At the time of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Sino-US meeting is taking place at the same time, and in the face of the combined punch played by China, it is time for the United States to reflect and reflect.
At present, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has reached the final decisive moment, and the result of the fourth round of negotiations will determine the next fate of Ukraine. Whether to fight or peace seems to be chosen by Ukraine, but the decision has been firmly grasped by Russia.
In such a context, the Sino-US meeting in Rome is very eye-catching, after all, before the meeting, the US President's national security adviser Sullivan began to pour dirty water on China, saying that China was aware of Russia's special military operations in advance. Moreover, not only American officials, but also the American media have begun to take the rhythm and slander China for military assistance to Russia. Even U.S. officials have made harsh remarks that during the meeting, Sullivan would warn of "global isolation" of China's continued support for Russia.
For this Sino-US meeting, an important purpose of the United States is to threaten China face-to-face, pull China into the water, and make China take sides on the Russian-Ukrainian issue.
In the face of this aggressive attitude of the United States, China responded with a beautiful combination of punches.
First of all, during the Sino-US meeting, Yang Jiechi, a Representative of the Chinese Side, expressed his position on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict by "persuading peace and promoting talks" and called on the international community to support the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks. Second, Qin Gang, China's ambassador to the United States, also published an article in the Washington Post to refute the dirty water that U.S. officials and the media threw at China before the talks. On the same day, two locations, one positively responding to the Threat of the United States and the other positively refuting the slander of the United States. China's attitude was much to the surprise of the United States.
Then, from the statements of Yang Jiechi and Qin Gang, I think there are two points worth paying attention to.
First, China is becoming more and more confident in its game with the United States. As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of the shadow oblique. In any way that the United States will come to China's trouble, China will fight back in the same way.
Before the Sino-US meeting, US officials and the media poured dirty water on China through interviews and exposés, so Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang also responded by writing articles in well-known Media in the United States. Moreover, Ambassador Qin Gang's response was more official and convincing than what they called hearsay. As for the threat from the US side, Chinese representative Yang Jiechi also made clear China's attitude at the right time during the meeting. This tit-for-tat approach to the problem, with China's reasoning, strength and moderation, caught the United States off guard.
Second, although Yang Jiechi and Qin Gang are targeting different objects, they are the same in terms of core ideas, that is, "persuading peace and promoting talks." When conveying China's attitude toward the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to the United States, China is also shouting to the United States.
Because in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States played a role in fueling the waves. China has long called for a peaceful resolution of the dispute through diplomacy, but the United States has done everything in its power to keep the military conflict going on as long as possible. At the time of the fourth round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, the United States also provided Ukraine with military funds and weapons. Such an act not only lacks the responsibility of a great power, but also makes the name of the United States, which prides itself as a "defender of peace", a kind of irony to itself. In this way, China is shouting that "the United States will stop." I don't know if this "destroyer of the big environment" can understand the meaning.
You know, just before the Sino-US meeting, China's first batch of relief supplies have arrived in Ukraine, compared with the military expenses and weapons provided by the United States, the pattern of China and the United States is high.
It can be said that China has rejected the threat of the United States to ask China to take sides with a very clear attitude. But these are only part of the Sino-US meeting, and the highlight of the Sino-US meeting is actually to implement the consensus reached at the video meeting between the two heads of state last year.
It has been exactly four months since the last video meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States, during which China has firmly followed the commitments made by the Chinese side, while the United States has not only "cut sausages" on the Taiwan issue, but also continued to pour dirty water on China on "human rights" and other issues, and continued to fool other countries in Asia to encircle China. China has repeatedly made clear its attitude to this way of deviating from consensus and doing things one by one, but the United States has chosen to turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.
Now, after the China-US meeting in Rome, the US side has made a statement to China and made a commitment to implement the consensus reached by the head of state. Next, it depends on whether the United States can match words with deeds.
It can be said that for the real purpose of the US-China meeting in Rome, China responded with a beautiful set of combination punches. The United States has also made relevant commitments to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state. Although the United States may still not change its approach in the future, at least this time China has made the United States realize that it wants to make a trip for China, and China will never agree, not now, and even more so in the future. It is time for the United States to reflect on Sino-US relations.
