“Because the thing is like this: the relationship with China is the most complicated and important relationship we have. It would be nice to put it on a bumper sticker, but we can’t do that. (The relationship between the two countries) has some aspects that are obviously They are competitive, some are cooperative, and some are adversarial.”
“The challenge we face is to ensure that we manage this relationship in all these different aspects,” Brinken said.
Since the Biden administration took office in January, the United States and China have been conducting frequent high-level dialogues.

National Security Advisor: The United States seeks to coexist with China and does not seek to change the Chinese Communist system
CNN broadcasted an interview with White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on November 7. Sullivan said that the United States will seek to “coexist with China” and compete instead of a new cold war. .
He also said that the Biden administration will not repeat the “mistakes” of the past and seek to change China’s political system. At the same time, Sullivan confirmed that representatives of China and the United States are launching trade negotiations on tariff issues and reiterated that the U.S. government adheres to the “One China” policy.
In early October, Sullivan held talks in Switzerland with Yang Jiechi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, to determine a principled agreement on video dialogue between the heads of the two countries during the year.
In March, at the first high-level meeting between the United States and China in Alaska, Brinken and Sullivan confronted Yang Jiechi and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi respectively.
The Chinese Communist national tabloid “Global Times” published an article on November 8, stating that Sullivan’s statement implied the tone of relaxation in US-China relations, but “it was not enough”. The article also quoted experts as warnings to be vigilant about the United States.
Aesthetics scholar He Qinglian wrote an article on the Epoch Times website on the 9th that Sullivan’s interview with CNN was well-chosen in time: On November 8, Beijing, separated by the Pacific Ocean, was busy convening the Sixth High School of the 19th High School. The plenary meeting can be regarded as a “gift” delivered in time to solve the problem of Xi Jinping’s long-term governance and the direction of the CCP in the future.
What impact will the Biden Xi Jinping video summit have?
Li Zhengxiu, an associate researcher at the National Policy Research Foundation of the Taiwanese consortium, told The Epoch Times that he believes that the United States will begin to relax its economic and trade restrictions after this video call.
He said that the speeches of U.S. Trade Representative Dai Qi and Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen (Janet Yellen) are already preparing to ease the trade war to some extent.
“The U.S. government will continue to require the CCP to safeguard basic human rights, because it is consistent with the American spirit of nation-building, but the volume and intensity will be reduced.” Li Zhengxiu said.
Feng Chongyi, a professor at the University of Technology Sydney in Australia and an expert on China issues, said that Sullivan’s speech was “I want China to have more room for cooperation on climate issues, fighting the epidemic, or on economic and trade issues.”
The Biden administration’s China strategy is still confrontation, competition, and cooperation.
Feng Chongyi has reservations about the trend of U.S.-China relations. In an interview, he mentioned what former Secretary of State Pompeo said in a speech at the Nixon Library before leaving office: “If the free world does not change Communist China, then Communist China will change us. .”
At that time, Pompeo had just finished his meeting with Yang Jiechi in Hawaii. Pompeo said in his speech, “The old way—he (referring to Yang) said a lot, but he didn’t mention China’s changes. Yang’s promise was like Like many of his previous CCP officials’ promises, they were just empty words.”
The Pentagon says China and climate change pose equal national security threats
The Pentagon said on Wednesday (10th) that they believe that China and climate change are “equally important” national security threats to the US Department of Defense.
“Both are equally important,” John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, told Fox News. “Both are challenges that the minister wants the Pentagon’s senior leadership to focus on, just like many other challenges.”
Rebeccah L. Heinrichs, an international security researcher at the Hudson Institute, published an article on the Providence website on the 9th, criticizing that the whole government officials discuss China (CCP) In the method of challenge, it can be seen that President Biden did not regard the threat of China (the CCP) as a major or even complete military threat.
“Officials use euphemistic language to cover up China’s problems, or that China’s problems are neither existing nor urgent,” she wrote.
“There are too many officials in the Biden administration that seem to insist on a hope that China and the United States have too much money to make, too much climate change to (jointly) confront, and there is a relationship between the two technologically advanced powers. The war will be very harsh, (so) it is unlikely to go to war.” Heinrichs said, “This kind of view is overly optimistic, and it is only possible when the bloody record of history is denied.”
She reminded: “The ideology of the Chinese Communist Party is advancing its national goals. Even though US officials are eager to maintain the non-ideological nature of the US policy toward China, the Chinese Communist Party does regard it as a conflict of ideologies, and believes that its ideology is in conflict with each other. The government system is better than the United States.”
Congressman: Xi Jinping’s speech has been talking about preparing for war
Republican Representative Mike Waltz said in an interview with Newsmax’s “Cortes & Pellegrino” program on the 9th: “As a country, we need to be soberly aware that the Communist Party of China led by President Xi is working with the United States. During the Cold War, he always publicly told his country to prepare for war.”
Waltz added that whether it is trade, coronavirus, or Taiwan, Xi Jinping intends to build a world economic and military superpower to surpass the United States as a world leader.
“They (the Chinese Communist Party) have seen the weaknesses and smelled the weaknesses of the White House. They will continue to push forward. This is very dangerous for the United States, and it is also true for the world.” Waltz said.
Former State Council’s China Policy Adviser Yu Maochun said in an earlier interview with the English Epoch Times “Thought Leadership” program that just read the speeches of the leaders of the Communist Party of China-look at their own domestic and international policies-to realize Every major policy move is based on communist ideology, but Western policymakers have not taken this seriously.
He tweeted at the end of July 2020: “The leaders of (the Chinese Communist Party) and the party media claimed that’the party, the government, the military, and the civil sciences, the east, the west, the north and the north, the party leads everything.’ Its government spokesmen and official media directors attack the United States every day. Most of his remarks are written in English… The most important teacher for educating American politicians is the Chinese (CCP) government itself.”
When Yu Maochun participated in an online conference on Hong Kong issues in 2020, he concluded that the Chinese policies formulated by the United States over the past decades are based on estimates of the CCP’s anger towards the U.S. Once the CCP becomes angry, the U.S. immediately relaxes and avoids it. Direct confrontation with the CCP; the U.S. does not know that the CCP is best at raising the level of anger to the highest level and then testing how the U.S. reacts.
