According to media reports, after expressing their hopes to ease relations with China and planning to send Secretary of State Blinken to visit China, and releasing the news that they hope to negotiate with Russia, the Biden administration's attitude has changed recently. They simply stopped pretending and planned to impose new sanctions on China and Russia at the same time.
According to Bloomberg, the part of sanctions against Russia will focus more on Moscow purchasing weapons for combat against Ukraine from countries such as Iran, especially attack military drone , while sanctions against China are mainly concentrated in the fishery field, which accused Chinese fishermen of "illegal fishing" in the Pacific waters.
In response to this situation, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning recently responded at a press conference. She said that China is opposing illegal interference in other countries under any excuses. The United States has neither the right to sanction other countries nor the right to play the role of the world police.
Mao Ning also emphasized that China has always been a responsible fishing country and has often cooperated with the international community to jointly combat illegal fishing, and has made a lot of contributions in this regard. In contrast, the United States often does things that violate the regulations of the International Fisheries Organization, but points fingers at other countries. China does not accept such preaching and will resolutely take effective measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
In fact, the reason why the Biden administration has been lying on China for a long time on the issue of illegal fishing is ultimately to curb our rise and discredit China's national image. To put it bluntly, this move is nothing more than a link of the United States' " Indo-Pacific Strategy ".
Out of the need to suppress China, the United States must first stigmatize China, and then stand at the moral high ground, win over a group of friends, and encircle us in all aspects.
In the current international community, one must pay attention to the fact that one is famous for his master. Since the United States cannot come up with any serious reason, it will create excuses for itself. Anyway, it doesn’t matter how many people believe. As long as it can play a role in confusing the public, their goal will be achieved.
In recent years, the so-called "human rights issues", "debt traps", and the old "China threat theory" that the United States has continued to fabricate are actually the same routine. Of course, the United States is not just a verbal person. What it does has seriously infringed on our interests and threatened the safety of Chinese fishermen.
At present, the Biden administration plans to join forces with Japan, Australia and other countries to establish a mechanism aimed at combating illegal fishing. The country it targets is naturally China. Once this mechanism is implemented, the legal fishing rights of Chinese fishermen will undoubtedly be greatly restricted.
In addition, some time ago, US media exposed a news report that the US Coast Guard law enforcement ship had forcibly boarded several Chinese fishing boats in the high seas of the South Pacific, demanding inspections of the latter and confiscated all the fish on the ship. This was definitely an extremely bad incident.
First of all, US Coast Guard , as the name suggests, the sea areas under its jurisdiction should only include the US territorial waters and exclusive economic zone . On the distant ocean, they have no law enforcement power.
Secondly, the other party is a military policeman with live ammunition. The US Coast Guard ship also carries heavy weapons. They try to force board the ship. Who is responsible if there is a conflict? It can be seen that in order to suppress us, the United States has been using any means to suppress us, and now it is actually brewing new sanctions against China, which is simply intolerable.
It should be noted that the Pacific Ocean is not the inland sea of the United States. When Washington tries to unite allies, bypass the UN and international law framework and lynch Chinese fishermen, we will never be indifferent. As spokesperson Mao Ning said, China will take strong measures to fight back.
After decades of development, China has gradually developed a powerful coast guard force, which is capable of protecting the safety of our fishermen in the depths of the ocean far away from the mainland. Behind the law enforcement forces such as the coast guard are the stronger PLA Navy.
Furthermore, countless facts have proved that even if the United States confronts one of China and Russia alone, it seems very difficult. Now that it is provoking China and Russia at the same time, it is conceivable what the result will be. When Washington's moves cannot force China and Russia to make concessions, but instead bring the two countries closer and closer, the United States will undoubtedly shoot itself in the foot again.
