Washington's ambassador to Beijing referred to China as a "threat" and "great challenge." He stated arrogantly, "The United States is staying in this region. We're the leader in this region", referring to the Indo-Pacific.

The ambassador, Nicholas Burns, insisted, "We're going to hold our own out here. And I feel optimistic - I'm just concluding my first year as ambassador - about the American position in this country [China] and in this region."

In an interview with the US Chamber of Commerce, Burns made very aggressive comments, going so far as to blame China for the coronavirus pandemic, claiming Beijing is not being "honest about what happened three years ago in Wuhan, with the origin of the Covid-19 crisis."

The ambassador simultaneously praised the "bipartisan support in the Congress between Republicans and Democrats for a really robust American policy to defend our interests out here in the Indo-Pacific, to compete with the Chinese."

Burns said all of this at a February 27 event organized by the Chamber of Commerce, the most powerful corporate lobby group in Washington.

The panel discussion, titled "American Leadership in an Age of Uncertainty", also featured the US ambassador to Israel, Thomas Nides, and the third in command of the State Department, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland.

Nuland is a hard-line neoconservative who was a key sponsor of a 2014 coup that overthrew Ukraine's democratically elected, geopolitically neutral President Viktor Yanukovych and installed a pro-Western regime, setting off the war that continues to this day.

This Chamber of Commerce event on "American leadership" came one day before the US Congress held the first hearing of its hawkish "Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party." The committee's chairman, Republican Congressmember Mike Gallagher, described Washington's new cold on Beijing in extreme terms: "This is not a polite tennis match. This is an existential struggle over what life will look like in the 21st century — and the most fundamental freedoms are at stake".

Victoria Nuland declares 'We're in the post-post-Cold War period'

As US ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns has taken a very hawkish tone.

In February, when the Chinese Foreign Ministry published a devastating report called "US Hegemony and Its Perils", documenting Washington's crimes around the world, Burns attacked it angrily as "crude propaganda" that is "unworthy of a great power."

Under former President George W. Bush, Burns served as US ambassador to NATO, as well as under secretary of state for political affairs, the third-most powerful position in the State Department.

He is a close ally of Victoria Nuland, the neoconservative under secretary of state for political affairs.

In the February 27 Chamber of Commerce vent, Burns heaped praise on Nuland, commenting on "what a pleasure it is to serve with people like Toria Nuland, who is one of my closest friends and closest partners in the US foreign service."

In her remarks on the panel, Nuland stated, "Obviously, we are now at the end of the post-Cold War period. We're in the post-post-Cold War period."

"So to me, unfortunately, it feels a lot like it did at the beginning of my career, that we have large powers contesting the rules of the road that favor freedom. They are doing it by threatening their neighbors, by coercing countries around the world", Nuland added.

"And therefore US leadership, which has always been essential, is even more essential", she said.

Nuland left the event earlier explaining, "I gotta run off and see Canadians and work on another hot problem, which is Haiti."

Nuland has been part of a group of Western hawks pushing for military intervention in Haiti. Canada has already deployed military planes and ships to the Caribbean nation, as Haitians warn of mission creep leading to a new Western occupation of their country.

US ambassador to Israel warns of Iran-Russia-China 'axis'

Also on the February 27 Chamber of Commerce panel was US Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides.

He denounced what he called a dangerous "axis" between Iran, Russia, and China.

Blasting Tehran for selling drones to Moscow, Nides warned, "If you think there's not an axis here between Iran and Russia, and God hopefully not China, it should be a wake-up call to all of us."

The US ambassador boasted that support for Israel remains bipartisan, despite the far-right extremist government in Israel, which includes representatives of a neo-fascist party and was compared to Nazi Germany by mainstream liberal newspaper Haaretz.

"We have an unbreakable bond with the state of Israel. Regardless of who the prime minister is, regardless of the situation on the ground, that is not going to change", he reaffirmed.

Nides fearmongered about Iran, saying he is collaborating closely with Israel, and "we're working on this day and night to make sure Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon."

The US ambassador expressed staunch support for the anti-government protests in Iran. Nides added, "We don't support regime change, I guess publicly anyway."
