U.S. Affairs Assistant Jake Sullivan recently delivered a speech that attracted much attention, which once again attracted people's attention to US-China relations. In this speech, Sullivan summarized the evolution of Biden's policy toward China over the past three years and emphasized the importance of U.S.-China interdependence. However, we have to admit that there is a double standard in Sullivan's remarks. On the one hand, he expressed his desire for dialogue with China, but on the other hand, he did not forget to suppress China. This contradictory attitude is elusive and has brought a certain degree of uncertainty to the development of relations between the two countries. In his speech, Sullivan also singled out the Taiwan issue, saying that the most significant risk in U.S.-China relations would be a crisis in the Taiwan Strait, and stressed the importance of diplomacy. This statement has undoubtedly added more uncertainty to the situation in the Taiwan Strait. As far as China is concerned, the Taiwan issue is an important part of the country's core interests, and any act that undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity will be resolutely opposed.
In addition, Sullivan also mentioned the resumption of communication between the Chinese and U.S. militaries, and said that the two sides have successfully resumed a number of important cooperation mechanisms in the past few months. This is undoubtedly a positive development, but we cannot ignore the hardships and twists and turns. The resumption of dialogue between the Chinese and US militaries is inseparable from the joint efforts and active cooperation of both sides, and a series of sensitive issues and contradictions need to be resolved. Sullivan's speech mainly summarized the consensus he reached after meeting with China's first minister, Wang Yi. This meeting is of great significance to the improvement of Sino-US relations and has also opened a window for dialogue and cooperation between the two countries. But we must also keep a clear head and not be fooled by the superficial harmony, because the differences and competition between China and the United States still exist. Against the backdrop of the escalation of the situation in the Red Sea and the complex and volatile Taiwan issue, the bilateral dialogue between China and the United States is of great significance. This is not only to maintain regional peace and stability, but also to promote the development and prosperity of the world.
The two sides should strengthen communication, enhance mutual trust, find points of common interests, and promote the development of bilateral relations in a healthier and more stable direction. In short, Sullivan's speech once again provoked reflection on the U.S.-China relationship. In the current international situation, cooperation and dialogue between China and the United States are of utmost importance. The Chinese side has always stressed that it hopes to resolve differences through dialogue and consultation and push China-US relations forward on the right track. We hope that the two sides will work together in a constructive manner to inject new vitality into the future development of bilateral relations. Only through mutual respect and equal treatment can we achieve stable and sustainable development of China-US relations. It is inevitable that there will be some differences between China and the United States, but how to effectively manage these differences and avoid moving towards full-scale confrontation is the primary issue that the two countries need to face. The harmony of China-US relations is in line with the development trend of the times and the common interests of all countries and peoples around the world. However, in recent years, China-US relations have faced some challenges and difficulties.
First of all, there is a dispute between China and the United States in the field of **. The U.S. accuses China of unfair practices, including intellectual property theft, forced technology transfer, and market access restrictions. These accusations sparked a war that negatively affected the economies of both sides. How to resolve disputes and restore cooperation has become an important topic in Sino-US relations. Second, the U.S. and China are increasingly competing in the field of technology. The U.S. sees China's technological development as a threat to U.S. global leadership and has taken a series of restrictive measures, such as banning Chinese technology companies such as Huawei from participating in the U.S. market. This approach weakens U.S.-China cooperation in science and technology, which is detrimental to both sides. How to strengthen China-US cooperation in science and technology and jointly respond to global challenges is an important issue facing China and the United States. In addition, there are some differences between China and the United States on regional affairs. For example, the South China Sea issue and the Taiwan issue have always been sensitive issues in China-US relations.
China and the United States should properly handle these issues through dialogue and cooperation on the basis of mutual respect and consultation on an equal footing, so as to maintain regional peace and stability. In the face of these challenges and difficulties, China and the United States should strengthen dialogue and cooperation and seek common solutions based on the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. First, the two sides should strengthen high-level exchanges, enhance mutual trust, and reduce misunderstanding and suspicion. At the same time, the two sides should also strengthen people-to-people exchanges and enhance mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples. Second, China and the United States should strengthen economic cooperation to jointly address global challenges. The two sides can achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win situation by expanding investment and strengthening investment cooperation. At the same time, the two sides can also strengthen cooperation in the field of science and technology, and jointly develop solutions to global problems such as climate change and the new crown epidemic. Finally, China and the United States should strengthen cooperation on regional affairs. The two sides can properly handle sensitive issues and maintain regional peace and stability through dialogue and consultation.
At the same time, the two sides can also strengthen cooperation in international organizations and jointly promote the building and reform of the international order. The harmonious development of China-US relations serves the interests of both countries and the world. Based on the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, the two sides should strengthen dialogue and cooperation, properly resolve differences and problems, and bring China-US relations back on the right track. Only through cooperation can China and the United States achieve common development and prosperity and make greater contributions to world peace and stability.
