Although the United States has taken a tough stance on Russia on the surface, it has privately tried to take the initiative to restart communication with Russia. However, the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister made it clear that there is no point in negotiating with the United States now. Behind this refusal is a series of concessions and sanctions made by the United States against Russia before, which have consumed Russia's trust in the United States and made Russia sober up from its illusions. The same tactic has already been used by the United States when it comes to China.
1. Russia's trust in the United States has been depleted
From the Russia-Ukraine conflict, nuclear arms control to economic sanctions, a series of actions by the United States have shattered Russia's illusions about the United States and Western countries. Russia no longer believes that the United States will make unilateral concessions, and it no longer easily accepts the "olive branch" of the United States. The consequence of this loss of trust is Russia's resolute rejection of the attitude of the United States.
2. The difference in the attitude of the United States towards China and Russia
The United States has a completely different attitude towards China and Russia. With China, the United States ostensibly adopts a soft strategy, because China stands on the moral high ground, and the United States cannot directly take tough measures. On the contrary, the United States has blamed China for the dialogue by selling misery and shouting, trying to damage China's international image and hinder effective communication between China and the United States. The United States, on the other hand, has taken a tough stance on Russia, as they realize that Russia may respond by direct action.
As early as after the San Francisco summit, the United States began to provoke Japan and the Philippines in the East China Sea and the South China Sea to create turmoil. Japan and the Philippines are engaged in larger and more frequent military operations, with the United States standing behind them. In addition to the South China Sea, Japan has also been active in expanding its influence in the ASEAN region and strengthening diplomatic and military cooperation with Vietnam. In addition, in the Central Asian region, the United States is trying to link the G7 with the countries of Central Asia. All of these actions imply that the United States is speeding up its encirclement of China on many fronts.
1. Economic and chain troubles
In addition to military operations, the United States is interfering with China in the economic and **chain spheres. The U.S. has enacted policies to try to decouple from China and take concrete actions to disrupt cooperation between Chinese companies and the outside world. These actions are aimed at weakening China's economic power and international influence.
2. U.S. provocations against China
The United States has tried to provoke China and suppress China in many fields. The purpose of such behavior is to weaken China's voice and position. For example, on the issue of Hong Kong, the United States frequently interfered in China's internal affairs, supported the protesters, and tried to undermine China's social stability. In addition, the United States has also imposed economic sanctions against China in an attempt to limit China's development space.
The attitude of the United States towards China and Russia is privately diametrically opposed to what appears to be. With regard to China, the United States is soft on the surface, but secretly it has taken ruthless measures to try to undermine China's international image and willingness to communicateThe United States, on the other hand, is tough on Russia, but secretly bows its head because it knows that Russia may take direct action. History has proven that the attitude of the United States toward China and Russia is based on the consideration of its own interests and should not be easily trusted.
In the current international situation, China and Russia should maintain a high degree of vigilance and not be fooled by the hypocrisy of the United States. China and Russia should strengthen cooperation and jointly respond to US provocations and interference through genuine friendly cooperation. While safeguarding their respective national interests, China and Russia should also uphold international fairness and justice, as well as regional and world peace and stability.
With regard to China, we should always remain sober-minded, not be deceived by the words of the United States, and maintain a firm stand and actions. Only on the basis of strength can we truly engage in dialogue with the United States and its allies on an equal footing and safeguard China's core interests and international image.
For China and Russia, the struggle against the United States is both a long-term marathon and a severe test. Only with sufficient wisdom and perseverance can we win this struggle and defend our dignity and interests. We need to learn from America's two-faced tactics, stay vigilant, stick to our principles, and fight for our future.
