Before the talks officially began, Wang said: “China-US relations are of vital importance to the world. In the past few years, the relationship between the two countries has been full of twists and turns.”
I hope that our communication this time will be strategic and substantive as always, and to be constructive at the same time, to … truly achieve stable, healthy and sustainable development.
Among the reported topics discussed at this meeting so far, the issue of Taiwan came up again, as to be expected. Wang encouraged the U.S. to stop arming Taiwan and respect the “one-China principle.”
“Taiwan belongs to China, which must be reunified. ‘Taiwan independence’ is the biggest risk to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. The United States should implement its commitment not to support ‘Taiwan independence’,” he said. “The key for China and the United States to avoid conflict and confrontation is to abide by the three joint communiques.”
The U.S. has been sending mixed messaging in regard to its support for Taiwan. Biden touted the idea of sending troops on the ground if China invades Taiwan, and earlier this year new funding was signed into law for military defense of Taiwan and the Asian Pacific; but Secretary of State Anthony Blinken did a full 180-degree turn and said, “We do not support Taiwan independence, we remain opposed to any unilateral changes to the status quo by either side,” which was immediately picked-up by Chinese state media during a meeting with Xi Jinping. Biden would also later go on to say that the U.S. does not support Taiwanese independence.
Wang also condemned the U.S. for meddling with the Philippines. Earlier this month, the U.S. announced $500 million in military aid to counter China, deploying new weapons systems and missiles to the country.
Wang told Sullivan and U.S. diplomats, “The United States must not use bilateral treaties as an excuse to undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, nor should it support or condone the Philippines’s actions of infringement.”
Wang continued by saying, “China firmly safeguards its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests over the South China Sea islands, and upholds the seriousness and effectiveness of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea,” he said, referring to a maritime code of conduct.
The United States must not … support or condone the Philippines’ infringements.
He added
On top of this, Wang also condemned U.S. sanctions and tariffs on Chinese-produced goods, and clapped back at alleged claims of so-called “overcapacity” – a loosely defined term Treasurer Janet Yellen first coined when she visited China earlier this year. South China Morning Post reported:
Wang also called on the US to “respect the legitimate development rights of the Chinese people” and “stop suppressing China” in the economy and technology.
The US has imposed various measures, from semiconductor bans to duties on Chinese electric vehicles, to curb China’s military development and rein in what it sees as manufacturing “overcapacity” that threatens US national interests.
But Wang said that one country’s security could not be based on the insecurity of others.
“National security requires clear boundaries, especially in the economic field, which must be scientifically defined … Using ‘overcapacity’ as an excuse to engage in protectionism will only harm global green development and affect world economic growth,” Wang said.
“The United States should not use its own path to speculate on China, nor should it use the template that a strong country will seek hegemony to mirror China.”
The White House said Sullivan told Wang that “the United States will continue to take necessary actions to prevent advanced US technologies from being used to undermine our national security, without unduly limiting trade or investment”.
The US has also sanctioned Chinese entities over alleged transfer of dual-use goods to Russia to “bolster” Moscow’s defence industry – and its military action in Ukraine, a concern raised by Sullivan in the meeting.
Wang said China remained committed to promoting peace talks in the conflict and urged the US not to “impose illegal unilateral sanctions indiscriminately”.
Wang and Sullivan also agreed to continue cooperation on law-enforcement and combating narcotics and climate change, as well as hold a new round of China-US intergovernmental dialogue on artificial intelligence.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
In March, 2021, The WP cited a report by the Trends Journal that highlighted just how bad relations had become:
It’s over. But you would never know it from the mainstream media. Last week in Anchorage, AK, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his team met with their Chinese counterparts.
After Blinken’s opening remarks warning the Chinese to follow “rules-based international order,” and the follow-up by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan who told the delegation the U.S. would not tolerate Chinese “economic and military coercion to assaults on basic values,” the Chinese delegation, in Mandarin, told them to both to go “F” themselves.
The U.S. is continuing to foment more war (what else is new?), and China is not having it. Fairly recently, China slapped restrictions on the supply of antimony, a key mineral used in ammunition, nuclear weapons, acid-batteries and other heavy industrial items. Payback: China Restricts Export Of Key Industrial And Military Mineral Antimony. Also Effects Tungsten And Other Necessary Minerals
Of course, that probably explains Sullivan’s visit… It’s okay when the U.S. does it, but when someone else does it then it’s a big no-no.
The simple fact is that more war is on the horizon. I don’t believe this will happen tomorrow but it will occur within the next few years to come, I reckon. The slow and continued propagandization of Taiwan, and the arming of Taiwan and the Philippines, and Japan’s growing involvement in NATO are proof of that.

Mark 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

To the Satanic cabal, human lives do not matter as long as they get their precious price i.e., your soul and adenocrome. Philippines and Taiwan are expendable. Taiwanese are Chinese cannon foddlers like Filipinos and Ukranians. Just see Victoria Nudelman’s website https://understandingwar.org/
