[Look at China July 28, 2021](Look at a comprehensive report by Chinese reporter Xiao Ran) On July 26, senior Chinese and US officials exchanged views on issues such as the epidemic, human rights, and cybersecurity in a tense atmosphere. This is the United States. China SelfBidenThe highest-level talks held since taking office.The White House revealed that the meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping was not mentioned in the talks, and the two lists drawn by the Chinese side revealedChinese Communist PartyCrisis.
White House spokesman Jen Psaki said at a White House briefing on the 26th, “The president continues to believe in face-to-face diplomacy. This is his long-standing proposition. We look forward to the opportunity to have contacts at some point, but this time It was not discussed in the meeting, and that is not the purpose of this meeting.”
The US State Department stated in the background briefing after the Tianjin meeting that Sherman pointed out the Chinese government’s repressive actions in Hong Kong, human rights violations in Xinjiang and Tibet, the Chinese government’s provocative actions in the Taiwan Strait, and malicious in cyberspace. Activity. She also pointed out that the Chinese government rejected the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) to continue the traceability of the virus in China, as well as the Chinese government’s restrictions on media interviews and freedom of the press.
The summary of the speech of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs showed that the talks smelled of gunpowder. The Chinese Communist Party’s Deputy Foreign Minister Xie Feng told Wendy R. Sherman that Sino-US relations are currently at a deadlock and are facing serious difficulties. The fundamental reason is that some people in the United States regard China as an “imaginary enemy.” Xie Feng also accused the United States of pursuing an international order aimed at benefiting others and restricting other countries. It wanted to implement the law of the jungle with the weak and the strong.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Xie Feng’s meeting with Sherman was in many respects a repeat of the US-China meeting in Alaska. Xie Feng not only said that the US “competition, cooperation, and confrontation” rule of thirds was a “obscure approach” to curb and suppress China. “. He also asked, “Why does the United States claim to be a spokesperson for global democracy and human rights?”
After the meeting, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued strong messages, including Xie Feng’s statement at the briefing that he had put forward a “correction list” and a “list of key cases of concern to the United States” to the United States. Among them, the “error correction list” puts forward eight requirements:
-Unconditional removal of visa restrictions on CCP members and their families
-Remove sanctions on Chinese leaders, officials and government departments
-Remove visa restrictions for Chinese students
-Stop nuisance to Chinese students
-Stop suppressing Chinese companies
-Stop suppressing Confucius Institutes
-Revocation of registration of Chinese media as “foreign agents” or “foreign missions”
-Withdrawal of the extradition request for Meng Wanzhou
Some analysts believe that this list bears the brunt of the “unconditional removal of visa restrictions on CCP members and their families”, which proves that the US sanctions on Chinese officials have “hit seven inches”, which means that it directly hits the interests of the CCP bureaucracy. . The famous writer Su Xiaokang commented and told Agence France-Presse, “The first item on the list of negotiations between the CCP and the United States is actually’lifting the ban on the families of its officials.’ It can be seen that their interests and wealth are in’Western imperialism. What did you learn?”
These eight requirements also revealed the urgent needs of the CCP, namely, to safeguard the assets and interests of the CCP government and officials in the United States; restore channels for stealing technology and intellectual property rights; and restore large-scale foreign propaganda and ideological unity.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi clarified the CCP’s three bottom lines to Sherman, which actually exposed the CCP’s three major crises: the crisis of political power, the crisis of technology supply cutoff, and the crisis of losing the United Front against Taiwan. The three bottom lines mentioned by Wang Yi are:
-The United States must not challenge, slander or even attempt to subvert the path and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
-The United States must not try to obstruct or even interrupt China’s development process.
-The United States must not infringe upon China’s national sovereignty, let alone undermine China’s territorial integrity.
Senior U.S. officials also emphasized at the briefing that although climate change is a topic for cooperation between the U.S. and China, it does not mean that the U.S. is seeking Chinese cooperation (soliciting corporation). Psaki said on Monday that the United States will not evade issues including Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, etc. when engaging with the CCP, but at the same time seek cooperation in other areas, such as the fight against drugs and nuclear non-proliferation. Regional issues include North Korea, Iran, and Afghanistan. Talk to Myanmar.
Senior U.S. officials also stated that Sherman also called on the CCP to release detained American and Canadian citizens, including U.S. citizens who are prohibited from leaving China. The United States also believes that China’s unfair trade and economic practices, violations of intellectual property rights, forced technology transfer, and economic oppression of US allies are all violations of international standards.
The prospects for improving relations between the US and China are bleak
The gunpowder-like talks took place when the two countries were preparing to send new ambassadors to each other. Qin Gang, China’s new ambassador to the United States, plans to leave Beijing for Washington in the next few days. It is expected that Beijing will soon welcome senior diplomat Nicholas Burns as the US ambassador to China.
Reuters reported that some analysts said that the diplomatic ossification between the United States and China has bleak prospects for improving relations.
Scott, a China expert at Washington’s Center for Strategic and International Studies (Washington’s Center for Strategic and International Studies). Kennedy (Scott Kennedy) said, “For any party, there is no easy-to-achieve cooperation goal. Any cooperation gesture will actually bring huge domestic and strategic costs.”
American Enterprise Institute (American Enterprise Institute) visiting scholar Eric. Sayers (Eric Sayers) believes that Tianjin (the talks) shows that there are still great differences in how the two sides view the value and role of diplomatic contacts.
