China says a “strong smell of gunpowder and drama” resulted from talks with top American diplomats in Alaska. The remarks from the Foreign Ministry in Beijing continue the contentious tone of the first face-to-face meetings under the Biden administration.

FILE - In this Feb. 24, 2020, file photo, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian speaks during a daily briefing at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Beijing. China said Friday, March 19, 2021, a “strong smell of gunpowder and drama” resulted from talks with top American diplomats in Alaska, continuing the contentious tone of the first face-to-face meetings under the Biden administration.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, speaking in Beijing, said American officials at the Alaska meetings had provoked Chinese officials into making a “solemn response” after U.S. officials made “groundless attacks” against Chinese foreign and domestic policies. “It was the U.S. side that ... provoked the dispute in the first place, so the two sides had a strong smell of gunpowder and drama from the beginning in the opening remarks. It was not the original intention of the Chinese side,” Zhao told reporters at a daily briefing.

China is responsible for rohingya genocide. China ask myanmar military to clear Kyauk Phyu area to open trading ports.

Is that smell good? 😂😂 Continue smelling.

They think they can use trump era tactics lolololol you aren’t going anywhere with trying to bully Biden 😂😂

Lol. .we already smell gun powder and get shot because you support myanmar tatmadaw terrorists. ShameonyouCCPChina

BretBaier Is this drama made for public consumption or the first steps in a Biden Odministration/CCP divorce? My money is on the former.

I like that phrase “strong smell of gunpowder and drama”

BretBaier So no more telling the world how wonderful Xi is? Guess it is a new administration.

BretBaier I believe, honestly, that the Atlanta Asia women murders were Donald J Trump motivatied with Donald J Trumps divisive, hate and rage filled dishonest racist rhetoric on behalf of the Republican party and especially his white supremacist murderous mob supporters

CHINA cannot be trusted to honestly ethically uphold trade agreements. They are self-serving + quite underhanded. Do not honor TRADEMARKS. Use sub-standard materials to make cheap goods, made by overworked + underpaid workers. They Sell to USA far more than they Buy from us.

China projecting their fear just like Russia.

More proof that Biden and his administration are horribly unqualified in leading the US on a world stage.

Commies

If only we had some sort of leverage with China...ohh I don't know.. bringing back the 100s of billions $ in production and jobs that is sent to them every year...wouldn't that be nice.. Damn we're stupid..we are financing our future enemy. But I get it, CEOs need their bonuses.

BretBaier 2 egg rolls n poke flies lice

' Strong smell of gunpowder & drama ' is, as a matter of fact, frustration of loosing ground vis a vis China on economic front !!!

Imagine getting anal swabbed for this

And who’s troops were shining lasers at the cockpit of US aircraft in the African nation of Djibouti.

Well this is going well. These two countries need to cut a deal.

Just a heads up US embassies got attacked by a weapon that was scrambling the brains of the embassy workers guess which countries newspapers were bragging about having just such a weapon ? you guessed it

You know u don’t lite a fire near gunpowder

It’s amazing that the CCP can totally dominate the nation of China and it’s people but doesn’t seem to be able to crush the drug supply coming out of Wuhan . Wuhan where have I heard that before maybe that’s the airport that was left open during a pandemic

Yes he is right we have way to much of gun powder to wipe anyone anytime on the planet , so watch out CCP

So the CCP smells something burning? Maybe it’s all the crystal math that they’re flooding our country with or maybe it’s the tons of fentanyl

BretBaier Ok, so Biden’s admin has totally neutered this country in just two short months. Good job dems. By the way I know have created a biz to teach folks to be able to use chop sticks.

Biden🇺🇸did speak in his administration first days, about the importance of 'diplomacy' but his actions are inTOTAL contradiction with the basic elements of RESPECT among🌍🌎🌏countries in need to be present in international relations withFOREIGN governments as: China🇨🇳&🇷🇺Russia.

More like smell of bullshit

Smells like gunpowder and drama?Sounds like a cologne.

Gunpowder crack is just a tad witty until you wonder if they can actually smell gunpowder through the required masks the world wears due to... Wuhan, China?

China has a strong smell of genocide

fakenews hoax

So the whole trade war thing was ok, then?

Only gunpowder and drama?

Biden trying to come out strong will end up looking extremely weak as the Russians and Chinese call his bluff and he eventually folds

wait, China invented gunpower I saw that in a movie called 'The Great Wall' which is like a historical documentary

Idk if it has to do with the shitty translation but the threats from China and North Korea always sound so 'flowery'. I don't believe the translation is literally 'strong smell of gunpowder and drama' sounds like google transated this lol.

Senile Biden is gonna start World War 3

Brace yourselves. It’s coming!

The Chinese are about to smell the smoke of victory Cigars the Americans are going to be smoking once they are dealt a lesson of respect and diplomacy.

yeesh, sleepy joe is going to get our troops absolutely rekt

Hahaha both Russia and China became used to dealing with Trumps far more pliant administration.

They are dealing with a REAL American President now.

But wait, the Republicans told everyone that Biden was soft on China. Now they are going to bitch that Biden is trying to start a war.

This passive aggression will not stand, man.
