Biden Govt warns Xi Jinping of 'Disastrous' conflict; Asks China to join 'Essential Talks'

The U.S. has warned China of a 'devastating' Taiwan conflict amid rising tensions. U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has said an armed conflict over Taiwan would be disastrous, urging China to retain the status quo towards the island. Austin also blasted Beijing for declining to hold talks with the United States. The warning comes after China rejected the U.S. talks offer between Lloyd Austin and Li Shangfu on the sidelines of the annual Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. It seems that China is preparing for an all-out conflict with the U.S. On June 1, Chinese President Xi Jinping told top security chiefs in Beijing to prepare for ''dangerous storms.'' For now, there seems to be no end to the tensions between China and the U.S.

Dialogue may be a necessity for the US, that doesn't make it a Necessity for China.

USA: ”How dare you not answer my calls!? I’m the mighty hegemon and I will come with my army to make you bow down to my will.”
China: ”Whatever. You are welcome to try.”
USA: Cries alone when nobody is watching

Austin should have said that to Blinken - “you should not have cancelled your appointment with the Chinese just because of a balloon.”

US talking of peace is difficult to comprehend 😊

[vasihussein]

Once India & China border dispute is settled, the US would have no say in Asia Pacific. I hope this dispute is settled for world peace & prosperity.

[manankshettri]

Usa cant handle both Russia & china at the same time, So the bad guy just try to threaten china & china know very well about that

[jessebynum]

Brown says 'for responsible defense leaders' the 'right time to talk is anytime', yet when Russia wanted to talk about Ukraine in the months leading up to Feb-22 the US ignored Russia's pleas for dialogue.

[beautifulworld]

Nobody care US anymore...Even Bangladeshi PM ignore US proposal

Really hope the BRICS countries act in unison against the US and put them in their place until the US behaves like normal countries do.
