Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks at a CPAC meeting on Feb. 27.
The first day of the U.S.-China talks (March 18) was marked by a war of words, with the Chinese Communist Party representative aggressively defying prescriptive rules and speaking seriously overtime. U.S. media said the Biden administration got its first taste of Chinese Communist Party war-wolf diplomacy. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted “1,327 days” on the second day of the U.S.-China talks, raising concerns about the implication of that number.
After the U.S. side raised the issue of the CCP’s actions in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Xinjiang, as well as the CCP’s cyber attacks and economic coercion, the Chinese side immediately issued a war-wolf style statement during Thursday’s meeting. The bullying behavior of the Chinese delegates also shocked their U.S. counterparts.
In an interview with Newsmax News on Thursday, Pompeo reminded the Biden Administration to be wary of the Chinese Communist Party’s ill-intentioned use of delaying tactics to gain an advantage.
He took to Twitter again Friday to seemingly comment on the first day of the U.S.-China meeting. He wrote, “Strength is what deters the bad guys, weakness only invites war.”
He followed that up with a tweet that read “1,327 days.”
Those who follow the U.S. election will know that the 2024 election is on Nov. 5, 1,327 days from that date this Friday. Pompeo’s announcement of this number at the moment of the U.S.-China talks is intriguing.
But this is not the first Time Pompeo has tweeted about the countdown to the 2024 election. He tweeted “1,384 days” the day after he left office, indicating that there were 1,384 days until the next presidential election.
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to former President Trump, tweeted Friday that Chinese Communist Party officials will never talk to President Trump in the same posture as they did with the Biden administration yesterday.
When top Biden administration officials chose a location for their first meeting with their Chinese counterparts, they chose snow-capped Anchorage, according to an article in The Washington Post titled “Biden administration gets a taste of China’s ‘war-wolf diplomacy. But footage of Thursday’s meeting between Secretary of State John Blinken and top Chinese Communist Party diplomat Yang Jiechi showed the atmosphere was more blazing than cool. The Biden administration seems to have gotten its first real taste of the Chinese Communist Party’s “War Wolf diplomacy.
On Friday, U.S. officials said before and after the talks that it was a difficult meeting.
After the first high-level U.S.-China talks ended Friday afternoon, Blinken and Sullivan held a press conference to summarize their first meeting, with Blinken saying the U.S. raised difficult topics such as Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Tibet, Taiwan and cyber attacks with the Chinese side.
The Chinese side again took a resistant approach to those topics. “When we raised these issues clearly and directly, we got a defensive response (from the Chinese side).” Blinken said.
Republican Rep. Paul Gosar tweeted Friday criticizing the Biden administration’s “America Last” foreign policy as a result of the Communist Party saying to Biden, “You don’t have the power. He also criticized Biden’s (administration) weakness as evident.
Pompeo has previously urged the Biden administration to be tough on the Chinese Communist Party in order to build deterrence and thus protect U.S. freedoms.
“When you’re tough, when you’re strong, and you build deterrence, then safeguarding American freedom is possible to do.” Pompeo said.
He also explained that whether it’s China (Communist Party of China) or Iran, or a threat from a world terrorist group, they only recognize strength. A leader who is prepared to do the right thing to ensure American freedom will deter them. That’s what the Trump Administration has done, and “that’s what we’ve tried to do, in our four years, to make America safer and more prosperous.”
