Recently, the plot of the Sino-US game has ushered in a climax again, as if the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster is gradually unfolding. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to China has been seen by some observers as a "messenger of peace," but as the incident progresses, the visit seems more like a teaser full of gunpowder.

Not long ago, Blinken concluded his visit to China. Before the visit, the US secretary of state made tough remarks in front of the US media, appearing extremely tough. On the surface, the visit was intended to ease tensions between China and the United States, but in fact, Blinken's visit had many deep meanings.
According to foreign media, Blinken has threatened that if China does not play according to the rules of the game of the United States, the United States will consider excluding China from the dollar payment system, which is undoubtedly a heavy punishment card. At the same time, Blinken also threatened to strengthen policy support for the Taiwan Strait region, which is obviously a direct provocation to China.
In contrast to Blinken's aggressiveness, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's response was calm and firm. Foreign Minister Wang clearly expressed the current situation and prospects of China-US relations, and he has not been shaken by the toughness of the United States.
Wang Yi pointed out that although the stability of China-US relations has been improved, the negative factors have not been substantially alleviated. This kind of straightforward statement undoubtedly gave Blinken a head start, and pointed directly to the core issue of China-US relations.
After Blinken returned home, he didn't stop there. He has publicly expressed support for Taiwan's participation as an observer in World Health Organization meetings, an act that goes beyond the conventions of diplomatic protocol and openly challenges China's sovereignty. In response, the Chinese Foreign Ministry reacted quickly, reiterating the one-China principle and stressing that the Taiwan issue is part of China's core interests and brooks no challenge.
In the plot of this Sino-US game, Russian international affairs expert Vasily Kashin also provided unique observations. He warned that the U.S. move is actually testing China's bottom line, and Blinken's every step is fraught with red flags.
According to Vasily's analysis, the United States seems to be prepared for a conflict with China after Blinken's visit, and Blinken's visit is more like a final test for a possible conflict ahead.
From hard power to diplomatic strategy, the contest between the two powers of China and the United States is everywhere. The repeated provocations of the United States and China's calm response constitute a complex picture of international relations. In such a situation, any small spark can ignite the lead to a full-scale conflict.
However, China's strategic determination and patience have made the game even more confusing. Although China is reluctant to easily provoke trouble, it does not mean that it will back down in the face of core interests. The U.S. strategy seems to be to find a breakthrough by constantly testing China's response.
History has proven time and again that confrontation under the Cold War mentality will only hurt both sides. As the world's two major powers, China and the United States should shoulder the responsibility of safeguarding world peace, rather than repeating the tragedy of the Cold War at a new historical juncture.
Although Blinken's visit to China has ended, the thinking left for the world has just begun. Will a conflict break out between China and the United States? Everything is not yet known, but each step should be taken more cautiously by both sides, so as not to mistakenly scatter sparks into a flammable future.
In this regard, netizens responded like this.
No matter what happens, there is a possibility of follow-up if you are stable! Therefore, it is most important for everyone to do what they are doing.
Some netizens said: It's better to talk on paper than to practice on the ground!
But there are also netizens who look inward, thinking that to resist the outside must first be at home.
I wonder what you guys in front of the screen think about this? Feel free to discuss in the comments section below!
Bottom line: The world is taking its breath away from the tension that is slowly rising. It is hoped that China and the United States can find the key to solving the problem, return to the table of dialogue, and jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. After all, peaceful development is the right path for the world.
