About Secretary of State's visit to Peking 2023/Carlos Pueblo
Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, was invited to visit Peking, China for two days on official diplomatic business. This visit did expose Chinese rudeness among people who met him from the top, Xi and down to the foreign department officials. I can only conclude that Chinese are very impolite and attempting to get something to save their face.
Blinken is a top US official and represents President Biden to visit China. At least Chinese government need to send a proper official such as the foreign minister to greet him at the airport, to arrange a sedan to take him to his hotel not by a bus. After discussing matters with two Chinese top diplomats, one in Chinese foreign affairs department and the other one in the Community Party foreign apparatus. Blinken was permitted to meet Xi, the President of China and the Chairman of Chinese Communist Party. All Chinese media as well as Taiwanese media point it out Xi's seat is above Blinken on the top of a table to show that Xi is number 1 and looking down upon Blinken as a foreign subordinate. It is ridiculous.
The US and China are in the economic war via the tariff, 25%. Plus the US posts sanctions on some computer products to avoid some patent issues with China. Chinese export drops significantly, factories closed, and people unemployed that is the fact. The US White House must monitor the progress both nations agree to improve the situation. Blinken is on that mission. The US is gradually moving some Chinese import to many other nations in the rest of the world. The largest US trade partner are now Canada and Mexico. We can see many imports on the US market are from other nations not from China any longer. Some Chinese products are labeled ad Made in PRC to avoid China. PRC is the People Republic of China in short. Chinese are no longer proud of made in China to avoid the resentment.
I can point it out the world resentment in China, first in Hong Kong and second the covid19. The UK, US, and Japan are three major victim of the Hong Kong issue due to Chinese confiscate Hong Kong and violate the agreement with the UK signed in 1997. Chinese have covered up the out break of Wuhan Corona Virus or covid19 and the world have suffered huge loss of human life including China itself.
