China's foreign minister says Indo-Pacific strategy should be dumped

The appropriate response from the west would be that the Chinese Communist Party should be dumped into the trash heap and the Chinese people freed to speak their minds and chose their own leaders in free competitive elections.

Time to stand up against China before its too late.

It seems they got it the wrong way round, it is the other countries in the Indo-Pacific that are under constant threat from the Chinese military invasion of their territories. Interesting how China pretending to be a victim while building over 100 ICBM silos!!!

The US decided 50 years ago to help China become a strong, modern country. What no one wants is for China to become an aggressive bully. Xi is interested first and foremost in power.

"China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Saturday the Indo-Pacific strategy led by the United States is aimed at countering Beijing in a group and claimed the strategy "should be dumped at a trash heap.""

The CCP should be dumped at a trash heap.

Does China really believe other nations want to make it easy for China to rule the world? Why trash a strategy that stopped the USSR and in all likelihood will also curtail China's ambitions to dominate everyone, one country at a time.

China needs to find a new narrative as playing the hard done by victim of bullies, is playing to an empty room.

"should be dumped at a trash heap."

Communists should all be dumped in a trash heap.

The US, Japan and allies are right to stand up to Communist China with QUAD - the NATO of Asia.

"Today's China is no longer the same country of 100 years ago."

Yes, we know it isn't. We know it was a kitten and was over fed and has grown to a big tiger that is threatening eating everyone.

Wang wang seems to have forgotten that the countries he is accusing are responsible for making China the monster that it is.

Boycott the china winter olympics.

Here's a novel idea: how about China respecting its neighbors territorial waters, intellectual property, and stop contaminating its consumer exports with toxic materials,,,,?

China could gain respect by giving respect.

Your comment would make totally sense if not written by an ultra right winger nationalist.

As communism from China represent a threat Japanese Oyoku and Nippon Kaigi are equally something to be worried.

Why all communists? Just China you mean. You sound like you’re from the 1950’s.

That strategy may not work with China because they don’t spend that much on military, % of gdp, despite recent increases. This imo helped caused the Soviet collapse. The US spends quite a lot. Instead of military spending, China puts money into investments and development. Africa has high speed railway built by China. China has 40,000 km of HSR. Instead of nuclear warheads, it’s a better to build infrastructure in developing countries providing loans at interest rates lower than that of IMF and Workd Bank without political strings attached. The term debt diplomacy was coined before China’s rise for those who are going to chime in on this.

"Today's China is no longer the same country of 100 years ago."

Or thirty years ago. After Tiananmen, it was supposed to have gone the Soviet’s way and the US would take China under its wings of freedom, only it never happened despite the US offering MFN and WTO.

9/11 and fifteen years of Iraq and Afghanistan, all of a sudden they’re on the world stage. Credit China with helping Asia through the global financial crisis. This is a government that takes swift action and knows what it’s doing. It is the opposite of Japan which is a bunch of meetings with results of let’s wait and see.

Economists at the outbreak predicted covid would cripple the Chinese economy, but the numbers are now higher than pre-covid. They’ve also imported more from the US. They’re buying Africa and beginning to outsource because the cost of labor is going up. We have not seen a similar superpower since the British empire.

Regarding Japan's decision to release treated radioactive water into the sea from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant announced in April, Wang urged Tokyo not to discharge the water without the consent of neighboring countries and international organizations.

Does Japan require China's permission?

With all the toxic pollution China delivers in their pursuit of world dominance,

which nation or organization do they ask permission from to do this?

China never asked anyone for permission to drop a bioweapon/virus,

that has robbed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from millions,

do they have any right at all, to make demands of others?

Chinese Communist Party - Est 1921. Members 90,590,000 (2018). Poses a threat to the nations of the Indo-Pacific region and the entire world.

Nippon Kaigi - Est 1997. Members 40,000. Poses no threat to anybody but drive around Japan loudly in black trucks that annoy everybody.

China today under the CCP is an entire country of 1.4 billion that is entirely ultra right-wing nationalist. Best get a prespective on the scale.

China needs to be dumped.

Boycott their crap products. It's the only way to smash the evil dictatorship.

China's government is a brutal regime that in all high likelihood oversaw the gain-of-function research that resulted in the COVID virus, which it then negligently (if not deliberately) released into the world.

That is still false, without any evidence to support it and quite some evidence that proves it false, exactly the opposite of the natural origin explanation that is simply hugely more likely. Trying to make people to focus precisely in the part of the pandemic that can be proved false works very nicely for the CCP, because it makes them seem innocent also from all the other problems they caused.

Same old broken record playing in Beijing. Comments like his and the policies and actions accompanying them are the cause of the policy he so objects to!

The capitalistic west has lost any "national" identity or pride. Every giant corporations has pretty much succumb to Chinese threats of not being granted access to Chinese juicy market. Since these corporations and their lobby are the ones who run western government, China is free to do whatever they want.

Right, the country is very different, so is the world. But the nature of Chinese rule hasn't changed much compared to the many centuries before 1912, the end of the Qing Dynasty. Just as oppressive under bad emperors; obsequious and piteous when weak, conceited and aggressive when strong, much more so than other empires in world history. That behavioral pattern has been baked into the national character. Now it is in its strong phase, so its demeanor is aptly describable by the proverb 吐氣揚眉, literally, to puff and slant the eyes upwards.

Agreed, but the US has the wrong administration to handle complex foreign policy.

Feel sorry for the Chinese people, the North Korean people, and even the Russian people who all have basically no say or choice in who their leaders are.

Many analysts are of the informed opinion that China spends about 50% or so more on defense than they make public. Their public figures represent a defense spending growth rate that is greater than their GDP growth rate and their public documents show a 6.8% increase just for this year. Their public defense budget is the second highest in the world but as I said probably greatly understates what they actually spend.

Take a stand now. Say NO to the Chicoms.

The numbers out of China are to be taken with flavoring but I don't think they'll go south like the Soviets did. The self-implosion was from 1966-1976. If that didn't do it, I don't see it happening with continued trade and development, but you never know in a country where hysteria can easily ignite.
