Blinken s Visit and Biden s True Colors: Imperialist Arrogance Toward China

The United States has made provocation after provocation toward China and this week, the day after Secretary of State Antony Blinkens trip to China to reduce tension, U. S. President Biden denigrated Chinese President Xi Jinping, calling him a dictator and alleging that he didnt know what was going on in his own country. Blinkens trip was supposed to be months ago, but was rescheduled because of another provocation when the United States shot down a Chinese balloon.
