I think they’re ignoring the US. They have obviously concluded that the US can’t hold up its end of any intelligent form of conversation.
So why bother? Talking to belligerent idiots is not exactly fun. Anything the USA says is simply a lie and they will not do what they say…
Maybe: Back off Huawei, tiktok, and tons of trash talking all the time and stop lying about China and Covid and maybe you’ll get an answer? Maybe not the answer they want, but an answer…
But, belligerent is the USA way to all…
