Sino-US relations ushered in a small fluctuation, but Russian experts said that "don't be too happy", and the United States may continue to tone against China.
This year, Sino-US relations have been like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, which is worrying. From the frequent high-level contacts to the dark clouds of the United States, we seem to see the light for a while, but we have not been able to get rid of the dark clouds.
Things have to start from last year, Sino-US relations have been full of twists and turns, and there have been many ups and downs, but in the turbulent waves of these waves, there has been a hint of easing. The United States has not only sent **, but even congressional leaders have visited China one after another, and there seem to be some subtle changes in Sino-US relations. At this time, Yellen announced that she would visit China again, and after the news came out, many people began to maintain a trace of expectation for the future of Sino-US relations.
However, don't rejoice too soon. The words of Russian expert Maslov are worrying. In the interview, he said: "Don't expect political relations to warm up. This seemingly insipid discourse contains deep apprehension. He pointed out that the anti-China demand during the US period will hinder the further development of Sino-US relations, and may even plunge political relations into a more complicated quagmire.
Netizens expressed their opinions on this. Some people say they are not optimistic, believing that the anti-China remarks of the United States will become the main theme of Sino-US relations, after all, in the United States, anti-China is already "politically correct," and the only consensus between the two parties seems to be tough on China. A netizen left a message on social **: "Isn't this clearly about confrontation?The temporary détente between China and the United States is only a superficial article, and anti-China will definitely be the main event during this period. ”
However, it's not that simple. Starting in the second half of 2023, we are seeing some positive signals from Biden** in his dealings with China. Although anti-China voices may be high during the period, Biden still seems eager to ease relations with China. After all, the internal economic problems of the United States are there, and the solution to these problems cannot be separated from cooperation with China.
Biden's aggressive push on the economic front shows a realistic attitude. Biden's approval ratings continue to be high**, and Americans are increasingly frustrated with his economic policies, and for Biden, if he wants to increase his approval ratings, he will have to make the U.S. economy improve. And this is inseparable from close cooperation with China.
In fact, this cooperation is already beginning to manifest, not only in high-level economic dialogues, but also in military dialogues. This series of positive signals can't help but make us wonder if Sino-US relations can really usher in a new wave of changes
However, long-term observations suggest that this may only be a temporary reluge. The pattern of U.S.** relations with China is worrying. Normally, during the first term, the United States will try to establish a stable relationship with China, and in the second term, it will likely take a more assertive approach.
Whether Biden is re-elected or Trump is back, they will all face a common problem, that is, they can only do this one. In the second term, they are likely to be more unscrupulous, no longer under pressure to be re-elected, and their China policy is more likely to become tougher. That's the U.S. strategy for dealing with China for a long time, and it seems that in any case, they will build some stable relations with China in the first term, and then make a big turn and take a tough stance on China in the second term.
Although there may be some easing in Sino-US relations at the moment, this situation may only last for a year. After the next ** takes office, Sino-US relations may usher in a sharp downward range. Whoever becomes the leader is likely to become more assertive on China policy, after all, in the second term, they will no longer be subject to the pressure of re-election, and may be more decisive and aggressive.
In general, China-US relations are a rollercoaster, sometimes choppy and sometimes calm and comfortable. There may be some subtle changes to be seen right now, but we can't ignore the uncertainties. **The anti-China tone during this period may set off a wave in China-US relations, but we can still maintain a glimmer of hope, hoping that this is only a temporary storm, rather than a bellwether for the long-term direction of China-US relations.
In any case, it's a tense game, and each of us is in the middle of it. We may not be able to influence the international trend, but at least we can pay attention, think about it, and be prepared to deal with it. I hope that China-US relations will become more stable in the future, after all, peace and cooperation are always the best choice.
