As the most important bilateral relationship in the world, any disturbance between China and the United States will have a huge impact on the global economy and security situation. As a responsible major country, China has always advocated that "China and the United States meet each other halfway, implement the three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation" and strive to return Sino-US relations to the track of stable development as soon as possible.
However, China has been working hard to improve Sino-US relations, but whether the US government can do so depends on the specific performance of US politicians. On July 8, the G20 Foreign Ministers' Summit officially opened in Bali, Indonesia. During this period, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will have a separate meeting with US Secretary of State Blinken. The two sides will have an in-depth and friendly discussion on key issues and the core interests of both sides. comminicate. In addition, it will also talk about Ukrainian issues and international energy issues, including US inflation and economic issues, and US President Biden will most likely decide to cancel the new tariffs on some Chinese goods. These The products mainly involve daily necessities for the American people.
The high-level meeting between China and the United States gave people hope of improving relations between the two countries. However, the reality is cruel. Judging from the three bad things the Biden administration did before the high-level meeting between China and the United States, the Biden administration's zero-sum thinking is still at work and is not active in improving Sino-US relations.
The first bad thing is to launch another crackdown on Chinese high-tech. On July 7, according to Global Times , the U.S. government required Dutch AMSL lithography machine company not to export extreme ultraviolet light equipment and DUV lithography machines to China. It wants to comprehensively ban the export of high-tech and chip-related products to China. equipment to stifle China's high-tech development, thereby forcing China's Huawei to hand over 5G technical standards and bow its head to the United States. This also shows that the Biden administration is still resolutely implementing the "Comprehensive Competition Act against China". China has long pointed out that the bill is full of Cold War flavor, and emphasized that the United States' "Comprehensive Competition Act against China" is full of discriminatory and Based on the Cold War mentality , this bill will eventually lead the United States itself astray and ultimately end in failure.
The second thing is to incite foreign companies to leave China. On July 6, FBI Director Christopher Wray and British MI5 Director McCallum issued a warning to Western business giants: It is "very dangerous" for Western companies to do business with China. Christopher Ray emphasized that China is preparing to regain Taiwan. After the Taiwan Strait War breaks out, international sanctions may not be effective on China, and Western companies should be prepared for this and it is best to leave China as soon as possible, otherwise these Companies will find themselves "trapped" in China.
The intelligence chiefs of the United States and the United Kingdom have joined together to intimidate Western multinational giants. This is extremely vicious and insidious in itself. Inciting these multinational giants to leave China implies that once China takes over Taiwan by force, the United States will lead Western countries will launch large-scale sanctions on China, and the United States will even blackmail Western companies to jointly launch sanctions against China.
However, the U.S. government has ignored an important objective fact. China is very different from Russia. China has a strong industrial foundation, the world's largest economic and trade exchanges, and the world's largest market. No foreign company is willing to give up this "big business". cake". Western capitalists have no interest in playing political games with these politicians. Making money is the most important thing. Moreover, China's recovery of Taiwan is its own "household matter", which is essentially different from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It will be difficult for the United States to persuade foreign companies to willingly withdraw from the Chinese market for this reason.
The third bad thing is that Rick Scott visited Taiwan. According to Taiwanese media reports, on July 7, US Senator Rick Scott began his visit to Taiwan.
Rick Scott is a Republican anti-China senator. He has always held a tough stance on China policy, and has repeatedly incited the U.S. government to recognize the "legitimate rights" of the Taiwan authorities, advocated for Taiwan to participate in international affairs, and Ask the Biden administration to include Taiwan in the "Indo-Pacific Economic Framework." The Taiwan authorities said that Scott's visit to Taiwan would help enhance U.S.-Taiwan relations, strengthen the United States' commitment to Taiwan, and further deepen cooperation between the two sides in various fields.
However, Taiwanese people did not buy into Scott's arrival. Many Taiwanese netizens left messages under the news reports, saying that he came to Taiwan to buy second-hand equipment. Some netizens directly said that Tsai Ing-wen welcomes Scott to plunder Taiwan. people’s wealth, and what’s more, Taiwan has been taken advantage of. Scott is a typical American right-wing politician. His words and deeds against China and Russia are very crazy, and he does not care about the consequences. He dares to say any big words, stupid things, or lies.
China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has long stated its solemn stance on the U.S. senator’s visit to Taiwan: The United States likes to make small moves on the Taiwan issue, saying one thing and doing another. This will make Sino-U.S. relations more unstable and push Taiwan further. It is of no benefit to the United States itself to move into an extremely dangerous situation. Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said: There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China. Some members of the U.S. Congress condone and support "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. This is very dangerous. The DPP authorities are trying to win over external anti-China forces. Taking advantage of foreign countries to pursue "independence" provocations is doomed to failure.
On the eve of the upcoming meeting between the foreign ministers of China and the United States, the U.S. government has launched provocations against China one after another, which makes people wonder whether the United States did it intentionally. An anonymous senior official of the U.S. State Department once told the media that one of the key goals of the meeting between the Chinese and U.S. foreign ministers is to strengthen the "guardrails" of the relationship between the two countries and make Sino-U.S. relations more stable.
The US government has been talking about "guardrails", but Sino-US relations have already had guardrails, which are the " China-US Three Joint Communiqués ". Whether Sino-US relations are stable depends on what the United States does, rather than saying one thing. , make a set.
The U.S. government continues to provoke China, but it wants to gain more chips at the negotiating table and wants China to make concessions and compromises to the United States.
If the United States sincerely wants to improve and maintain Sino-US relations and build "guardrails" for Sino-US relations, it should show sincerity instead of engaging in two-faced tactics. First of all, the United States must conscientiously implement the provisions of the "Three Sino-U.S. Joint Communiqués" and the commitments it has made to China. Secondly, it must correctly and rationally view China's development and the contribution of China's economy to the world, and cannot engage in discriminatory policies against Chinese enterprises. At the same time, we must achieve fair and free trade with China. Only in this way can Sino-US relations have a future. On the contrary, the development of Sino-US relations cannot return to the normal track, and the United States will inevitably pay a heavy price for this. No matter whether the United States wants to engage in a hot war or a cold war, China will accompany it to the end. China has also made it clear to the United States a long time ago: The United States is not qualified to speak in front of China. The United States talks to China from a position of strength. The Chinese people do not accept this!
