The offline meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States in Bali, Indonesia has attracted much attention from the world and continues to maintain its popularity. The two heads of state had candid and in-depth exchanges on strategic issues in Sino-US relations and major global and regional issues. Through this offline meeting between China and the US dollar, China has sent signals from six aspects.

One refers to the direction.

hopes to establish a development direction for China-US relations through the meeting of the heads of state. As Foreign Minister Wang Yi said, the diplomacy of the head of state is the "compass" and "setting star" of Sino-US relations, and plays an irreplaceable strategic leading role in the development of bilateral relations. At the critical juncture of the current serious difficulties in Sino-US relations, the meeting between the two heads of state has pointed out the direction for the development of Sino-US relations. That is, we must prevent Sino-US relations from derailing and losing control and find the right way for two major powers to get along with each other. China pointed out that the current situation facing Sino-US relations does not meet the fundamental interests of the two countries and the people of both countries, nor does it meet the expectations of the international community. Both sides should be responsible to history, the world and the people to ensure that China-US relations move forward in the correct direction, without deviating or stalling, and without colliding.

The second is to draw a red line.

During this meeting, China conveyed to the United States two most important bottom lines and red lines that China cannot overcome.

One is the Taiwan issue. China stressed that the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests, the political foundation of China-US relations, and a red line that the United States cannot and should not cross. China requires the United States to be consistent in its words and deeds, abide by the one-China policy and the three joint communiqués of , implement the promise of "not supporting 'Taiwan independence'", stop emptying the one-China policy, restrict and stop "Taiwan independence" separatist words and deeds, and do not let the situation develop to an uncontrollable level. China hopes for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait the most, and "Taiwan independence" is incompatible with peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. If we want to maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, we should firmly oppose and curb "Taiwan independence". Anyone who wants to split Taiwan from China is contrary to China's national justice. The Chinese people will surely share the same hatred of the enemy and will never agree.

Another is the issue of institutional road. China stressed that the United States is engaged in capitalism , China is engaged in socialism, and the two sides are taking different paths. This difference has existed since the first day of the two sides' dealings and will continue to exist in the future. One of the important things for China and the United States to get along is to recognize this difference and respect this difference. If you attempt to subvert, you will step on the bottom line and cross the red line, which will shake the foundation of the relationship between the two countries.

Third, it is to explain goodwill. Through the meeting between the two heads of state, China issued a positive call to the United States to "adhere to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation" to ensure that China-US relations move forward along the correct course. China pointed out that Sino-US relations should not be the zero-sum game of , where you win or lose, you rise and fall. The success of China and the United States is an opportunity rather than a challenge for each other. The broad earth can fully accommodate the development and prosperity of China and the United States. Both sides should correctly view each other's internal and external policies and strategic intentions, and establish a tone of dialogue rather than confrontation, win-win rather than zero-sum. China has never sought to change the existing international order, not interfere in the internal affairs of the United States, and has no intention of challenging and replacing the United States. It is unusual for China to release the greatest goodwill through the meeting between the two heads of state.

Fourth, prevent misjudgment.

China and the United States are countries with different political systems. The United States has broad and profound uneasiness about China's rise. It has taken many repressive actions against China, and has also been strongly resisted by China. Through this meeting of the heads of state, it is to clearly tell the United States that although China has no intention to challenge and replace the United States, China has its own principles and bottom line to adhere to for a long time, and has legitimate interests that must be firmly safeguarded, and will not succumb to any hegemony and hegemony. The US should stop curbing and suppressing China, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, stop damaging China's sovereignty, security and development interests, and work with China to jointly build the "four pillars" that are conducive to the healthy and stable development of China-US relations, and jointly consolidate the "solid foundation" for the steady and long-term development of China-US relations.Through the guidance of the head of state meeting, we will promote the deepening of understanding between the two countries, reduce misjudgments, and avoid conflicts that both sides do not want.

is to gather consensus.

Only with consensus can there be a basis for getting along correctly. As the Chinese President pointed out, it is impossible to have two major powers, such as China and the United States, without some major principled consensus. Only with principles can there be direction, and only with direction can we properly handle differences and expand cooperation. China's proposal that China and the United States should adhere to mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation is based on this consideration. We want to build consensus between the two countries through this meeting of the heads of state and jointly discuss the establishment of a strategic framework for Sino-US relations. Especially with the deep integration of economies between China and the United States, facing new development tasks, we need to benefit from each other's development. Global Economy Post-epidemic recovery, response to climate change, and solving regional hot issues are inseparable from China-US coordination and cooperation. Both sides should respect each other, benefit each other, focus on the overall situation, and provide a good atmosphere and stable relationship for cooperation between the two sides. As China pointed out, Sino-US cooperation is a good thing for both countries and the world. Cooperation requires a good atmosphere and a stable relationship. It cannot be a one-sided order. It must take care of the concerns of both parties and give and give. China and the United States should work hard to make the list of cooperation longer and longer, and not shrink shorter and shorter.

Six is to promote peace. Through this meeting of the heads of state, China conveyed China's consistent claim to call for world peace to the United States. China has always decided its position and attitude based on the right and wrong of the matter itself, advocated dialogue and consultation, peaceful settlement of disputes, deepened and expanded the global partnership, maintained the international system with the United Nations as the core and the international order based on the international law of the Internet, and promoted the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. Regarding the Ukraine issue, China reiterated China's "four shoulds" in dealing with the Ukraine issue and clarified China's "four commonalities" in dealing with the latest evolution of the Ukraine situation. It is emphasized that dialogue and negotiation are the top priority, and the peaceful resolution of the crisis is not allowed. The nuclear weapons of are not allowed and the nuclear war of cannot be fought. Nuclear crisis in the Eurasian continent should be prevented. We should also work together to ensure the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain and avoid a larger-scale humanitarian crisis. China has always stood on the side of peace and will continue to persuade peace and promote talks. On the nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula, the Chinese President elaborated on China's established position, stressing that we should face up to the crux of the peninsula issue and insist on a balanced solution to their respective concerns, especially the reasonable concerns of the North Korean side.
