Decoupling, the main theme of U.S.-China relations in 2020. At the beginning of the new year, the U.S. government released a new signal that beyond the U.S.-China decoupling, epidemic recovery is being incorporated into the agenda. I am afraid that this process is no longer a one-man show for the United States either.
The Chinese Communist Party’s Extreme Vulnerability Reveals Itself
The Chinese Communist regime quickly smelled a difference. At the first press conference of the Chinese Foreign Ministry after the New Year, a reporter from China Daily suddenly asked a question: According to the Daily Mail, U.S. Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, John Pottinger, said he believes that the new coronavirus was most likely leaked from a Chinese laboratory and that there is credible evidence that the Wuhan Virus Institute is the source of the global spread of the outbreak. What is China’s response to this?
Such a question is usually asked by reporters from outside China, but this time the CCP deliberately arranged for a party media reporter to ask the question and take the initiative to expose this information, which shows that the CCP is quite faint-hearted and deliberately made a big move to deny it.
Hua Chunying, the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, also choreographed her performance, first falsely saying that she “could not believe it” and calling it a “lie”, and again citing the New Year’s message of WHO Director-General Tan Desai as a “conspiracy theory”, and even asking the US to accept the investigation.
Hua Chunying’s script, which was made up in advance, was not seamless, mentioning in the middle that “the epidemic broke out in the second half of the previous year in many parts of the world at multiple points, and the timeline is constantly moving forward.
This phrase was meant to be used as a way to shake off the blame, but the Chinese Communist Party took the initiative to admit that the outbreak was “constantly ahead of schedule,” which I’m afraid made things awkward. Hua Chunying had also leaked the secret that the U.S. had been notified since January 3, 2020, and Xi Jinping later made a point of confessing that he had personally made the epidemic preparations at the Politburo Standing Committee on January 7. Now, the CCP is suddenly admitting that the epidemic is “moving up the timeline,” a new lie that the CCP is fabricating to puncture its own previous lies. But the Chinese Communist Party apparently does not realize it yet.
At the press conference that day, the AFP reporter also asked: Can the Foreign Ministry confirm that the WHO expert group on the traceability of the new coronavirus will come to China this month? Can you provide more details, including how long the expert group will stay in China? Will it travel to Wuhan?
Hua Chunying continued her perfunctory answer, “No specific information is available to you,” trying to downplay the investigation into the origin of the virus, but then falsely claiming “cooperation. Hua also repeated the same statement that “the outbreak broke out in the second half of the previous year in many places around the world, and the timeline is constantly moving forward” and that “other countries concerned can also cooperate with the investigation.
Obviously, the Chinese Communist Party, sensing that the US and the rest of the world will soon be held accountable, has started to plan another round of blame dumping and denial. No one will listen to the CCP’s lies, but the posturing is likely to repeat the story of 2020 and botch it up again.
U.S.-China decoupling is actually a prelude to epidemic accountability
The Chinese Communist Party still thinks that it can avoid being held accountable if it continues to deny and shrug off the epidemic and continues to conceal it. The top brass of the CCP may still not have figured out why the U.S.-China relationship is headed for decoupling.
In fact, Trump began cutting off communication channels with Xi Jinping in late March 2020. trade deal, no ink was dry, and the world was hit with a plague from China. 100 trade deals won’t make up for the damage – all the innocent lives lost!”
On May 14, Trump said, “We can cut off the whole relationship [with the Chinese Communist Party].”
From January 15, when the first phase of the U.S.-China trade agreement was signed, to May 14, when Trump said he was disengaging, the changes that occurred in four months were largely due to the Chinese Communist Party’s concealment of the epidemic, its deliberate spreading of the virus, and its continued denial and shifting of blame, even in an attempt to use the epidemic for hegemony and to bring down the United States.
The Chinese Communist Party pushed through the “Hong Kong version of the National Security Law“, which accelerated the process of decoupling the U.S. and China. Since then, the CCP has repeatedly tried to provoke and directly participated in the U.S. election fraud, which has accelerated the decoupling of the U.S. and China.
