The US-China relationship is undoubtedly a defining relationship for the rest of the world.

The real question here is, if Pompeo, Wang Yi and their radicalised, simplistic underlings should really be the people to handle this relationship of supreme importance.

Both, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US State Department have long left behind sensible diplomacy and instead have lowered themselves to a previously unthinkably primitive levels. The punks and huns, that both countries offer the world as "ambassadors", are also hardly suitable to foster good relationships.

Sometimes both, Wang Yi and Pompeo, remind me of Third Reich foreign minister Ribbentrop. It can't be, that either country's foreign ministers become among the most hated persons abroad. They must be Kissingers, Genschers, Shevardnadzes.

Whatever the feud at the top, both countries foreign affairs officials must be able to talk to each other face to face, without primitive insults lingering in the background.

Diplomats must never become an embarrassment to their own nation.

If both countries really want peace, they'd both have to retire their foreign ministers right now, along with a large number of their respective "diplomats", make substantial changes to their foreign policy and how it is carried out.
