    The People's Republic of China is willfully terminating and reactivating channels of communication with the United States, defense officials warn.

    Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Ely Ratner told reporters at the Defense News Conference on Wednesday that the communist nation's military is intentionally disrupting its own lines with the U.S.

    "We have been brutally consistent — and Sec. [Lloyd] Austin has been consistent — in saying again and again the United States seeks open lines of communication with the [People’s Republic of China]," Ratner told journalists and other attendees.

    I mean... so what? That sounds more petty than anything else, and that tracks with the childish and insecure behavior (e.g., banning Winnie-the-Pooh) that we've long seen from the Xi regime.
