  1. USA wants to talk to CHINA, easy. Do actions like these:
    1.Talk to LEE SHANG FU, MINISTER OF DEFENSE; CANSEL THE SACTION CHARGED BY USA TO MR. LEE
    2.TALK TO INDUSTRIAL MINISTER, CANCEL ALL TAX CHARGES N SANCTION TO CHINESE COMPANY N CHIPS SANCTION.
    3.TALK TO FOREIGN MINISTER:MAKE A CLEAR WRITEN STATEMENTS THAT WHAT USA SAY IS WHAT USA DOES.

  2. CCP won't waste time for this kind of meaningless "talk". USA's moves in East Asia has been watched closely.

  3. It is shocking many are in favor of starting WW3 without considering the grave consequences that millions and millions will die, including our love ones, suffer, become homeless, deprived of daily necessities and more. You will regret how war will inevitably destroy our lives whilst leaders enjoy their power of destruction! The war will definitely reach the US too, no matter where it starts. WAR IS A DEADLY GAME PLAYED EXCLUSIVELY BY LEADERS USING THEIR PEOPLE AS SACRIFICES TO SATISFY THEIR EGO! Do not destroy the Peace in Asia and the World! Many of you are young and have the right to more meangful lives than be victims of war.Please Pass this message to live our everyday lives peacefully.

  4. It's funny watching these libs trying to act serious and smart. You voted for Biden. This is the problem. You are the problem. WW III. inflation, retirement funds collapsing, open borders, Fentanyl.

  5. if us really want to talk, why doesn't biden requeset to come to china? if he asks, i am sure xi wouldn't say no.

  6. Bashing, antagonizing, and back stabbing China and the US wants to talk? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  7. This is dumbest thing in diplomacy. Canโ€™t even pass a message. What we need you for?

  8. China: Just leave me alone.
    US: You are my arch enemy, I am stilling going to ban Huawei and sell weapons to Taiwan but we need to talk…

  9. Fundamental value is way too different. Chinese citizens seeking asylum in the US and EU are dramatically increasing, every business and investment is at risk in a CCP controlled environment and business thief. As for the Chinese market, it's driven by CCP's political goal with calculated manipulation through Chinese social media and censorship, while its middle class is shrinking and many local governments are in debt after its own policy for 3 years.

  10. Hey guys, you can talk with me.

  11. China is always appreciated…."but"….is it serious?๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

  12. The damages done by the current US Regime are too many toward to the Chinese.
    It's difficult to make up with the scores however it's not impossible but certainly would take a long time to make up again! ๐Ÿ˜Š

  13. The US is the only country causing chaos in Asia. I hope the US just vanish from Asia and leave Asia in peace. Just please stop fear mongering nonsense about China. If the US want war, then start your civil war 2.0 and leave the entire wolrd in peace. God bless America!

  14. Stop calling China "the enemy", and perhaps then they'll pick up the phone

  15. If the us hates china and want to contain them why do they want to talk?

  16. Remove your dirty hands from Chinese rebel province Taiwan is one of conditions to resume talk with China
    Otherwise you are welcome

  17. The US Is doing a tactical move on China. Wanting to 'reset' whatever but in fact, all it really wants to do is… Borrow some money. July is near.

  18. Would you want to talk to someone whom you know would do nothing but accuse you on all kinds of things, often without offering any evidence whatsoever? Someone who thinks he is the boss of you? Someone who is clearly hostile? Someone who tells you how to tend to your backyard? Someone who sends warships and submarines to encircle you at your doorsteps?

  19. U.S. continues to sell arms to Taiwan, and send troops they describe as trainers there as well, ignoring China's protest. And they wonder why China isn't interested in sitting down with them.

  20. ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜

  21. Champions of shameless….

  22. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT STILL BELIEVE CHINA CAN BE TRUSTED IN TALKS? A DOUBLE TALKER WILL ALWAYS BE A DOUBLE TALKER

  23. US gave a cold shoulder to Chinese ambassador in US for 2 years.
    It's time China takes reciprocal action to US.

  24. Donโ€™t need to talk, American in recession . ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

  25. Why ? American governments anti-China

  26. Yes! You need to open lines of communication with China if you are going to need to ask China to buy your debt again.

  27. Wasting time
    Say one thing but do another

  28. Can't communicate with A hole. All they do is f ___/s___t.

  29. The Hegemonic US has lost its sincerity in the eyes of the Chinese a long time ago

  30. US: I was going to stab you three times๏ผŒBut Now I only stabbed you once. I'm being sincere.
    China๏ผšAm I supposed to say thank you๏ผŸ

  31. If Nick Burns wants to argue, he can always argue w air.

  32. The ambassador has not been very diplomatic in the past.

  33. A US Ambassador to China, who currently resides and works in China, has ZERO acess to the Chinese government senior leadership for a simple fact-to-face meeting… Instead, thie US ambasaddor to China goes back to American media and newspapers to call for Chinese leadership to grant him a chance for communication?? What a shame!

  34. India: We just talk with China and Russia face to face!

  35. Beg for big talk??? 2months ago this old man said "we(US) still leader for all Asia Pasific", now even Blinken boy & Yellen being reject. This man just a ambassador( helping US citizen in China)?๐Ÿ™„
