China Staking Out its Policy


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzhZGUfaZhI



Liu Xin, CGTN news anchor rips Fox News coverage of the US-China trade war, and places US policy in a historical context viewed from the Chinese perspective. The thing that is remarkable about this editorial presentation by a Chinese government media group is the uncompromising and critical approach Liu Xin takes which is really uncharacteristic for her. This program is intended for English speaking audiences and that is typically consciously reflected in its temperate and diplomatic approach to issues. This places the trade dispute in an unfavorable historical light in which US-Chinese relations are prospectively to be viewed. The departure from the friendlier relationship between China and the US that began in 1972, is now being officially acknowledged on the Chinese side, and they are accepting the challenge to their sovereignty in historical terms which make accepting overbearing US terms unlikely.
