On that occasion, the team of Chinese diplomats meeting Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan accused America of gross human rights abuses, citing the far-left \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d movement. China is home to what is believed to be the world\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/national-security\/2018\/12\/01\/reuters-reveals-up-to-1200-muslim-gulags-built-in-china\/\">largest<\/a> concentration camp system and is currently engaging in <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2021\/03\/31\/blinken-uyghur-china-human-rights-report\/\">genocide<\/a> against several Muslim-majority ethnic groups, most prominently the Uyghur people of East Turkestan.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Blinken suggested that he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/03\/30\/following-alaska-fiasco-blinken-suggests-china-right-on-u-s-human-rights-record\/\">agreed<\/a> with the Chinese diplomats at the time regarding America\u2019s lack of moral authority in remarks following that meeting, telling reporters, \u201cwe know we have work to do at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to China\u2019s government-run Xinhua News Agency, Wang did not attack the United States for alleged racial injustices this weekend. Instead, Wang&nbsp;complained to Blinken that American support for the sovereign nation of Taiwan \u2013 which Beijing incorrectly claims as a province under its control \u2013 had caused \u201cserious harm\u201d internationally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe crux of the current situation across the Taiwan Strait is because the Taiwan authorities have repeatedly tried to break through the one-China framework,\u201d Wang reportedly <a href=\"http:\/\/en.people.cn\/n3\/2021\/1101\/c90000-9913701.html\">said<\/a>, \u201cand the United States\u2019 connivance and support for \u2018Taiwan independence\u2019 forces is also to blame.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe urge the United States to realize the serious harm of the \u2018Taiwan independence,\u2019 to pursue a real one-China policy, instead of a fake one, to fulfill its commitments to China faithfully rather than treacherously,\u201d Wang demanded. The United States does not formally recognize Taiwan as a country because maintaining diplomatic ties with the Chinese Communist Party requires it not to do so. The \u201cOne China policy\u201d states that only one China exists in the world, which Beijing asserts is itself and not the Republic of China (Taiwan\u2019s official name).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18548626\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"36\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2021\/11\/GettyImages-1236223612.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18548626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GettyImages-1236223612-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt width=\"990\" height=\"660\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>China\u2019s Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrives for the welcome ceremony on the first day of the Rome G20 summit, on October 30, 2021 in Rome, Italy.

State Department spokesman Ned Price wrote that Blinken \u201craised concerns\u201d about, among other issues, China\u2019s human rights atrocities in \u201cXinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong, the East and South China Seas, and Taiwan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xinhua reported that Blinken simply promised \u201cthe United States will continue to adhere to the one-China policy, and the two sides should develop bilateral relations in the spirit of mutual respect.\u201d It did not mention Xinjiang [East Turkestan] or any of the regions in which China is implementing ethnic cleansing policies, such as Tibet.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The State Department claimed that, rather than confront Wang on China\u2019s rogue state behavior, he \u201caffirmed the areas where our interests intersect and where we can work together\u201d and \u201cunderscored the importance of maintaining open lines of communication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chinese officials have escalated the aggressiveness of their rhetoric regarding Taiwan after remarks President Joe Biden made last month in which he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/10\/22\/backflip-white-house-contradicts-joe-bidens-promise-to-defend-taiwan\/\">stated<\/a> Washington has a \u201ccommitment\u201d to defend the island militarily from a Chinese invasion. Biden had previously compared America\u2019s military commitment to Taiwan to that of NATO countries, which the United States is treaty-bound to defend. No such treaty exists with Taiwan; the White House rapidly issued a statement last month walking back Biden\u2019s promise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is just too old to think clearly.
