Recently, there seems to be a "fever of visiting China" in the US political circles, with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Assistant Secretary of State Conda, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other heavyweight officials embarking on a trip to China one after another. However, this series of intensive visits is not motivated by the warming of Sino-US relations or the softening of the US attitude towards China, let alone the expectation of changing China's position. The real goal of the United States is hidden behind an elaborate "diplomatic drama" aimed at consolidating the US-led alliance system and inciting allies to confront China in order to reap the benefits.
The United States is well aware that China is not at the mercy of its policy guidelines or the direction of public opinion. However, the United States has a very strong grip on Western public opinion. As a result, the "big drama" of US officials' visits to China began, ostensibly to send a message to China, but in fact to set the stage for its allies. The United States has declared to the world that we are not seeking conflict, but cooperation, and that China is the "troublemaker" who is bent on pursuing interests and threatening other countries. In this way, the governments of the allies of the United States can not only use this to advocate the "China threat theory" and appease the people at home, but also gain a sense of security by "hugging their thighs" and consolidate their own ruling position. After all, once an ideology is formed, how difficult it is to change. It is obviously easier for the United States to stabilize China and focus on controlling its allies than to change China's mind. Just wave the flag and shout, no need to go into battle yourself.
Looking back at last year, US officials also visited China frequently, but what was the result? The alliance between the United States and Japan has become stronger and stronger, and China's surrounding environment has become more tense. Countries such as the Philippines and Japan are increasingly leaning toward the United States, and their confrontation with China is escalating. Some people wonder: These countries are already US allies, so why does the United States go to great lengths to consolidate its alliances? In fact, the United States is well aware of the truth of "boiling frogs in warm water." If they constantly remind their allies of their "enemies," they will become obsessed with their own affairs and forget about their alliance with the United States. The timely "China threat" by the United States is like a catalyst for these countries to dare to use the United States' momentum to argue with China. The power of slogans should not be underestimated, it can unite the team and inspire the fighting spirit. And those leaders who only care about their immediate interests and have a limited term of office are naturally willing to respond to the call of the United States and "play tricks" with China in a pretending manner.
By consolidating its relations with its allies, the United States actually hides many selfish motives. Those who are familiar with the United States know that the dollar system, geopolitical interests, arms sales orders...... There are too many "small abacus" in the United States to count. Officials visit China every year and reap the rewards every year, which shows the effectiveness of this strategy. The United States is well aware that it is almost impossible to change China, and the real intention of frequent visits to China is to show the rest of the world, especially those countries that have not yet taken a clear side. The "show" of the United States is intended to create a false impression that "China is isolated and helpless, and the United States has allies all over the world" to lure more countries to join its anti-China camp and further consolidate its global hegemony.
In the face of the "visit to China game" of the United States, China needs to keep a clear head, stick to its own position, and not be moved by external interference. On the one hand, China will strengthen exchanges and cooperation with friendly countries, expand its international "circle of friends," and break the US attempt to encircle it; on the other hand, it will enhance its own strength, especially in key technologies and industrial chain security, so as to achieve independence and control, reduce dependence on foreign countries, and enhance its ability to resist external risks. At the same time, China should actively speak out, expose the true face of the United States in instigating confrontation and reaping interests, guide the international community to recognize the essence of US hegemonism, and promote the building of a just and reasonable international order.
