Blinken, who was supposed to set off for China in February this year, has not set foot on Chinese soil until this April. However, Blinken seems to have been thinking about this all along. At a journalists' meeting, he said that he would visit China only when he was ripe. Seeing that Blinken didn't understand a point, there was no Chinese invitation, why did Blinken come over?
A few days ago, at a joint meeting of foreign ministers and defense secretaries of the United States and the Philippines, the matter of Blinken's visit to China was once again mentioned, and US Secretary of State Blinken said when confronted with issues related to Sino-US relations. Sino-US relations are the most important and the most complex, so when conditions are ripe, he will continue his trip to China.
The trip to China mentioned by Blinken refers to a visit to China that was delayed in February this year because of the "wandering balloon" incident. At that time, the Biden administration kept hyping up this incident, claiming that this was China's collection of intelligence reports in the United States, but in fact, this was a civilian airship. Under the hype of the Biden administration, Blinken even staged a drama of delaying his visit to China because of this incident, in order to highlight the seriousness of the "wandering balloon" incident.
However, what is in mind is that after Blinken announced his late visit to China, it is obvious that the United States is still worried about this matter all along. Kirby, spokesman for the White Palace National Security Committee, has repeatedly stressed that Blinken's visit to China has been delayed, not eliminated. Now, from the mouth of Blinken himself, he also personally stressed that he would continue his visit to China.
It's just that in Blinken's rhetoric, he didn't make a clear premise that when you want to be a guest in someone else's house, the most important thing is to get the agreement of the other party first. It is very presumptuous to accept an invitation from the other party, rather than relying on one's own personal wishes, to go wherever you want. Obviously, Blinken did not understand this premise, stood at his own angle, and claimed that when the time came, he would go to China, as if China had already issued an invitation. And the United States is still considering a mature opportunity, who will give whom at the end of the steps? Blinken got to figure it out.
And the actual situation is that Blinken's visit to China has always been the talk of the United States, and we have never confirmed Blinken's trip. All of them are said to be that there is no information to provide. It can be seen from this that when the United States did not receive our invitations, it thought about it and did a series of things that undermined Sino-US relations, which is really ridiculous.
If you don't receive an invitation from China, but insist on coming to China, what kind of treatment will you receive? In fact, von der Leyen, chairman of the European Union Commission, who also did not receive an invitation from the Chinese side, but wanted to follow French President Ma Croon to visit China and ask von der Leyen, has already staged for Blinken.
It is worth noting that we did not invite von der Leyen because we know that even if von der Leyen comes, it will not play any role in promoting the exchange of Sino-European cooperation. Because von der Leyen, as a vassal of the United States, is to act as the mouthpiece of the United States, responsible for saying some things that China does not like to hear, and in fact, von der Leyen really did this in China. He talked to us about the Taiwan issue and grossly interfered in China's internal affairs.
Between Blinken's visit to China and von der Leyen's visit to China, there are also some characteristics in common: first, he may say something that China does not like to hear, and second, he does not really want to promote Sino-US relations. Viewed in light of the recent series of US moves, it was another announcement of arms sales to Taiwan, another welcoming to Tsai Yingwen's visit to the United States, and even Speaker of the US House of Representatives McCarthy even received Tsai Yingwen.
The United States has stepped on our red line with great precision in these series of moves. Of course, the United States will not be ignorant, but the United States knows that you and China will be unhappy, and it has no choice but to do so. This shows that the current Sino-US relationship is not a suitable time for dialogue, and even if Blinken comes, he will not solve the core interest problem that we really care about. There is no way to promote Sino-US relations, and this meeting may not be effective, so at this time, it is no longer necessary for Blinken to come to China, because of this, Blinken never received an invitation from the Chinese side.
However, ironically, the United States, which has pushed Sino-US relations to this point, is still in front of the international community, pretending to be actively seeking dialogue with China. Blinken also said at the reporter's meeting that it is very important to continue to seek a channel with China. However, in reality, if the United States really wants to promote dialogue with China and really feels that it is very important, it should not always do something that undermines Sino-US relations and affects the normal exchanges between China and the United States. If the United States had not repeatedly touched our red line, how could we have closed some important ditches? Therefore, in the matter of maintaining a gap between China and the United States, the United States does not have the right to speak and does not deserve the right to speak.
