As we all know, the friction between China and the United States has a long history, the United States suppressed and contained China as early as the Cold War, and Sino-US relations have always been the focus of people's attention, and the attitude of the US president towards China is also one of the factors influencing the fluctuation of Sino-US relations.
Obama is a special one of the previous presidents of the United States, he is the first black president in the history of the United States.
In 2009, when Obama announced that he would visit China shortly after taking office, he also expressed excitement and anticipation in his speech, and the report attracted the attention of countless people, everyone wanted to see what the new US president's attitude towards China was.
Rewind the picture to 2009, what was the purpose of Obama's visit to China, and what were the consequences?
Obama was inaugurated as President of the United States
Obama is the leading figure of the Democratic Party, and in November 2008, he was selected from a crowd of presidential candidates and almost landslided to the 44th term of the United States.
However, as soon as he took office, he had a "legacy problem" that gave him a great headache, that is, during the term of office of the previous president, due to mismanagement and other factors, the people of the United States were once miserable, the defense expenditure was huge, and the people at the bottom lived in hardship.
The subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2008 made matters worse, making the situation even worse for the entire country.
At that time, many people thought that George W. Bush would make a decision on these matters and save the people from fire and water, but George W. Bush was not a responsible president, he waited for the end of his term of office, retired successfully, and left all these messes to the next president.
So when Obama first took office, the United States was in chaos, and he used various means to alleviate the pressure of debt, and also solved some problems, helping the unemployed and unemployed to find jobs, and so on.
But it is difficult to return, and his strength alone is really insignificant, so Obama thought of China at this time.
At that time, a considerable part of the foreign debt owed by the United States was Chinese, and China was the creditor of the United States.
Obama took office in November 2008 and began preparing for a visit to China in 2009 in an attempt to seek assistance and borrow money from China to overcome domestic difficulties.
The announcement of his visit to China was very high-profile
After deciding to visit China, Obama first strongly expressed his desire to visit China at various press conferences, and then ordered his presidential team to widely publicize and report on the incident to spread the news.
In order to gain China's favor, Obama also made great efforts, not only gushing in his speech, saying that he was very interested in China, but also reciting Chinese poems and quoting scriptures.
When he was almost ready for the early stage, he officially began his visit to China. Since his brother is in Shenzhen, Obama set the first stop of his visit to China.
At that time, reporters filmed the intimate interaction between the two brothers in front of the camera, and after the video was released, many people thought that Obama and his brother were close brothers and got along very well.
After leaving Shenzhen, the group went to Shanghai again. The meeting in Shanghai can be called the "highlight" of Obama's visit to China, and American politicians are even more ready to make a move and knock on the side of the meeting.
In his speech, Obama said that he suggested that China pursue a policy of appreciating the renminbi, adding that this would be beneficial to China. But as soon as this proposal was put forward, some people saw the flaw, Obama claimed to be thinking about China, but in fact he was digging a hole for China to make his own profits.
The appreciation of the renminbi will bring about a series of butterfly effects, the appreciation of the renminbi, the difficulty of China's exports will increase, and China is still a creditor of the United States at that time, so the debt owed by the United States will also be greatly reduced.
Looking at it this way, the United States is really very cunning and has a sweet mouth.
So we didn't agree with Obama's suggestion, so he didn't have a plan, and he made another plan.
Obama also mentioned the situation in the Asia-Pacific region and emphasized the Taiwan issue, saying that he is in favor of resolving the Taiwan issue by peaceful means. Was Obama's rash mention of the Taiwan issue at the meeting out of good intentions?
Not. I'm afraid he won't believe it himself, because the United States violated the mainland's territorial waters many times at that time, so Obama's sworn appearance, saying one thing and doing another, is really hypocritical.
Suspicion continues
At the end of a meeting, neither party reached an agreement, so the meeting will be renegotiated at another time.
In accordance with the usual practice and the protection of the personal safety of the President of the United States, we arranged for Obama to live in the most secure hotel at that time, but Obama did not appreciate it.
The first thing he did when he entered the hotel was to take out a tent and set it up in his room, and he and his politicians got into the tent before they began to talk.
It can be seen that Obama was "well prepared" before he left, and he never trusted China from the beginning to the end, and lived like a gentleman, thinking that we would install eavesdropping equipment in our rooms, and talk to our subordinates and get into tents made of special soundproofing materials.
Not only that, once out of the tent, the suspicious US president had to ask people to turn off all the lights in the room, and not even turn on the lights for washing, for fear that if there was a camera in the room, someone would see what he was doing.
Originally, the purpose of the meeting between the two countries was to discuss how to achieve a win-win situation and strengthen cooperation.
But Obama did not appreciate it, and he was always on guard, not only digging holes everywhere at the meeting waiting for us to jump, but also guarding everywhere after the meeting was over.
Moreover, at that time, Obama also said that he would not curb China's development, but later, in his personal biography, he said that "the United States did not seize the opportunity to contain China's development at that time", revealing a sense of regret between the lines, which also shows that this person is scheming, inconsistent on the outside, hypocritical and fickle.
epilogue
Sino-US relations have always attracted considerable attention in international relations, and as we mentioned earlier, the US president's attitude toward China is also one of the factors affecting Sino-US relations.
Combined with Obama's actions, as well as the attitudes of US presidents before and after him, almost all of them are to fight containment.
Whether it is Obama's various actions during his visit to China, or the trade war launched by Trump later, or Biden's various suppressions later, it can be seen that the United States is trying its best to contain China's development.
However, China's development is in our own hands, we have always opposed unilateralism and hegemonism, we are not afraid of power, we focus on our own development while helping other developing countries develop.
And the various sanctions of the United States can only express the fear and weakness of the United States. The cultivation of a friendly relationship requires the joint efforts of both parties, and if you only think about how to calculate and how to carry out intrigues, you will not gain a real partner.
