This is called criticism. Distinct from diplomacy.

Distinct from diplomacy.

The Chinese leadership should have figured out by now that the US doesn't do diplomacy. More open criticism seems to indicate that they not only have concluded this but are revealing it in their words.

Regarding Russia, the US and NATO rejected diplomacy when they reject the Russian demand for security guarantees or else a military-technical approach would ensure.

The Chinese leadership is not there yet but it is approaching, as evidence by the recent white paper rejecting US "hegemony" i.e., you do as we say or we destablize you. Hegemony is a rejection of diplomacy.

The US may use diplomatic language - which is no guarantee of actual diplomacy.
