The weak posture of the United States has taken China by surprise. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken wanted to create some buzz before his visit to China, but instead China decided to suspend high-level diplomatic engagement with the United States. The United States no longer called for "decoupling" from China, and Blinken also expressed hope that he would like to reschedule his visit to China. Biden wants to communicate with Beijing, but there has been no response. Does the United States really want to improve relations between China and the United States?
The United States has long been in a position of absolute superiority, and its understanding of foreign relations is very simple. In their opinion, there are only two possibilities: one is an ally who obeys them and asks for their help;One is an enemy who is hostile to them and needs to be suppressed by force. The United States has no real strategic partners, no real friends, no real brothers. For China, the United States is "uneasy". They are always worried that their position is threatened, and this is because of their lack of experience. The United States is actually pathetic.
China is not their ally, nor their enemy, but an equal partner, but the United States does not know how to get along with it. In the face of China's continuous development, the United States is helpless. They have taken various measures against China, including against ZTE, Huawei, TikTok, chips, high-tech, biological warfare, ** warfare, diplomatic warfare, and so on. They seem to think that only standing on the opposite side of China can reassure them. They also tried to "decouple" European countries from China, but they did not expect that Europe had woken up and wanted to get rid of the control of the United States. Seeing the huge orders that Germany and France received from China, the United States finally realized the reality: they are the ones who could be replaced at any time.
Recently, White House spokesman Kirby said that Biden is still waiting for a call with the Chinese leader, while the United States is also considering the possibility of Blinken visiting China again. On April 7, U.S. media reported that a number of senior U.S. Department of Commerce officials will travel to Beijing and Shanghai in the near future to prepare for Commerce Secretary Raimondo's possible visit to China. On April 10, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jay Sharmbo publicly stated that the U.S. does not seek to "decouple" from China economically or limit China's growth. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is likely to visit China to discuss economic issues. Is it sincere for the US side to make such frequent statements and lower its posture and take the initiative to show goodwill?
Netizens said, don't be fooled again!It's up to them to act, not their words. There is nothing new in the American trick. They are constantly inciting the Philippines to provoke China on the South China Sea issue;They allowed Tsai Ing-wen to visit the United States and meet with McCarthy;During the PLA's military exercises around Taiwan, they dispatched ** to break into the Taiwan Strait and interfere in China's internal affairs. Before Commerce Secretary Raimondo arrived, they sanctioned 14 Chinese companies in a single day. Blinken announced his visits to Vietnam on April 15, Japan from April 16 to 18, and a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Tokyo. These operations are too American.
The United States seeks practical benefits by "showing weakness." Biden wants to solve the economic crisis at home and wants to seek China's support and cooperation. Their weakness is actually to get China to lend a helping hand as it did in 2008, because they know that only China has the ability to do so.
This time, however, China was firm and did not accede to the U.S. request for a visit. The ambassador to the United States has been vacant for three months, which is in fact a downgrade of Sino-US relations. The United States has done too much of the "handshake at the table and kick under the table" thing. The best trick of the United States is to put on a posture of détente, get China to make concessions, and achieve a détente in Sino-US relations, but it does not work now.
On March 7, at the press conference of the two sessions, Foreign Minister Qin Gang said that the United States has seriously deviated from its perception and positioning of China, and regards China as its most important competitor and the most serious geopolitical challenge.
At a regular press conference on April 11, spokesman Wang Wenbin said: China is not responsible for the current difficulties encountered in China-US relations.
It is hoped that the United States will adapt to an equal partnership with China as soon as possible. If it really wants Sino-US relations to warm up, the United States still needs to show some sincerity.
