US ‘rules-based intl order’ is ‘law of the jungle' to contain others: Chinese vice FM tells US envoy [Global Times]

If CPC Politburo member Yang Jieci served an appetizer at the Alaska Talks with Blinker, then Vice Foreign Minster Xie brought out the main dish at his meeting with the US Deputy Secretary of State in Tianjin. Taking off the velvet kids gloves, Xie didn't pull his punches. Telling it like it is or should be. 

Some of the sucker punches :

// The so-called "rules-based international order" put forward by the US is a disguise that packages rules set up by a few Western countries. It is the US version of the "law of the jungle" where it abandons the widely accepted international law and trample on the international system, so that it can profit and bully others.

The US-claimed "competition, cooperation, and confrontation" policies are nothing but cover-ups for exerting pressure on China.  

Confrontation and containment are the fundamentals, cooperation is for expedients, and competition is a trap of discourse. When the US needs China, cooperation is required; in areas where China has advantages, they cut off supply chains and impose sanctions. //

Before the meeting, US State Department floated the idea "guardrails" to prevent the Sino-American relations from veering out of control. This is the Yankee trick of putting a straitjacket on Beijing to restrain China from defending itself against American bullying and containment . It's such a dumb idea for the two centuries old upstart to think that it can outsmart and outplay a 5-millennia old Civilization State !ko