At a press conference of the Chinese Foreign Ministry on January 4, another reporter from Beijing Daily asked: Recently, the website of the Swedish mainstream media Daily News reported that the U.S. had pressured Switzerland on excluding huawei from participating in Sweden’s 5G construction. The U.S. ambassador to Sweden had told the media that he was pleased that Sweden had reached the same conclusion as the U.S., Britain and Australia regarding 5G construction ……
Once again, the Chinese Communist Party arranged for questions from the party media in an attempt to push back against the U.S. Hua Chunying did call the U.S. “coercive” and portrayed the Chinese Communist Party as a “victim. Xinhua, the CCP’s party media, was also quick to quote the report, calling itself a “victim.
Since the U.S.-China decoupling, the CCP has finally admitted that it has been “victimized” or suffered great losses, and that the series of sanctions imposed by the U.S. on the CCP have made the CCP show its true colors and no longer have any backbone.
In 2020, the CCP will not be able to hold back the US-China decoupling caused by the CCP’s concealment of the epidemic, and in 2021, more countries will start to pursue the epidemic beyond the US-China decoupling, and the CCP will not be able to resist.
How long can the Chinese Communist Party hold out?
At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the epidemic is worsening again in various countries, and the loss of life and economy is increasing. Does the Chinese Communist Party really think that it can get by with denial and blame dumping?
The CCP’s top brass may think that it has made unprecedented concessions to Europe by pushing through the China-Europe Investment Agreement (CEIA), seemingly suspending European recourse, but how will the CCP deliver? The CCP also claims to be joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), but Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga confessed that it would be “it is difficult.” He said that CPTPP requires member countries to have a very high level of market openness, and “it is difficult for China to participate with its current political and economic system.
Japan does not think the CCP can be trusted at all. The example of the first phase of the U.S.-China trade agreement could not be more vivid, and Japan seems to understand the CCP better than the U.S. does. Europe should soon experience the same encounter and come to its senses once and for all.
This series of moves by the Chinese Communist Party is nothing more than an attempt to escape international isolation. The CCP’s concealment of the epidemic is the root cause of its international isolation, but the CCP is putting the cart before the horse and trying to cover up its core culpability with a different, sinister approach. This actually dooms the CCP’s next step.
Today, the epidemic is rampant in mainland China and many areas are back in a state of savage isolation, including Beijing. Such signals suggest that the story of 2020 is about to repeat itself, and that the CCP will once again repeat the same mistakes. The CCP is still trying to continue to hide the fact that the days of the CCP regime are actually numbered.
Countries that have suffered another round of plague are unlikely to let the CCP get away with it, and the U.S. briefing with countries on the results of the investigation is actually the beginning of a joint pursuit of responsibility. The top echelons of the CCP certainly felt it and were thus thrown into an even greater panic.
The top brass of the CCP seems to recognize that the U.S. will not only launch an epidemic pursuit, but will also seek justice for the CCP’s involvement in the U.S. election fraud. In its recent moves, the CCP also seems to be temporarily abandoning its efforts to improve relations with the U.S. and instead trying to improve relations with other countries by pretending to make concessions, in an actual attempt to break up the alliance of international recriminations. But the CCP has made the wrong calculations and used the wrong tricks, not to mention not understanding the providence that the virus is coming for the Communists.
The Communist Party top brass has again misjudged the situation in 2021 and feels that the United States, mired in a second epidemic and election fraud, is in decline and is trying to play tough with the U.S., which will trigger a bigger U.S.-China confrontation and conflict. The CCP’s false concessions to Europe, and perhaps even to more countries, will obviously not be honored and will soon be revealed, making it impossible to muddle through and triggering a more multilateral conflict.
In 2021, not only will the CCP not be able to get out of the quagmire in U.S.-China relations, but it will also be in more and bigger quagmires.
This is not only a misjudgment of the CCP’s top brass externally, but also directly related to the escalation of the CCP’s internal strife, I am afraid. With no way out, the CCP will continue to struggle helplessly, which will bring more unexpected events in 2021, and the CCP will continue to embark on the road of no return to accelerate its disintegration in 2021.
