China News Service, Beijing, November 15 (Reporter Meng Xiangjun) On November 14, in Bali, Indonesia, President Xi Jinping met with US President Biden.
This is a face-to-face meeting that has been held for several firsts.
This is a strategic communication on major issues on the prospects for world peace and development.
This is an important opportunity for the leaders of China and the United States to adjust and communicate frankly for the most important bilateral relations in the world.
China News Network reporter invited the Executive Dean of the School of International Relations of Nanjing University Zhu Feng , Professor Swaran Singh of the School of International Relations of Nehru University, Wang Peng, Distinguished Researcher of the National Governance Research Institute of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Guan Zhaoyu, Deputy Secretary-General and Researcher of the Pacific Research Center of Beijing Foreign Studies University, to jointly decode the five keywords behind the meeting between China and US dollar heads.
[Keyword 1: Leadership]
2022 marks the 50th anniversary of US President Nixon's visit to China. From a historical perspective, the diplomacy of the head of state has always played an important strategic leading role in Sino-US relations. Zhu Feng, executive dean of the School of International Relations of Nanjing University, pointed out to China News Network reporters.

He said that the meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state occurred against the background of US House Speaker Pelosi 's visit to Taiwan and the new round of high-tech chip blockade on China. Whether China-US relations can overcome competition and conflict and return to a constructive development track is an unprecedented test of the wisdom, vision and mind of the leaders of the two countries. Judging from the results of the meeting, there should be no reason to be disappointed.
Swaran Singh, a professor at the School of International Relations at Nehru University in India, pointed out in an interview that China and the United States are the world's largest and second largest economy , are their trading partners, and are their leading countries in innovation and technology. The meeting between the heads of state and the relationship between the two countries are very important to themselves and the rest of the world.
He believes that both Chinese and American leaders understand the development trajectory of bilateral relations and the role they play in global and regional affairs. These roles can only work if there is a certain coordination between the two countries. It is a good sign that both parties are willing to build partnerships as much as possible in some areas and are taking action in certain areas.
[Keyword 2: Control]
During the meeting, both Chinese and US dollar leaders took "control of differences" as one of the key topics. President Xi stressed to Biden, "The situation facing China-US relations does not meet the fundamental interests of the two countries and the peoples, nor does it meet the expectations of the international community. As leaders of the two major powers of China and the United States, we must play a role in ruddering and direction, and we should find the right development direction for bilateral relations and promote the upward improvement of China-US relations."

Zhu Feng noticed that President Xi’s earnest words received a positive response from Biden. Biden stressed that competition should be controlled and competition and differences should be prevented from going to critical conflict.
Zhu Feng pointed out that since 2012, President Xi has proposed the concept of " new type of major power relations" that is not conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation. This not only expresses China's firm will to adhere to the path of peaceful development, but also demonstrates the broad "Chinese mind" of controlling disputes and conflicts between the two countries.
China and the United States have different systems, cultures, and ideologies and . These are all objective facts. The two countries need to recognize and respect differently. Only in this way can Sino-US relations be stable and develop healthily and upward. Controlling China-US differences is not only China's basic belief based on the construction of a "community with a shared future for mankind", but also the responsibility of the two countries to shoulder the common responsibility of the two peoples and all mankind. Without divergence control, Sino-US relations will not have a bright future, and the international community will not have a bright future either.
talks about the important issue of differences in Sino-US relations - the Taiwan issue. Singer pointed out that Biden has mentioned many times that the United States will "defend Taiwan", and whenever a U.S. official flees to Taiwan, the United States reiterates that the United States' position on Taiwan has "no change."
He further analyzed that during the meeting between the Chinese and US dollar heads, the United States reiterated the "one China" policy. The United States understands that once it does not support the "one China" policy, it will trigger tensions. The meeting was held after Pelosi's outbreak in Taiwan caused tensions in Sino-US relations, which is of great significance and will promote the development of more bilateral talks between China and the United States.
[Keyword 3: New meaning]
Deputy Secretary-General and researcher Guan Zhaoyu of the Pacific Research Center of Beijing Foreign Studies University noticed that the meeting between the Chinese and US dollar heads is the first offline meeting between the two sides in more than three years. The reason why the meeting lasted so long and covered so many topics was because both sides needed to give a comprehensive explanation and response to issues that concern all sectors of the two countries over the past few years. The areas of cooperation and common concerns that the two sides focus on this time are very broad.

