The South China Sea exercise of the navies of the United States, Japan, the Philippines and Australia
During this period of time, the storms that the United States is setting off against China are hitting one after another!

From April 24 to 26, Blinken will visit China for the second time. Before his visit to China, the United States made so many moves, in fact, it was to build momentum for Blinken's visit to China, create bargaining chips out of thin air, put pressure on China, deter countries around the world, and maintain its image as a world hegemon. The United States is asking for food with a knife, and Blinken is the rhythm of soft rice and hard eating.
Blinken arrives in Shanghai
However, we in China are not accustomed to them, and this time! US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited China twice last year and this year, and the standard of reception is getting lower and lower! He arrived in Shanghai on 24 June with no red carpet and arrived in Beijing on 25 May with no red carpet. At the same time, these days, China is also fighting back against the United States on all fronts.

North Korea's official news agency said that on the afternoon of April 19, a test of the power of a super-large warhead of a strategic cruise missile and a test launch of a new anti-aircraft missile were conducted in the West Sea of North Korea. On April 23, it was reported that North Korea carried out a ballistic missile launch on the 22nd. Kim Jong-un, the supreme leader of the DPRK, instructed the rocket artillery units to conduct a simulated nuclear counterattack exercise on the spot and expressed satisfaction with the results.
North Korea test-fired a missile
China announced military cooperation with Cuba and provided a large amount of food aid to Cuba;
China recently announced sanctions against two U.S. military companies involved in arms sales to Taiwan.
The Ministry of Defense of the mainland warned the United States by name that conniving at and supporting "Taiwan independence" will inevitably lead to burn itself and reap the bitter consequences.
Recently, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) released its first submarine-themed promotional film "Hidden in the Deep Sea", revealing for the first time the shocking scene of the high-definition giant wave 2/3 submarine-launched missile launch. For the first time, the Shandong aircraft carrier squadron also made public its complete formation, which includes surface ships, submarines, and air wings.
China expresses its firm opposition and strong condemnation of the US plan to kick relevant Chinese-funded banks out of the SWIFT system, and reiterates that "China's right to carry out normal economic and trade exchanges with Russia cannot be infringed upon"! China will take all necessary measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
As for the U.S. side, it was directly instigated, and the White House official once again told the U.S. media that the U.S. has no plans to impose sanctions on Chinese banks in the short term, and hopes to avoid such actions through diplomatic means. After Blinken arrived in Shanghai, he recorded a video on the Bund, and his tone was polite and his body was soft, which once again stunned countries around the world.
Why did Blinken record a video in China's most prosperous metropolis, behind it is the Oriental Pearl. Isn't this a slap in the face of the United States, because China's domestic demand is insufficient, and China's economy is not working? The Project 156 "Zibo" 052D destroyer moored in Shanghai almost became the background of Blinken's video. When a Chinese child was visiting, he opened his mouth and asked: Can the head (hanging hair) be loaded with a nuclear bomb?
And this time Blinken was particularly intimidating, saying that it is important to meet people, avoid misunderstandings and misperceptions, and find ways to improve, even if there are very big differences between the two sides. These words really don't quite sound like the mouth of the US Secretary of State.
Coincidentally, UBS suddenly released a report on the 24th, believing that China's real estate will bottom out this year and return to the historical average market by June next year, and is optimistic about China's real estate. This report is a shocking sight, because UBS was the first to issue a sell order to Evergrande that year. As everyone knows, UBS is an investment bank controlled by the United States, and it listens to the US government more than Goldman Sachs.
We can understand that this is a "show of goodwill" by the United States in showing goodwill to China, and of course it is also directly admitting its cowardice. The Democratic Party in the United States is not doing well in the current election, and according to a Bloomberg poll, Trump leads Biden in six of the seven swing states. And Russian President Putin is also about to visit China, and the Russian army is likely to start a large-scale reversal in Ukraine, so the United States is starting to be anxious and urgently needs to stabilize China.
It is still the classic saying of the teacher back then, that the US imperialists are very arrogant, and they must be unreasonable wherever they can be unreasonable. If you make a little sense, you have to do it.
