The United States’ attempts to soften the tone on its relations with China have failed to impress the top Chinese envoy in Greece, who accused the Biden administration of pursuing a “crazy” strategy of trying to suppress the Asian superpower.
“Using geopolitics to suppress market principles might be effective for a while but not for long, nor will it last forever.”He said China’s value-system was based on getting to know themselves by their friends compared to the Americans knowing themselves by defining their enemies and weaponsising morality and values to punish “whoever does not obey”.
And in a nod to the setting of the international gathering, he invoked the words spoken 2500 years ago by the Greek philosopher Diogenes to Alexandre the Great. He added that any country whose GDP reached or exceeded even 6 per cent of the US should “be careful”.
