Chinese officials open talks claiming the United States has lost power to advocate for democracy

US and Chinese officials traded heavy criticism of each other’s country on Thursday, as officials from both countries met face to face for the first time since President Joe Biden took office. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan clashed with Yang Jiechi, the head of foreign affairs of the Chinese Communist Party, as the two-day talks began in Alaska on Thursday. While Blinken said the Biden administration had joined its allies in fighting and reasserting China’s growing authoritarianism at home and abroad, Yang accused the United States of hypocrisy in its criticism of Beijing over human rights and other issues. The meeting comes amid escalating tensions between the two countries on a number of issues: trade, human rights, the coronavirus epidemic, and China’s actions in the South China Sea. Blinken said that China’s actions in Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as cyber attacks on the United States and economic coercion against US allies, “all threaten the rules-based order that maintains global stability.” “That is why they are not just internal issues, and why do we feel the duty to raise these issues here today,” he said. Likewise, Sullivan said, China has committed “an assault on fundamental values.” “We are not seeking conflict, but we welcome intense competition,” he said. Yang accused Blinken, Sullivan and other US officials of “condescension” and hypocrisy, saying that the United States did not address its own human rights issues and internal discontent. He said, “We believe it is important for the United States to change its image and stop promoting its democracy in the rest of the world.” “A lot of people inside the United States have little confidence in US democracy.” “China will not accept the unjustified accusations from the US side,” he said. He pointed out that the recent events sparked a “period of unprecedented difficulty” in the relations between the two countries and “harmed the interests of our peoples.” He said, “There is no way to suffocate China.” Blinken responded by saying after speaking with world leaders on his trip to Japan and South Korea that he had the opposite impression about the world’s view of the United States. Blinken said. “I also hear a deep concern about some of the measures your government is taking.”
