Yang Jiechi’s “mouthpiece” causes trouble, displeases Chinese military think-tank

Yang Jiechi, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

In the recently concluded U.S.-China talks, top Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi’s “War Wolf” comments sparked discontent among senior Chinese military thinkers, who fear that strategic trust between the U.S. and China has been lost and that a crisis could erupt at any Time.

The first high-level U.S.-China talks since the Biden administration took office ended last week, with Yang Jiechi, director of the Communist Party’s Central Foreign Affairs Office, and Wang Yi, the Communist Party’s foreign minister, striking a “battle wolf” stance at the outset of the talks.

In particular, Yang Jiechi shocked the international community by disregarding diplomatic etiquette and making a 17-minute long “verbal exchange”. He said that the United States “is not qualified to speak to China from above” and “the Chinese do not eat this”.

Guo Baosheng, a Chinese commentator on current affairs and religious affairs, said in a commentary published in Min Bao Bao on the 22nd, that Yang Jiechi suddenly went on a wolfish rampage at the US-China talks on the 18th and rebuked US Secretary of State Blinken to his face: the US is not qualified to speak to China from a position of strength! The implication is that the Chinese Communist Party is now more powerful and more qualified to speak with the United States.

Hearing this, the Chinese Communist Party’s 50 cents, pinko and pro-Communist people were as excited as if they had chicken blood, thinking they could level the world and raise their eyebrows! Guo Baosheng said that Yang Jiechi’s arrogant and overbearing face would only deceive the Boxers and Xi Yizun at Home, but increase the world’s disgust and rejection of the Chinese Communist hegemony and make common cause!

The day after the U.S.-China meeting (20), the Chinese Communist Party held the 2021 China Development High-Level Forum.

According to several media reports, Major General Yao Yunzhu, a senior think tank of the Chinese Communist Party military, pointed out in response to the U.S.-China talks that strategic trust between China and the U.S. has now been lost and that a crisis between China and the U.S. could erupt at any time, and that future crisis management with the U.S. should be strengthened with reference to the U.S.-Soviet Cold War experience, and that rules of behavior should also be set for the Chinese side in close contact with the U.S. side.

According to Guo Baosheng, Yao Yunzhu’s words are a sign of his discontent with Yang Jiechi’s words and actions, and his provocative behavior of provoking the U.S. side to its face, regardless of the crisis it has caused. Yao’s words can also be seen as the voice of the pragmatic faction within the CCP.

Yao Yunzhu was the director and doctoral supervisor of the Center for Defense Studies on the U.S. at the Chinese Communist Party’s Academy of Military Sciences, and has participated in numerous military forums on China and the U.S. He is an authoritative figure on the Chinese Communist Party’s defense of the U.S. Guo Baosheng Bing, Yao, as someone who really understands the military power of China and the U.S., is more calm and pragmatic, and he knows that if China and the U.S. go to war now, the Chinese Communist Party will definitely be defeated.

At present, the Chinese Communist Party’s military cannot compare with the United States in any other aspects except for the advantage of missiles. Previously, some military experts analyzed that the four major military technologies of the CCP including long-range delivery, weapons preparation, materials research and strategic thinking are far behind the US, with weapons at least half a century behind the US.

Guo Baosheng said Yao Yunzhu is dissatisfied with the frivolous and adventurous nature of the pro-war faction, whose “patriotic show” could lead to a huge crisis or even disaster, and the pragmatic faction hopes that the CCP should not be too aggressive and provocative to the U.S., but should continue to hold back and wait for a peaceful coexistence with the U.S.

However, the article says, the pragmatic faction within the CCP has very little voice at present, and is almost controlled by the main war faction. Just as the pragmatic faction, such as Li Hongzhang, was once abandoned by Empress Dowager Cixi in the early years of the Qing Dynasty and adopted the ideas of the main war faction and even the Boxer Rebellion, the pragmatic faction within the CCP has long been sidelined by Xi Jinping.

Xi Jinping’s goal is global hegemony, so Xi is relying on the war wolves, the hardliners against the United States, and the main war faction. According to Guo Baosheng, officials in the CCP’s diplomatic and propaganda systems have become “Boxers” who often denounce the U.S. and Britain, playing “mouth-breathing” for fun and being ruthless.

Yu Maochun, a former principal adviser to the U.S. State Department on China Policy, shared the same view when interviewed after the U.S.-China talks. He said that Yang Jiechi used to keep a low profile, but now he is talking out of turn, being extremely rude and impolite, and that this is entirely at the behest of Xi Jinping, and that Yang is merely Xi’s sounding board.

Guo Baosheng said that Xi Jinping will not listen to the advice of the pragmatic faction. Although Yao Yunzhu and others in the military have voiced their rational and pragmatic views, Xi and the main warring faction will still do what they want to do and go their own way. Therefore, what awaits the Chinese Communist regime will be the joint siege, crackdown and even complete collapse of the democratic countries.
