Beijing is challenging European security and values, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman says European nations need to join forces with the US to help it face the growing challenge to the existing world order posed by China, US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman told journalists via a video link on Thursday. Countering Beijing’s influence is important for preserving, what she called, the European way of life, the official claimed. Earlier, Washington called China the only nation that has both the will and ability to reshape the world order and threaten Western nations’ “shared vision” of the future. Sherman now says China was a threat to Western values long before it supposedly aligned itself with Russia, which currently dominates the headlines in the West due to Moscow’s ongoing military operation in Ukraine. “Even before President Xi [Jinping] and President [Vladimir] Putin declared their ‘no limits’ partnership in February, the PRC [People’s Republic of China] has challenged Europe’s security, Europe’s economy and Europe’s values,” Sherman told journalists in Washington, DC While Beijing may be thousands of miles away... the PRC’s actions matter just as much for the future of Europe,” she said, adding that Washington does not seek a new cold war with Beijing. While the US does not plan to “sever [its] economy from the PRC,” Washington cannot simply “rely on Beijing to change its behavior,” Sherman continued, while calling on European nations to align their approaches with Washington, primarily on issues such as supply chains. Her words come one week after Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, “China is the only country with both the intent to reshape the international order – and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military and technological power to do it.” Blinken warned that Beijing’s idea of the future “would move us away from the universal values that have sustained so much of the world’s progress over the past 75 years,” adding that US President Joe Biden “believes this decade will be decisive” in the standoff between Washington and Beijing. He also said the US seeks to “shape the strategic environment around Beijing to advance our vision for an open and inclusive international system.” America has been rallying support among Pacific nations and Western allies amid heightened tensions with China, which have been on the rise due to issues surrounding Taiwan. China considers the island nation to be part of its sovereign territory under the One-China policy. The nation of 23.5 million people, which has been self-governed since 1949, never formally declared independence from China. Officials in the US, which maintains strong unofficial ties with Taipei and sells weapons to Taiwan, have repeatedly claimed Beijing is closely monitoring the Russian military operation in Ukraine, with a view to potentially launching a similar offensive against Taiwan. Chinese officials have said they would prefer a peaceful ‘reunification’, but have also warned Washington not to underestimate the ‘resolve’ of the Chinese people in case of a conflict. USA always looking for enemies, peace no dey inside their dictionary - OP

NNtv:In international politics and systems, the unipolar world order is the distribution of power in which only one state or country dominates the economic, social, cultural, and military influence over the globe The opposite is multipolar |

Indian foreign minister reminded Europeans that their problems are not the problems of the whole world. The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was charged with buying Russian oil, to which he replied: “We do not send anyone to dig Russian oil. We are simply looking for the best deal on the market. I wouldn't mix it with politics." “It is time for Europe to abandon the attitude: “My problems are the problems of the whole world, and the problems of the whole world are not my problems. If you are in trouble, then you are in trouble, and if I am in trouble, then we are in trouble,” the Foreign Minister also said |

If it’s possible for USA to move the whole of Europe towards North America, they won’t hesitate to do it. |

RichProminent:What is China’s move? The US is just scared of the rapidly growing China’s economic and influential power. I don’t think anyone can stop them. They have the will, the technology and the resource to do that. |
| Re: US Wants Europeans To Join Standoff Against China by plaindealer: 12:48pm On Jun 04, 2022 |
Teaser4:Well, most of your news are sourceless and when you show source, they are mostly RT News or similar Russia leaning News outlets, even captions from social media so it's hard sometimes to take you seriously. RT is strictly a propaganda rubbish that reject and ignore upfront. |

God1000:dumbest comment I have ever seen Do you even know the meaning of Unipolar World How is one country dominating the World, and trying to bring down other countries who are doing better than them economic or military wise a good thing ? China has never invaded any country , hasn't threatened any country on Earth with sanctions , doesn't try to tell other countries how to conduct their affairs, but USA jealous of China's growing economy and military, is trying to rally her allies to bring down China and you think it's a good thing? |

Ah…just as I thought. After foisting the Russia Ukraine mess which the world is still reeling from, the US wants to stir another conflict with China and drag EU into the mess? Don’t these fools understand peace is the most underrated and yet most valuable commodity in this highly interconnected world? Can’t these fools see the ripple effects of their poorly thought out sanctions on Russia? Anyways, the west (USA in particular) needs more conflict so they can sell more weapons under the hypocritical cover of “defending democracy” Don’t be fooled… Just mentioned something similar on another thread; OkCornel: |
