China criticized a speech by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken focused on relations between the world’s top two economic powers, saying the U.S. was seeking to smear Beijing's reputation.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin responded that the U.S. was “essentially spreading disinformation” and “smearing China’s domestic and foreign policy.”

“The U.S. always places its domestic law above international law and follows international rules selectively," Wang said. “Beijing’s vision would move us away from the universal values that have sustained so much of the world’s progress over the past 75 years,” Blinken said. It has upped its threats against the self-governing island republic of Taiwan and expanded its military presence in the South China Sea, while sending Foreign Minister Wang Yi on a mission to the South Pacific with a sweeping security proposal that, even if only partially realized, could give China a presence much nearer to Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand, and on the doorstep of the strategic American territory of Guam.

China strategy is about rules-based order, not 'new Cold War,' Blinken saysThe United States is not trying to block China from growing its economy, but will work to compel the country to stick to international rules, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Agreed if the international rules are set up internationally, not those set up by U.S. or the West. They do not represent the World. International US rules? like stealing oil from iranian tankers on the sea? thats called piracy and has nothing to do with international rules! Oh, does he mean China is free to engage in state piracy too? What if China doesn't have that Anglo Saxon gene?
