Yang touted the power that the Communist Party of China has in their country and highlighted what he claimed were Chinese achievements before immediately going on the attack against the U.S. Yang’s initial attacks on the U.S. included:
Yang openly mocked Blinken’s comments about “‘rules-based’ international order.” Yang said, “What China and the international community follow or uphold is the United Nations-centered international system and the international order underpinned by international law, not what is advocated by a small number of countries of the so-called ‘rules-based’ international order.”
Yang openly mocked the “United States-style democracy,” saying that the “Chinese-style democracy,” which does not truly exist, had contributed to “peace and development of the world” while he accused the U.S. of “invading” other nations “through use of force” and toppling “regimes through various means” and massacring “people of other countries.”
Yang exploited political divisions in the U.S., saying “many people within the United States actually have little confidence in the democracy of the United States, and they have various views regarding the Government of the United States.”
Yang also cited the Black Lives Matter movement to attack the U.S. on the issue of human rights, saying that there were “many problems within the United States regarding human rights.”
“On cyber attacks, let me say that whether it’s the ability to launch cyber attacks or the technologies that could be deployed, the United States is the champion in this regard,” Yang said. “You can’t blame this problem on somebody else.”
Yang openly mocked the U.S. and the Biden administration, saying that it did not “represent international public opinion” and neither does the Western world. “Whether judged by population scale or the trend of the world, the Western world does not represent the global public opinion,” Yang said. “So we hope that when talking about universal values or international public opinion on the part of the United States, we hope the U.S. side will think about whether it feels reassured in saying those things, because the U.S. does not represent the world. It only represents the Government of the United States.”
Wang spoke after Yang, saying that China “will not accept the unwarranted accusations from the U.S. side” and expressed anger at the Biden administration’s recent sanctions regarding Hong Kong. Wang said that the way the Biden administration approached the meeting “only reflects the vulnerability and weakness inside the United States.”
SoS Blinken is getting his punch eaten. Im not sure if Biden is strong enough to push China around.
