Scholars: The problem will continue to have a negative impact on Sino -US relations
In response to the "balloon dispute between balloons" in China and the United States, Li Mingjiang, an associate professor at the Nanyang University of Technology, Nanyang University of Technology, said in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao that the US public opinion, especially the political circle, has always criticized the Bayeon government on the balloon incident.For China's weakness, some eagle politicians also use it to increase personal political reputation.
Li Mingjiang predicts that "this problem may continue to have a negative impact on Sino -US relations for a period of time."
When the U.S. government just notified the balloon last Friday (3rd), the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was still milder, but after the United States shot down the balloon, the Chinese official tone immediately turned to protest, and the Chinese netizens' criticism of the United States also changed.It's turbulent.
In this regard, Li Mingjiang judged that this situation will last for a period of time. If Chinese officials forcibly suppress anti -American public opinion, it may cause a fierce rebound in public opinion, because "the Chinese people's anti -American emotions have been in the United States for a long time, and in recent yearsGreat increase. "
He also judged that Wei Fenghe was unwilling to talk to Austin, indicating that China was dissatisfied with the way the United States had handled balloon incidents and did not worry about China's position and interests.On the other hand, China also hopes to put a certain pressure on the United States, hoping that the United States will not expand and upgrade this incident.
However, Li Mingjiang also described the situation of the balloon incident "not big or small", because it did not really threaten the security of the United States, nor did it cause huge losses to China.
He analyzed: "It is a small crisis, but it is a more sensitive event. Therefore, it is necessary to see what kind of conclusions are given after the US investigating the balloon wreckage ...Sign. "
