“The survey shows a significant decline since April in approval for Biden on his handling of the coronavirus. All told, 56% approve of the way he is handling it, down from 66% in April.

At the same time, 77% of Americans say they are worried about the state of the economy in their community, up sharply from 58% who said the same last summer.”

The US economy probably just not doing as well as the reported numbers claim it is.

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.

Then he should stop going to Biden crying about how his diplomatic tactics aren't working. Forcing a geriatric to make phone calls at one's behest is generally considered a form of elder abuse.

Ahead of the call, a senior administration official said the White House has been unsatisfied with early engagements with the Chinese.

The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said White House officials were hopeful that Xi hearing directly from Biden could prove beneficial.

Anglos here be thinking they can pull the same wool over Chinese eyes like what obama and trump did in yesteryear.

Nup, until anglo america presents concrete, verifiable results, China aint gonna be lifting a finger to help.
But y'know, maybe anglo america can ask its 'rules based order' allies to help pitch in and buy US bonds.

In all honestly, Blinkens performance as of now is just about as poor as that of Pompeos, which means that, well they will screw up endlessly and simply not know why

Pompeo knew he was just a troll and acted as such. Blinken unironically probably thinks he is a great statesman.

I feel like what has happened is the US has threaten China to do XYZ if the Chinese don't buy certain amount of US debt. But, the China has called out the US's bluff.
Biden : "Look,Xi, we are tighting the noose around China with our allies unless you give into at least some of our demands."
Xi: "What noose, you call that a noose, Mr.Biden".

Why am I getting Trade war 2 vibes?

Does Biden really wants to experience the Trade War 1 vibes that Trump also felt?

China would laugh all the way to bank if the US was idiotic enough to instigate another Trade War

i smell US desperation. "Beijing Biden" is clueless.

It's funny how the US and the West thinks China needs them more than they need China yet they don't just end all relations which they think will stop China but instead they going straight to talking about war. That's because they know ending relations with China isn't going to stop China. They've isolated China as much as they can already and China is still growing. They don't control the resources of the world and they can't order the world that has the resources that both the West and China need to stop doing business with China if they aren't going to give the money they'll lose not selling to China. So of course they're talking war because that's the only way they can truly be in control and change China to serve them... that's if they win. Notice how they don't look at themselves as power hungry self-serving warmongers as they would call anyone else doing that for the same reasons?

"They don't control the resources of the world "
And it is not for lack of trying through NED covert activities among many. Just not getting the result quickly enough.
Don't give them ideas. This are now desperate enough to blatantly revive colonization policies.

It’s just mafia extortion tactics. I expect that if the US does allow the name change, China will do a flyover of Taiwan to reassert its sovereignty.

That’s the point that American politicians and media idiots can’t seem to grasp. All their petty games are just farts in the wind without the hard power needed to underwrite those stunts.

They have been living off their inheritance for so long that they take it for granted that they still have undisputed hard power dominance even as they hollow out their might through greed and arrogance.

They can play all their silly media games, but China can and will take concrete measures that will completely erase all of their salami sliced gains and vastly advance China’s previous position into the bargain.

If Taiwan dares to shoot at the PLAAF fighters, its full armed reunification. If they don’t, PLAAF overflight will become a standard daily occurrence. And America simply lack the hard power to be able to stop armed reunification, and will almost certainly suffer crippling and humiliating losses if they tried.

You are assuming US politicians care gives a f*ck about Taiwan. Taiwan is just a gambling chip without material risk to US.

US is a dying empire run by psychopaths. It will certainly go down fighting even if it means self destruction.

Not just psychopaths but religious fundamentalist psychopaths. What does it matter if everyone dies when I can sit a the right hand of god after I obliterate the communists, the godless and the sub-humans? We better hope there are sane people in charge who will not start a nuclear war and can rein in the loonies.

Opening abusing elders in public. Eek

Oz: Sorry, the bully China is not buying our goods, so we don't have enough to buy you IOUs. Beside, some big bully is taking over our market.

Brits: Master we are flat bloke at the moment. We just have to raise our taxes to pay for our health care because for some strange reason, the £350 million per week we were expecting from Brexit never materlised. Besides we just all those lovely F35s and blow our budget building ourselves the world's "2nd largest" carrier force.

Mounties: sorry, we still haven't been paid for kidnapping Meng.

Please be fair. As much as I hate we lied, we stole fat Pomp. At least he's being an arse and he knows it. Whereas Blinken is being an arse but thinks he's not.

Pompeo knew he was just a troll and acted as such. Blinken unironically probably thinks he is a great statesman.

Spot on.

More than a gambling chip. Lol
