I want to thank Emperor Xi, oops, sorry, I meant Chairman Xi for unmasking China's intentions for the world. Xi's unmistakable assault on human rights, the rights of various nations, and on the existing world trade order, has motivated the Republicans and Democrats in the United States to work together. That is no mean feat. They cannot even agree on the paint colors for the bathrooms on Capitol Hill. So, thanks Xi, you made our decision to oppose China very very easy.

We should not deal with ANY country that practices Hostage Diplomacy. China just threatened to imprison Americans, unless we release the Huawei executive who is accused of crimes. Sorry, our justice system is not to be controlled from Beijing. Any American tourist or businessman who goes to China is an absolute idiot. So, since we cannot go there, we should stop ALL tourism from China, and do it right now. BTW...I am a Progressive. I support Bernie Sanders.

That is a stupid comment. China is not the world. We accept more immigrants from all over the world than anyone. India, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand Myanmar, all immigrate here in large numbers. We just don't want the CCP controlled mainland Chinese.

Sanctions only work when the entire world is united in imposing them. They worked in getting rid of apartheid in South Africa, for instance. The sanctions were working on Iran, as long as the UN and the nations of the world remain united. Now that the UN has lifted them, the US would be stupid (not for the first time) if we continued with them. With Trump -- it is almost guaranteed that we WILL to do something stupid. Maybe even laughingly stupid.

There is NO legal basis for embassies and consulates. They only exist at the permission of the host country, usually in mutual agreement with the other country. The US needs no law or crime to be broken to close a consulate. Plus, the US breaks no law in closing a consulate. Same with China as they closed an American consulate. This will likely grow to Cold War 2. I see broad bi-partisan support for what is happening. When Trump is gone, which will be soon, the new Democratic administration will continue with same policies.

If you think there will be a profound change in American policy towards China, you are very very wrong. First, Biden is not a profound person. He will not make bold moves, IMO. Second, there is broad Democrat Party support for supporting our allies in the region -- Japan, Taiwan, SK, Philippines, and India. Third, our cooperation with Vietnam has grown, and will continue to grow. Fourth, US has supported India selling Brahmos missiles and other arms to the Indo-Pacific nations. Fifth, Progressive Democrats, much more than the "practical" Republicans are disturbed by China's policies in Hong Kong, genocide of the Uyghurs, threats to Taiwan, and the crazy claims of sovereignty over the South China Sea. China's policies have changed the US/China dispute from trade (where many Democrats may have opposed the trade war), to human rights, freedoms, and international law. So, China should not expect any help from the Biden administration. In fact, I expect Biden to be just as hard, maybe harder, on China.

Since India hates the US so much, we should stop accepting Indian immigrants who want high paying jobs.

CGTN is owned and operated by the CCP. It represents the CCP, and will always give the CCP line. They do what our government CANNOT do in China. In fact, no western news organization can operate or broadcast in China. NO foreign news is allowed in China. This is pure propaganda -- some truth, mixed with lies, to present an alternate reality for you to believe.

@Chinese080808 BS. Prove it.

CGTN is a voice of the CCP. However, on this, I have to agree. Cooperation between two states, one pariah, and the other fast becoming a pariah, makes sense, should be expected, and is not a real danger to others. It does raise some questions, though... 1. India & Iran relations were developing, with India to ship items to Iran for transport to Central Asia. Enabling India to bypass Pakistan. Does this mean that ends?? Or, has it already ended?? 2. Is China transferring its goals with Pakistan to Iran?? Is China dumping Pakistan?? 3. Is China going to build road/rail links with Iran across Afghanistan? Or, through Pakistan? For this to work, efficient road/rail connection between Iran & China is needed. Who is going to build this?? Basically, a public show if intent is nothing more than wishes, until the infrastructure is built. This bit of news is about as important as a fly on an elephant's ass.

India has told the west to leave it alone. So, we have left it alone. Now we are accused of ignoring it. Do you want our attention or not??? India's attitude is hypocrisy itself.

Good luck with that.

@satyam1543 No choice to do what? And to do whatever it is all by yourself, since India hates the US, and wants to do everything by itself? The video stated that the US is India's main enemy, not China, and that India can solve all its issues alone.

@surojeetchatterji9966 How do you know when a comment is from a bot? I can't tell.

@surojeetchatterji9966 Yeah, right.

This is a serious misreading of what is going on the US. 1. The Democrats, despite the contempt they hold for Trump, have NOT criticized Trump or Pompeo on their China policies. Not ONE Democrat in Congress has criticized these actions, AT ALL ! ! ! 2. The Democrats have supported ALL the weapons sales to Taiwan. 3. It was the Progressive Democrats that created NATO and the containment policy for the Cold War against the Soviet Union. It looks likely that Biden and the Progressive Democrats WILL support the creation of a NATO like Indo-Pacific defensive alliance to counter and contain China's expansionist ambitions. If so, this Progressive Democrat will support such a move.

It is NOT racism. Chinese from Taiwan or Singapore are welcome. But, since the CCP uses its own students as spies, and as operators to impose their policies and strategies in hosting countries, it is a matter of self defense and security. Stay home. Educate your own students. BTW...how much is CCP paying you to make this video??? What chapter of the CCP do you belong to? What is your rank in the PLA?? We know you're hooked in to the overall CCP government somehow.
1
@Chinese080808 It is the scale. China's scale of intellectual property theft is monumental. Also, just because spying is common, does not mean a country should meekly stand by and allow it. The CCP uses a high percentage of its young people as agents. So, ALL must be banned. Simple as that. The fact that the CCP is pissed, just proves it is true. Besides, we should do it because CCP has threatened the life and liberty of all American citizens in China. -- threatening hostage diplomacy.

If India is fully capable of resolving its issues with China -- why has it not done so? China has attacked it several times in recent years, killing many Indian soldiers. Seems Indian politicians are very willing to let Indian soldiers die so they can hate the United States.
1
India says it hates the US, and does not want our help in any way. Then they get upset when we don't help India. Of course, it is never specified how the US is supposed to help. If we do help India, we will be resented and condemned for helping India. India will always bash the US. Of course, they will still come here and get high paying jobs. But, they will still hate the US.

The lifting of the embargo says more about Trump's go-it-alone style, and inability to create consensus and coalitions. Hopefully, Biden will be able to do some healing of rifts Trump created with our allies. On important geopolitical issues in the world, it is critical, IMO, that the US and its allies speak with a common voice. US, EU, UK, Canada, India should speak with a common voice -- especially about China and Iran.
