Exclusive: Dirty trick again! US plots departure of staff from embassy in China ahead of Beijing Olympics

 

The US State Department is considering allowing its embassy and consulates to authorize the departure of their employees in China, citing "China's epidemic situation," a source familiar with the matter told the Global Times late Tuesday night.
`
While the Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed serious concerns and dissatisfaction over such a plan, Chinese experts said by politicizing China's anti-epidemic work, such ill-intentioned tactics expose only the true intention of Washington in sabotaging the Winter Olympic Games and its inconsistent China policy.
`
Such authorized departure needs to be approved by senior officials from the State Department, which aims at specific emergencies for US institutions overseas. And authorized departure gives US government employees at US embassies the option to depart if they wish and when their departure is not required.
`
Since the initial outbreak of novel coronavirus epidemic in January 2020, the US unilaterally announced a temporary shutdown of the US consulate in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei Province and evacuated its staff. Recently, the US has been conducting a number of acts in instigating and sabotaging the Winter Olympics in Beijing.
`
Such tricks ahead of the Chinese New Year and the Winter Games showed its true intention, which is beyond the anti-epidemic consideration but only serves to create panic, slander China's anti-epidemic work and disrupt China's successful hosting of the Winter Olympics.
`
Western media such as CNN and Reuters reported similar stories. CNN reported on Wednesday that the US diplomatic mission in China formally requested the State Department to grant American diplomats "authorized departure," allowing them and their families to leave the country amid China's seemingly increasingly strict COVID-19 containment measures, citing unnamed sources.
`
Reuters said the US State Department is considering this plan as the US embassy had sent the request to Washington for a formal sign-off, given the strict COVID-19 protocols that China has been taking ahead of the Winter Olympics.
`
Confusing mind-set
`
The logic behind the US' decision is confusing and hardly justifiable. China has expressed grave concern and dissatisfaction over this to the US side, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on Wednesday, noting China is undoubtedly the safest country at present. Evacuating from the safest place in the world will only expose US personnel to much greater risks of infection.
`
According to data from Worldmeters, a real-time statistics site, as of press time on Wednesday, the US has more than 72 million coronavirus infection cases and a death toll of 891,595. US media reported that cities and states are still struggling with a high demand for hospital services due to the spread of the Omicron variant, and in the past 24 hours, there have been 789,789 new confirmed cases and 1,583 new deaths.
`
About 2,000 Americans are dying from COVID-19 each day, ticking up from December. COVID-19 deaths, which often lag days to weeks behind outbreaks, are still increasing nationally.
`
In contrast, 4,636 patients died as a result of the virus infections on the Chinese mainland since the onset of the pandemic. And the toll has remained unchanged for almost a year, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Saturday.
`
Considering the string of provocations made by the US recently to sabotage the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, the US' plan to release the authorized departure ahead of the Olympic Games and the Spring Festival means no good. Its purpose is not about concerns over coronavirus but more about causing public panic, smearing China's achievements in fighting the pandemic, and disturbing the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, analysts said.
`
China is one of the safest places in the world, with its scientific and precise prevention measures winning applause, and its effective anti-epidemic strategy is well recognized which is in sharp contrast to the US' continuous chaos and failure in dealing with the pandemic, they noted.
`
Following its announcement of a "diplomatic boycott" of Beijing Winter Olympic Games in December, the plan is the latest trick played in less than 10 days before the Games, Li Haidong, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of the China Foreign Affairs University, told the Global Times on late Tuesday.
`
"What the US wants is, when you are preparing for a happy occasion, it is purposely making chaos," Li said, noting that in the eyes of the US, the Winter Olympic Games is not a big sports event, and China's prevention work is not the regular governance of "a normal country" and all these are measures for China to expand its influence so they have to be attacked by all means.
`
When US Secretary of State Antony Blinken referred to the US government's China approach, he used an old saying that "if you're not at the table, you'll probably be on the menu. We are and will remain at the table" at the Fran Eizenstat and Eizenstat Family Memorial Lecture Series, according to a statement released on the website of the State Department on Monday.
`
Li said that this is the US' logic of China-US relations, and in order not to help China with the Winter Olympics, it will sabotage it.
`
Politicizing the anti-epidemic work
`
A US diplomatic source familiar with the discussions told CNN the request was made after several diplomats and their families expressed fears over China's tightening anti- COVID measures in recent months, including snap lockdowns and quarantines that could potentially separate underage children from parents.
`
China's epidemic prevention and control protocols are rigorous and science-based, Zhao said, noting that China's effective measures have well protected foreign nationals in China.
`
"They are in line with provisions in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. We have made diplomatic and consular staff in China feel comfortable and protected their legitimate rights and interests," he said.
`
While there have been no incidents of diplomats being separated from their children, according to the media report, these so-called growing worries not only exposed the cultural differences but also signaled an "America First" or "America-based" mind-set, Yang Xiyu, a senior research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies in Beijing, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
`
"There's a huge gap of understanding on anti-epidemic work between the two countries, which is decided on the basis of their own situations. This is a fact," he said.
`
However, as long as there's political bias integrated into such a different understanding, such bias would distort China's anti-epidemic work and even politicize it, Yang noted.
`
Some Chinese netizens also mocked such plan of allowing the US embassy and consulates to authorize the departure of their employees in China by citing "China's epidemic situation." A netizen surnamed Yang said on Sina Weibo that "vice versa, should all the embassies and consulates of foreign countries in the US consider a similar move given the severe epidemic situation in the US?"
`
Inconsistent, risky polices
`
On the same day as the US mulled such a plan, the new US ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns, was sworn in. Experts also see other mixed signals in China-US relations. For example, the latest suspension of China-bound flights, and visa applications for 18 US officials to the Winter Olympics after the Biden administration launched a "diplomatic boycott" of the Games.
`
In the coming months until the end of the Olympics, Washington may take more actions as provocations against China and sabotage the sports event,and it will pull as more allies as possible to join it, Li said.
`
The US suspended 44 China-bound flights from the US by four Chinese airlines on Friday. The suspension will begin on January 30, marking the latest development on disputes over international flights and anti-epidemic rules between the two countries. Such a decision was slammed by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Monday, calling it an unreasonable and extremely irresponsible act that ignored passengers' health and safety.
`
The US' attempts to play the card of COVID-19 to further politicize sports and pressure China are doomed to fail and will only push itself against the international community and make itself the laughing stock, analysts said.
`
Making such a plan for authorized departures further proves that in the face of an overall stable and positive situation in China, the US intends to create more trouble to divert attention from the chaotic situation at home where its economy is now on the brink of collapse, and Washington needs to instigate a crisis overseas to attract oversea capital to the US, Lü Xiang, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Tuesday.
`
It's now in the situation: either passive governance or governance that leads to a mess. "Americans understand the risks they face domestically, so they escalate tensions with Russia, and now with China," Lü said. According to Lü, by hyping such an unrealistic plan of withdrawing its diplomatic staff and relevant personnel, the US government could create such a false image that the situation in China is intense, and US diplomatic staff are ready to leave anytime.
`
As long as a significant turmoil occurs outside the US, international capital would flow back to the US, as the US government hopes, "but I don't think it will work," the expert said.
`
Besides such an ill-intentioned trick of planning to authorize the departure of embassy staff, would the US come up with other tactics such as instigating tensions in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Straits? Lü warned that all kinds of preparation work need to be done as the possibility of the US government taking riskier moves can't be excluded.
`
Li also warned that China should not be too optimistic about the US' moves and should make full preparations and take firm countermeasures.

