Biden calls Xi as US-China relationship grows more fraught
“Chinese-U.S. confrontation will bring disaster to both countries and the world,” Xi added.
This is what's wrong with Beijing's way of thinking. The message should be the US is going to be the one that suffers. Americans could care less if Chinese suffer. If China is such a problem for the US, then cutting off all relations with China shouldn't be a problem. But it is a disaster for the US waiting to happen in many fronts hence why they haven't done it. There's no united front against China which why the US is having trouble getting it's own allies on the same page. So who's the one that benefits more from preserving ties. Human rights is an excuse to pressure China to change and reform where the West has control. There's no human rights concern in what they care about the most. They'll be making no money from China. They'll have no influence. That's their nightmare scenario.
