Buckle in because this is going to be a long one but the situation between the US and China is fairly complicated and every bit as hostile. As the world prepares to hear how talks between Joe Biden Xi Jinping are going to go, we sit in painful discomfort with the lack of strength his administration has shown to the communist government.
One very real concern is Biden’s plans to lift Trump’s tariffs over the communist country. Tariffs were placed against China after decades of the country abusing the US through predatory practices.
Fomer White House trade adviser Peter Navarro says that’s not all we should be concerned with. He wanred viewers on Fox News Primetime that at least 20 people from within the Biden adminstration have been comprimised by China. He send a warning to Biden not to lift tarrifs against the communit country:
“Over 90% of Americans now understand that communist China is an existential threat to this country. What’s going to happen tomorrow in Alaska? I can tell you that the architecture of the Trump negotiations was what I have talked about many times as the ‘seven deadly sins’ of China. It’s intellectual property theft, forced technology transfer, currency manipulation. We have to add several more sins at this point.
The Chinese Communist Party infected this nation with a deadly virus and spread a pandemic around the world. Will [Secretary of State] Tony Blinken confront the Chinese about that? Ask them to let us into those labs? Let’s figure out how that [pandemic] started and charge them a bill … Will they hold China accountable for the concentration camps that have 2 million Uyghurs behind bars, making products that wind up in our Walmarts, or sacrificing their organs that get shipped off to Europe to rich people? Will Blinken talk about that? Will Blinken lay a red line down in the sand and say ‘No, you are not taking Taiwan on our watch’? I don’t think any of that is going to happen … The sickest I’ve been over the last year, and it wasn’t with the China virus, the sickest I have been is when I heard Joe Biden laugh and smile and say it’s OK to put Uyghurs in concentration camps because China has different cultural norms.
I wear a badge of honor on my sleeve that I have been sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party. If Biden bends to the pressure, and by the way, The Wall Street Journal is just as eager as the Communist Chinese Party is to dismantle Trump’s tariffs. So it’s time to stand strong. Time to stand strong [against] the Chinese Communist Party. America wants that. Hear me, Joe Biden, on that.”
What Else?
We are off to a terrible start with the talks with China already. Biden’s Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, made an absolute fool of himself. Blinken positioned the US to come off as tough, but the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi making wildly crititcal and innacurate assumptions about the US. One of which was telling Blinken that “The United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength,” Yang said through a translator at the summit in Anchorage.
Blinken was not acting alone, this was Biden’s strategy:
“A big part of the strategy is approaching our relationship with China from a place of strength,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday.
Rude things get said when talks open between two apposing nations but here is the thing, China entered these talks knowing Biden plans to drop Trump’s tarrifs. The plan to come off as ‘strong’ was dismantled to the starts. Blinken further weakened that show of force by basically responding with ‘nuh, uh, says you’.
It was clear when entering the talks, Blinken planned to hit China with some zingers about their cyber sttacks, genecide, and China’s preitory practiced. He did not, however, plan for the Chinese diplomat to fire back, and that’s where the embarassment comes in.

Biden on Friday said he’s “proud” of Secretary of State Tony Blinken after the top diplomat sat through an anti-American tirade from Chinese officials at a summit in Alaska.
“I’m very proud of the secretary of state,” Biden told reporters on the White House lawn after the unexpected lashing Thursday from Communist diplomats who mocked Biden’s claim to be operating from a “position of strength” to Blinken’s face on US soil.
We are still waiting for Biden’s talks with the Chinese president but I can’t imagine it will go any better when our fearless leader gaffes and forgets where he is.
