[Lectura ampliada]Fu Gaoyi: America Should Affirm China’s “Good Deeds”
Reference News Network reported on December 21
On December 20 local time, Fu Gaoyi, a well-known American expert on China issues and professor emeritus at Harvard University, died at a hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the age of 90.
Fu Gaoyi holds a “Mr. China” degree from Harvard University and was the director of the Fairbank Center for East Asian Studies. He is fluent in Chinese and Japanese and has written “Deng Xiaoping Times” and “Japan’s New Middle Class”.
On December 1 this year, Fu Gaoyi also delivered a speech at the Beijing Xiangshan Forum video seminar, presenting thoughts and suggestions on the future development of Sino-US relations. We hereby compile and distribute the content of this speech in memory of:
The president of the United States, Trump, has caused the deterioration of relations between the United States and all countries, which embarrassed us and caused the United States to lose the trust of other countries. Trust these kinds of things, once lost, it is difficult to recover. Yet we know that the United States must resume our traditional role after World War II, cooperate with other countries, and let more professionals play more roles. It is extremely regrettable that Sino-US relations are currently at a low point, which is detrimental to both countries.
I believe that the improvement of the relations between China and the United States can start from three levels. The first is between high levels. Since I have been researching China issues, I have never seen Sino-US relations deteriorate so badly. I think there is a real opportunity against Biden. I suggest that the leaders of the two countries hold a meeting. After all, Biden has a good relationship with Chinese leaders. And as we all know, after taking office, candidates may not always keep their promises during elections. So I think Biden will strengthen ties with Chinese leaders. The second level where we have to work hard is the professional level, where more professionals handle political affairs. The last level is the work level, which is responsible for handling specific details between the two countries.
China and the United States should cooperate and discuss further to eliminate the real dangers currently facing China-United States relations. Many people are not aware of this degree of danger, such as the problem in Taiwan. Therefore, China and the United States must make more efforts in many areas. First, the United States should give more recognition to China’s constructive efforts in international affairs. China is the largest contributor to the UN peacekeepers. China has been effective in tackling domestic climate pollution and fighting global warming. The AIIB established by China is also a good example. The United States government has made mistakes in this regard. I think the United States should strengthen cooperation with the AIIB. We must also recognize China’s contribution to infrastructure development in Africa. The “One Belt, One Road” initiative also has highlights. In short, China has made many constructive efforts, and the United States should completely change its view of China. Although I know this is not easy, the United States should give constructive affirmation to the “good things” that China has done.
Trump was elected president because there are some fundamental problems in the United States. First, American society is currently undergoing a transition from an industrial to a service-oriented society, and industrial workers have a reduced sense of security. The United States has not tackled this problem well. The United States is now divided into the “Blue State” coastal field and the “Red State” inland field. In the “Red State”, the standard of living of many people has decreased compared to the past. Second, the United States has made progress in treating African American and women’s groups, and many white men are deeply dissatisfied with this, which is why they choose to support Trump. Third, the democratic system is sometimes chaotic and slow. In the next four years, we will have many discussions to better solve these fundamental problems.
I am cautiously optimistic about the next four years and hope that Biden can improve the relationship between the United States and other countries and become a better friend in the eyes of China, India, and other countries.

[Lectura ampliada]Fu Gaoyi warned Taiwan authorities to be careful: don’t just listen to the one-sided voice of the United States
Reference News Network reported on November 2 According to Singapore’s “Lianhe Zaobao” website, reported on November 1, two days remain until the day of the US presidential elections. In response to recent cross-strait tensions, Emeritus Professor Fu Gaoyi of Harvard University in the United States said Beijing is becoming increasingly impatient with the Taiwanese authorities. He cannot leave the problem to the next generation to solve, asking the leader of the Taiwanese authorities, Tsai Ing-wen: “Be very careful!”
According to the report, Fu Gaoyi made the above remarks in an exclusive interview with Taiwan’s “Foresight” magazine and urged the authorities in Tsai Ing-wen not only to listen to the unilateral voices of the United States, but also to listen to the entire information released by Beijing at the same time, carefully interpret its meaning and respond cautiously. .
Fu Gaoyi believes that the past record of US President Trump is too poor. If he loses the election, I don’t know what he will do. Therefore, we must be cautious with the window of power that the president of the United States will transfer from November 3 to January 20 of next year. Period, because it will be a very dangerous time.
Fu Gaoyi noted that while the current Trump administration frequently displays its so-called “goodwill” toward the Taiwanese authorities, whoever becomes US president after the elections will readjust so-called “US-Taiwan relations” based on American interests.
