The US Build-Up for War with China - Visit by US Secretary of State attempts to portray the US as “reasonable” versus a “belligerent” Chinese “dictatorship;” - Secretary Blinken recited the US “One China” policy, omitting the many ways the US has and still is blatantly violating it and provoking China; - US strategy follows similar pattern of the US “reset” with Russia or the US-Iran “nuclear deal,” where the US sought to appear to have exhausted diplomatic options before moving on “reluctantly” to economic sanctions and war; - Such a strategy is necessary for consensus building among US allies who would otherwise be hesitant to join the US in both economic sanctions and eventual military intervention versus China; - US policymakers are already busy planning sanctions against China, which includes an already ongoing public relations campaign to sell Russia-style sanctions against China, as well as preparations for military operations to follow the sanctions; - The US has a long-standing strategy to encircle and contain China spanning decades, indifferent to presidential administrations; References: CNN - Blinken touts ‘progress’ made in highly-anticipated Beijing meetings (June 19, 2023): https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/18/china/blinken-china-visit-wang-yi-meeting-intl-hnk/index.html White House (official) - Remarks by President Biden at a Campaign Reception (June 20, 2023): https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2023/06/20/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-campaign-reception/ VOA - US Officials Agree: China’s Xi Is a Dictator (June 25, 2023): https://www.voanews.com/a/us-officials-agree-china-s-xi-is-a-dictator/7152326.html US Department of State - U.S. Relations With Taiwan: https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-taiwan/ Wilson Center - Joint Communique between the United States and China (1972): https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/121325.pdf?v=b6f92f00846fba4e9b2891ea5320a5f5 US State Department, Office of the Historian - Courses of Action in Vietnam (1965): https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v03/d189 Brookings Institution - Which Path to Persia?

The US consistently attempts to confuse the world about its intentions and what’s going to happen, indicated by its history of appearing diplomatic before bringing out the dagger from behind their back and stabbing the other party. Elon Musk’s Twitter deal was another example of contradictory behavior and narratives, where the deal was supposed to go through, then apparently the deal fell through with prospects “not looking good” for the buyout, and then the deal is rammed through and happens anyway. You can tell what’s going to happen by understanding that what is worst for the working class will be the final outcome, and all the back-and-forth is just nonsense designed to confuse people and have them let down their guard. The US will never approach China (or any other country) in good faith until their hegemony is irreversibly destroyed, and the nation’s ruling class government (capitalism) is irreversibly replaced by the working class government (socialism).
