The high-level U.S.-China diplomatic talks ended in Anchorage, Alaska, and Yu Maochun, an expert on Chinese Communist Party issues, criticized Beijing officials for not following the rules and losing their diplomatic demeanor during the talks, and for being a “big diplomatic failure. The once long-sleeved “Tiger Yang” has transformed into a “War Wolf“.
During the two-day dialogue, both officials showed a tough stance in front of the camera. On the 18th, the opening speech, which was originally scheduled to last only a few minutes, turned into an hour-long war of words in front of the camera due to the “overtime speech” of Yang Jiechi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Working Committee.
Yu Maochun, former chief China Policy adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, told Radio Free Asia that “the Chinese Communist Party (official) spoke for more than 10 minutes, unruly, rude, and without the posture of a diplomat. This shows that the Chinese representative did not come to the issue with sincerity, but only wanted to use the camera to attack the United States.
Yu Maochun, who was born in China, criticized that “China has blamed the United States for all the problems in Sino-U.S. relations and has no sincerity to reflect on itself, which is a big failure in (Chinese) diplomacy.
Regarding the “battle wolf” style of Chinese diplomacy in recent years, Yu Maochun analyzed, “In the past, battle wolf diplomacy was used by people at a lower level, like the Foreign Ministry spokesman, who might represent grassroots officials and the masses of people eating melons. “.
Yu Maochun believes that the “war wolf diplomacy” will only make China’s international image more isolated, and also show that Beijing’s diplomatic methods are very rigid. In this sudden show of “war wolf diplomacy,” the most interesting role is the transformation of Yang Jiechi.
Yang Jiechi is a diplomat who used to look low-key; now his tone has turned so tough and impersonal that it must be an instruction from above, and he is just a sounding board,” Yu Maochun said.
