In the context of the Munich Security Conference, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken took the initiative to invite Chinese Minister Wang Yi for talks, and the British Foreign Secretary also followed suit and took the initiative to meet Wang Yi.
When Britain made a request to China, it obviously failed to distinguish the importance of the matter, and directly criticized the Hong Kong issue.
Just after the Spring Festival, Director Wang Yi quickly went to Germany to participate in the Munich Security Conference. During the meeting, the foreign ministers of the United States and the United Kingdom invited Director Wang Yi to hold talks to discuss issues of mutual concern. According to the news released by ***, Director Wang Yi stressed during his talks with Blinken that the important task at present is to turn the consensus reached between China and the United States in San Francisco into reality.
In his meeting with the Chinese head of state in San Francisco last November, Biden expressed a number of consensuses to promote the development of Sino-US relations, but the actual actions of the United States showed contradictions on the Taiwan issue. Director Wang Yi stressed that he hopes the US side can fulfill Biden's commitments, abide by the one-China principle, and not support it. He pointed out that resolving the Taiwan issue requires more practical actions, not just words.
In addition to bilateral relations, Director Wang Yi and Blinken also discussed issues of global concern, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the Korean Peninsula.
Among these issues, the United States is most concerned about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict that broke out in October last year has not yet been resolved, and has put tremendous diplomatic and military pressure on the United States, especially with regard to the Red Sea crisis. The US has lobbied China many times, hoping that China will pressure the Houthis to resolve the Red Sea crisis. The Chinese side has made it clear that the resolution of the Red Sea crisis needs to focus on resolving the fundamental issues of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, not just treating the symptoms.
Britain also has a problem with China in the Red Sea crisis. In a meeting with Director Wang Yi, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron expressed the hope that China can use its influence over Iran to resolve the Red Sea crisis by pressuring the Houthis.
When talking about the Hong Kong issue, the British side obviously showed that it could not distinguish between the important and the important, and criticized China. Cameron's rhetoric is similar to that of the United States, and he has repeatedly demonstrated the hegemonic thinking of the West in his handling of the Hong Kong issue.
The actions of the United States and Britain demonstrate their double standards in international affairs, harming China's national interests on the one hand, and hoping that China will help solve the problem on the other. The current era is no longer one in which the United States and the West have the final say, and they should clarify their attitudes and realize that they do not have enough leverage to persuade China to change its position.
