Wang Qishans ＂etiquette diplomacy＂ Mexican Foreign Minister EBrad

Early Beijing Yiye

China Vice President Wang Qishan met with another foreign dignitary visiting China on Monday (1st) in Beijing.The two -sided meeting that seemed to be unusual has attracted much attention from public opinion for the past few days.

According to the Chinese official news agency Xinhua News Agency, Wang Qishan met with Mexican Foreign Minister EBrad in Zhongnanhai that day.This brief manuscript of more than 300 words also revealed that the two talked about the 98th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the development of the relationship between China -Mexico relations.CCTV's news broadcast programs also reported related news, and the broadcast time was about one minute.

Chinese national leaders like this are generally reported by Xinhua News Agency and CCTV, and what levels of leaders and how many seconds of lenses have their own specifications and standards.

However, Wang Qishan's meeting with EBrad this time, in addition to Xinhua News Agency and CCTV released news, Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV also rarely reported another report.And revealed more information about the conversation between the two sides, and even broadcast the original sound of Wang Qishan's speech in the meeting.

According to Phoenix Satellite TV, the meeting between Wang Qishan and Ebrad started from a meeting 13 years ago.Wang Qishan was the mayor of Beijing at that time, and Ebrad was the mayor of Mexican City. The two discussed the problems of urban management.

In this meeting 13 years later, Wang Qishan and Ebrad called each other with acquaintances and dear friends.Wang Qishan also told the other party: I was familiar with one after another, and the second time I met was an acquaintance.In 13 years, you have matured, and I have become old. You are engaged in diplomacy. I am now responsible for assisting the chairman to do a little etiquette diplomacy.

Although this information did not appear in the report of the central media, it was not blocked online.As a result, Wang Qishan's conversation, especially a little etiquette diplomacy he said, quickly attracted public attention.

This is the first time that Wang Qishan served as the vice chairman of China ’s national vice chairman, the first publicly explained his role.Looking back at the activities he attended during this time, such positioning is basically in line with the facts.

Seeing from public reports, Wang Qishan is indeed responsible for daily etiquette diplomatic work.For more than a month alone, Wang Qishan and Brazil's Vice President Monan held talks and chaired the China -Pakistan High Commission Meeting.The head of the African delegation of the coordinator meeting, foreign representatives attending the Beijing High -level Conference at the Baku International Forum, and so on.Wang Qishan also went to Harbin to attend the opening ceremony of China's MDASH; the Russian Expo and the Sino -Russian Local Cooperation Forum, and met with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aquimv, who visited China.In addition, he also visited Pakistan, the Netherlands, and Germany, and met with the leaders of these countries.

In other words, Wang Qishan has an average of one or two public diplomatic activities every week, but basically no one is impressed.Objectively speaking, his performance is low -key, but it is also in line with his consistent style of doing things.

However, this is not in line with the expectations of Wang Qishan.With his rich political experience, quite complete resumes, and the huge prestige that has been established over the years, and his current political status in the Chinese Communist Party is second only to the Seven Politburo Standing Committee, people generally expect that after serving as the vice chairman of China, he can be able toContinue to play a prominent role in the field of diplomacy.Because of this, his every move has received special attention.

Especially when the trade frictions that have occurred in the two countries in the past period have become more and more intense. Wang Qishan, who is expected to have the reputation of fire savings, can rescue the rescue again, but so far he has not made it public.

However, this does not mean that Wang Qishan does not do a lot of diplomatic work behind the scenes, nor does it mean that he has not exerted an important influence on Sino -US relations and even China's foreign relations.He talked about Sino -US economic and trade cooperation at the first Bloomberg Innovation Economic Forum in Singapore last November. In January this year, he attended the Davos World Economic Forum calling on the international community to balance the interests of various countries.The outside world has also reported several times that he may come to participate in Sino -US trade negotiations and discuss the phone with US leaders.

Moreover, Wang Qishan's highest diplomatic decision -making agency MDASH; MDASH; the CPC Central Committee Foreign Affairs Working Committee ranked third, second only to the deputy director ... and Li Keqiang, and attended the high -standard central foreign affairs work conference last year, indicating that Wang Qishan is China.One of the main decision makers and executors of foreign affairs.

Wang Qishan's publicly descending his role in China's diplomacy may be in the face of a etiquette statement of foreign guests. Its influence must not be limited by the etiquette positioning of the vice chairman of the state.Ritual diplomacy.
