Outcome of Sino-US talks?In less than 24 hours, the United States lifted sanctions on China
Some time ago, the news of the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States aroused heated discussions. Against the backdrop of increasingly tense Sino-US relations, the news that the Chinese and US heads of state will meet in San Francisco will undoubtedly touch the nerves of many people, so what further impact this meeting will have on the relations between the two countries is the focus of attention of all parties.
It is worth mentioning that the United States officially announced the cancellation of the entity sanctions list of the Identification Center of the Ministry of Public Security of China and the Medical Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security of China.
In this regard, some netizens said: Does Biden really not put China's words in his ears, the meeting between China and the United States lasts less than 24 hours, and the United States will lift the sanctions against China. Whatever the reason, it actually means that China-US cooperation can be restored, and there is not no room for loosening China-US relations in the future.
As for the U.S. sanctions against the Ministry of Public Security's China Identification Center, we might as well start from May 2020, when the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a policy of"Human rights violations and forced labor"and other absurd reasons, the blacklisting of 8 Chinese legal entities, although the Chinese side expressed strong opposition, but to no avail.
This time, the leaders of China and the United States will obviously be fully prepared for the meeting in San Francisco, and the senior leaders of the two sides have had a long and frequent communication during the meeting, and the Chinese side mainly emphasized the deliberate suppression of China by the United States in the field of advanced chips and semiconductors in the form of export controls, unilateral sanctions, investment reviews, etc., and demanded that the United States lift these unreasonable sanctions.
According to relevant statistics, the United States has imposed as many as 500 sanctions on China in these areas, and it is obviously impossible for the United States to completely lift them, but what people see is the continuous response of the United States based on its own interests. The lifting of sanctions against the Appraisal Center of the Ministry of Public Security of China and the Medical Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security of China is a gesture by the United States towards China and a resumption of anti-narcotics cooperation with China, which is in line with the needs of both sides.
It also shows that both China and the United States have a certain degree of flexibility in foreign policy. Although it is widely believed that Sino-US relations have become very warm in recent years, the United States has been able to adjust to the needs of the external political environment and its own interests. In maintaining cooperation with China, the United States portrays China as one"Democratic and accountable"and in the event of a conflict of interests, China is described as"undermining human rights and global security"。
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the United States lifted the sanctions on the Appraisal Center of the Ministry of Public Security and the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Ministry of Public Security in order to expand its influence in exchange for more benefits.
However, as far as China is concerned, as a responsible major country, anti-drug cooperation is in line with our position and attitude, and facts have also proved that China has been engaged in anti-drug activities for many years, so although we know that the United States is to increase its negotiating power, we have not refused, which also reflects China's responsible international image.
The meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States also showed that the two countries can maintain cooperation in certain specific areas. Although each step of cooperation is based on their own strategic needs, it is also a good opportunity for the two countries to improve their relations. When necessary, cooperation between China and the United States will not only help resolve the problems between the two countries, but will also lay the foundation for the long-term stability and development of bilateral relations.
