Less than 24 hours after the PLA test-fired the missile, United States political and business representatives collectively asked to meet with Foreign Minister Wang Yi, hoping that China would remain calm and strengthen high-level face-to-face exchanges between the two countries. Foreign Minister Wang Yi also stressed that China and the United States are not adversaries.
Wang Yi met with people from all walks of life in the United States
According to state media reports, on September 25, 2024 local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, had a discussion and exchange with representatives of the National Committee on US-China Relations, the US-China Business Council, the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Aspen Institute, the Asia Society, and the Council on Foreign Relations during the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi first elaborated on China's views on China-US relations.
The most important lesson of the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations is that China and the United States should be partners, not adversaries.
It should be achieved by each other, not by vicious competition.
We should keep our words and do what we do, rather than saying one thing and doing another.
The U.S. side needs to recognize that China also has the right to development. China's development is an opportunity rather than a challenge for United States and the world.
The statement of the United States side is very interesting, and this group of representatives from all walks of life in the United States political and business circles strongly called on China and the United States to strengthen face-to-face exchanges in difficult times.
Both in and out of the words hinted that the Chinese side would remain calm and that the two sides would meet and communicate more often to avoid strategic miscalculations.
"Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet"
Foreign Minister Wang Yi's meeting with United States political and business representatives mainly had two important backgrounds.
The first was the world-shaking test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile by the People's Liberation Army.
At present, after analysis, it has been preliminarily determined that this missile is a mobile Dongfeng-31AG missile.
In our Dongfeng Express family, it is not the strongest model, but it also belongs to the first echelon strategically.
China's test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile in the Pacific Ocean after more than 40 years has made the United States very worried.
The Pentagon was frightened by this, saying that it was fortunate that China had informed in advance, otherwise it would have been very prone to strategic miscalculation.
This shows that the US military itself understands the weight of China's missile.
As United States political and business capital, which is extremely sensitive to the conflict, they learned of the actions of the PLA.
The first time I asked to meet Foreign Minister Wang Yi was obviously with a purpose.
From our point of view, it is obvious that the representatives of United States politics and business are "understanding what they are reasoning and moving what they are feeling".
To China, they expressed their eagerness to hope for a thaw in Sino-US relations and not to have a head-on conflict.
Individual militants in Washington
In addition to the PLA's missile test, a series of problems caused by the United States election have also made United States political and business representatives full of worries about Sino-US relations.
Recently, the Biden administration has introduced a policy to prohibit the use of China's connected car software and hardware in United States.
This means that United States has taken another big step forward on the issue of "decoupling and breaking the chain" with China.
For businessmen who "value peace", this action of the Biden administration not only hurts China's interests.
More importantly, it harms the interests of United States capital and enterprises themselves.
The Biden administration has already done this, so if Trump comes to power in the future, the trade war between China and the United States will be directly raised to a higher level.
Therefore, when facing Foreign Minister Wang Yi, representatives from all walks of life in the United States opened the skylight and spoke brightly.
He stressed that the United States and China have close economic and trade ties, and decoupling is neither possible nor should be.
They are still optimistic about China's future and are willing to seize the opportunity to continue to deepen and develop the Chinese market.
Therefore, the individual militants in Washington now have not only aroused opposition from the vast majority of countries in the world.
Even United States domestic fears that the collapse of United States hegemony will accelerate. Washington will not learn its lesson, and such fears will slowly become a reality.
