High-level strategic dialogue between China and the US is of great importance
At the five regular press conferences of the Foreign Ministry this week, the high-level strategic dialogue between China and the United States has become a “must question” for the spokesperson every day.
On March 17, Zhao Lijian said in response to the UN’s hope that the China-US dialogue. Achieve Positive Results: “The China-US High-Level Strategic Dialogue. It is the first high-level contact between China and the US after the first New Year’s Eve Call. It is also the first face-to-face meeting between China and the United States since the new American government took office. “
Introducing the importance of this dialogue, Zhao Lijian said that this dialogue will be of important guiding importance for the development of Sino-US relations in the future.
On the eve of the dialogue, the Chinese side released the United States in good faith and continued “making gangs” and “small movements.”
After the United States issued an invitation for a high-level strategic dialogue, China was invited to attend the appointment, demonstrating its goodwill and sincerity by resuming dialogue and exchanges between China and the United States and improving and developing relations. between China and the United States.
However, before and after the high-level strategic dialogue between China and the United States, the United States continued to make “small moves.”
On the 16th, the United States and Japan held a “2 + 2” meeting with their foreign ministers and defense ministers and issued a joint statement, maliciously attacking China’s foreign policy and seriously interfering in China’s internal affairs.
Just a day later, on the 17th, the United States announced that it would impose financial sanctions on Chinese officials, claiming it was an attempt by the United States to “retaliate” against China’s decision to improve Hong Kong’s electoral system.
In response to the malicious defamation of China in the joint statement by the United States and Japan, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian responded positively.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao LijianZhao Lijian: The joint statement by the United States and Japan ignores the historical perspective of the problem and ignores the facts and the truth. It is just another example of the shame and interference of the United States and Japan in China’s internal affairs and a bad example of China’s smear and discredit.
Chu Yin, an expert on international issues, believes:
The recent series of small moves by the US government related to China, such as drawing attention to Japan, the meeting of four nations with Japan, Australia and India, and the promotion of sanctions on the Hong Kong issue, are the continuation of part of China’s policy during the Trump administration. They are consistent in containing China.
Chu Yin said that Biden pays more attention to building allies than Trump, so he will pay more attention to the role of allies. Therefore, it will be even more linked to Japan and Australia. The Biden administration hopes to provoke an ideological cold war with China ideologically to the Hong Kong problem.
What signal did the China-US Strategic Dialogue emit? USA?
On the 18th, in Anchorage, Alaska, the dialogue between China and the United States officially opened, and the talks were once full of “gunpowder.”
The United States seriously ran out of time in its first opening remarks, accusing China of unreasonable attacks on China’s internal and external policies and sparking disputes.
China responded that this is not a form of hospitality for the United States, nor does it conform to diplomatic etiquette.
Regarding the confrontation in the dialogue, Chu Yin mentioned three points:
First of all, we are thinking that we are here to speak, and in fact you humiliate us in this way, so we must fight tit for tat immediately. The relationship between the great powers emphasizes reciprocity and equality.
Second, Americans engage in power diplomacy, but the power comparison between China and the United States is not what it used to be. The Americans do not have the power to play hegemony over China in this way.
The third reason is also very simple. The Americans want to take the lead in future Sino-American talks by taking the lead. We have to dispel the idea of the Americans, that is, make a frontal attack and severely defeat their hegemony.
In this dialogue, while tit for tat, there were also pragmatic discussions and profit. Xu Qinduo, a current affairs commentator on CCTV, said:
In the long term, as the strengths of China and the United States grow closer and closer, you need to understand each other’s strategy and bottom line to avoid errors in judgment. It can be said that this meeting put the end result on the table. At the same time, Xu Qinduo also pointed out that the two sides also touched on some substantive content during the talks, such as pragmatic discussions on a number of topics such as providing travel convenience for media staff, restoring visas, and staff exchanges. The two parties agreed to establish a climate change committee to carry out their work, which has been gratifying for both parties.
