    Worshipping in the Church of the Self-inflicted Wound

The meeting between the U.S. and the Chinese in Alaska was not warm and an interesting theme developed from the Chinese.

After US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, referred to rising global concern over Beijing’s human rights record, China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi said: “We hope that United States will do better on human rights. The fact is that there are many problems within the United States regarding human rights, which is admitted by the US itself,” he said in a 15-minute speech that appeared to irritate Blinken.

He added that US human rights issues were “deep-seated … they did not just emerge over the past four years, such as Black Lives Matter”.

So the Chinese refer to a communist anti-American organization--working as a fifth column in the United States with apparent press and government approval--as evidence for dissatisfaction in America. A homicidal dictatorship is lecturing the United States on human rights using their own agent as examples of American opinion.

And it is taught that fiction requires the willing suspension of disbelief.
