Who should evaluate democracy? Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi contradict themselves
During the high-level U.S.-China meeting in Alaska on the 18th, Yang Jiechi said, “The United States has an American-style democracy, China has a Chinese-style democracy, and American democracy should be evaluated not only by Americans, but also by the people of the world, and it is not up to the United States alone to say how well American democracy is doing.” However, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who sat next to Yang Jiechi at the 18th meeting, declared at a press conference on March 7 that “the Chinese people have the most say in whether China (CCP) is doing well or not; the Chinese people are the masters of what China should do.”
In this regard, Radio Free Asia’s “Earworm” commented: Is it the people of a country who have the most say in whether a country is doing well, or is it the people of the world who should evaluate it? When the Chinese Communist Party talks about its own country, it says that it will “abide by the principle of non-interference in internal affairs,” but when it comes to the United States, it leaves behind the “golden rule” of “abiding by the principle of non-interference in internal affairs. Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi are the top officials of the Chinese Communist Party’s diplomacy, but their statements contradict each other.
The article also says that the Chinese Communist Party has recently drastically changed the electoral system in Hong Kong, and the democratic elements have been completely stifled, but the Chinese Communist Party insists that this is a “new democratic electoral system with Hong Kong characteristics”. should be evaluated by the people of the world”?
Americans think the Chinese Communist Party is very different from Trump to Biden, and Biden should be warned

At the top-level U.S.-China talks in Alaska on March 19, Communist Party Politburo member Yang Jiechi and Foreign Minister Wang Yi seriously overstayed their welcome during their opening remarks, and Yang Jiechi kept ranting during his opening remarks. However, the Chinese official media said that the U.S. representative “seriously overstayed his Time and violated diplomatic etiquette” when he delivered his opening remarks. At the regular press conference of the Chinese Foreign Ministry on the same day, spokesman Zhao Lijian did not respond directly to the serious overtime of the Chinese side, but said that the U.S. side did not abide by the prior agreement on speaking time and provoked the dispute in the first place.
Reuters quoted McCaul, a senior Republican member of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, as saying that through this engagement, the Biden Administration should recognize what it is dealing with, and that the Chinese Communist Party’s belligerence and accusations should be a wake-up call for the Biden administration.
Jordan Schneider, a China affairs and technology analyst at the U.S. consulting firm Rongding Group, tweeted, “Chinese officials are mad as hell, and when it comes to engaging with the Trump Administration, they don’t breathe. But in their first engagement with Biden administration officials, you’d think they’d want to make a good first impression, and as a result, they’ve decided to act like war wolves.”
Republican Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Texas) tweeted Friday criticism that this is the result of Biden’s “America Last” foreign policy, in which the Chinese Communist Party said to Biden, “You have no power.” He also criticized Biden’s (administration) weakness was obvious.
Top Republican: Strength and action are the only things the CPC can understand
Bloomberg reporter Peter Martin commented that Yang Jiechi’s behavior was “carefully controlled,” quoting former U.S. official Dennis Wilder as saying, “He [Yang Jiechi] has this ability to be extremely flattering when he needs to be flattering and extremely angry when he needs to be angry. and extreme anger when he needs to be angry, and he’s good at both.”
The Voice of America reported that Rep. McCaul, the ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, responded to the day’s high-level U.S.-China talks on Thursday evening (18) EST, lambasting Chinese Communist Party officials for their actions.
McCaul tweeted, “What the Chinese Communist Party is doing reveals a regime that lacks self-awareness and projects its own weakness and callousness onto others,” “This regime clearly has no plans to change its ways. Strength and action are the only things left for the Chinese Communist Party to understand.”
Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) told a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing Friday (March 19) to discuss the Indo-Pacific strategy that sharp criticism of the Chinese Communist Party is not racism, but a policy issue, a foreign policy issue. “There are moral differences between the U.S. and Chinese (Communist) governments,” he said, “and frankly, the moral superiority of the Western way, the Western approach to open liberal and democratic societies, versus the closed communist police state, the Chinese Communist Party. I don’t think that’s a racist statement, it’s a statement about the challenges we face, it’s about taking a sober look at the problem.”

