Observations like this regarding how Blinken was treated in China may seem trivial, petty even. I would point out that that view is from a Western cultural position.

From a Asian cultural perspective, FACE is everything, and wars have been fought for much less.

Ignorance of when one is being insulted serves to perpetrate the inferior, barbarian, uncultured stereotypes often held against the West....

One Belt, One Road is the culmination of Mao's 100 Year Plan, insidious in its scope, and every bit as much the CCP's version of their own Blob on the world stage.

The subversion of the South Pacific and South American nation states under One Belt, One Road has been a topic I've watched with some interest for several years.

Blinken is beyond incompetent. He is a pathetic shell of his pathetic shell boss.

Blinken has long been a player and failed upwards (chosen) just as Joe.

The CCP sorely needs to be reminded of what the real blue-eyed devils are actually capable of again. Unfortunately that's not going to come from the Biden regime.

Whom did DJT meet with this past week at Trump Tower in New York?
