Not long ago, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China aroused widespread concern and speculation. Initially, it was widely believed that he had arrived with an important task that required unilateral compromise by China. However, after the meeting, the attitude of the United States suddenly changed, and their actions showed that they did not get the results they expected.
The shift dates back to June 20, when the U.S. president, meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, publicly criticized China with an impressive rhetoric. In China, Blinken claimed that the balloon incident had subsided, but the Biden administration once again hyped up the incident, claiming that China was embarrassed. At the same time, on the second day of Blinken's visit to China, the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Reagan and two warships continued to operate in the South China Sea, and formed a "three-carrier" lineup with Japan's Izumo, forming an obvious provocation.
Even more ironically, during this period, the USS Stratton of the US Coast Guard crossed the Taiwan Strait, and unlike before, this time it was not a US Navy ship, but a US Coast Guard vessel, although less threatening, but more insulting.
In addition, the United States has actively arrested Chinese citizens in various places, and two Chinese citizens were recently convicted in the United States, and although detailed details have not been released, the Chinese side responded that cracking down on transnational crime and international fugitive recovery is a just move. However, the US side ignored this fact, smeared and slandered China's fugitive recovery work, and even used judicial means. That sparked a stern reaction from the Foreign Ministry, describing the United States as a "paradise for criminals."
More outrageous, however, came when the U.S. Department of Justice filed criminal proceedings against four Chinese companies and eight individuals for allegedly illegally manufacturing and trafficking chemicals used in the manufacture of fentanyl. It marks the first time the United States has sued a Chinese company for fentanyl, and two of them have already been arrested. The seemingly well-planned incident was actually a U.S. entrapment operation that began last November, with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration pretending to be a buyer in contact with someone involved in a Chinese company and buying large quantities of precursor chemicals. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has repeatedly linked legitimate precursor chemicals to fentanyl, lured Chinese executives to Fiji for negotiations, and then arrested the two on June 8. The U.S. government then announced high-profile criminal charges against Chinese companies and individuals, highlighting U.S. long-arm jurisdiction.
However, the U.S. accusations and entrapment operations are inherently bizarre. Fentanyl is a drug, but it is considered a drug in the United States. In fact, the United States has its own opioid abuse problem, and the government has been trying to blame China. However, the root cause of the drug epidemic in the United States lies with the United States itself, which consumes 80% of the world's opioids without taking permanent measures to regulate fentanyl as a whole. In contrast, China played a positive role in preventing the illicit manufacture and abuse of fentanyl by taking measures to control the entire class of fentanyl-like substances in 2019, with the United States as the country benefiting the most. The US government's choice to dump China is not only irresponsible, but also absurd.
On the whole, the hysteria displayed by the United States in a series of actions did not bring the results Blinken's trip to China as expected. The differences between China and the United States are structural and difficult to reconcile. As a result, China may need to put aside its moral fetishes and find more game-breaking ways to deal with its differences with the United States.
