US Secretary of State refuses to heed China's statement on "red lines" on arms sales to Taiwan

The US will not take into account China's claims that the sale weapons Taiwan will become a "red line" in Sino-US relations. This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

Earlier, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang warned the United States that interference in the country's internal affairs, including the future of the island of Taiwan, is the first "red line" in relations between the two states. These relations could fall to a new low, Beijing said.



The Chinese Foreign Minister made his statement amid yet another aggravation of Sino-US relations. Blinken, in turn, touched upon the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Moscow.

According to the US Secretary of State, China currently does not provide significant military assistance to Russia. However, Blinken noted the strengthening of Beijing's diplomatic support for Moscow, as evidenced, in his opinion, by the visit of the Chinese leader to the Russian capital.

At the same time, Blinken noted that China's diplomatic and material support for Russia is at odds with US aspirations. Earlier in the US and Western Europe, concerns were expressed about the possible start of supplies of ammunition from China to Russia.

But with its daring policy towards Taiwan, the US authorities only bring the likelihood of such a development closer. The more attention the United States pays to Taiwan by supplying it with weapons, the more grounds China will have for rapprochement with Russia in military-technical and military-political relations, and many American analysts have previously warned the White House about this.

      Someone will explain to blinkin that Taiwan is an island off the coast of China, not the United States. The United States could not cope with Cuba for how many years, and then they decided to defend Taiwan. So I see blinkin shooting back in Taiwan from Chinese landing. And Joe and Camila bring the cartridges.

      Yes, and Beijing, judging by the latest events, does not care about Washington. They understand that neither the Americans nor Europe will do anything to them. Production has been postponed for half a century, and now even masks are in a pandemic! unable to produce.

      Therefore, you can spit on all the warnings and decisions of some courts there and go to Moscow for a meeting, for a couple of days with a huge delegation and big contracts. Absolutely demonstrative. Also ostentatiously not picking up the phone when the President of the States calls.

      And this hysteria of Blinkin is also indicative. It was not possible to intimidate by declassifying data on the coronovirus, it did not work to get a call from Zelensky, the Middle East is slipping out of hand. What remains but to continue to promise to continue to spoil? By the way, have they already delivered everything they promised, or have they postponed it again to 26?

      So mattresses have an aggravation against the background of political schizophrenia, and as you know, in this state, schizophrenics are generally afraid of little, until they are pulled in a straitjacket. Here are two doctors from the Russian Federation and China will now do this.

    The more attention the United States will show to Taiwan, supplying it with weapons, the more grounds China will have for rapprochement with Russia in military-technical and military-political relations.

    It is clear that any ally is better than none, but it is sad to read that the attitude of the PRC towards us depends not on the commonality of ideas, goals and objectives, but on whether they quarrel with the United States.
    And in the end, as always, we are left with our two eternal allies. More precisely, with three - there is also a VKS now.

      I'm sorry, but no matter how many red lines are drawn and no matter how many the United States crosses them, Beijing will not push for the right decisions and they will not help if it is not profitable. They will wait on the river bank until the US corpse floats by.

        We here, "on our sofas", will also wait until the corpse of the United States appears from behind the bend of the river.
        It will be funny to look at how many "allies" will instantly begin to swear "eternal love" to us. The same Europe will crush each other's sides, if only to be the first in line.
        Passed many times already.

        The only pity is that we will believe again, forgive again, again "we will not remember the bad."

            That's exactly what I meant. And all in the name of big politics. As under the Union, they were silent about who exactly burned Khatyn. I knew about it, but on TV the national composition of the 118th battalion of the Schutzmannschaft was announced yesterday for the first time.

            And more about "believe and forgive."
            At school, I once got into a fight with a high school student. 20 or 25 years passed after school - it happened to us by chance to live in the same twelve-story building. They practically became friends. They remembered that fight - they laughed ...
            But this is a school fight, albeit a decent one on both sides. But you won’t laugh at the 27 million killed by the Germans. And I personally, despite the fact that the "liver sausage" "does not feel historical guilt", did not forgive the Germans. And my son does not forgive. And the grandson will not forgive.

    Yes, you are not afraid of China, they know that they are dependent on the West, like the Russian Federation. The Chinese will never shit in their pocket and smear, those are still cunning. Where should they put the goods for at least the next 5-7 years, will it digest Russia? Much ado about nothing.

      If China has nowhere to supply goods, then the West will have nowhere to take them from ... They transferred production to China for half a century, they simply cannot stop buying goods just like that.

      Just as they cannot stop buying resources from Russia, and what they replace, for example, gas, they buy not for $200, but for $700...

      So this is interdependence and it is still unclear who will win, no matter how the West has to carry goods through Turkey by parallel imports.

      So nothing threatens Chinese trade.

      They will just have where to put the goods. They have a half billion population. The domestic market will begin to develop. But where the bankrupt "golden billion" will take the goods from is a moot point.

      Just this problem is now being solved. Why did we together begin to squeeze Africa from the West? now it is 1,5 billion inhabitants, potential consumers, they just need to "grow" them. And for this, in turn, investments are directed there. Believe me, in 10 years Africa will become the most developing region of the world, and therefore the most consumed. Something like this!

      probably the United States thinks that the Russian Federation does not have nuclear weapons, or simply no one will press it, I don’t even xs why they think so! I myself am surprised that they are going to a nuclear conflict, moreover, they are stubbornly going to the Russian Federation and China! like Stalin did not use chemical weapons when the Germans were standing near the Moscow time
