China Shall Not Give 'Arrogant' Ambassador Burns Courtesies: Times

China needs not to give the incoming U.S. Ambassador to China Nicolas Burns any other courtesies except diplomatic etiquette, given his "toughest and most arrogant" confirmation hearing statements toward China in the Senate on Wednesday, the Global Times said. Burns will inevitably suffer from setbacks after he comes to China, and the U.S. lacks the means to pressure China to submit, the state-run newspaper said. Burns's systematic attack on China, including criticizing its Xinjiang and Hong Kong policies and willingness to sell more arms to Taiwan, demonstrated the U.S. political elites' overall hostility toward China, the Times said. However, Burns's statements seemed hollow as he didn't suggest new moves for the U.S. to deal with China, said the newspaper.
