades. Trump blamed guys like this idiot Sec of St. and rightfully so. He is negotiating for a pat on the back from the big club and the Chinese guy is keeping his wife alive and his sons and daughters alive. NO CONTEST!
very good take. liberals are nasty. trump told all other countries to deal with their own interests in mind. BECAUSE WE WERE.
To top off the arrogance, Blinken is NOT wearing a mask.
John Kerry School of Diplomancy.
I found it interesting that the Chinese were wearing masks. Would have been real interesting if they showed up without them. I wonder if Blinken and Nod would have lectured them on that.
“Blinken and Nod”
Very good Zy ??
it will get worse. wouldn’t it be wild if the actions of these fools and their foreign policy was what started an uprising in america, and not gun control and burning cities? purple hair. phfffttt…
Anyone can get into Harvard. Just more proof.
