Global Times is saying the calls went well. I guess because they realized the US is really desperate and China has more leverage than they realized.
Important note on US wishful thinking on military talks
It has to be said that the Chinese military has nothing to talk about with the US counterpart as the US keeps sending warships within 12 nautical miles of Chinese islands and its fighter jets repeatedly provoke at China's coastlines.


Wait I thought in other news Biden was going to help Taiwan with the name change tomorrow?

So this is all physcoops or did China caved or got fooled again?
Maybe GT was suprised and released the article without considering the new development?

Eh, or Biden is pretending to make those moves so he can ease tensions. So, he doesn't look weak.

Or GT is trying to do a PR spin.

The Chinese media always make the talks between national leaders sound positive even if they are bad. The White House's contemplation of changing the name indicates that the talks went bad, and Biden is basically throwing a tantrum.

Exactly. I'm surprised there are still people that did not notice this. I started to notice this 'positive angle' of Chinese media several years back no matter the real facts on the ground.
Chinese diplomacy is based on leaving differences aside and focusing on cooperation and win-win.

Now if some countries dont share that view then thats ok, but Chinese State Media follow that principle which is why you see them focusing on cooperation and not on conflict.

All of the previous salami slicing over Taiwan probably have little to do with Biden. Antony Blinken was probably planning and authorizing them. This time it was done directly by Biden to spite Xi and China.
