Blinken Lays out Washington’s Anti-China Agenda

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has laid out US policy toward the People’s Republic of China – a manifesto upholding Washington’s vow to prevent China from surpassing the US.

However, China is a nation with a population several times the size of the US (and the G7 combined) and is making the transition from developing to a developed nation – surpassing the US is inevitable. Only through subversion and conflict can the US even attempt to prevent this – and that is precisely what the US government including the State Department has been doing and is announcing it will continue doing.
