By Chun Han Wong Close Chun Han Wong Oct. 23, 2020 5:15 am ET HONG KONG—Chinese leader Xi Jinping delivered a speech brimming with nationalistic triumph to commemorate his country’s entry into the Korean War, in a thinly veiled display of defiance against perceived bullying by the U.S.
The speech marked China’s latest rhetorical thrust in fraying ties with the U.S. that have deteriorated to their worst level in decades. Wide-ranging discord over trade, technology, global influence and U.S. support for the island democracy of Taiwan has ravaged relations between the world’s two largest economies while fueling criticism of Mr. Xi’s aggressive style among some members of the Beijing elite.
China’s Communist Party has long celebrated the Korean War as a seminal moment in entrenching its revolutionary victory in the face of Western imperialist intervention. The Friday ceremony was China’s highest-profile commemoration of the Korean War since 2000, the last time a Chinese leader marked the occasion with a major memorial address. More recently, Mr. Xi, as China’s vice president and leader-in-waiting, delivered a speech in 2010 to mark the 60th anniversary of Chinese involvement in the conflict.
Rather than criticize the U.S. directly, Mr. Xi took aim at unilateralism, protectionism and arrogant, hegemonic behavior—labels that Beijing has repeatedly pinned on President Trump’s policies toward China. Mr. Xi also appeared to warn against U.S. attempts to pressure Beijing through closer cooperation with Taiwan, which the Communist Party claims as its territory and has pledged to assimilate, by force if necessary.
Someone should ask him how Battle of Chosin Reservoir work out for them
Why hasn't war been declared on China for their act of war purposely releasing Covid on world to defeat Trump and install their puppet president Biden
News flash: you lost that war poo bear
Why do they still have masks? Isn't it over in china?
Xi expresses with eagle talons right hand move. There's a lot that can be said and interpreted by Xi's hand symbol. First, Xi may be having problems digesting the bat he had for lunch. Also, Chinee news reported Xi had bat soup and bat salad aaannndddd a bat's penis for dessert.
Does Xi sense his moment, or is the more aggressive posture just the dog at the end of his leash?
Not the right time to do that as the whole world is still mad about Wuhan virus as many have passed away and others suffering in other forms. China stop making the world upset continuously from every direction in 2020.
Congress, large corporations and Wall Street are all indifferent to the suffering of the American people during this pandemic and financial crisis.
Xi Jingping is a funny guy He literally wants to try the USA Good luck dude All we have to do is pull every single company out of China and starve them back to Maoxiaotong ‘s era, where they barely had anything to eat 🤣😂😂
He has to do him.
Both inside and outside you say that you will make up if China stops moving forward. Are you tired? Let’s focus on your death toll. 200,000
China would be speaking Japanese right now if it weren’t for America saving their asses. Trump needs to cancel all debt owed to China. Then liquidate all their assets in America as payment for COVID. 👍🏽
It's the time now to stand against the rising power of China under Xi .... It would left us in regression and nothing after the Whole world would be alike the Europe during World Wars
This is 2020 for goodness sake. It isn't 1950s. China needs to progress towards a civilized and modern society and not going back where XiJinping is taking. He has destroyed 40 years of hard earned progress. Imagine Hu Yaopang had succeeded in reforming China.
StandAgainstJinping_SaveWorld
China will defeat US in Taiwan Strait like it did in Korea.
😭😭😭
