In less than one month, Yellen and Blinken visited China one after another, and returned disappointed after threatening China, both of which proved to the outside world a fact, that is, China is really not afraid of the United States, and the Australian media said bluntly: China is not afraid of the United States, and the United States also knows China's strength, but it is just unwilling to admit it, and the United States' intensified containment of China in the Asia-Pacific region is just pretense.
On the same day that Blinken arrived in Beijing, Putin announced that he would visit China in May, of course, the important topic of Blinken's visit to China is to ask China not to export dual-use products to Russia and not to support Russia. Before Putin's visit to China, a Chinese business delegation visited Crimea to establish a network of automotive technical services and invest in hotels in cooperation with the local government.
The fundamental reason for the Russia-Ukraine conflict is that NATO's eastward expansion continues to squeeze Russia's strategic living space, and one of the reasons why the United States and the West support Ukraine is to help Ukraine recover the Crimean Peninsula. In 2014, Crimea was annexed to Russia, which is very important for both Russia and Ukraine, especially Russia, which is its important outlet to the Black Sea and is predominantly Russian.
The war has been fought for more than 2 years, Russia is getting stronger and stronger, and almost 500,000 Ukrainian front-line soldiers have been killed, and millions of residents have fled Ukraine, so that now Ukraine's defense is insufficient, Zelensky signed a conscription order, and even relaxed the age to 60 years old, and issued an announcement requiring foreign Ukrainian male citizens to return to serve in China.
Although the United States has 60.8 billion US dollars in aid to Ukraine this time, no one thinks that Ukraine can turn around, and failure is only a matter of time. Zelensky also publicly stated that he is willing to negotiate peace, and on the premise of not mentioning the Crimea issue, as for whether it is true or not, it remains to see whether the Geneva Peace Conference can be held as scheduled.
Previously, the United States and Europe have repeatedly put pressure on China, one of the reasons is that China supports Russia, and Russia poses a threat to European security. China did not respond clearly, but before Putin's visit to China, it sent a business delegation to Crimea to inspect investments, which is actually China's statement. China and Russia have normal economic and trade exchanges and do not involve anything else, and Sino-Russian diplomatic relations brook no room for the United States to be ignored.
Blinken's visit to China is aimed at easing bilateral relations and bilateral trade, avoiding misunderstandings and miscalculations, and exchanging views on some sensitive issues. Blinken's visit to China is a unilateral initiative of the United States to seek dialogue with China, and in today's Sino-US game, even if the United States tightens its containment of China, it must consider China's attitude on many issues, and must not step on China's red lines on many issues.
On 26 April, Australia's "Pearl and Stimulus" website published an article entitled "Americans Don't Understand: China Is Not Afraid of the United States," pointing out: Today's United States is doing everything it can to maintain global hegemony, but it is very difficult, and the purpose of the United States to suppress China is because China will threaten the hegemony of the United States, but the United States does not understand that China has that kind of strength, but it does not want to be like the United States, which has always used hegemony to override other countries.
The Chinese are peace-loving, and as they say, what they have always sought is a peaceful rise. But China has not relaxed its vigilance because of this, in fact, China has long been prepared, but they prefer peace, so even if the United States is very jealous of China, but in the face of China, which is similar to the United States, the United States does not dare to force China too much, and the so-called Asia-Pacific strategic encirclement of China is all bluffing and intimidating opponents.
In fact, with China's actual purchasing power at present, it has surpassed China, but the algorithm is different, so the US economic data is very good. However, in fact, the United States' national strength is declining rapidly, the United States is unable to maintain multiple fronts, Europe and the United States cannot easily give up, the Middle East cannot give up, and in the case that the Middle East may be dragged down by Israel, the United States has shown too many small moves in the Asia-Pacific region, winning over Japan, South Korea, Australia, the Philippines and other countries, and provoking these countries, acting as the front line of anti-China, seems to be the pressure of the US army.
However, from US Secretary of Defense Austin taking the initiative to send a video call to the Chinese defense minister, to Blinken's initiative to visit China, it can be seen that the United States must be wary of China, because the United States cannot do anything against China, and the reason why the United States is still showing strength against China abroad is to maintain the face of the world hegemon, and not let the allies see the truth and falsehood, otherwise this team will not be able to lead, but all countries are not stupid, and the weakness of the United States can be seen.
In the current Sino-US game period and the complex international situation, China wants to see a certain country decline peacefully, not to the point of stimulating its dog to jump off the wall, so it is okay to fight a war of words. At present, the main line of Sino-US relations is to fight but not break, and there are conflicts in the economic, trade, and diplomatic fields, but this will not affect the cooperation between the two sides.
The United States has made a lot of small moves or shown toughness against China to maintain the so-called hegemonic face, believing that China is afraid of the United States, and as long as the United States covers its ears and steals the bell in a timely manner, then it will not feel embarrassed.
