(Beijing Comprehensive News) From the weak economic growth to the changes in high -level personnel adjustment, Chinese official domestic affairs this year are heavy and have only visited abroad for two days.
At the invitation of Russian President Putin, China officially visited Russia in March. He arrived in Moscow on the morning of March 20 and returned to Russia on the morning of March 22.
According to Bloomberg, this is also his only foreign visit this year.If you do not calculate the crown disease period, this is the shortest visit to the shortest visit since he served.
Before the outbreak, Chinese officials, whether the number of visits or staying abroad, was even better than the president of the United States.According to Bloomberg's organizational and analysis of the Chinese official foreign affairs meeting, from 2013 to 2019, he visited 14 times a year.
According to the Eurasian Group's compilation data, former US President Trump visited an average of 12 times a year during his tenure.
Chinese officials are now meeting mainly with foreign politicians in China.So far this year, he has met with representatives from 36 countries including France, Eritrea and the United States in Beijing.In the few years before the outbreak, Chinese officials received an average of 48 dignitaries per year.
Different from the epidemic period, the number of video conferences with foreign leaders is also decreasing: only once this year has been held with the Czech Republic this year.
The decrease in contact between Chinese officials and foreign leaders may be affected in the global influence competition with the United States.Song Wendi, a very resident of the Global China Center in Washington's Atlantic Council, said that Chinese national leaders may now have more urgent things than foreign affairs to be dealt with.
