Wen Junjian. Biden, who is anxious, finally remembered to hit China ** - according to Russian media reportsWhite House Security Advisor Jake Sullivan claimed that Biden will communicate with the Chinese side. Earlier, Wang Yi and Sullivan held talks in Bangkok, and Sullivan said of the talks that the results of the talks showed that it is necessary for China and the United States to communicate.
Wang Yi and Sullivan talked) In addition, Sullivan also mentioned the attitude of the United States towards Sino-US relationsHe claimed that China and the United States are "interdependent" in the economic sphere, but also have "common interests" in resolving international affairs and reducing the risk of conflict. Sullivan said that the United States recognizes China's important participation in the international arena. He claims that while "competitive", he also seeks to coexist.
Sino-US talks) Sullivan's remarks seem to mean that the attitude of the White House has changedIn fact, there may be several factors in this, which are worth interpreting.
First, the China-US talks sent a clear signal to the US side. Wang Yi made it clear that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair and that security concerns must be legitimate and reasonable. At the same time, Wang Yi also pointed out the importance of win-win cooperation and the necessity of getting along correctly. China's statement is already very clear, and the US side will not be able to go around in circles if it wants to go around again.

Second, as the old saying goes, if you find that the attitude of the United States has changed for the better, it must be that the arrogant attitude of the United States has not worked. The consistent behavior of the United States is that if it can be arrogant, it will not be reasonable, and if the United States is reasonable, it will be arrogant and will not achieve its goal. It is not difficult to see from Sullivan's remarks that the United States is aware of the close relations between China and the United States and that it is necessary to cooperate with China in various major international affairs.

Third, the situation in the United States itself has pushed Biden to urgently improve relations with China. The United States in 2024 will be challenging for Biden, especially now that Trump is in the limelight, which has caused panic among the United States and its allies about "Trump's return".

And Biden is now also "internal and external", the US-Mexico border crisis has triggered the confrontation between the federal ** and Texas, which has also led to the emergence of fears of "civil war", and this matter has become Trump's soft underbelly to attack Biden;Externally, the Ukraine crisis and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have highlighted the failures of the United States. Under normal circumstances, if there is an internal crisis, the United States is likely to launch a provocation against China to achieve the intention of diverting attention, but the current United States is "in a difficult situation at home and abroad", and the external environment is also testing the United States.

Therefore, the change in the attitude of the United States is not that the sun is coming out of the west, but that under the current conditions, the United States has something to ask for something and has to make a posture adjustment - the United States is "sick", and Biden wants to seek medical advice from China.
Of course, Sullivan also said some nonsense, such as he still uses "competition" to define Sino-US relations, and also claims that he will continue to interfere with China in technology and other fields, but "the time is undecided".
Therefore, the United States has taken the initiative to seek communication, which may be regarded as a positive signal. But what exactly the United States will do is what needs to be focused on. We welcome sincere communication and interaction, and if you say one thing and do another, then it is a different matter.
