U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China on the 3rd, China put forward five major goals: first, to establish a correct understanding, second, to strengthen dialogue, third, to effectively manage differences, fourth, to promote mutually beneficial cooperation, and fifth, to share responsibilities as a major country. Among them, in terms of "effectively managing differences" and "shouldering the responsibilities of a major country", Beijing has put forward "clear demands" to the US side on relevant issues for the first time, indicating that China will be more aggressive in the negotiations, and the US side must resolve the "clear demands" put forward by the Chinese side. Since China has put forward "clear demands", it has inspection standards for relevant issues, and the US side must fulfill them.
In terms of "effective management of differences", the Chinese side said that the United States in particular must not touch China's red lines on issues such as the Taiwan region, democracy and human rights, road system, and the right to development, and that China will focus on clarifying its solemn position and making clear demands on issues such as the Taiwan region, economy, trade, science and technology, and the South China Sea. In terms of "shouldering the responsibilities of a major country", the Chinese side said that on the two international hotspot issues of Palestine and Ukraine, the United States should fulfill its international responsibilities and promote a comprehensive ceasefire in the Gaza belt as soon as possible, and China will make clear demands to the United States.
The Taiwan issue has always been China's "first untouchable red line", but the United States has always provoked, touched and even stepped on this red line, ignoring China's repeated solemn warnings. In order to reverse this situation and fight back at the United States' "crossing the red line", China's "clear demands" should include, but are not limited to, that the United States must stop selling arms to the Taiwan region, that it must not send any military personnel to the Taiwan region to train Taiwanese troops, and that US officials and congressmen should not visit the Taiwan region. On the South China Sea issue, China also put forward a clear demand that the US not infringe on China's sovereignty and security, and in the economic, trade, and scientific and technological aspects, put forward a "clear demand" that the issue should not be politicized and the high-quality development of China's science and technology should not be suppressed.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict cannot escape its involvement, and it is trying in vain to dump China and hit China. Beijing demands that the United States earnestly reflect on its responsibilities in these crises, and China will make clear demands on the United States, including immediately stopping the indiscriminate imposition of unilateral sanctions on Chinese companies and individuals, and refraining from turning Ukraine into a problem between China and the United States.
How can Blinken respond to China's clear demands?
