Blinken, having read out the prepared ‘grievances’ indictment, found that the anti-hero, Yang Jiechi, instead of being chastened, hit back.

Biden asserted that China wanted to supplant the United States as the world’s leader, as if that in itself is a crime.

Blinken, who graduated from Columbia University with a law degree, is obviously not well suited in history or diplomacy. When it comes to Asia Political Science, he earns a failing grade.

Anyone who expected a change in tone in foreign policy due to the transition from Trump to Biden has to be disappointed.

The Biden Administration is committed to accelerating the worst elements of the “hard imperial” practices of military encirclement of China while also advancing the “soft imperial” practices, Matt Ehret writes.

U.S., British and other NATO leaders need to grow up fast: Instead, they witlessly allow themselves to be trapped in their own infantile rhetoric, Martin Sieff writes.

The Biden administration has displayed initial deluded and antiquated thinking when it comes to foreign policy.

But is this move anything new, in real terms? Or is it part of a new world order that all western powers have, in reality, signed up to regardless?

Russia would do well to stay calm and let the Americans make fools of themselves.

In the West, and especially the USA, today, we observe an inability to imagine, understand, come to terms with or tolerate difference.
