Chinese Foreign Minister: Americans should not cross China's red lines

Americans should not cross China's red lines regarding its sovereignty. Beijing has always acted in relation to other states based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial partnership.

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, Wang Yi, spoke about this in Beijing during a conversation with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who is currently on a visit to the People's Republic of China.

China's demands are consistent. The United States should not interfere in China's internal affairs, suppress China's development, and cross red lines when it comes to China's sovereignty, security, and development interests

- said the diplomat.

He also emphasized that the Chairman of the People's Republic of China and the entire leadership of the republic consistently advocate the stable development of ties between China and America.

Wang Yi noted that in general, relations between the two states are now consistently positive, although there are also plenty of negative aspects. According to him, other countries of the world are closely monitoring their development. After all, many global processes depend on whether Beijing and Washington will solve world problems together or get involved in a conflict with each other, which will harm both the United States and China.

The working visit of US State Department head Antony Blinken to China began on April 24 with a visit to Shanghai. Today the American Secretary of State intends to leave China.

and the Chinese have red lines..... well, let's see how China will react to the way the amers don't give a damn about all these lines. which is what the amers do with enviable consistency.

As far as I understand, the Chinese swallowed your statement about the genocide of the Uyghurs......

[Myths]

They will again sit on the river bank and wait.

[Argon]

Americans don't cross red lines, they routinely urinate on and through those lines. The Chinese do not yet understand that they will definitely cross any lines if they exist. This is the excitement of a predator! They consider themselves the center of the earth and no one is their rival, and they will prove this at any opportunity and everywhere! So it’s better not to draw lines!

And what did the “greatest” US sinologist Blinkin answer to this - did he swallow?

[Nexcom]

Negotiations between US State Department head Antony Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing began with mutual reproaches and warnings about dangerous miscalculations. This was reported by the Associated Press (AP).

Thus, the head of Chinese diplomacy noted that, in general, relations between the two countries are stabilizing, but some negative factors are intensifying. China's legitimate development rights have been unjustifiably suppressed, and our core interests have been challenged.

The PRC is not happy with the US plans to expand infrastructure in the South China Sea. Wang Yi also said that Beijing has the right to build relations with any countries, indirectly, as the agency writes, meaning Russia.

At the same time, the head of the US Treasury Department, Janet Yellen, said that Washington authorities were ready to impose sanctions against Chinese banks that allegedly facilitate trade supplies to Russia.

Dmitriy This is great, the United States is doing everything to prevent China from becoming friends with them.

[Nexcom]

Yes, Andrey . We still lacked if China really became friends with the Americans.......
So let the amers do everything to anger China and push it into closer interaction with us.

[Huarabey]

And China has no need to be friends with the Amers. They understand how this friendship will end - an attempt by Amer to subjugate China. And the Chinese themselves want to be one of the world leaders. They develop very quickly and there is no reason for them to lie under the Yankees at all.

I doubt. America doesn't know how to make friends. Friendship in their understanding is unconditional submission, and everything should be in the interests of the United States.
China will not agree to this. He was too imbued with a sense of his own importance.

[Galleon]

It seems to me that the Chinese expressed it somewhat differently, without mentioning lines and felt-tip pens. The expression about red lines is completely discredited by the leadership of the Russian Federation. In the West, it now means an empty statement that should not be taken into account, something that can be ignored without consequences.
The Chinese would not repeat this cowardly mantra.))

[Ivan Ivanov]

In truth, China's actions now are not much different from our actions. We perhaps look bolder - at least we are fighting somehow, the PRC is only wagging its tail and fighting back with ambiguous rhetoric. At best, he is stalling for time, at worst, he is afraid and is not ready for conflict.

[Argon]

Unlike the whales, we have no leverage over the Pinds.

China is very afraid of conflict. And he will delay it as much as possible. He will become dangerous only when he is pinned down and there is no further retreat. Like Russia - toothless until 2022, it began full-scale military action, greatly frightening the West.
The same thing will happen to China - if the States leave it no choice. What is most sad is that diplomacy in the States has degenerated, and they cannot take anyone’s interests into account, and China may easily be left with no choice.

