China’s top diplomat said that his nation and the US are heading towards conflict if Washington does not “hit the brake”.
His harsh language appeared to defy predictions that China might abandon its aggressive “wolf warrior” diplomacy in favor of more moderate rhetoric as the two countries face off over trade and technology, Taiwan, human rights, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Lu Shaye, the Chinese Ambassador to France, was also dubbed a wolf warrior diplomat. He was censured by the French Foreign Ministry for making “insults and threats” after he posted a series of tweets targeting French MPs in reaction to sanctions on China for its persecution of Uighurs Xinjiang.
Last year, President Biden banned imports from China’s Xinjiang region for fear that many goods there are the product of slave labour by persecuted Muslim minority groups. But more recently tensions have grown significantly worse with rows over Ukraine and spying. Nancy Pelosi with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen last summer at the Presidential Office in Taipei.
