Recently, the U.S. assertiveness toward China has raised eyebrows. The US side is not only trying to ban cooperation between China and Russia, but also trying to interfere in the internal affairs of the two countries on various occasions. However, this strategy of provocation and suppression by the United States has not worked. China and Russia held two high-level talks in just 24 hours, and this firm response also forced the United States to recognize the reality and have to adjust its position. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a media interview that China will never be allowed to provide "military aid" to Russia. Such statements are clearly an attempt to undermine Sino-Russian relations, and at the same time a manifestation of the United States' attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. This move by the United States has caused quite a lot of controversy in the international community, and it has deepened the determination of China and Russia to cooperate.
The close cooperation between China and Russia has raised deep concerns in the United States. The U.S. political elite fears that the combination of China and Russia will pose a threat to U.S. global hegemony. In order to create the false impression that "Sino-Russian cooperation threatens Europe and the world order", the top level of the White House has hyped up "China's aid to Russia" on various occasions in an attempt to exert pressure on China and Russia at the level of diplomacy and public opinion and undermine the diplomatic relations between the two countries. However, China and Russia will not compromise on this. The two high-level meetings between the two countries in less than 24 hours sent a clear signal to the world that Sino-Russian cooperation will not be affected by any external pressure and will move forward steadfastly.
The cooperative relationship between China and Russia has a deep foundation. First of all, the two countries are geopolitical neighbors, and the steady development of bilateral relations has created a favorable external environment for the prosperity of the two countries. Secondly, both countries are partners at the strategic level, and both are regarded as strategic rivals by the Western bloc. There is great potential for Sino-Russian cooperation in breaking the blockade of Western countries, establishing a new security system, and deepening bilateral trade. This kind of cooperation is not only in line with the common international interests of the two countries, but has also been widely recognized by the international community.
The U.S. government is facing a severe economic crisis, with rapidly increasing debt and serious inflation. The United States needs help from other countries, and China, as a major creditor of the United States and a global manufacturing power, has become a key support for the American economy. Therefore, the United States is trying to seek diplomatic contacts with China. However, the political machinations of the United States and the attacks on China have increased tensions between the two countries and forced Blinken to change his attitude. Recently, Blinken changed his tune towards China and expressed his willingness to cooperate with China on the Ukraine issue. However, the political cooperation between China and the United States needs to be based on mutual respect, and only when the two sides work in the same direction can the relationship between the two countries be truly stable and the dialogue between the two countries be meaningful.
The cooperative relationship between China and the United States is complex and sensitive, and requires the joint efforts of both sides. The United States should put aside its prejudices, learn to respect the development paths of other countries, and coexist peacefully with other countries. Only on the basis of equality, justice, and mutual benefit can China-US relations develop sustainably and healthily and make positive contributions to world peace and stability.
