US Secretary of State Blinken expounded on the current US policy toward China on the 26th of this month, calling on China to abide by international norms. Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister and Spokesperson Hua Chunying responded to Blinken in a series of 11 tweets from yesterday.
Hua Chunying: It sounds a lot like a declaration of a full-scale strategic competition or war with China
Hua Chunying: Isn’t more than 80% of the military conflicts after World War II initiated by the United States?
Hua Chunying: In the past 10 years alone, the United States has invaded more than 20 countries and controlled the change of regimes in these countries.
Hua Chunying: Why does the United States strengthen the Five Eyes alliance, promote the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, organize the AUKUS Security Alliance, and strengthen bilateral military alliances with China’s neighboring countries?

Blinken: The U.S. has no intention of hindering China’s economic development or promoting people’s interests
Hua Chunying: If so, why hasn’t the US lifted its tariffs on China? Why spare no effort to suppress Chinese high-tech companies?

Blinken: All nations are free to chart their own course without coercion
Hua Chunying: Think carefully about the Monroe Doctrine that US foreign policy adheres to, such as targeting the island countries in Latin America and the South Pacific.

Blinken: China is putting millions of Americans out of work and undermining the rights of workers and businesses
Hua Chunying: I’ve made China a scapegoat again. It’s because the US imposed tariffs that caused companies to suffer losses of US$1.7 trillion (about HK$13.3 trillion), and 240,000 people lost their jobs.

Hua Chunying questioned: Blinken never mentioned the Texas elementary school shooting. Shouldn’t the indifference, selfishness, and arrogance of American politicians be responsible for this tragedy?

Regarding Blinken’s reiteration of the US’s one-China policy, Hua Chunying insisted that Taiwan is part of China.

Hua Chunying: Obviously Blinken doesn’t like the Chinese government and tries to separate the Chinese Communist Party from the Chinese people, but in fact, the 1.4 billion Chinese people are more than 95% satisfied with the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party.
