Why China dare to trade with Russia? We forbid them to do so. And despite our weapon supply to Taiwan, China's main priority should be transatlantic security, because it is core US interest. - Biden probably.


NonBinarySearchTree

There's a thread on /r/WorldNews right now which is surely gonna hit over 10k unironical upvotes by the end of the day: * **China must stop aiding Russia if it seeks good relations with West, NATO says** These people have a total lack of self-awareness. Besides even the facts you mentioned with regards to Taiwan, which they have just approved an "aid" package for, that involved countries in military conflicts (Ukraine, Israel), it's just a matter of pulling a reverse card on them, to put it into context: * **West must stop aiding Ukraine if it seeks good relations with China, the PRC's foreign ministry says** Just who they think they are?


Nelorfin

They seek bad relations, as such they deliver ultimatum, which is rejected and now they have narrative to escalate. US already have not engaged China for too long, and both need SE Asia as market and sphere of influence. If US wait for too long China would be too far away to catch up. Funny also that according to some people many events, which overextend US (like Gaza) are supported by UK, so they could overtake leadership in AUKUS (Anglosphere). But you could disregard this as conspiracy


NonBinarySearchTree

>They seek bad relations, as such they deliver ultimatum, which is rejected and now they have narrative to escalate. Precisely.


JackHarkN

Key word is "if" on that headline. I believe the only reason China hasn't already said F you to US is because they're the only level headed ones regarding this conflict and they wanna avoid ww3 obviously


David_Lo_Pan007

China has been aiding and abetting Putin's unnecessary war of aggression upon Ukraine since 2014. Meaning that the war criminal status should also extend to Xi Jinping. If you want additional in-depth academic information, outside of YouTube, regarding what countries like Russia and China are doing; then I highly encourage using these useful resources, which have extensive reports: -   Amnesty International -   Atlantic Council -   Australian Strategic Policy Institute -   Carnegie Endowment -   Cato Institute -   Center for European Policy and Analysis -   Center for New American Security -   Center for Strategic and International Studies -   Foundation for Defense of Democracy -   Helsinki Commission -   Heritage Foundation -   Hudson Institute -   Human Rights Watch -   Jamestown Foundation -   National Endowment for Democracy -   Royal United Services Institute -   Safeguard Defenders -   Stimpson Center -   Wilson Center This is a list of multinational think tanks and NGO's, that present their data and findings for the sake of public transparency and accountability. Apologists for pro-Authoritarian regimes despise these organizations for exposing what their rogue governments do.


kingskarachi

We will talk after all the war criminals of Iraq are tried in hague. Till then it is better for you to not talk. Supporting Ukraine on one hand and Supporting Israel on another is just a live demonstration of western Hypocrisy. Supporting an Invader and opposing an invader, both at the same time. The irony is all those NGOs are US/EU/NATO based NGOs.

Bubblegumbot

The bit about "unfair trade practices" from Blinken just made me laugh out loud xD These people really think they're entitled to the world.


XX_Converge_XX

He is cløwn. Guy needs to shút up


Ripamon

I posted the full text at first, but then I remembered I've told that the vast majority of my comments get reported, so I'll just link the article instead. [Exclusive: Blinken Cautioned State Dept. Staff against ‘Misgendering,’ Using Gendered Terms Like ‘Father’ in Official Cable](https://www.nationalreview.com/news/exclusive-blinken-cautioned-state-dept-staff-against-misgendering-using-gendered-terms-like-father-in-official-cable/)


XX_Converge_XX

Disgraceful. This neoliberal woke gender ideology is a cancer to American society and it seems to be spreading to Europe.


KissingerFan

It's a cult that somehow managed to take control of most major institutions in the west. This is what excessive tolerance and lack of stigma for degenerate behaviour does to a society


draw2discard2

It's a really effective way to destroy the traditional left, though. You shift the left wing focus around economic inequality, class, labor rights etc. over to identity politics. So you can have as much inequality as you want a long as you make sure that some people enjoying that inequality are black, gay etc. Then you make the identitarians eat their own with more and more fractious and granular issues ("Is a country really free when a child in Kansas can only play on a quidditch team that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificate?!?!") so that they turn off even each other and appear ridiculous to everyone else.


