U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit China in the near future, which is Blinken's second visit to China in less than a year.
However, although the mainland officially announced the incident and welcomed Blinken, there are four details that indicate that Blinken's visit to China may not be smooth.
According to relevant reports by Xinhua News Agency, mainland Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin announced on the 22nd that US Secretary of State Blinken will visit China on April 24 at the invitation of Foreign Minister Wang Yi of the mainland.
However, this time, it is true that US President Biden had asked us to let Yellen and Blinken visit China before, so the mainland gave Biden a face and agreed to the two of them to visit China.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that Yellen's visit to China did not come with the attitude of a friendly visit, but instead made a soft threat to the mainland and made the mainland give up its three major industrial trump cards.
In addition, he also said that the mainland is currently overpowered, and claimed that the United States is very concerned about this matter and hopes that we will give up the development of energy.
Therefore, Blinken's visit to China was not invited by the mainland on its own initiative, but Biden asked for it, and the mainland had no choice but to agree, which can also be seen that the mainland is not looking forward to Blinken's visit to China.
In addition, when announcing the news of Blinken's visit to China, the mainland also announced that Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohammed Mohammed will pay an official visit to China at the invitation of Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Careful netizens can also find that in the two official announcements, the Malaysian Foreign Minister's visit to China to the mainland used the word official, but on Blinken's side, he only said that he would visit China.
It is important to know that there are private visits, official visits, and state visits between countries, and the Chinese visit is the highest standard, and the visited country requires the highest courtesy, followed by the official visit, and the private visit last.
So this time, although there is only a two-word difference between Blinken and Mohammed, it can be imagined that the reception treatment of these two people must be different.
Moreover, the time of the two visits to China is still Mohammed first, Blinken is behind, and the difference in the time of their visits is only one day, which means that two days of their visit to China overlap.
You must know that although the United States' influence in the international arena is gradually declining, we have to admit that it is still the only superpower in the world, and its influence is still very large.
However, it can be seen from the arrangements for the mainland's visit to China that compared with US Secretary of State Blinken, the mainland attaches more importance to Malaysia's Foreign Minister Mohammed.
It is not difficult to see from these aspects that Blinken's visit to China will not be too smooth, and if Blinken, like Yellen, wants to force the mainland to do things that harm the interests of the mainland, then his visit to China will definitely be fruitless.
The mainland has previously stated that it welcomes personnel from other countries to visit the mainland, and that only through friendly communication can the fundamental problems be resolved.
However, if the United States, like the United States, always demands that the mainland do this and that with a domineering attitude, then the mainland will certainly not continue to accompany it.
Visiting other countries has always been a very practical way of diplomacy between the two countries, which can enhance friendly relations and promote the development of cooperation between the two countries, but such things require the two sides to communicate from an equal perspective.
Therefore, if the United States really wants to ease relations with the mainland, then it needs to show due sincerity, refrain from interfering in the mainland's internal affairs, refrain from provoking the mainland, and refrain from imposing unwarranted sanctions on mainland companies.
Before Blinken's visit to China, the mainland had already given the US side a precautionary shot, and this visit to China must not sow discord between China and Russia, and it must stop arming the mainland and Taiwan.
You must know that the United States has repeatedly interfered in the normal cooperation between the mainland and Russia, which has had a bad impact on the cooperation between the two countries.
In addition, the United States has always interfered in the mainland's internal affairs, repeatedly provoked the mainland on the Taiwan Strait issue, and even repeatedly stated that the United States hopes that the status quo in the Taiwan Strait will always be maintained.
The mainland resolutely opposes such an act of the United States, saying that the Taiwan Strait issue is an internal affair of the mainland and has nothing to do with the United States, so they have no right to point fingers at the Taiwan Strait issue.
And the problem of China's overcapacity that Yellen said during her previous visit to China, I hope that this time when Blinken comes, we will not mention it again, we know very well whether China's energy capacity is too excessive, not surplus, but not enough.
Therefore, if Blinken's visit to China still comes with such an unchanged attitude, then it cannot be ruled out that the mainland will completely focus on the Malaysian foreign minister in the next few days.
