United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on China to stop “aggressive actions” in the Indo-Pacific region as Washington looks to shore up alliances against Beijing.

Blinken made the comments in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Tuesday as he began his tour of Southeast Asia.

Talking about Washington’s Indo-Pacific strategy, Blinken said that the US would work with allies and partners to “defend the rules-based order” and that countries should have the right to “choose their own path.”

“That’s why there is so much concern — from northeast Asia to Southeast Asia, and from the Mekong River to the Pacific Islands — about Beijing’s aggressive actions,” he said during his address at the University of Indonesia.

Well if he was a good commie instead of a beta loser, it would say “the seas will run red with yellow blood and we will make your grandchildren pay. If you have any.”.

He will say “come on man. I thought we were friends. You need to pay me more.”

Antony Blinken is so effective? Watch him stamp his feet and have hissy fits!

As president Trump would say:

"LIGHTWEIGHT!"

An honest person in the Biden administration would be frustrated and disgusted by the fact the China can walk all over us because Biden is compromised.

So you have to figure that he has surrounded himself by people that are either anti-American ideologues or bought off as well.

Biden is collaborative, not “compromised”.

All of whom Biden surrounds himself with are hacks from the Obama administration. No such thing as an “honest person” there.
