Some time ago, Director Wang Yi did a big thing.
Since the meeting between the Chinese and US heads of state in San Francisco, politicians around the world have realized a new trend, that is, the United States is about to change its foreign policy toward China!
Since Trump came to power, the United States has taken a hostile attitude towards China. Whether it is economically, financial sanctions on Chinese companies, or the use of the epidemic to smear China's image in the international community, China-US relations have fallen into a "freezing point" in the past few years.
However, with the outbreak of "black swan" events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, American politicians have realized:In this world, without China's cooperation, the United States will not succeed in anything.
As a result, the heads of state of China and the United States met last month, and now Sino-US relations have begun to warm up significantly. And with the warming of Sino-US relations, those so-called US allies have also quickly reversed course and begun to actively repair relations with China.
On the 26th of last month, Director Wang Yi, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa and South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin held the 10th China-Japan-ROK Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Busan, South Korea.
The Trilateral Foreign Ministers' Meeting of China, Japan and South Korea has attracted much attention from the outside world, because since 2019, the Trilateral Foreign Ministers' Meeting has been interrupted for various reasons, and this is the first time in four years that the Trilateral Foreign Ministers' Meeting of China, Japan and South Korea has been held again.
Looking back on the past three years, too many changes have taken place in China, Japan and South Korea.
First of all, Japan insisted on the discharge of nuclear sewage into the Pacific Ocean despite the dissuasion of the whole world, and China closed down the import of Japanese aquatic products for this reason. After South Korea's new ** Yoon Suk-yeol came to power, he abandoned the foreign policy of his predecessor Moon Jae-in, got too close to the United States, and went farther and farther away from China.
In the past three years, China has also undergone earth-shaking changes. We have withstood the economic recession brought about by the epidemic, the technological and economic sanctions imposed by the United States and Western allies, and the border pressure from India and the Philippines.
Therefore, the trilateral foreign ministers' meeting of China, Japan and the ROK has attracted the attention of the whole world.
However, it is very incomprehensible that after the Foreign Ministers' Meeting, the Chinese representative Wang Yi not only did not participate in the joint press conference, but also did not even attend the originally planned dinner
The outside world speculates that although China, Japan and South Korea have high expectations for this foreign ministers' meeting, because the three countries have not been in contact for too long, there are many contradictions and differences between them, and the foreign ministers' meeting is likely to collapse, so Director Wang Yi left South Korea early and did not even bother to attend the dinner.
Regarding Wang Yi's failure to attend the press conference and dinner, Japanese and Korean media gave different statements.
Japan** said: "Wang Yi left South Korea because of his own travel problems. And South Korea** said: "Director Wang Yi asked to cancel the press conference and dinner at the last minute after the meeting, and China did this to retaliate against Japan and South Korea." ”
Regarding the statement of Japan and South Korea, Liu Sandian has different views. First of all, all the details of such a heavyweight foreign ministers' meeting are arranged in advance, and the dinner and press conference are all necessary links, and if it is not for an emergency, Foreign Minister Wang Yi will not be absent.
The reason why Wang Yi was absent from the press conference and dinner is likely to be that the talks between the two sides collapsed!
You must know that in this trilateral meeting between the foreign ministers of China, Japan and the ROK, Japan and the ROK took the initiative to invite the Chinese side to participate in the meeting. Since the Chinese side has chosen to go to Busan, South Korea, it has already given face to Japan and South Korea.
However, Japan and South Korea most likely did not put themselves in the right position at the meeting, and they still felt that they could give orders to China, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Chinese diplomats, so they did not even attend the press conference and dinner, and left South Korea first.
