While the world is paying attention to the "hand-to-hand" between China and the United States at the Shangri-La Dialogue, another contest between China and the United States has also unfolded in Europe in the past four days. In this contest, the Chinese side also made harsh remarks to the United States: abandon unrealistic illusions.
According to reports, on June 13, local time, Yang Jiechi, director of the office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, and Sullivan, assistant to the US President for National Security Affairs, met in Luxembourg, and the meeting lasted for nearly 5 hours. According to the website of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China and the United States have had frank exchanges on bilateral relations and other important issues, and the two sides have agreed to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state to strengthen dialogue and reduce misjudgment.
At this meeting, Yang Jiechi solemnly told the US side that China's position on safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity is unequivocal and unswerving. China's internal affairs brook no interference from other countries, and any act of obstructing or undermining China's national reunification will surely fail completely. He also stressed that the Taiwan issue is the foundation of Sino-US relations, and if it is not handled well, it will have a subversive impact. This risk not only exists, but will continue to rise as the United States university engages in "Taiwan to control China." The US side must not make any misjudgments or illusions, must abide by the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three Sino-US joint communiques, and must prudently and properly handle Taiwan-related issues.
This is the second time that the two have "clashed" face to face after meeting in Rome on March 14 this year. Compared with the Shangri-La Dialogue, this meeting is the main line affecting Sino-US relations. This also proves that the high-level interaction between China and the United States has never been interrupted. In fact, since this period of time, the various demonstrations against China in the United States have only been a bluff. Even at the time of the Luxembourg dialogue, the US side said that it looked forward to holding a new round of meetings with the High Level of China and the United States.
At this meeting, although Yang Jiechi did not use the four big words "do not hesitate to fight a war", she used the term "subversive influence". What is a "disruptive impact"? It is the complete opposite of the evolution of the situation, and the real shaking of the mountain. Moreover, in March, China's leaders also said earlier, "The direct reason for the current situation in Sino-US relations is that some people in the United States have not implemented the important consensus reached between China and the United States, and have not implemented the positive statements of US President Biden." ”
The Sino-US meeting in Luxembourg also once again conveyed China's "red line" to the United States, but it is worth noting that according to the consistent tactics of the United States in the past to say and do one thing and the current complicated situation in the United States, we must remain vigilant against the United States to cool down and control differences, because the possibility of the United States playing the "Taiwan card" is still very large.
Although the United States has always stressed in recent years that it "does not seek to change the Chinese system," the United States has said one thing and done one thing, which has led to a very difficult situation in Sino-US relations, and at the same time it does not mean that the United States will abandon the "anti-China strategy" in this regard.
Even in the economic and climate issues, the United States has to consult with China. Take the "tariff" as an example, the Sino-US "tariff war" has been fought for several years, and the situation of the US trade deficit with China has still not improved, but has intensified domestic inflation, so at present the United States has to start to re-examine the cancellation of tariffs imposed on China.
You know, in the current situation, dialogue is better than confrontation. Of course, we can't be too optimistic, after all, the United States is a country with different words and deeds, and it is the most important thing for China to treat the United States. If the United States wants to handle Sino-US relations well, it needs to adhere to "mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation."