[Ivan Ivanov]

This is a self-twisting spiral, China follows it. The more afraid he is, the more we weaken, the higher the chances for his fears to become reality. I sinfully thought that this was not obvious only to our Gorbachevites with their endless Minsks. It turns out the south suffers from this too

[Arisaka]

No, they are our relatives:

China-US relationship is more stable but still at risk if 'red lines' are crossed, Wang tells Blinken in Beijing. China has warned visiting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the United States must not cross any red lines on sovereignty, security or development or risk a downward spiral in relations

[Mishka78]

Still, the Chinese noted this topic much earlier. True, there is no joy from this...

“The last Chinese warning” is an idiom in Russian that means threats about which it is known that no action will follow in the near future.

The expression arose in connection with the worsening of US-Chinese relations in the 1950s and 1960s regarding the so-called Taiwan issue. The first warning was issued by China on September 7, 1958 (during this period the second Taiwan crisis occurred). The United States, not recognizing communist power in China (but recognizing the regime of Chiang Kai-shek), carried out reconnaissance flights over Chinese territorial waters. The People's Republic of China recorded all violations of its air and water space by the United States. For each such violation, the Chinese government sent a so-called “warning” to the American side through diplomatic channels, but did not take any action. For example, in April 1962, an American warship patrolled the Yellow Sea for a week, during which time China issued three serious warnings about intrusions into its territorial waters. All these warnings were numbered. Since in those years, violations of Chinese air and water space by the United States, especially in the Taiwan Strait area, were frequent, the number of warnings went beyond many hundreds. The exact number of warnings issued by China is difficult to estimate. It is known that by the end of 1964 alone there were more than 900 of them.

[Aaleks1974]

Latest Chinese warning? I've heard this before somewhere...

[andrewkor]

I remember how at school, during a political minute, they read out notes in central newspapers about another “serious warning” from China to the United States, when their Air Force violated the border during the Vietnam War. About 500 warnings!

[YanniKounnar]

Il me semble que les rapports de force entre la Chine et les USA ont beaucoup évolué depuis 55 ans...Et pas en faveur des USA

[Irek]

One hundred and twenty-fifth Chinese warning?

Chinese Foreign Minister: Americans should not cross China's red lines
People don't learn anything...
Americans are colorblind.
And they are also deaf.

[Nexcom]

...at the same time they don’t know Chinese....

[Mouse]

As practice shows... crossing these red lines is a piece of cake....they have already been drawn on all sides and all erased....

[Gardamir]

Putin is still a great man. Not only that, even literature teachers now speak at once. This is what the politicians of the world say about his “red lines”.

[rotmistr60]

The United States should not interfere in China's internal affairs, suppress China's development, or cross red lines

The demands put forward are correct, but not feasible for the United States with its policy of a “hegemon” accustomed to dictating its terms from the height of the throne.

in general, relations between the two states are now consistently positive

This was probably said so that the Americans would not be too offended, because trade continues to bring benefits to both countries. The Chinese mentality cannot be hidden under the rug.

[Electrical]

Beijing has always acted in relation to other states based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial partnership.

According to the Americans, these are exclusively Chinese problems. Since the United States itself has never bothered with anything like that.

[Alaburga]

The Chinese are cheerfully marching through the rake of the Kremlin authorities. It is not clear what is more in people, stupidity, lack of learning or greed with betrayal. The monkey won't let go, but will wait for his opium wars and a menu of sparrows. Why is it feng shui, the Chinese decided that the arrogant Saxons would allow, together with them, to rule the world. The Kremlin destroyed the entire USSR and paid tribute to simply become their own bourgeoisie, and it didn’t help. And the Chinese were presented with all the technology, finance on a silver platter, and the Chinese decided that they were in a more privileged position, or, I say, unteachable.

[Hyperstein]

Geopolitician by life! Purely concrete

Lately this has become a habit for him, and even more so from the Chinese.

[Bayun]

The PRC is doing the right thing by not trusting the pale-faced people. Well, how do white people play good-evil cops?

Biden's graters with the Russian Unknown Fathers in NO WAY characterize the “white clearing” from the point of view of “Big Brother”.
