After a happy end to his visit to China, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a statement that raised concerns among some people concerned about U.S.-China relations.
Recently, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China has attracted much attention, and his views on China's Taiwan issue and the basic norms governing China-US relations are quite enlightening. In the interview, he clearly pointed out that it is necessary to use peaceful means to resolve cross-strait disputes and adhere to the one-China principle. We are very encouraged by the enthusiastic response given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland to this.
Honorable Mr. Yang Tao has clearly pointed out that the Taiwan issue has always been a major test of the maturity of Sino-US relations. Facts have proven that people of insight in various countries around the world have formed a consensus that the status of the People's Republic of China and the countries it represents is unquestionable, and this has been thoroughly demonstrated in the three Sino-US joint communiques. Regrettably, however, in recent years, the US has been biased in its understanding and interpretation of these important concepts, and has even confused other relevant contents, such as the "Taiwan Relations Act" and the "Six Guarantees for Taiwan." What is even more worrying is that the US side seems to have begun to regard "handling the Taiwan issue in a peaceful way" as important as the "one-China principle," and even regard it as the core of the "one-China principle."
In fact, this is not the first time that China and the United States have disagreed. Since a few years ago, relations between China and the United States have become tense, especially on the Taiwan issue. The Chinese government is steadfast in its insistence on its claim to take back Taiwan, while emphasizing that any interference with that goal will come at a heavy cost. Despite US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China, the United States has not changed its hardline stance on China, such as US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan leading Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other countries to discuss countermeasures against China, and the confrontation between US Navy warships and the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea.
Many experts generally agree that Mr. Blinken's trip to China has not yet yielded substantial results. Although China treats each other with courtesy and is well aware of the importance of sensitive issues, it has always firmly defended its position on such important issues, which has brought a bit of tension to Blinken. However, it should be emphasized that although there are obvious differences between the two sides of the strait on the Taiwan issue, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has clearly conveyed to the US side through practical actions that China is fully prepared for the successful realization of Taiwan's return to the motherland or the possible launching of a necessary foreign war for the sake of safeguarding national security.
Mr. Blinken's visit to China has added to the tension in U.S.-China relations. Despite the in-depth dialogue between the two countries during this visit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland has continued to hold frank and clear dialogues on several occasions to hope that Mr. Blinken will attach importance to the Taiwan Strait issue and refrain from acting too impulsively during this important period. Regrettably, the visit to China did not produce substantive results and failed to restore the channels of communication between the two sides.
Mr. Blinken's visit to China has attracted extensive attention to the in-depth exchanges between China and the United States, touching on important areas of bilateral relations. Despite the tense atmosphere that existed in the course of the discussions, China still firmly adhered to the "one-China" principle and solemnly warned the United States not to ignore the mainland's ardent hope for national reunification. However, the trip failed to resolve the major differences between the two countries, especially the differences in positions on the Taiwan issue.