Secretary of State John Blinken will travel to the Belgian capital of Brussels March 22-25 for a meeting of NATO foreign ministers to engage with European Union leaders and meet with Belgian officials, the State Department announced Friday (19). The State Department said Blinken will consult with EU partners, including the Chinese Communist Party and Russia, on how to address a range of challenges shared by the United States and Europe.
For their part, CCP Politburo member Yang Jiechi and Foreign Minister Wang Yi gave interviews to official CCP media after the talks. Yang Jiechi said the two sides had a frank and constructive exchange and that the dialogue was useful, but that significant differences remain between the two sides on a number of issues.
Pompeo: Biden’s Cabinet Will End Up Accommodating CCP, Especially Dangerous to U.S.
During the two-day talks between the Biden administration and the Chinese Communist Party in Alaska on March 18-19, former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned on Newsmax television that “the Chinese Communist Party is ill-intentioned and the United States has to be tough” and “the reality is that talking to them (the Chinese Communist Party) doesn’t make much sense. The reality is that talking to them (the Chinese Communist Party) doesn’t mean much” and “they will try to delay and extract their own benefits (from the United States).
Pompeo said the new secretary of state, Antony Blinken, may talk tough and express concern publicly, but will ultimately accommodate the Communist Party’s terms rather than represent the interests of the American people. He said, “Make no mistake: the Chinese Communist Party believes that the United States is in decline and they are on the rise, and they intend to take full advantage of that.”
He argued that “all the (U.S.) government needs to do is get tough, have to demand that the Chinese Communist Party pay the price when they misbehave, and make sure that American freedom and security are at the forefront of all policy elements with China.” “The Chinese Communist Party has not withdrawn its fist. If the Biden administration drops its guard and the CCP achieves its goal of becoming a world leader” “so that they can shape the direction of the globe to their benefit” “When I say they, I mean their party, the Communist Party, not the Chinese people. “
Pompeo is concerned that under Biden’s weak policy, the United States will succumb to the Chinese Communist Party. He is concerned that Biden has repeatedly undone the policies of former President Trump. He said, “That’s particularly dangerous in the face of the Chinese Communist Party.”
Pompeo tweets “1327 days” as U.S.-China talks get underway
The first day of the U.S.-China talks was marked by a war of words on the 18th, with the Chinese Communist Party representative aggressively ignoring advance rules and speaking well past his time limit. 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.
In an interview with Newsmax News on Thursday, Pompeo warned 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 on 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 time of the U.S.-China talks is intriguing.
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.” He said whether it’s China (Communist Party of China) or Iran, or threats from terrorist groups around the world, they only recognize strength, and that’s what the Trump administration has done, “and that’s what we’ve worked on, in our four years, to make America safer and more prosperous.”
Pelosi hints at not supporting Democrats to fire Rep. Greene Reviewed by Wang Dukran

On March 19, U.S. House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California, hinted that she would not support a proposal by some Democrats, led by Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-California, to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, from Congress.
Some seventy House Democrats joined Gomez in signing the resolution, The Epoch Times compiled. However, an absolute two-thirds majority is needed to expel a member of Congress, and that means a significant number of Republicans would need to agree as well.
But Pelosi told reporters on Friday (19) about the push to expel Green, “I’m not going to talk about that.” And she implied that she did not support the resolution. “The legislators are very upset about some of the things that are happening here. They can express themselves in their own way. What Mr. Gomez is doing is just his own opinion, and that’s not the opinion of the leadership.”
In February, House Democrats and 11 Republicans voted to remove Greene from the House Budget, Education and Labor committees because of a number of social media posts she made while she was a private citizen in support of Anonymous Q and others.
In a statement sent to The Epoch Times, Green said Gomez’s resolution was an attempt to silence conservative views. It also noted that House Democrats are also leading an investigation into Republican Rep. Marianne Miller-Meeks of Iowa (also known as Iowa) and whether she actually won her seat in Congress. Miller-Meeks defeated Democrat Rita Hart by six votes.
California priest investigated for celebrating mass for Biden’s White House inauguration
Father O’Brien, who celebrated the Holy Mass for Joe Biden on his inauguration day, is being investigated on misconduct charges.
According to a statement from John Sobrato, president of the Santa Clara University Board of Trustees, the university’s board of trustees supports the Jesuit Western Province of the United States in its investigation of Father Rev. Kevin O’Brien for conduct (consisting primarily of dialogue) exhibited in an adult setting that may not be consistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries.
O’Brien is currently on leave of absence from his duties. Sobrato said he will work with independent investigators while O’Brien is on leave, and the results of the investigation will be communicated to the Santa Clara University Board of Trustees. O’Brien did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.
Retired teacher forced to remove Trump logo from yearbook awarded $325,000
Pictured is a “Make America Great Again” pro-Trump T-shirt.
The Wall Township, N.J., school district will pay $325,000 to Susan Parsons, a retired teacher who was forced by the district to make a computer edit to remove a Trump logo from a student’s shirt in the school yearbook, several U.S. media outlets reported Thursday, March 18.
Parsons was a yearbook adviser for the school district. She said she was approached by a high school principal’s secretary in 2017 and asked to remove the words “Trump Make America Great Again” from a student’s shirt in the school’s yearbook photo. She was told that it “had to be removed.” She reluctantly did so and made the student’s shirt look solid dark blue.
In her lawsuit, Parsons claims the Wall Township School District used her as a “scapegoat” (for Trump hatred) and created a hostile work environment for her, even leading to death threats. She had to conceal her political views after receiving hate mail and phone calls.
