{“We may be mistaken, but we think in Europe today, everybody – government, public opinion, academics – are today convinced that China is changing, and you are telling us today that it is not the case. That is a perception issue that we need to tackle …. you are all entitled to your views but please do understand that in Europe people are convinced that China is changing its diplomacy,” Chapuis said.}

China has been CHANGING since the late Qing Dynasty. However, the undead white imperialists of the West have not changed one bit in their mentality and expect China to react to their provocations with despair and resignation as the Qing China did.

{Chapuis said he saw evidence of this change when China’s top diplomat, Yang Jiechi, clashed with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a high-level meeting in Alaska in March.}

What does this nutcase expect? Blind-ken wanted to deal with China "from a position of strength"-- note, NOT "from a position of equality"-- and this nutcase expects China to deal with the white West "from a position of weakness"-- just like the Qing did??!!

{“I am very sorry to see that China does not give any credit to the EU in bringing the US back to the path of engagement. Why? Because China has decided to not reset the relationship with the US.}

If Mr Chapiss had observed the political developments in the past decade at all, he should have noticed that murrika had decided to "reset" the US-China relations to a state of hostility since the days of President Obananas! Dumbo Trump and Bid-en have chosen to intensify the confrontation-- despite President Xi's initial restraint, and offer, to reverse the situation.

{“The Anchorage meeting in March 2021 is for me, a very significant signal and very disappointing … The government rejected the return to engagement,” he said.

“So what does China want? What is the objective, the purpose of China today in foreign relations?}

China's signal has been very clear-- It only accepts an engagement based on Equality. This is something that the undead white imperialists do not want to accept.

{It’s clearly not the same purpose as 10 years ago, it is different. We are sometimes at a loss to understand exactly what China wants.”}

Ask Charles de Gaulle! He should be able to explain to Mr Chapiss what China really wants!

The white West is still full of undead white racists who believe that they possess God-given superiority simply because they are white:

{But what of the philosophies of the Western combatants during the Asia-Pacific War? The Western imperial presence – of conquest and subjugation – within Asia was buttressed on a diligently maintained myth of white superiority, a philosophy every bit as repugnant as that maintained by Imperial Japan.}

{It was known by several aliases – “The White Man’s Burden,” the “Civilizing Mission” or “Manifest Destiny.” But the principles were always the same: the right to rule on the basis of white skin.}!
