US-China Relations: Blinken Accuses China of Acting More Aggressively

US-China Relations: China is charged with behaving more aggressively abroad and has been extra repressive at home by the United States Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken.

This statement was made while he was interviewed on CBS News. The United state isn’t interested in keeping China down, but it will not permit the country to sabotage the rules-based international order.

He explained that a military confrontation was not the involvement that both countries will like to include.

There are series of topics such as the pandemic, espionage, and trade that spiked the tensions in the atmosphere in recent times.

The US-China relationship is critical to both countries and also to the major fractions of the world. Beijing is constantly beckoning on Joe Biden’s administration at the White House to strengthen the relationships which meet some dead-ends under the former president, Donald Trump.

Mr. Anthony Blinken explained to CBS that President Joe Biden and Chinese Xi Jinping had discussed many issues during their first phone call, which lasted for 120 minutes in February.

“President Biden made clear that in several areas, we have real concerns about the actions that China has taken, and that includes in the economic area, and that includes the theft of intellectual property,” he said.

The US has earlier charged China with theft of hundreds of billions of dollars in intellectual property and secrets trade, but Mr. Blinken doesn’t call China an enemy.

“We don’t have the luxury of not dealing with China,” he said. “There are real complexities to the relationship, whether it’s the adversarial piece, whether it’s the competitive piece, whether it’s the co-operative piece.”

But, he said, although China was behaving like “someone who’s trying to compete unfairly and increasingly in adversarial ways… we’re much more effective and stronger when we’re bringing like-minded and similarly aggrieved countries together to say to Beijing: ‘This can’t stand, and it won’t stand.'”

Anthony Blinken is going to visit London for a meeting of foreign ministers from the G7 industrialized countries, which is going to be physical for the first time in over two years.

President Joe Biden said during his first speech at the congress last week that his administration is not aiming at considering China as an enemy and that he explained to President Xi Jinping during their call section that “we welcome the competition to be the dominant global power.”
