“Is the reporter scary? If the reporter at the conference hall is scared, don’t talk about democracy! The United States has spoken twice. China also has the right to speak.”

On the 18th (local time), at the high-ranking conference hall of the US and China at the Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage, the United States, Yang Zetsu (71), chief executive of the CCP’s Central Foreign Operations Committee, spoke outright angry.
Just before, US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln and White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan made a second remark and asked the reporters to leave.
“The United States does not deserve a superior position in the presence of China. Twenty years ago, thirty years ago, the United States did not speak of status. It is because China did not fall for such a method. Do you mean that China still has less bitter taste in the West? Wasn’t it that the time that I was locked up in a foreign country was short? You can’t choke China.”

On the 18th and 19th, in Alaska, Joe Biden’s US and Xi Jinping’s China collided head-on. Soonchangseolgeom (脣槍舌劍), who used his lips as a spear and his tongue as a sword, continued to have no concessions for over nine hours. Yang Jietsu, who became a wolf warrior, stood at the forefront of the American beatings. 37 years ago, Deng Xiaoping praised Yang for being polite. It was at one time he who won the heart of George HW Bush, who later became President of the United States, on his trip to Tibet. In Anchorage, Yang Zetsu did not hesitate to fight with public criticism and ridicule at the US Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. His transformation symbolizes the transformation of China, armed with patrioticism and Chineseism, that will fight against the United States. This is a change as the Chinese leadership in the real world and in the online space, Chinese netizens, are taking back the pride of the past Chinese dynasty that China is the standard of the world.

Yangzetsu’s American criticism T-shirt sales

After the talks, the People’s Daily, the agency’s journalist, posted a picture on Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter) entitled’The Contrast of Two New Years’. This is because the unequal new construction treaty between China and the Western powers signed in 1901 and the US-China talks in Anchorage were all held in the new year. Chinese netizens cheered, saying,’The tiger sheep has come.’ Even T-shirts printed with Mr. Yang’s remarks that “this method does not work for Chinese people” began to be sold on online shopping.

‘Tiger Yang’ is the nickname of Yang Zetsu’s chief executive. It was built in 1977 by the 41st President George HW Bush (in office 1989-1993), who was then in charge of the Chinese Liaison Office in the United States. After a 16-day trip to Tibet under the training of a young Yangzetsu. There are two reasons. Yang is a tiger born in 1950. The letter tsu (篪·ji) at the end of the name was also made up of a tiger under a bamboo. Yang Jemen (楊潔勉, 70), a diplomat’s younger brother who was born in 51, contains a Chinese character that combines rabbit (兎) and strength (勉).

“Yangjetsu turned into Hushijin”

“Yang Jietsu has turned into Hu Shi-jin (a comprehensive edition of the Chinese nationalistic newspaper Huankou Times).” This is a spectator review by Wang Hao, a Taiwanese current affairs critic. Hudson Research Institute Senior Researcher Yumaochun, who served as an advisor to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, told Free Asia Broadcasting (RFA) “The war-ranging diplomacy that was at the lower level has spread to the highest level.” He pointed out that the image becomes more isolated and even the sympathizers disappear.”

Yang is a living witness of US-China diplomacy. Therefore, the transformation of Yang symbolizes the change in US-China relations.
Yang was born in 1950 in a slum in Huangpu District, Shanghai. His father was a party executive. Yang was brilliant. At the same time, Foreign Minister Chen Yi instructed Beijing and Shanghai to cultivate future diplomatic talents with special appearance. Future diplomats gathered one after another at the junior high school affiliated with the Shanghai Foreign Language Academy. Wang Gwang-ya (71), who became the son-in-law of the Foreign Minister Chun Yi, shared a bunk bed in the dormitory with Yang Zetsu. Ambassador to the US, Chui Tiankai (69), who is reaping a new term, is Yang Jietsu’s two-year junior here.
In early 1972, US President Richard Nixon visited China. US-China Detent has begun. Yang had become a factory worker in the frenzy of the Cultural Revolution. Soon, he was selected for the’Intensive Training Class for Departing Personnel Learning’. Wang Guangya, Chen Yi’s daughter Chun Shanshan (71, later Ambassador to Estonia), Mr. Yang Jietsu’s wife, Le Ai-Zhou (later honorary ambassador for poverty alleviation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China), Zhou Wen-zhong (76, later Boao Forum) The secretary) and others gathered. Zhou Enlai selected it, and Mao Zedong approved it.

The secret communication channel between the Bush family and Yang Zetsu

Yang Zetsu, who had a relationship with his father, Bush, started working at the US embassy in 1983. He has been in charge of secret liaisons with the Chinese leader and the Bush family ever since. When President Ronald Reagan visited China in 1984, he served as an interpreter for Deng Xiaoping. Deng praised him for being agile and polite.

In February 2001, he was appointed Ambassador of China to the United States. The Los Angeles Times said, “Which country could appoint a person who had a personal friendship with the Bush family for 25 years as the US ambassador? The United Kingdom, Japan, and Israel, allies of the United States, can’t do it either. But China did it,” he reported.
Ambassador Yang Zetsu’s first mission was the crash of US-China aircraft. In April 2001, a US type EP-3E reconnaissance plane collided with a Chinese fighter in the seas of the South China Sea. The U.S. plane made an emergency landing at the Chinese air base in Hainan Dao. All crew members were detained. Yang Jietsu went back and forth between the U.S. Department of State and Defense Department and the high ranks of the Chinese Communist Party. The crisis was quietly resolved. At the time, President George W. Bush defined US-China relations as’strategic rivals’. Yang Zetsu helped to avoid friction between the two countries by lowering it to an’interest correlator’.

In April 2007, Yang Jietsu was appointed the youngest Chinese foreign minister. At the 19th Party Congress in 2017, he was promoted to a member of the Political Bureau.

Yangzetsu are no longer the Yangzetsu of the past.

“The US side has repeatedly expressed that it maintains a single Chinese policy in the Taiwan issue.” It is the spoils of the Anchorage talks announced by China’s state-run Xinhua news agency on the 20th. Yang, who suffered a sharp clash with the United States, drew remarks from Minister Blincoln for’One China’. However, it is unclear whether his transformation will continue to benefit China. With the two major diplomatic leverage of persuasion and pressure, China is now heading towards the former. The appearance of’Anchorage Yangzetsu’ further impressed the negative image of China in the Biden administration, which is already demeaning to China’s approach. The price behind China’s pride gained through transformation is also expected to follow.
