[Klaralven]

Talks between the U.S. and China got off to a rough start on Thursday, with both sides chiding and reprimanding each other in an unusual public display of tensions.

The meeting in Anchorage, Alaska was the first high-level meeting between the two countries under the administration of President Joe Biden, and came after more than two years of rocky relations between the two countries.

What was initially meant to be a four-minute photo shoot ended up lasting more than an hour as both sides traded barbs on issues from U.S.-China relations to concerns from Washington’s allies. Reporters were told not to leave as both sides wanted to add their rebuttals.

Leading the U.S. delegation were Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security advisor Jake Sullivan. Chinese Foreign Minister and State Councilor Wang Yi and Yang Jiechi, director of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission of the Chinese Communist Party, led the Chinese delegation.

Here are some excerpts and highlights from the meeting:

4. they are committing genocide

against the Uighurs.

[Klaralven]

5. How many Uighurs have they killed?

[Dan]

6. It may be a valid Moral reason.

But how far should the U.S. be willing to go?

We have our own history that we have not come to terms with -as far as genocide (or attempted genocide).


I think what I am trying to say, we have no moral high ground. But I recognize that we probably should try to take a Stand. The question is - how, and what price should we be willing to pay?

[dalton99a]

7. And their constant bullying against militarily weaker neighbors

China under its current leadership is not a peace-loving nation

3. But Faux News said Biden was in China's pocket. I don't understand??? LOL