Moreover, Guan Zhaoyu pointed out that some new statements appeared during the meeting, which means that both sides have some new views and have also formed some new consensus. In fact, this has set a new space for China and the United States to continue to deepen cooperation and dialogue in the future.
Judging from the meeting content announced by the two countries, the US expanded its previous "four nos and one unintentional" towards China to "five nos and four unintentional", which attracted the attention of Wang Peng, a special researcher at the National Governance Research Institute of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Wang Peng pointed out that based on the "four no" statement, the US has added some new expressions to China, such as not supporting "two Chinas" and "one China and one Taiwan". On the basis of "unintentional", there are added statements such as unintentional seeking to "decouple" from China, unintentional obstruction of China's economic development, and unintentional encirclement of China. This is enough to show that the meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state is of great significance to stabilizing China-US relations, promoting consensus among major powers, and promoting global governance.
On the other hand, Zhu Feng emphasized that the meeting between China and US dollar heads has formed an important consensus to start relevant teams to maintain regular communication and exchanges, and presented the vision and wisdom of the leaders of the two countries to the world. This not only brings bright colors to the current downturn in relations between the two countries, but also lays the main color for the "highlight moment" of Asian diplomacy at the G20 summit and APEC meeting .
Guan Zhaoyu noticed that China and the United States agreed to establish a working group for deeper communication and cooperation, covering all aspects of issues, which will become a fulcrum for communication and cooperation between China and the United States in the future.
[Keyword 4: Cooperation]
Zhu Feng pointed out that the governments and society of China and the United States must deeply realize that the success of China and the United States is an opportunity rather than a challenge for each other. Only by adhering to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation can the two countries jointly ensure that China-US relations move forward along the correct direction, without deviating, stalling, and even more so, not colliding.

Faced with a complex and sharp international situation, the common interests between China and the United States have not actually decreased, but have become more. Zhu Feng gave an example, saying that first of all, China and the United States do not conflict or confrontation, and live in peace, which is the most basic common interest of the two countries.
Secondly, maintaining interdependent, open and cooperative social, business and educational exchanges between each other, so that the people of the two countries can benefit from each other's development is also the common interests of China and the United States.
Third, responding to various global and regional issues is inseparable from the coordination and cooperation between China and the United States and the running-in and docking of China-US policies. China and the United States need to work together to curb conflicts and confrontations and enhance security and cooperation, which is the common interests of the two countries.
Singh pointed out that in terms of how to lead global issues such as climate change, energy and food security, both China and the United States understand that the premise is mutual cooperation and coordination, otherwise the relevant problems will not be resolved. During this meeting, we can see that the two sides showed a certain degree of mutual understanding.
[Keyword 5: Outlook]
Looking at the impact of this meeting on Asia-Pacific region and the world, Singh pointed out that in the past two decades, the Asia-Pacific region has been the force driving global economic growth, and most rapidly growing economies are in the region, including China, which is also the center of future growth.
At present, the whole world is indeed paying attention to this region. EU countries, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and a vote of countries have proposed the Asia-Pacific strategy, which shows that the world is becoming increasingly interested in participating in Asia-Pacific affairs.
Wang Peng pointed out that looking forward to the development of Sino-US relations after the meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state, there are nothing more than two paths and two possibilities.
The first type is that the United States truly does what it says, and does what it says, and does what it does. As long as the United States can achieve the "five nos and four unintentional" promised by the president, China-US relations will surely move forward steadily. Because China's commitments to the United States, such as not challenging the international order of and not seeking to confront the United States, are always trustworthy.
Another situation is that the United States "says one thing and does another", plays with double standards, plays with word games, and has different words and deeds. Or is it that Confucius said well, we must "listen to what he says and observe what he does." Whether these beautiful promises of the United States can be truly implemented and implemented in the future is the key. (End)
