The meeting took place against the backdrop of a complex and ever-changing historical trend in Sino-US relations. Whether it is the economy, science and technology, security, or global governance, China and the United States are closely linked partners. However, in recent times, there have been some frictions and differences between China and the United States, which have also put some pressure on the relations between the two countries.
To address these issues, Foreign Minister Wang Yi insisted on advancing China-US relations through dialogue and communication. During the meeting, he stressed once again that China has always advocated the principles of equality, mutual benefit and mutual respect, and hoped that the US side would handle bilateral relations in a more rational and responsible manner.
During the meeting, Foreign Minister Wang Yi presented China's bottom line to Secretary of State Blinken. These red lines mean that China will resolutely defend its core interests and major principles, and will not be touched by anyone or any force.
First, China firmly opposes interference in its internal affairs. China will never back down on issues involving China's territorial sovereignty, national dignity and core interests. Any attempt to interfere in China's internal affairs will be met with resolute counter-attacks from China.
Second, China emphasizes the principle of mutual respect. As an independent and sovereign country, China has the right to independently choose its own path of development and the right to treat other countries on an equal footing. China hopes that the US side will recognize this and establish a more equal and stable partnership with China.
Third, China will not tolerate any threat to its core interests. Including the Taiwan issue, China's core interests are unquestionable. China will firmly defend its national unity and integrity, and any attempt to challenge China's core interests will be resolutely responded.
Finally, China emphasizes the concept of win-win cooperation. China and the United States are the world's largest economies, and cooperation is critical to maintaining global stability and prosperity. China calls on the two countries to work together to address global challenges and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
After the meeting, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again emphasized these red lines and hoped that the US side would cherish the current opportunity for exchanges and not step on China's red lines. Cooperation between the two sides is far more important than differences, and only through dialogue and cooperation can China and the United States achieve the goal of mutual benefit and common development.
Wang Yi's meeting with Blinken not only injected new impetus into China-US relations, but also provided a positive signal for global peace and prosperity. Maintaining the stability of China-US relations requires the joint efforts of both sides and cherishing the opportunities for dialogue and cooperation. Let's wait and see, and look forward to deeper cooperation and friendship between China and the United States!