The problem is NOT China, but the US: Mr Blinken really had ' blinkers on ' by Vijay Prashad

Vijay Prashad Warns Biden Is “Doubling Down” on Trump's ...

 Beijing has accused the U.S. of perpetuating a Cold War mentality as President Joe Biden and senior administration officials shore up alliances in the Pacific region to counter China’s growing influence and increasingly describe the country as a geopolitical threat. Vijay Prashad, director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, says the “bellicose” tone out of Washington is not because the U.S. sees China as a military threat, but because China threatens U.S. dominance in the scientific, technological and diplomatic spheres. “It’s very chilling what the U.S. government is doing in ramping up this cold war,” says Prashad. #DemocracyNow

The problem is NOT China, but the US


` The US has conned the world for far too long, with its smooth and sweet rhetorics through the control of the media, with grandiose moral high grounds of human rights, freedom of speech, democracy etc., when itself is among the chief violators, not only in the US itself but throughout the world.

` The US on false pretexts bombed up Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen ( through its proxies) among others, created the human refugees catastrophe for which Europe had to bear the brunt of handling it.

` The US for decades had been an Evil Empire ,its actually the bull in the China shop.

` It has also destabilized many Latin American countries, and now karma has shown up at its own southern borders with refugees.

` I agree that Mr Blinken is a better looking version ( Version 2) of Mike Pompeo , but they are the same, carrying out the wishes of the American Military Complex.

