Mao used to call America a “paper tiger,” in appearance very powerful, but in reality nothing to be afraid of. That is the way China’s current president, Xi Jinping, views the Biden administration.
How do I know this? Just look at the way the Chinese “welcome” visiting Biden administration officials.
When Secretary of State Tony Blinken arrived in Shanghai last Wednesday, he climbed down from that big beautiful aircraft with “United States of America” emblazoned in huge letters across its sides to the bare tarmac, where minor Chinese officials were waiting to greet him. Not the foreign minister. And no red carpet. That is the Chinese version of a snub.
And Chinese commentators took notice. “Blinken arrives in China and is met WITHOUT RED CARPET. No band or anything,” said an X user with the name “Lord Bedo. “He’s welcomed like a somebody unimportant.” No kidding. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen received the same treatment a few months ago.
On Friday, Blinken met with President Xi in Beijing. His message? To express “serious concern” about China’s support for Russia’s war effort by selling them microchips, machine tools, and other dual-use equipment. “I told Xi, if China does not address this problem, we will,” Blinken told his American media pool.
While that may sound like tough language, what does it really mean? The U.S. will impose sanctions on China if they don’t stop those dual-use exports to Russia. Really?
Russia and China, like their ally, Iran, have become masters at avoiding U.S. sanctions. Following U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and gas over the invasion of Ukraine, Russia’s oil and gas exports have continued non-stop, and with increased prices, are earning them more than ever.
For the U.S. to impose meaningful sanctions they would have to ban the sale to China of microchips and sensitive technology. If Biden were to do that, bye-bye Apple, bye-bye iPhone and Tesla, which recently completed a Gigafactory in Shanghai where it intends to roll out one million cars per year. That would bring U.S. stock markets crashing down.
So do you think Biden is really prepared to do that? Neither do I. Hence my comment about the U.S. becoming a paper tiger in the eyes of China’s leaders.
Over the past year or so, the Pentagon has been changing its force posture in the Pacific, moving away from large U.S. bases that can be easily attacked to a larger number of smaller bases. U.S. Marines are now pre-positioned in northern Australia, and a new type of Marine Corps regiment is now on Okinawa, one that is “designed to fight from small islands and destroy ships at sea,” according to the New York Times.
For the first time, the U.S. has sold long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Japan, giving them the capability of hitting the Chinese mainland in times of war. We have also concluded new basing agreements with the Philippines and with Papua New Guinea, and sent Green Beret trainers to Taiwan. All of these moves are aimed at bottling up the Chinese navy inside the first chain of islands beyond the Asian mainland, and denying them access to the blue waters of the Pacific.
“We have actually grown our combat capability here in the Pacific over the last years,” the Times quoted Adm. Samuel J. Paparo Jr., the incoming commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, as saying. “But our trajectory is still not a trajectory that matches our adversary. Our adversaries are building more capability and they’re building more warships — per year — than we are.”
That is not going to change any time soon. The Chinese already have more warships – over 300 – than the U.S. Navy, and they are churning them out like popcorn. Perhaps instead of puffing out his chest and making Paper Tiger claims, Secretary of State Blinken would do better to speak more quietly and grow that stick.
“ For the first time, the U.S. has sold long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Japan”
Your military industrial complex continues to thrive after failing in just about every foreign war since WW2.
They, and our military didn’t fail, our political leadership did.
“ Tesla, which recently completed a Gigafactory in Shanghai where it intends to roll out one million cars per year”
You missed out the word, cheap, before cars.
Tesla will also have all their IP stolen too.
Apple phones used to be superior but not anymore.
Mac computers were superior, not anymore.
True.
It’s part of their business plan for any company that wants to set up shop there. They are required to share the knowledge with locals.
If only Blinken had a stick to grow.
It’s in his butt.
Look at Blinken’s diffident expression and Xi’s patronizing one. Even in a photo op, Blinken betrays his cowardly subservience.
Joe Biden with his different meetings with his different meetings with the Communist President of Red China, Xi Jinping, will always results in agreed to policies that will be very favorable to China and let him get away with his horrendous cruel oppression of the people of China as well as accepting Jinping international policies designed the lowering of the United States as a world power.
For Xi Jinping knows that Biden is very weak and feeble-minded and he even likes Socialism and will be very easily manipulated to be the useful idiot ,stooge , tool and” lap dog” of XI Jinping will able to use Biden to have do anything to wants him to do. In other words, Biden is his stooge and tool because he malleable, for old Joe very cognitively challenged since is an empty-headed mindless idiot.
For example, Joe Biden in a speech he declared Bogus “President” “Imagine had the tobacco industry been immune to prostitute being sued, come on.”
Joe Biden received many “gifts” . Bribes, in the form of money and other things from Red China’s President Xi Jinping and other higher up of the China’s Communist party for US polices favoring China is both despicable and unconscionable . Biden is a real scoundrel.
About such corrupt activities, the Bible reads ” The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice.”
Proverbs 17:23. [N. I. V.]
America has been reduced in its leadership status as well as being a formidable Super Power due to the CCP and the oligarchs that are championing the One World Order. Prime Minister Netanyahu was right when he said that a Palestinians state would become a launching pad for attacks on Israel, thats why they are chomping at the bit for a Palestinian state. UN Secretary Antonio Guterres said Netanyahu’s repeated refusal to accept a two-state solution is totally unacceptable. Many tell Israel to listen to the vast majority of the world who want peace and a two state solution. However, few Israelis or Palestinians endorse a two-state solution.
This just shows how a few leaders are controlling the masses. Every Israeli wants to know that he will NOT be attacked in the same way from the north or south or east.
Anti-semetism is not supported by millions and millions of people. Israel’s enemies weaponize the concept of “Semetism” to conceal their animosity against the Jewish people. God views the Jewish nation and the land of Israel as inextricably linked. He preserves both land and people and promises judgment on those who plunder either of them.
The China CCP has complete knowledge of Biden having purchased him. Other biggies too in DC have been purchased. That is partly, only partly, the reason Xi approaches in complete confidence. They have taken our measure. And, nearly half the nation believe Biden is doing a good job.
I think it is rather that half the nation. has been brainwashed to hate hate hate Trump by our media. A media controlled by those beholden to the CCP and other nefarious groups.
Bidens the type of Wimp on the Beach she could lose arm wrestle against the 95 Lbs. Weakling. 300 Lbs. Guy, You mean to tell me Biden lost a arm wrestle to you? Weakling Yes he did and look now he just lost a arm wrestle to a Sandpiper
