The sudden outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic caught the world off guard, and the United States was ruled by Donald Trump at the time. He took the opportunity to issue a series of travel and visa bans, resulting in many green card holders and work visa holders not being able to return, thus achieving his goal of increasing employment opportunities in his home country.
In fact, this is not the first time that the United States has taken such actions against China. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the United States imposed travel restrictions for more than 20 years, completely prohibiting Americans from entering Chinese territory.
Therefore, the American people at that time could only know about China through newspapers and other things, and the rest could only rely on imagination, which formed some negative impressions of China among many Americans.
As the saying goes, "There are no eternal friends and foes, only eternal interests." This sentence is vividly embodied in the complex and ever-changing international situation. The U.S. ban on China is constantly changing, from initial firm resistance to gradual compromise and finally to lifting the ban.
This period not only reflects changes in international relations, but also reflects that China is becoming stronger and stronger and no longer subject to any country. So how did the United States impose "travel restrictions" on China when we were in a difficult time six or seven decades ago?
The People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, and negotiations between China and the United States began the following year. The issue of people-to-people movement came into focus, and China worked tirelessly, and both sides agreed to repatriate civilians.
However, the United States has been slow to lift the travel ban and is resolute. China needs to speak out internationally, and the new country needs more recognition. It is difficult for the United States to make up its mind, and China has begun to look for a breakthrough from the people.
With the improvement of national awareness and cultural level, China is no longer blindly boycotted and prejudiced, but has aroused more curiosity and exploration.
The visit of these news organizations to China was full of uncertainty and curiosity, and not only the American public, but also journalists became interested in this mysterious country. However, when they applied to the United States** to visit China, they were met with strong opposition and even warnings.
Soon after, the main members of the US press jointly submitted a request to the United States to allow them to visit China and protect their right to freedom of press coverage. While the U.S. press is not biased against China, their ignorance of China can lead to enormous business benefits.
However, the United States** still insists on its position that such a precedent cannot be set, otherwise it could have an impact on China's travel ban.
The conflict of interest between the U.S.** and U.S. news organizations is the root cause of their ban on and permission to visit China. Although China and the United States were in a state of hostility at the time, the sudden relaxation of the United States made China vigilant, believing that it might be the United States.
The People** believed that American journalists might come to China with a mission, so they did not accept the American journalists' request to visit China. The US policy toward China in the 50s was to resolutely resist, isolate, and even hostile to.
In the sixties of the nineteenth century, the replacement of the United States changed its attitude towards China. The newly appointed ** has a more open and understanding attitude towards China, and at the same time, the US press continues to pay attention to the interests of China on this unknown continent and constantly exert pressure on **.
This pressure eventually prompted the United States** to ease its travel ban on China. Although the process was full of temptations and compromises, the inauguration of the new ** brought new hope for the lifting of the ban.
In particular, some Democrats** have high expectations for this. At the same time, other U.S. departments have recognized the huge benefits to the U.S. from lifting the travel ban on China and have written a detailed report on it.
While many ministries want the ban to be lifted, and multiple sectors are looking for ways to lift the ban, the question of who will lift the ban is an open question.
The current United States has just taken office and has not yet fully established itself. And *** shirked for various reasons, and never loosened the ban for half a point. This issue of bans is passed between the various departments within ** like football.
The new ** is hesitant to lift the ban, mainly because he won the election by a narrow margin, and he feels that he has not yet gained enough popular support.
If the ban is lifted at will, it may make his ** position unstable. Because he was forced to do so precisely because of his poor handling of the China issue, he was very cautious about this issue.
Since the 60s of the 19th century, the changes in China have dazzled the people of the world.
The United States** has realized that China's strong development can no longer be contained by its policy of isolation and resistance, so they have decided that they can implement the principle of non-isolation under the premise of containing China's core.
They allowed special groups of people, such as academics, doctors, and journalists, to travel to China in an attempt to open a breakthrough in this way. However, the United States** tried to avoid the issue of China's sovereignty and the issue of Taiwan, which was doomed to failure.
China has always firmly believed that its territory is sacrosanct and that its prestige and status are earned through its own efforts, rather than relying on the recognition and granting of it by other countries. Therefore, the idea of the United States trying to obscure the issue of China's sovereignty is doomed to fail.
China's resolute stance in defending territorial integrity is expected, and both socialist and capitalist countries will resolutely safeguard national sovereignty. The U.S. began sharing typhoons** with China, as well as weather information obtained by U.S. satellites.
The gradual lifting of the ** ban between the two countries is undoubtedly good news for both sides. The United States has finally responded to the press, agreeing to issue valid tourist passports to journalists or health care workers, and to donate food and medical supplies to China in the name of humanitarianism.
With the continuous expansion of China and the United States, many civil society organizations and companies have found great business opportunities. The business community is no longer satisfied with the original ** restrictions, and they have made a request to the United States ** to further open the ban.
Surprisingly, this has triggered the possibility of personnel exchanges and integration between the two countries. This is undoubtedly exciting news. However, there are other considerations for the US White House.
Like we said before, once the restrictions are lifted, it is difficult to control. The United States has lifted some of the bans, and although there are still illusions of containing China, people from all walks of life who have tasted the sweetness will push the United States to lift the ban further.
This is a reality in which a weak country has no diplomacy, and such an outcome is inevitable as China grows stronger.
