You bet, East Timor is a traumatic experience for them and since Widodo happen to follow an Independent Foreign Policy, this move by the 5eyes is design to assuage the Australian and to warned the Indonesian.

Yup, the number is so low, the Western MSM just won't bother to believe it, let alone report it. As for the Wong imbecile, he just does not know better.
LMAO - he probably has to pass the regular airport customs like that fine lady Von Der Leyen.
Obviously a white dude - his face is full of claw marks as witness reported.

Beautiful white American tourists killed in Mexico. Guess who's getting more attention...?
They wish. After sabotaging Chinese competitor's expansion, Micron expects China to keep its market share in China intacted, let alone expanded? That is day dreaming. A good example is Ericsson and Nokia, non of them did the sabotaging against Huawei, not openly at least, Ericsson even went as far as to speak openly for Huawei in some way. And yet, Ericsson lost China's contracts. It has nothing to do with attitude, sincere or double-faced, or who is the cause, politician or CEOs, Chinese company's lose at western country's hand will be compansated by the lose of western companies' in China. Micron is the chicken, the rest are the monkys.
I think the article is not intended to insult China, but rather saying that Chinese ambassador is "insulting" SK by acting like Yuan Shikai whose role was equal to MacArthur in Japan as you pointed out below.

Why Blinken and Sullivan want to visit China so badly, what is the main agenda? what they really really want from China that have a good chance getting it ?
Passive isn't exactly a word I'd used to describe the PRC/CPC's actions on the world stage and in terms of geopolitical strategy over the last decade.
They (the Biden admin) want to close a chapter immediately after they throw their punches at China but before China's further actions, so they can present to the world something like "this admin has acted tough on China, punched around, and get no beaten back, now China agrees to settle without retaliation". They definitely can not afford a meeting after China beats back which will come but just not immediately nor specifically in a tit for tat manner. This is about their 4 years election circle.
China on the other hand has no such circle, so when and what to throw back at US is determined by maximising the greatest and long term gain. So China wouldn't hurry up a punch according to some meaningless meeting. Therefor China is not in a hurry to meet, nor holding back the meeting (for whatever purpose) indefinitely. Note, stop such meeting indifinitely is essentially cutting off the relationship, even the USSR and USA did not do so during the hight of cold war. China for the moment and in the open is not intended to make that kind of statement. Therefor, we are seeing both sides meet just for the sake of a meeting, nothing else.