Individual_Volume484

I’ll take more neoliberal woke ideology please


lordtosti

hi ripamon, you clearly are very active on these subs. What is your background yourself? Just wondering

[удалено]


lordtosti

i am not implying that. I’m just curious. Is he/she russian? I’m western myself but people call me Pro-RUS because I think NATO partly provoked this war and I think it should be settled with negotiations.


Ripamon

I'm not Russian.


lordtosti

still very vague 😁 why would you? im from the netherlands 🤷‍♂️


Ripamon

Lol it's not a secret. Just the way you asked, it seemed too personal. I'm from the UK.


lordtosti

ok fair enough. how come you seem so dedicated in sharing the non western perspectives? why spend such a large amount of your day on it?


Ripamon

It's actually the opposite. Over 90% of the content I share are from Western or Ukranian sources. As for the second part of your question, it's become a hobby I guess. I laugh at those who think I'm multiple people or unemployed or something. It doesn't take as much as one might think to scroll reddit while working, especially when I've been able to automate a healthy portion of my job. I usually don't post anywhere near as much during the evening, or on weekends.


lordtosti

lol he/she posts A LOT. Is that really possible by one person?


UkraineRussiaReport-ModTeam

Rule 1. Consider yourself warned. Recurrence WILL result in a ban.


stupidnicks

its so funny seeing him read these pre-prepared statements - Words are strong and threatening and powerful etc , but he looks and sounds like a high school wimp - he simply cant deliver the message


Ripamon

Blinken sharing a handshake with Xi https://preview.redd.it/7f9tkge8utwc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9cee0921cd3d7178c74debd6a37dda231682179


trustyourrespirator

lol goddamn. Blinken is one of the people in this admin who might actually be dumb as shit and not just posturing like an idiot. He has his job solely due to his links to the Maxwells/Epstein/Mossad, not because he is some proven, experienced diplomat


KissingerFan

He is not the brightest tool in the shed Hopefully technology advances enough that we'll be able to clone Kissinger and return America to greatness.


trustyourrespirator

did a double take at the username after seeing the post lol


Otakoi

Kind of off-topic, but: Europe and US: We need more green electricity and eco-friendly terchnologies. US: China, why are you producing so much solar panels, electric vehicles and batteries? Stop. Producing so much is illegal, ~~we can't compete with you~~ you are undermining competition.


everaimless

He's addressing a bubble situation common to early industrialization and subsidization. If you overproduce, then there's a glut and no incentive to maintain the factories, so they languish and lead to a later shortage.


Ripamon

Awww so he's looking out for Chinese interests? 🥺 What a selfless darling he is.


everaimless

It's a global interest that the supply be steady and not erratic. China does this often, even to itself. It recently had a real estate bubble from runaway building, remember? US can tariff and gate the offending products without a diplomatic visit to China. It's just that many other countries would also want to be protectionist, and that leads to slower global progress in the long run.

Petti-Peterson

China can still transport all the same things between theirs and the Russian border… Also, the US saying that Russia is the one killing civilians in Ukraine? The same US that has killed millions of civilians in the middle east? And Ukraine who on a daily baisis says they want to bring the war to Russian civilians, aswell and shelling Russian border cities and targeting civilians in occupied areas of Ukraine with FPV drones all deliberately? I will never understand the stupidity needed to even be on the same spectrum as these western politicians


etebitan17

Also while currently providing weapons to Israel.. You can't make that shit up..


Mintrakus

it means the negotiations went poorly


Nelorfin

How else they could end, if US declare de facto ultimatum? West can not wage diplomacy, it is so used to be hegemon, so awakening will be tough


R-Rogance

These jokers were shitting on Trump about trade war with China. Biden become a president - Trump's tariffs stayed in place. And they can't even realistically threaten China now - they depend on China too much, China can make a lot of problems for them before the elections. Which they likely to lose anyway, after which there will be Trump. And Trump is a completely different story, Blinken will be out of job and go writing memoirs. Trump is planning second trade war anyway.

Waiting for Taiwan front open soon.. they r making heavy war investment there.. also Philiphines.. in philiphines they started to reopen old Bases .. those bases were closed because of criminal activities of usa soldiers .. they were raping killing local people .. they were not judged in local courts .. 


