Sino-US trade has been in the spotlight for years, and the confrontation between the two countries has never stopped since the trade war began during Trump's administration.
Now there are new actions, there are four major consensuses on trade between the two sides, two major achievements. Following Raimondo's visit to China, Raimondo, the fourth U.S. government official, is undoubtedly more successful than the other three.
During the four-hour long negotiations, the two sides discussed and resolved many issues and reached consensus. What is the significance of Raimondo's visit to China?
Long-term unprovoked sanctions by the United States
The United States has always been a recognized big brother of Western countries, avoiding the threat of others in order to avoid its hegemonic position, and will always show special panic, special anxiety, and even extreme unconfidence.
First, it united with other Western countries to impose sanctions on Russia, until the Russian-Ukrainian war occurred, constantly consuming Russia's national strength and achieving its own goals.
After that, it began to impose tiger sanctions on China, especially the Sino-US trade war during Trump's tenure, after which the United States had no intention of stopping at all, and constantly suppressed and resisted China.
There is always no reason to impose sanctions and unjustifiably undermine the relationship between the two, especially after Biden took office, he directly unilaterally said that he would decouple from China. There are many enterprises in China in the United States, because the US government has launched a series of policies to enter China, which have a serious impact on these enterprises.
In addition, it has also had a great impact on the normal cooperation between China and the United States, among the many unreasonable sanctions, Huawei is a typical example, first instructing the younger brother Canada to directly arrest Meng Wanzhou without a valid reason.
After Canada detained Meng Wanzhou, the United States hoped to transition the other party, so from a series of events, we can see that Huawei's Meng Wanzhou incident is by no means an ordinary private case, which involves more political interests.
The reason why the United States will support Canada and the two jointly seize and control Meng Wanzhou is to impose groundless sanctions on Huawei, China's largest technology and electronics manufacturer, hoping to achieve the purpose of suppressing Huawei and controlling China's scientific and technological development by detaining Meng Wanzhou.
In addition to these, there are many typical examples, the United States launched a series of China policies, indeed have a great impact on China, but also let the US economy gradually decline.
After all, China is the largest exporter of the United States, and if China is unwilling to buy American goods, it will also have a greater impact on the local economy of the United States. So since 2023, the United States has sent many government officials to visit China continuously, including Blinken, Kissinger, and now Raimondo is visiting China again.
The role of Raimondo's visit to China
The fact that the United States will visit China so frequently and for such an intensive period of time shows that the United States has long been unable to withstand the economic blow. Coupled with the fact that the United States has a large amount of local national debt, so it no longer seeks a breakthrough, no longer looks for a way, and there may be an economic collapse.
The only country that can pull the United States is China, which is why the United States visits China so frequently. Raimondo is a more pragmatic U.S. official than previous visitors, and every time he visits China, he will reach friendly relations with China and even promote cooperation.
The same is true this time, Raimondo and Wang Wentao held a forum meeting, held in Shanghai, after more than 4 hours, in the 4-hour negotiations, China and the United States jointly reached 4 consensus.
First of all, it is determined that no matter what problems there are between China and the United States, even if they are very serious and very important, they should be solved by telephone, and the problems should be put on the table to resolve conflicts through peaceful communication.
The second item is related to export control, and the export control information exchange platform is activated to avoid the United States from arbitrarily resisting and suppressing China, which will affect exchanges and cooperation between the two countries. The third consensus is that the two sides should jointly protect the secret mechanism, avoid the disclosure of secrets, and avoid unilateral attacks on China.
The fourth consensus is that a meeting on economic issues will be held once a year to raise various issues related to trade between China and the United States, and then resolve them.
The forum between Raimondo and Wang Wentao plays a crucial role in advancing Sino-US relations. Not only have four consensuses been reached, but two important results that are very recognized have also been studied. Strengthen communication channels between China and the United States.
Once the two sides disagree on this aspect of trade, a joint working group should be consulted. The second result is to avoid politically motivated export controls, which would have serious implications and harm to the two countries.
Epilogue:
Raimondo's visit to China was very successful, and compared with other officials, at least with enough sincerity, did not say all kinds of yin and yang strange words, let alone gave any threats, adhering to the idea of friendly development and good cooperation, negotiating with Chinese officials.
