The American spoke, because he was the one sitting at the table eating. Blinken talks about "tables and menus," and if you're not sitting at the table, then you're on the menu. The meaning is obvious, other countries are either along with the United States, or they are eaten by the United States and other countries.
Netizens said that the United States owes so much debt and dares to be so arrogant, because the United States is crazy, don't forget, this debt is calculated in dollars, and when people repay their debts, they also use dollars to pay off, as soon as the money printing machine is turned on, your debts will be paid off, it's that simple.
The United States and Western countries have always had a good ride and eat in all directions, and they have also taken a fancy to a country that was originally poor, despised and the most populous, and decided to open its economy to the world and adopt Western technology. A country where Western business and methods are in line with the world. The United States was friendly at first. Attracting them is China's cheap labor and potentially huge market, as well as the possibility that Chinese will become "more like us" as wealth increases.
But what the United States and Western countries did not expect was that China developed so fast beyond the odds, and slowly revised its direction and began to refuse Western-style reforms. Because the Chinese know that the place that the United States and Western countries yearn for is not a paradise but also a canteen, and sooner or later the United States and Western countries will open their bloody mouths to our country. Launching what they call "democratic" plunder.