` The Americans don't follow any international law or order, though they keep pontifying about it.

` They are above the laws and do what they like.

` In short, they are the big bully and now the rogue on the International Stage.

` At the recent meeting in Alaska, the US delegation was told to f...off, China gave the US a longer lecture in rebuttal.

` The US asked China not to bully America's lap dog Australia by imposing tariffs on Australian goods, but it’s ok for the US to impose tariffs on Chinese goods.

` The Australians are now feeling the pinch and the US is now trying to get Australia out of the ditch... more crudely out of the shit that the Americans pushed the Australians into.

` The world now needs China more than China needs the world ... that's a debate by itself, for another day.

` The US has resorted back to gunboat diplomacy.

` Apart from forming Quad, the US had asked and Britain and France had both just obliged by each sending a warship into the Pacific Ocean, from its very depleted fleet.

` This time round, China will not be intimidated. The Americans are sadly mistaken, that just because the West won the Cold War against the Soviet Union, they can win the Cold War, the Trade War against China.

` China is the giant that Napolean forsawed will awake one day and it has now woken up.

` China has delivered 700 to 900 million people out of poverty whereas more and more Americans have fallen below the poverty line. Is food and shelter, not a basic human right ?

` CHINA's progress did not come from the exploitation of other countries, like colonisation, rape and plunder and destruction of other countries, but through the hard work and the sweats toils and tears of the Chinese peasants and people.

` Don't forget the suffering of the 60 million 'Lost/ Damaged generation of China. These were the children who grew up , who were ' abandoned' by their fathers and mothers who left their countryside to work in the factories in the cities and the economic zones. The children don't get to see their parents for at least a year or even longer... a tremendous social price that was being paid, so that American consumers can enjoy cheap goods.

` At rallies after rallies, Trump retched up anti China and anti Chinese sentiments by accusing China of raping, plundering and robbing Americans because of repeated annual trade deficits for years of about US 550 Billion.

` The question the world can ask is,did China point a gun at the US to force it to buy Chinese products, unlike the time the West forced China to buy its opium.

` The US bought Chinese goods because it benefitted the American Consumers.... it helped to keep inflation down in America. What Trump did not tell the American public is that each year US Companies in China reek in revenues to the tune of US 750 Billion.

` Who forced the American companies to go and operate in China?

` The West, America and Europe have developed at the expense of the AAA (African, Asian, Aboriginals) countries and peoples.. through colonization , exploitation, killings, slavery etc.

` How can America, a nation of about 240 years lecture a 5000 years old, Chinese civilisation?

` The Wild Wild West foreign policy of the US will this time not work against China's Sun Tzu ‘Art of War'.

` Sadly, the US today is the world's biggest terrorist and gangster and a threat to international peace and human civilisation.

` Time for America to Repent.

` Do not be surprised if one day, Russian and Chinese missiles rained down on the US... if the US persists with its wet dreams that God created America and Mickey Mouse created the rest of the world.

` Ps . The Americans have been able to convinced the Eskimos to buy refrigerators 🤔

` I still believe the Americans planted the Covid 19 virus in Wuhan.

` Trump and Pompeo had been saying that the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab and they have the evidence. The whole world is still waiting to see the evidence.

China extends congratulations to Biden, Harris






Biden Photo: AFP 

The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday extended the country's congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and said China respects the choice of the Americans.

Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said that we have been watching the domestic and international reaction to the US presidential election, and we respect the choices of the Americans.

"We extend congratulations to Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris, and we also understand that the US election result will be decided in accordance with US laws and procedures," Wang said at Friday's media briefing.

Wang's remarks came after several world leaders and representatives of international organizations have congratulated Biden, who was declared the winner of the recent election.

Biden will closely follow US road of traditional defense policy

Yet there is little possibility that the Biden administration will accidentally ignite a conflict in the South China Sea. However, the chances that Trump will do so in the final days of presidency are rising sharply as he needs to leave a wealthy legacy for the military industries before he officially leaves office. But for Biden, dealing with the messy relations with other countries will be his priority after dealing with the COVID-19 virus and troubled US economy.

Chinese people's living situation justifies the CPC's leadership, and Pompeo's malicious rhetoric fools no one. Haunted by the “Marxist-Leninismonster” in his brain, Pompeo and his like are dragging the American people into a capitalist black hole. It's very likely that Pompeo will eventually retreat from his position in months. By then, Pompeo's claims against China will sound like his political will. Yet China's booming development will attest that Pompeo is the “worst Secretary of State in history.”
