As the first high-level U.S.-China talks break up, Chinese diplomats put on a “wolf diplomacy show,” causing the Communist government to lose face in the international community and making it more difficult for the U.S.-China relationship to de-escalate.
The first high-level U.S.-China talks have broken up, and Chinese diplomats have put on a “wolf diplomacy show,” causing the Chinese government to lose face in the international community and making it more difficult for the U.S.-China relationship to de-escalate. Scholars believe that the Chinese representatives are acting under the direction of Xi Jinping, the biggest test of the Biden administration, and how Biden responds will determine the tone of U.S.-China relations in the next four years.
On March 19, the first high-level U.S.-China talks ended in icy Alaska, and the war-wolf speech of Chinese representative Yang Jiechi became the focus of public opinion at the talks.
Although the outside world is no stranger to the Chinese Communist Party‘s style of diplomatic war wolves, it is still somewhat surprising that the talks, which Beijing “begged” for, were botched by the Chinese Communist Party itself at a Time when U.S.-China relations are strained.
Yu Maochun, former chief China Policy advisor to the U.S. Secretary of State, told Free Asia that Yang Jiechi used to keep a low profile, but now his tone is so strong that he must have been instructed by Xi Jinping from above, and Yang is just a sounding board.
Shen Rongqin, an associate professor at York University in Canada, pointed out in a Facebook post that Xi’s move is the biggest test for the Biden Administration, and that the way Biden responds will determine the tone of future U.S.-China relations.
According to the article, the rudeness of Chinese diplomats is not only known to the world, but also not from today’s “War Wolf diplomacy”. Back in the early days of the Chinese Communist Party’s usurpation of power, the international community was stunned by the late arrival and early departure of Chinese diplomats around the world, as well as their spitting and wild behavior.
The then Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai had to order in 1951 that the “Instructions for Diplomatic Relations with Foreign Guests” should not be late for banquets or leave early, and no spittoon should be set up in the room.
In 2011, Li Yongsheng, first secretary of the Chinese Communist Party in the Philippines, shouted at a Philippine official during a discussion on the Spratlys, and was thrown out of the meeting.
In October 2020, a Chinese Communist Party diplomat barged into the Taiwan Foreign Mission at a reception in Palau, Fiji, and openly assaulted someone. Chinese Communist Party Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Europe in September and displayed war-wolf diplomacy by threatening the president of the Czech Senate who was visiting Taiwan, which was severely condemned by EU countries.
Shen Rongqin also mentioned that the Chinese ambassador to France, Lu Shano, sent a letter to French Senator Alain Richard last month threatening to cancel his visit to Taiwan and forbidding him to have any kind of contact with Taiwan, much to the displeasure of Senator Richard.
In fact, since the outbreak of the Chinese Communist Party virus early last year, the “wolf” diplomacy of Chinese ambassadors abroad has been unacceptable to countries around the world.
In response to international demands for compensation for the outbreak, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Embassy in India tweeted that it was “ridiculous and eye-catching nonsense!
In response to Venezuelan officials calling it a “Chinese (Communist) virus,” the Chinese Embassy in Venezuela tweeted that some critics of China could “put on a mask and shut up!
Douglas H. Paal, a former senior U.S. diplomat and vice president for research at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told VOA, “Chinese Communist diplomats are being fed wolf milk. It’s a kind of war-wolf school of diplomacy.”
In fact, Chinese people, especially those who lived through the Cultural Revolution, are not unfamiliar with the phrase “raised on wolf’s milk. According to a Beijing-based historian, the CCP’s war-wolf diplomats of the Xi Jinping era were like barbarians outside the gates of the civilized world.
According to Baudouin, this war-wolf diplomacy of the CCP ambassador will not stop, but will even intensify, “If you think the situation is bad now, wait a little longer and it will get worse.”
