– Western countries, led by the United States, have launched an all-encompassing attempt to contain and suppress China. Which has led to challenges we have never experienced before in the country’s development. Xi Jinping told the state news agency Xinhua. The statement from the Chinese president is an expression of Beijing’s growing frustration with the United States’ China policy. It is rare for Xi to sharply criticize a single country as he is now doing to the United States. China’s supreme leader made the statement in a panel discussion on the sidelines of the National People’s Congress on Monday. Several media in China, including the Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning Post, were quick to reproduce the quote from Xinhua. That the official and strictly state-controlled news agency publishes Xi’s statements indicates that China’s top leadership wants Xi’s criticism of the United States to be known. Who can whisper in Xi’s ear? Warns against “McCarthyism” Earlier on Tuesday, China’s new foreign minister Qin Gan also issued clear warnings to the United States. Qin Gang, who before becoming foreign minister was China’s ambassador to the United States, warned against what he called “McCarthyism” in American politics. Qin refers to the new leader of the Congress in the United States, Kevin McCarthy from the Republican Party. China believes the Republicans are pushing the US in a more anti-China direction. According to Foreign Minister Qin Gan, it will lead to conflict and confrontation if the US does not change its attitude towards the country. Arms dispute The backdrop is that the US has warned China against sending arms to Russia. Good relations between Beijing and Moscow are crucial in an unstable world, China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang told a press conference at China’s 14th National People’s Congress on Tuesday. – The more unstable the world becomes, the more crucial it is for China and Russia to regularly promote their relations, said Foreign Minister Qin Gang. The People’s Congress opened: The military is this year’s budget winner in China Regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he said China is not a party, and that they have not supplied weapons to either side. – We always make our own assessments. Between war and peace, we have chosen peace, he said. Foreign Minister Qin Gang reads from China’s constitution. The constitution states that Taiwan is part of China.

Qin also criticized the US’s handling of the balloon incident, which he claims created a diplomatic crisis and which he believes could have been avoided.
