On April 26, Blinken held a meeting with Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing, and Foreign Minister Wang Yi made a very rare remark to Blinken on the China-US issue, and at the same time expressed China's attitude towards China-US relations.
Everyone knows that Blinken's visit to China is as bad as Yellen's, but when Yellen visited China, the United States only conducted a simple four-nation maritime military exercise, but Blinken's visit to China The United States made a great disturbance in the South China Sea, not only jointly launched a joint military exercise with the Philippines with a scale of 17,000 people, but also deployed a medium-range missile system in the Philippines.
This series of targeted displays of force is all about the United States exerting pressure on China and building momentum for Blinken's visit to China. As a matter of fact, these Yankees still do not understand that no matter how much the United States uses force to deter, it is not as effective as calmly communicating at the negotiating table.
Blinken may not think that the pressure exerted by the United States on China is not enough, so before flying to Beijing, he posted on social media that he would have direct face-to-face talks with the Chinese side, and claimed to talk to the Chinese side about military aid to Taiwan!
China will not budge an inch on the issue of sovereignty!
Before Blinken left for China, the U.S. Congress passed a $95 billion aid bill, which included some content on U.S. assistance to the Taiwan region.
China has always adhered to a principle in its foreign policy, that is, the sovereignty issue will not be conceded an inch, and everything else can be used for negotiations.
The Chinese have experienced a history of humiliation in modern times, and the issue of sovereignty and territory is an untouchable reverse scale engraved in the bones of every Chinese, and with the experience of losing power and humiliating the country for nearly a hundred years, all Chinese are particularly sensitive to sovereign territory!
After the United States announced its military aid to Taiwan, China has always wanted to take tough measures against the United States, but now Blinken naively wants to negotiate with China on the issue of arms sales to Taiwan?
This is obviously an attempt to force China to make concessions on the Taiwan issue, but when it comes to sovereignty issues, China is bound to not give an inch, and arms sales and aid to Taiwan have always been the red line of the Taiwan issue.
No matter what the purpose of Blinken's remarks is, China's attitude has always been clear and firm, so after the conversation between Blinken and Wang Yi began, Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned Blinken very clearly and clearly not to step on the red line.
That is, do not interfere in China's internal affairs, do not suppress China's development, and do not step on China's red lines involving China's sovereignty, security and development interests!
Foreign Minister Wang Yi's remarks directly set the tone for the talks, completely dispelled Blinken's idea of making a fuss about military aid, and firmly expressed our position on the Taiwan issue.
Why are US politicians aggressive in their visits to China?
Nearly every politician visiting China, from Janet Yellen to Blinken, has to make an aggressive statement before coming to China, and the U.S. military will cooperate with them in a series of military operations.
In fact, showing force to increase bargaining chips has always been a means of negotiation for the Americans, and Blinken's visit to China also came with his purpose, Blinken said in an interview with the media before his visit to China that he came to China for three major purposes, one is to make progress on key issues, the second is to exchange attitudes between the two sides on many issues, and the third is to achieve military communication and exchanges, so as to avoid leading to conflict and miscalculation!
In fact, judging from the frequency of official communication between China and the United States today, the second and third points are purely a high-sounding reason, and the first is to make progress on key issues is the main purpose of Blinken's visit to China.
So what does this key issue include? Does it include persuading China to buy US bonds or at least asking China to stop selling US bonds on a large scale? Another example is to make some harsh remarks on the Sino-Russian issue and persuade China not to give Russia trade and economic help? Or even to persuade China to lay out the layout of the new energy industry and give up the so-called "excess capacity"? In short, Blinken's visit to China came with appeals!
In view of the three major objectives of Blinken's visit to China, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also put forward five goals for China-US relations before Blinken's visit, among which China put the first article to establish a correct understanding, which is a disguised reminder to the United States to put itself in a correct position, not to do something that it should not do, and not to put itself in a high position!
Obviously, whether it is the three major demands of Blinken's visit to China or the five goals of China's relations, it is difficult to achieve them in the current environment of the Sino-US game, as long as the United States still regards China as the most powerful competitor or even the number one enemy, it will be difficult for the two countries to achieve win-win cooperation as China hopes!
