China’s Xi Jinping Takes Rare Direct Aim at U.S. in Speech

And every single move he has been making in the past 2 years have been about making China resilient from western comprehensive attacks. In this NPC, China will be making changes to reorganize the State Council to be just an executive body that only executes but does not make policy, and decision making on many aspects will be moved to the party organs. His whole focus on strengthening party control is about reducing power struggles and enforcing unity so that when huge challenges continue to come from western sanctions and decoupling moves, Chinese state is cohesive and united enough to face them.

His moves to increase control over the tech sector, focusing state power towards improving self-reliance and hardware innovations is also preparing for more US restrictions.

But the big question is, will his moves be implemented fast enough to actually make China resilient. If US attacks keep accelerating then Chinese decoupling from western components and western markets will increase very fast. If China cannot cope with those attacks then its overall development pace could slow down.

Tsai visiting the US will arguably be more significant to Beijing than McCarthy visiting Taiwan. Remember that the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis was caused in part by then President Lee’s visit to the United States to speak at Cornell University. Will be interesting to see Beijing's response

Let the lame duck quack. China should wait until DPP is voted out of power in 2024.

Some pessimist think that a Cold War would be the best outcome at this juncture. Hopefully they are wrong.

Surely Scholz knows the US did it... I do wonder what is his long term plan to make Germany sovereign, or has he resigned Germany to be oppressed forever.

Also read this thread:

What was interesting about going over the various US responses to the Nordstream sabotage is that they never accused Russia of doing it — that was left to the media, acting as the propaganda arm of the government but without the diplomatic consequences.

Right now I turned on the television and Channel News Asia is broadcasting live a press conference by Chinese FM Qin Gang.
Not sure the audience.
But he is addressing a lot of regional security issues.

Edit : May be ending soon

GlobalTimes has a even better one lol.

Is the next step, in the minds of these politicians, to spread rumors that Chinese clothes have gene-level surveillance that will threaten national security?

Also Jean-level surveillance where MSS bots send you disheartening messages about your diet progress…

“Maybe less Popeye’s this month 肥仔?”

It's a cultural thing you know, everyone in the west knows about the story of the Trojan Horse.

It is rarely for the Chinese government to explicitly say that the US is engaged in a new cold war. I think things would deteriorate soon. After the Chinese economy stabilized, China could make some strong responses to the US aggression.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's foreign minister blamed the U.S. for rising tensions between Washington and Beijing and said if the U.S. does not change its path there will be "conflict and confrontation".


The U.S. has been engaging in suppression and containment of China rather than fair or rule-based competition, Foreign Minister Qin Gang told reporters at a news conference in Beijing on the sidelines of an annual parliament meeting.

"The United States' perception and views of China are seriously distorted," Qin said. "It regards China as its primary rival and the most consequential geopolitical challenge. This is like the first button in the shirt being put wrong."

The U.S. should play by the rules it talks about, Qin said.


"The United States talks a lot about following rules, but imagine two athletes competing in the Olympic race," he said. "If one side, instead of focusing on giving one's best, always tries to trip or even into the other. That is not fair competition, but malicious confrontation and a foul."

The U.S. says it is establishing guardrails for relations with China and is not seeking conflict, but what this means in practice is that China is not supposed to respond with words or actions when slandered or attacked, he said.

"That is just impossible," Qin said.

"If the United States does not hit the brake, and continues to speed down the wrong path, no amount of guardrails can prevent derailment, which will become conflict and confrontation and who will bear the catastrophic consequences?"
