Recently, a number of US media successively reported that US Secretary of State Blinken is about to get his wish to visit China, but Chinese and US officials have an ambiguous attitude towards this news, and the two sides have neither denied nor affirmed.
At the same time, the US side continues to make unreasonable and unreasonable condemnation of China in many ways, which is really ridiculous, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry has once again responded to the statement about "easing Sino-US relations".
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken
Foreign media said that Blinken is about to visit China
According to media reports such as Bloomberg, CNN and NBC, a person familiar with the matter revealed that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to visit China in the coming weeks. It is expected that Taiwan-related issues will be the focus of Blinken's trip.
In response, Patel, the chief deputy spokesman of the US State Department, responded: At present, Blinken's itinerary will be announced, but if conditions permit, Blinken's visit to China will be rescheduled.
At the same time, at a regular press conference in the United States on June 6, John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator of the White House National Security Council, responded: I think you will see us talking about future visits in the near future, but I don't want to talk about this in advance. In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin also said: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no information that can be provided.

As the top diplomat of the United States, Secretary of State Blinken's visit to China is bound to become an important step in shaping Sino-US relations. Prior to this news, the US State Department's Assistant Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific Affairs Conda and the White House Senior Director for China Affairs at the National Security Council Bersalan have both successfully visited China.
However, it is not difficult to see from the words of the two US spokesmen that there are still some obstacles to Secretary of State Blinken's visit to China, and the perpetrator of these obstacles is the United States itself.

For example, the word "Taiwan-related issue" in the news, the Chinese side has repeatedly affirmed that the "Taiwan issue" is an internal affair of China and does not want any external forces to interfere.
If Secretary of State Blinken is sincerely visiting China with the purpose of easing Sino-US relations, then the United States should immediately stop all manipulation of the "Taiwan issue" instead of putting the "Taiwan-related issue" on the agenda to test China's bottom line.

Absurd denunciations of the United States
Recently, John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator of the White House National Security Council, said that the recent events in the Chinese and American militaries reflect the increasing "aggressiveness" of the PLA, which increases the probability of mistakes in which someone is injured, which is unacceptable to both sides.
Coordinator Kirby's "recent events between the Chinese and American militaries" refer to the interception of U.S. reconnaissance planes by Chinese military planes over the Guide Sea and the forced repulsion of U.S. and Canadian warships by Chinese warships in the Taiwan Strait.
In these two matters, China's military aircraft and warships are completely reasonable and legal in safeguarding their own national rights and interests. On the other hand, the US military planes and warships that come to the gate of China to reconnoiter and flaunt their might from far away are really somewhat ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned.
U.S. Ambassador to China Burns
According to Reuters, on June 7, U.S. Ambassador to China Burns claimed at the US "Global Leaders Alliance Forum" that the Chinese government has increased its scrutiny of five U.S. companies in recent months, namely Micron Technology, Deloitte, Bain, Kaisheng Rongying and Meisi Wise Group, and even made China's domestic key information infrastructure operators stop purchasing Micron products.
Burns also argued that the behavior was directed at U.S. companies and would not happen to companies in other countries. All this is essentially "politically motivated", and from China's point of view, this is an act of retaliation. These actions are wrong, and the United States clearly wants to resist and will fight back.
In the eyes of this writer, Ambassador Burns' speech is not so much about China as about the United States itself. So far, the United States has imposed countless sanctions on China under the pretext of "national security", and countless companies have been affected.
"Politicizing" everything and "targeting" any country that it is "unaccustomed to" is the "specialty" of the United States, and "repaying the eye" is also the character of the United States, and do not try to impose them on China. And how Sino-US relations should improve, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokespeople have stated countless times.
US President Joe Biden
The Foreign Ministry responded to the US side
On June 7, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin issued a solemn statement in which he said: "At present, China-US relations are facing challenges, and the responsibility lies with China."
The US side should earnestly respect China's core interests and major concerns, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, stop harming China's interests, stop calling for communication and exchanges, and wantonly provoke while calling for communication, and stop saying one thing and doing another. We should meet China halfway and return China-US relations to the right track of healthy and stable development.
With the idea of frank exchanges, China has made clear ways to improve Sino-US relations so clear and every sentence reasonable and legal, if the United States is still unwilling to achieve any of the "four stops", then the easing of Sino-US relations may be a pipe dream.
