Leveraging Corrupt Media, China Draws a Red Line for Biden Administration
2021-02-04
[Strategypage - Austin Bay] February 2021 reprises a red-line drama, not yet as tragedy and not as farce but definitely as a threat to world peace. The repetition tests the will of President Joe Biden's administration to defend American security and a common-sense understanding of human freedom.

On Feb. 1, communist China's top foreign policy guru, Yang Jiechi, gave a speech to a virtual audience hosted by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.
From Fred’s instructions to the moderators a few years ago:

Use only short excerpts from Jamestown and Strategy Page. They'll send me take down requests for long ones. I hadn't thought about it for Long War Journal (Bill and I are acquainted on friendly terms) but it would apply there, too. We're one of the raw intel streams to their finished product.

A pity because that opening paragraph is a humdinger. It’s worth adding them to the regular perusal.

#1  Message received since the US Military is apparently standing down for Mao-style self-criticsm sessions. This should leave a nice (mutually agreed upon?) window to deal with that pesky Taiwan issue.