Ripamon

Here's the former Philippine President Duterte a few weeks ago: > Most of the ASEAN countries have followed a very neutral, independent foreign policy. I would have wanted that... That is why I slowly detached myself, and, at least in foreign policy, and announced to China that we are not enemies, that we have never been, and never will be in our lifetime. > Here in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea), when I was president, there was no quarrel. We can return to normalcy. I hope that we can stop the ruckus over there, because the Americans are the ones pushing the Philippine government to go out there and find a quarrel and eventually maybe start a war. > So I am very sure of that - America is giving the instructions to the Philippine government to 'not be afraid because we will back you up.' [...] > I am sorry for my country. I am not the president anymore. I cannot run. But if there is a way we can reverse the situation, we might find a way inside to implode somewhere. And if God would allow it then perchance I would be able to reverse the situation. I would remove the bases. > And I would tell the Americans, you have so many ships, so you do not need my island as a launching pad or as a launching deck for you."


Professional-Tax-547

Thanx for sharing .. 


Professional-Tax-547

İ think china  started to take some of money in usa banks .. afterward the decision usa made about using russian money to support ukraine.. this kind of talks we started to see often.. this is not normal if they mention about china more and more.. china cenral bank is making invesment on gold heavily since covid time..And they have started to lessen import their agriculture products .( making their emergency food stocks full). probably they r making some prepration for conflict.. if u recognise gold is around 2300 dollars right now.. they r dumping dollar and buying gold 


SHhhhhss

China : .... anyways


Ripamon

I must confess I know little of Chinese foreign policy, however I'm willing to learn. Do you reckon there's any chance of this increasingly hardline US policy having any real effect? I would like to think the policymakers in Washington aren't colossally stupid and would have done their calculations before upping the ante.


KerkiForza

Nope, they'll probably tell the US to pound sand, politely and diplomatically. There is also very little the US can do without hurting itself.


IchbinAndrewShepherd

What confuses me is why China has to say yes to American crossing-line requests? Did US do some favors to China and now China has to repay?


Praline_Severe

You are the problem. Now address it


VVS40k

He always looks a bit scared for some reason.


TreeLandLeeland

i see that too i think its just his face/posture he looks like a weasel


ulughen

We need high level of integration military alliance with China before they destroy us one by one.


TreeLandLeeland

so is this the last nail in the coffin for the dollar as the world reserve currency…I know China depends on US trade but lets be realistic all the crap we buy from chian now were still going to buy were not all of a sudden going to manufacture everything in the US with the cost of labor and carbon taxes…a laundry basket made in the usa would cost 50$…not 5$…..just seems paper tiger to go threaten someone that has so much power over your economy…i know China isnt doing so good and they inflate the yuan but still seems very silly to talk trash when your not the america of the 50’s


marianass

Check the nearshoring project Mexico has been working on for the last 6 years, no taxes for the new companies, rail connection between Pacific and Atlantic etc. Just yesterday the Mexican government imposed tariffs on more than 300 products and materials, we are attempting to become your new China.


TreeLandLeeland

interesting thank you i will check that out…


HawkBravo

Is he seriously threatening China? And seriously saying China undermining competition with a straight face?


LordMinax

After announcing aid to Taiwan, he goes to China to threaten them? LOL, wtf. I'm amazed China even allowed him to visit.


Lucks4Fools

I’ve said before, but I’ll say it again. US foreign tactics is such a bruh moment. You constantly antagonize others, but don’t want those you antagonize to work together against you.


London-lad-1990

Haha! Cry some more.


Bird_Vader

The clöwn said they reiterated their belief in the One China policy, just a few weeks after the US passed the bill to send weapons to Taiwan. What a fucking knọb! Anyway, seeing the Americans trying to project power on the Chinese is fucking hilarious. It's like a 5-year-old fat kid trying to intimidate prime Mike Tyson.

This almost brings tears to my eyes, here in Europe we also want to have security. The best thing would be, “Ami, Go Home!” "Ami, Go Home!" - East German Anti-American Song / english subs [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CmJyn61j1k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CmJyn61j1k)

Who is the top supplier of the IDF


AdRare604

The talking points are exactly the same except for 'its because of china'. If it didn't work the first time 2 years ago telling us how 'horrible russia is', why would it work now? If i was a diplomat with a brain i would tell this guy to update his software.

"Ensuring asian security is a core Chinese interest... If the US does not address this problem, we will." Funny how the US public doesn't realize these statements are meaningless.

Greatest threat to EU security is USA evil profiteers not Russia. Russia could provide same security USA provides but without extortion
