Why Did China Facing Endless Troubles from Washington Accept a Visit from Blinken Aimed at Disrupting China’s Relationship with Russia?

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Blinken Accuses China of helping Trump Steal the Election in November

Last time it was Russiagate. This time will it be Chinagate?

https://www.rt.com/news/596656-blinken-cnn-election-interferense/

While Blinken accuses China out of one side of his mouth, he threatens China out of the other side with sanctions unless China abandons its support of Russia. https://www.rt.com/news/596632-blinken-in-beijing-russia/

At the same time, Blinken is up to mischief in Taiwan and supporting US military aid and presence on the island despite the official US “one China” policy. Surely it must occur to the Chinese government that if China helps Washington isolate Russia, China herself is isolated. In view of such reports as this–“US Encircling China With Military Bases to Cut Off Ocean Access in Conflict Scenario” ( https://sputnikglobe.com/20240427/us-encircling-china-with-military-bases-to-cut-off-ocean-access-in-conflict-scenario—reports-1118142625.html ) — Chinese “Russian expert” Professor Feng Yujun appears to be very foolish. It is difficult to imagine China’s development and Silk Road project without Russian energy.

But maybe not. Both the Russian and Chinese governments have delusional tendencies that if they refuse to respond with more than words to Washington’s provocations, everything will eventually be OK. As I see it, the policy of conflict avoidance simply increases the number and seriousness of the provocations.

As I emphasize, the most important step toward peace would be a Russian-Chinese-Iranian announcement of a mutual defense treaty. This would introduce a missing caution into US foreign policy and halt the provocations that are leading to nuclear war.

Wasn’t the way China treated Blinken’s arrival/departure enough?

Asians have patience that westerners will never comprehend.
Blinken, under orders, is digging America’s hole deeper and deeper.
Happy Commie Panda knows to allow his enemy to just keep digging.

The question answers itself. Distinct sovereign nations (the US, PRC, RF, etc.) exist largely on paper and in nostalgia.

The ruling class is transnational, coordinating across individual countries and regions. Most Americans alive today have never known a world where DC and Beijing aren’t tightly integrated. Geopolitics today is stagecraft, not statecraft.

This is the great taboo of our era, and one that PCR seems unwilling to accept/address.

Blinken’s on the same intellectual level as the gay Labradoodle press secretary, Dominican Barbie…and they’re both smarter than Brandon…we’ll be lucky if we make it to the election let alone four more years.

Maybe Blinken felt like getting anal swabbed in China, much like some State Department flunkies got the first time he was there during the lockdowns.

PCR is a either a CIA plant, or the stupidest person to have ever obtained a position in a Presidential Administration. Either is equally possible.
China has basically told the US to fuck off. The US is no longer the worlds dominant power. The close relationship between China and Russia, now make their alliance the most powerful military/industrial power on earth.
Chinese culture is extremely polite. The treatment they gave to Blinken signified that they they lack all respect for the Biden administration. What they are trying to tell the US is that they are a hop, skip, and a jump from cutting off diplomatic relations all together.
China does not need the US. But the US will collapse without China.

I especially loved it when the chinese made bathhouse barry get off the back of the plane. Or when they called castro jr little potato and the stoopid moron thought it was a compliment.

Who says the chinese don’t have a sense of humor.
