Some Quotes :

“The alternative to a rules-based order is a world in which might makes right and winner takes all and that would be a far more violent and unstable world,” Blinken said.

The Chinese fired back. Yang Jiechi, a member of the Politburo, offered a lengthy monologue in which he said Western nations don’t represent global public opinion and called the U.S. the “champion” of cyber-attacks.

“Many people within the United States actually have little confidence in the democracy of the United States,” he said, citing the killing of Black Americans and the Black Lives Matter movement. Near the end of his opening remarks, he said Blinken’s comments weren’t “normal” and added that in response “mine aren’t either.”

Things only got worse from there. Cameras were ushered from the room, only to be called back in. Yang and Foreign Minister Wang Yi took the opportunity to follow up with even more criticism. “Is that the way you had hoped to conduct this dialogue?” Yang asked, according to his delegation’s translator. “I think we thought too well of the United States. The United States isn’t qualified to speak to China from a position of strength.”

    Yeah the cops were too busy running over people and wrecking the cars of passerbys. Do they show the video of people being shot on their front porch for filming the police? Or are you gonna keep saying "well some protests turned into riots so police states are legitimate"

      Dude I'm telling you what China saw. It's no different from Twitter or Youtube putting political topics they like up front where people will see them.

          So? There's no free speech in China. The government decides what's on the front page. We do the same, but private companies do it so it's OK in some kind of weird hardcore libertarian viewpoint.

            Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize the CCP sends direct broadcasts to the brain of their citizens.

            What's your point anyway?

              Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like Malikto is just trying to use their Chinese language skills and cultural knowledge to help us understand some of the discourse happening in China without it being filtered through an American source.
