INTERVIEW - GORDON CHANG - China expert, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Gatestone Institute and you can find him on Twitter at @GordonGChang - discussed the first U.S. - China meeting during the Biden admin this week.

FIRST U.S. - CHINA MEETING

China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi and State Councilor Wang Yi meets with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Thursday and Friday in Anchorage, Alaska. 

Trump Says He ‘Would Never’ Meet China in Anchorage Like Biden Officials Are Doing. 

“The fact that Joe Biden is having his team meet in Anchorage and not in Washington shows that he’s already trying to be deferential to the Chinese,” Trump advisor Jason Miller said.  

CHINA MOCKS AMERICA'S 'DOMESTIC STABILITY,' CLAIMS CHINESE PEOPLE WIDELY SUPPORT COMMUNIST PARTY... CNN: US and China trade barbs after Blinken warns of need to respect global order or face a 'more violent world'

A first face-to-face meeting between US and Chinese officials got off to a heated start in Anchorage, Alaska, on Thursday as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement that the Biden administration would bring up "deep concerns" about some of China's actions around the world was met with immediate pushback from Chinese counterparts, sparking an unusually public exchange of diplomatic barbs.

China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi pushed back, warning the US against meddling in China's "internal affairs," contesting the US right to speak for other countries, charging that the US is the "champion" of cyber attacks, mocking US domestic stability and challenging America's own record on human rights.

"We believe that it is important for the United States to change its own image, and to stop advancing its own democracy in the rest of the world," Yang said, in extended opening remarks. "Many people within the United States actually have little confidence in the democracy of the United States," Yang said. "According to opinion polls, the leaders of China have the wide support of the Chinese people."

China Rebukes Biden’s Foreign Policy Team; Cites ‘Black Lives Matter’ on U.S. Human Rights Abuses

Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi rebuked U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan during a meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, on Thursday, citing the Black Lives Matter movement on U.S. human rights abuses.

The summit was the first bilateral meeting between the two countries under President Joe Biden, who has traditionally been soft on Beijing, and has struggled to balance a desire to break with Trump’s tough policies with the need for a strong stance.

Ahead of the meeting, the White House boasted that it had successfully insisted that the summit happen on home soil. Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki also promised earlier Thursday that the U.S. would bring up concerns about human rights in China.

INTERVIEW - JOHN MATTHEWS - WMAL News Director on the passing of Andy Ockershausen, longtime WMAL General Manager and DC media icon.  

WMAL Broadcast Legend Andy Ockershausen Dead at 92

Andrew Martin Ockershausen, a longtime media executive whose career began in the golden days of radio and continued into the era of podcasting, died on Wednesday, March 17 in Annapolis, just days after his 92nd birthday.

Ockershausen, known to friends and associates as “Andy O.,” was born in 1929 and grew up in Northeast D.C. where he played quarterback for Eastern High School before beginning a lifelong career in broadcasting.

Ockershausen was hired into an entry-level position at WMAL radio in 1949, becoming the station’s general manager in 1960. Andy O. managed the station for more than 25 years at a time that it dominated Washington’s morning airwaves with the broadcast team of Frank Harden and Jackson Weaver. While at WMAL Ockershausen handpicked the broadcast team of Sonny Jurgensen, Sam Huff, and Frank Herzog – a trio so popular that Redskins fans would often mute their televisions and listen to the popular radio broadcast.

A life-long Washingtonian Andy O. had deep ties in D.C.’s business and civic communities and was a familiar presence at civic and sporting events, charity fundraisers and on Washington’s cocktail circuit. During his time at WMAL, he spearheaded a fundraising effort, which raised more than $7 million for Washington’s Children’s Hospital. He was also actively involved with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, the Salvation Army and the D.C. Police Boys and Girls Club.
