In less than 48 hours, the United States imposed sanctions on three Chinese companies and made it clear that "the status quo in the Taiwan Strait will not be changed". What is going on behind this series of events?On December 6, the Chinese and US foreign ministers exchanged views on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, in which Wang Yi emphasized China's proposals, called for a ceasefire, and once again clarified its solemn position on the Taiwan issue, warning the US not to interfere in China's internal affairs and not to support "** forces".
During the call, Wang Yi hoped that the United States would proceed from the overall situation and assume its responsibilities as a major country. Although Blinken affirmed China's proposal at the time, and was even considered to have reached a preliminary agreement on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, in the UN Security Council vote on December 8, the United States unilaterally vetoed the draft resolution on the implementation of a humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which made people see clearly its essence of fearing chaos in the world.
This decision shocked the world, especially in the context of the war in Gaza, which has already claimed the lives of thousands of women and children. Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, expressed disappointment and regret over the US veto. The United States' approach has exposed its choice between humanitarianism and its own interests, and has demonstrated its hegemonic stance of supremacy.
At the same time, the United States has imposed sanctions on Chinese companies, including COFCO Sugar Holdings, Sichuan Jingweida Technology Group and Anhui Xinya New Materials on the entity list of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act on the grounds of so-called "forced labor". The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the United States expressed firm opposition to the baseless accusations made by the United States and said that effective measures would be taken to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
This is not the first time that the United States has adopted this method of smearing China, and its double standards have been exposed. Whether it is the Taiwan Strait issue or Xinjiang-related issues, it is China's internal affair, and the United States has no right to interfere. Although the UN High Commissioner's visit to China has proved China's innocence, US politicians continue to use false accusations to smear China.
More worryingly, the United States has demonstrated its determination to create tensions in the Asia-Pacific region by holding meetings with Japan and South Korea, emphasizing "jointly maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea" and launching a new trilateral initiative. The United States has tried to achieve its own interests by containing China's rise in the Taiwan Strait, but it has only left itself in a situation of greater isolation. In the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States has made the world an enemy of its own selfish interests, and has offended the vast number of Arab countries. In recent years, it has harvested the world through the dollar and military hegemony, but more and more countries have risen to resist the dollar and the US military. And now, the United States is trying to provoke wars around the world, but it has ignored the warning that "those who play with fire must **", and its self-destructive image behavior is really speechless.
