The meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, marked the turning point in Chinese Diplomacy, from a non retaliatory and non reactive policy to one of mutual respect and reciprocal in nature. For decades since China return to the world stage as a super power, China continued to adopt a conciliatory and accommodating policy of not hitting back when attacked or wronged by hostile and aggressive countries. The USA and many western countries, including silly Asean countries did not appreciate the non aggressive Chinese policy and took it as a sign of weakness. Instead of accepting China's appeasement as a friendly gesture and reciprocate with lowering the temperature, they continue to attack and demonise China on a daily basis, even with hostile and aggressive acts.
The meeting in Alaska was the last straw on the camel's back. China went there hoping to start a new relatonship with the Americans under a new Biden regime, but prepared for the worse. And the Americans chose to show their animosity, to want to continue to bully China by their hostile interference with China's domestic affairs. China had to react with plan B, ie tit for tat, aggression for aggression. China was blunt and firm in hitting back at the Americans and not giving an inch to the Americans. The Americans had been bragging about being firm with the Chinese, after flirting with the Quad members and thinking they could put China under pressure, sanction Chinese officials on eve of the meeting as a show of force.
The Chinese hit back forcefully and stating in no uncertain terms, enough is enough. China would henceforth hit back at anything the Americans throw at them and at anyone that think they could take potshots at China. The EU's sanction on China the next day was returned with bigger sanctions against the EU members. China meant business and would treat everyone with equal respect and equal animosity, come what may.
China's Wolf Warrior Diplomacy is now in full view to the world. Deal with China as an equal and with mutual respect. Any country having wild ideas thinking they can still irritate China and wanting to pick a fight with China must be prepared to have their ass kicked by China. China has now given the Brits a big ass kick as well. This silly little has been country is still dreaming in high noon that China could be bullied.
China getting more assertive and aggressive? Wait till you see the real assertive and aggressive China in the days to come. You want respect from China you have to treat China with equal respect. You want to trade and do business with China, you are welcome. But not when you think you can muck around with China and doing silly things behind China's back, attacking China with white lies.
The world would now have to live with a more assertive and aggressive China or a more respectful China if treated with respect and sincerity. The evil and aggressive Americans and the West will have to rethink how they are going to be treated by, yes, a more aggressive and confident China. Period.
China today is self sufficient in almost everything, in science and technology. China can manufacture anything it needs. China has no reason to trade with hostile countries that regard China as enemy. China would decouple with the US if necessary and cut off trade with smaller countries if it needed.
Here comes aggressive China and the world has got to adjust and live with it, like it or not. Has China made its position clear? Have the enemies of China understood the new China?
