According to Shangguan News reports, in recent days, Sino-US relations have once again attracted global attention! Within four days, Han Zheng, Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi, three senior Chinese officials, met with U.S. climate envoy Kerry. This is also Kerry's second visit to China after 5 months, which sends an unusual signal to the outside world.
Three senior Chinese leaders spoke successively
While China's climate envoy Xie Zhenhua was meeting with Kerry in Tianjin, Han Zheng, Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi received Kerry by video.
Han Zheng said that both China and the United States should work on global climate change based on relevant agreements. At present, the climate issue is an important area of Sino-US cooperation, which must be based on the principle of mutual trust, so it is hoped that the United States can create favorable conditions for cooperation between the two countries.
Kerry responded that China and the United States should establish the necessary engagement on climate issues to jointly meet the challenge. The United States recognizes China's efforts on climate issues and is willing to strengthen exchanges with China to jointly address global climate threats.
Yang Jiechi expressed dissatisfaction with the frequent us efforts to smear China in recent days. Yang Jiechi said that the US interference in China's internal affairs and smear of China's behavior have plunged Sino-US relations into a quagmire, and the Chinese side opposes this. The damage to Sino-US relations will not benefit both sides, so it is hoped that the two countries can respect each other, and hope that the United States will correct its erroneous attitude toward China as soon as possible and strive to push Sino-US relations to normal development at an early date.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the main responsibility for the freezing point of Sino-US relations lies with the United States. If normal relations between the two countries are to be restored, the United States should stop viewing China as an adversary and stop smearing China. As for the issue of global cooperation, unilateralism should not be pursued, but should be carried out from the perspective of fairness and mutual respect.
In four days, three senior Chinese officials met with U.S. envoys, which successfully attracted global attention. As the world's two major powers, changes in Sino-US relations will affect the entire world pattern at any time. Therefore, the successive high-level dialogues between China and the United States are sending an unusual signal to the outside world. The United States intends to seek cooperation with China on climate issues, but China's attitude is also very clear, and if it is to make cooperation smooth, the United States must first correct its attitude towards China, and cannot mix political factors against China.
The attitude of the US envoy changed 180 degrees after the meeting
Just when everyone thought that this time a number of Chinese high-level people met with Kerry, they could express their sincerity to the United States, and the relations between the two countries could usher in a certain change, but the United States did not think so. In an interview at the end of the talks, Mr. Kerry changed his attitude, calling for China to put more effort into climate issues. Such an attitude directly makes the Chinese people think that he did not come to China to talk about cooperation, but to teach us how to do things.
You know, China has made great contributions to environmental protection and emission reduction in recent years, and has been unanimously praised by the international community, and even the German Chancellor has said that the climate problem is inseparable from China's strength. On the contrary, the United States claims to pay attention to environmental protection, but what is the actual action?
Remember that when the Japanese government wanted to discharge nuclear wastewater, causing public outrage, the United States not only did not oppose it, but also praised Japan for doing a good job. Later, after understanding, it was learned that the United States itself had already discharged sewage into the ocean, and many nuclear debris had sunk on the seabed. Is this the so-called environmental protection power? While the United States is destroying the environment, it is also demanding that China pay more, which is really enough to double the standard.
This is not the first time that the United States has targeted China on the topic of environmental protection, and this summer, when the United States experienced extreme heat, anti-China people actually imposed the responsibility on China. They believe that China has eaten too much animal meat, resulting in an expansion of the farmed area and occupying the rainforest. The US side also proposed that Chinese eat less meat and can use artificial meat instead.
Everyone knows very well that Americans are good at eating beef, and the consumption is not smaller than that of China, and the topic of eating meat is to leave themselves alone. And when it comes to rainforests, Chinese the afforestation industry has not stopped at all in recent years. In a portrait of global greening intercepted by early satellites, international people have proposed that the global green vegetation is slowly expanding, and China has played an active role.
China is well aware of the importance of environmental protection, naturally does not need the United States to point fingers, if the United States really cares about climate issues, it should first improve itself.
A large number of South Koreans have proposed that climate issues be included in the election agenda
The earth is for all of humanity, and every nation has an obligation to protect it. In a poll before the current South Korean election, 90 percent of South Koreans have raised the issue of climate issues to the election. Poll results show that 64.6% of South Koreans believe that the most serious climate problems at the moment are warming, heavy rains, etc., followed by floods, wildfires and so on. When it comes to the main party responsible for solving these problems, most South Koreans feel that it is the Korean government, followed by businesses to individuals. In addition, more than 73 percent of South Koreans feel that the country's performance in dealing with climate issues is significantly lagging behind other countries.
Climate change has long become one of the topics of international attention, of course, to deal with this problem requires the cooperation and efforts of all mankind, rather than relying solely on individual major countries. More importantly, the actual actions of countries must be consistent with verbal commitments, and they cannot say that they attach importance to it and at the same time help for their own interests.
