Pentagon Chief Unable to Talk to Chinese Military Leaders Despite Repeated Attempts

Now that the deterrence of the Trump Administration is gone China is on the march. China has zero respect for the weak Biden Administration. Don’t be surprised if China attempts to devour Taiwan sometime after the 2022 Winter Olympics. Most especially if they believe that the Biden Administration is going to lose to President Trump or Governor DeSantis in 2024. Very scary times.

Pentagon Chief Unable to Talk to Chinese Military Leaders Despite Repeated Attempts

Joe Biden’s administration has suffered another humiliation on the world stage.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has attempted to speak with China’s top general numerous times and has been “unable” to set up any talks, Reuters reported.

China has ramped up military operations in the South China Sea and it appears they are not making any effort to even speak to the U.S. about it.

“Relations between China and the United States have grown increasingly tense, with the world’s two largest economies clashing over everything from Taiwan and China’s human rights record to its military activity in the South China Sea,” Reuters continued.

“Despite the tensions and heated rhetoric, U.S. military officials have long sought to have open lines of communication with their Chinese counterparts to be able to mitigate potential flare-ups or deal with any accidents,” the report added.

“The military relationship is strained, no question about that. It’s hard to know how much this is reflective of that strain as much as it is just Chinese intransigence,” a U.S. defense official said.

A Beijing-backed think tank based in Hong Kong said there’s a major risk of military conflict between China and the U.S. over Taiwan.

“The China Cross-Strait Academy released a report on Wednesday on relations across the narrow stretch of water that separates mainland China from Taiwan,” the report said.

“It said researchers had looked at factors including the two sides’ military strength, trade relations, public opinion, political events and support from allies, concluding that they were ‘on the brink of war,’” the report continued.

Many would agree that it does not seem coincidental that there have not been high-level military talks since Biden took office in January.

If this is the way China is going to treat the Biden Administration and its various officials we are in a world of trouble.

It started back in March when Chinese Politburo member Yang Jiechi was with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan in Alaska.
