I think this is as clear as it gets. Zhao had already said before, that the "cooperate, compete, confront" mantra of Washington towards Beijing wouldnt apply to China. He said that even on purely cooperative matters, China wouldn't do anything unless the US dropped its confrontational actions and behaviour. Even in Climate Change, there wont be much (if at all) cooperation

No more free lunch from China towards the US.

From CGTN as opposed to the sanitised version from SCMP.

The message is simple. Stop continuing with Trump's policy of containment. Pointing fingers at Covid origin, and messing with China's internal affairs. Basically stop being belligerent, and we can sit down and talk.

CGTN:

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday held a phone talk and exchanged views on the situation in Afghanistan and the China-U.S. relations.

Stressing the situation in Afghanistan has undergone fundamental changes, Wang said it is necessary for all parties to engage with the Taliban and guide them actively.
The U.S., in particular, needs to work with the international community to provide Afghanistan with urgently needed economic, livelihood and humanitarian assistance, help the new Afghan political structure maintain normal operation of government institutions, maintain social security and stability, curb currency depreciation and inflation, and embark on the journey of peaceful reconstruction at an early date, he said.

Wang said the facts show that the war in Afghanistan has not achieved the goal of removing terrorist forces in Afghanistan, and warned that the hasty withdrawal of the U.S. and NATO troops is likely to provide an opportunity for the resurgence of various types of terrorist organizations in the country.

On the premise of respecting Afghanistan's sovereignty and independence, he urged the U.S. to take concrete actions to help Afghanistan combat terrorism and violence, instead of practicing double standards or fighting terrorism selectively.
Blinken told Wang that the U.S. believes the United Nations Security Council should issue a clear and unified message to the world that the international community expects the Taliban to ensure the safe evacuation of foreign citizens, ensure that the Afghan people receive humanitarian assistance and ensure that the territory cannot become a source of terrorist attacks or a safe haven for terrorism.
Wang said the U.S. side is clear about the causes of the current chaos in Afghanistan. "If the United Nation Security Council is to take any action, it should help to ease rather than intensify conflicts, and help the situation in Afghanistan to transition smoothly rather than to return to turmoil."

Blinken expressed his understanding and respect for China's concerns on issues related to Afghanistan.
Wang on U.S. politicization of COVID-19
On China-U.S. relations, Wang noted that the two countries have recently conducted communication on issues such as the situation in Afghanistan and climate change.
Dialogue is better than confrontation, and cooperation is better than conflict, Wang said, adding that the Chinese side will consider how to engage with the U.S. based on its attitude towards China.
"If Washington also wants to bring the China-U.S. relationship back on track, then it should stop slandering China and undermining China's sovereignty, security and developing interests," the foreign minister told Blinken.
The U.S. side should take seriously the two lists China has put forward during the talks in Tianjin as well as the three basic demands as bottom lines that China firmly upholds, Wang added.
Wang also urged the U.S. to stop politicizing COVID-19 origins tracing, which he described as a "political burden" left over by the former U.S. administration. The sooner the U.S. drops that burden, the faster it will get out of the current dilemma, he added.

Blinken said the U.S. does not intend to blame any county on origins tracing, but pointed out that both countries have a responsibility to provide necessary information. He added that Washington would like to keep in contact with China on the issue.


Don't know if posted here.

sickening children killing bastards, if the same happened to the USA, you can bet that they don’t deserve any sympathy

So this is "democracy and freedom", and Human rights looks like. Meanwhile the boss of Human rights have this to say: .

Ken Roth, boss of Human Rights Watch, just tweeted the grim news that the Taliban are calling for genders (luckily they only have two in Afghanistan) to be taught separately

I dont think it was naive. Don't forget that this "win-win bs" bought China a lot of time to develop its economy and military.

Now that it has gotten so strong, naturally the West has found out that it has been fooled. Give them time, they are still at the stage of anger.

But yes, I also agree that this is a winner take all thing, for the US. Because if the US is brought down then that means thats its whole economic system which has been built on dollar's dominance will be brought down and that will bring a disaster to it

This sounds to me like ethnic indian workers in singapore trying to get their cousins' cousins' cousins to take all the middle management positions, and they'll do it without shame of accusations of nepotism.
Are the Indians going to flood Singapore with more Indians? These Indians workers got the majority of covid-19 cases in Singapore.

Al Jazeera is reporting on it now. 6 civs known to be killed by US drone strike AKA "OVER-THE-HORIZON" operation. 4 children amongst the dead.

Sec. Blinken states that the US shall retain capacity to conduct further "OVER-THE-HORIZON" operations in Afghanistan.


Only because Pakistan allows it.

Maybe that's the cost Pakistan is ready to pay to not get put into FATF black list or Sanctioned.

Amazing pictures!

I wanna show these pictures side-by-side to my contacts but I can not prove that the kneeling picture is about the South Korea as there is nothing to identify the set up in the South Korea... that pic can be said to be anywhere in Asia.

Luckily the era of masking is rather helpful in hiding the ID of the kneeling umbrella boy :p so feudalistic that I imagine it's the era of the great dynastic period!

And now imagine if the western MSM can spot a pic like this of a kneeling umbrella boy servicing the "lifelong Emperor Xi", he will be right immediately promoted to be the new China's 21st-century Qin Shihuang 秦始皇.... hahaha



Any one can help, perhaps the source or else :)

Chinese official forces a subordinate to hold an umbrella for him on his knees.

Who am I kidding. It is South Korean. You honestly thought that this wouldn’t make mainstream news if a Chinese official did it?
