Sun Xingjie: At the Meeting of the Meitaiban Store, whose historical moment?

Sun Xingjie: Trump can deliberately meet with Kim Jong -un in Panmunjom, which is the importance and affirmation of Kim Jong -un, and will greatly enhance Kim Jong -un's influence at home and abroad.

The US President Trump, who visited South Korea, went to the North Korea -South Korea -African military region accompanied by the South Korean President Moon Jae -in. By the way, he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong -un.At the invitation of Kim Jong -un, President Trump crossed the 38th line.The common opinion of the US, North Korea and South Korea leaders is that this is a historic moment.Who is the historic moment that surprised the world this time?

After arriving in South Korea, Trump sent a tweet, hoping to meet Kim Jong -un with Kim Jong -un on the border of North Korea and South Korea, just to hold a hand and say hello.One day later, the two leaders with their own drama met at Banmen Store.Under the long guns of the media, Kim Jong -un invited Trump to cross the 38th line and walked more than 20 meters towards North Korea.Although the content of the negotiations between the two parties was not new, they made a lot of attention, because the meeting merged the most explosive time, space, and events.It must be said that Trump and Kim Jong -un are super actors on the world's diplomatic stage, especially when they talk, sort out the suspense plot again.

Kim Jong -un confirmed that he also received the information that Trump wanted to meet the day before the morning, and the two parties only confirmed the meeting through official channels in the afternoon.This seems to be rumoring, because there are many speculations in the outside world, thinking that the two parties have long communicated and made more preparations for the meeting.Trump also cooperates more, thanks Kim Jong -un for being able to meet.He himself also wanted to post a tweet. If Kim Jong -un did not show up, Trump would lose face.The cooperation between Kim Jong -un and Trump was very tacit, creating a encounter.

However, this encounter has risen to a historic height by the US, North Korea, and South Korea.It can be said that the flexibility of leading diplomacy has been above the conventional thinking of professional diplomacy.

For Trump, crossing the 38th line itself has created history, and no United States has access to Pyongyang in President, and it does not need to say that it has crossed the 38th line.Trump's businessmen have told him that even bad news has a good publicity effect, let alone historic news?Although Trump said that he could say hello to Kim Jong -un, what he wanted was not the breakthroughs of the United States and North Korea through this meeting, but a reality show that was extremely concerned about the world.Last month, Trump announced the pursuit of re -election and officially launched the unveiling battle of the election campaign.The current polls show that Trump's support is not high. Although he and the team do not care about polls, Trump still hopes that his support rate can be at least 50%.

What is the most significant diplomatic score in Trump?The main thing that can be said is the Korean Peninsula.The Peninsula issue can be said to be the harvester of Trump's political achievements, creating one historic first one after another.Last year, the Singapore meeting was the first time that the United States had met with North Korea's leaders in the president, but the next Hanoi Summit encountered a lot of setbacks because the structural and strategic contradictions between the United States and North Korea could not be resolved by the summit meeting.For Trump, maintaining the status quo is also acceptable. At least in the past year, North Korea has not launched a long -range missile launch and no nuclear test.To some extent, the North Korean nuclear problem is frozen.This deadlock is unacceptable to North Korea, because the US severe sanctions on North Korea did not relax, and Kim Jong -un also stated in April that North Korea will wait until the end of the year.

Trump shook hands with Kim Jong -un and crossed the 38th line, and the income was far more than just holding a hand and saying hello.The first layer of income is the image of the US president who consolidates Trump as the most important US Peninsula issue since the end of World War II.Political achievements are Trump's re -election chips. In 2016, he could destroy the world's world. In the 2020 election, he was the creation.The second layer of benefits is to maintain the current situation of US -DPRK relations. By consolidating the private relationship with Kim Jong -un, the peninsula is basically stable.The third layer of revenue is to show the absolute dominance of the United States on the Korean Peninsula, crossing the 38th line from the side of South Korea.The United States is dominant in the three -party relationship between the United States and North Korea.

For South Korean President Moon Jae -in, no matter what Trump and Kim Jong -un can talk about, as long as they can meet, Wen Zaiyin is the winner.Wen Zaiyin's main role in diplomacy is to promote the Meeting of the United States and North Korea leaders. He seems to have never got rid of the role of the agent.This time, the US -North Korea leaders held a meeting at the Freedom House on the Korean side of Banmen Store. Although Wen Zaiyin could not attend the talks, under the guidance of Wen Zaiyin, Trump went to Banmen Store.The leaders of the United States and the North Korea and South Korea walked out of the venue together, which was already a very big sense of existence for Wen Zaiyin.South Korea is looking forward to the three meetings of the United States, North Korea, and South Korea, and I look forward to a Declaration of Final War.

Although Kim Jong -un knew the news the day before, he still fully explained the historical significance of the meeting.Banmen Store is a symbol of division of north and south, and also represents the history of the past. At this place, the meeting shows that the United States and North Korea have the willingness to end the unfortunate history, and at the same time open a new future.Kim Jong -un is also willing to create good news that everyone has never expected through the strong relationship between the leaders of the United States and North Korea, and promote the development of US -DPRK relations.

For Kim Jong -un, a meeting with Trump stated that North Korea has ranked among the diplomacy of great powers.The issues that have received more attention from the G20 summit include Sino -US economic and trade issues, Iranian nuclear issues, and the Korean Peninsula issue.Trump can deliberately meet with the North Korean leaders at the Panmunjom, which is the emphasis and affirmation of Kim Jong -un in itself, and will greatly enhance Kim Jong -un's influence at home and abroad.The Hanoi Summit was a great settlement for Kim Jong -un. This time, Trump came to the North Korean house to meet and invited Kim Jong -un to visit the White House on the spot to offset the small frustration brought by the Hanoi Summit.

The leaders of the United States and North Korea talked for more than 40 minutes, and the consensus reached was to restart the Nuclear negotiations.From the perspective of diplomatic processes, this is just to repair the negative impact of the Hanoi Summit and return to the basic consensus of the Singapore Summit.A major change may occur in contact and consultation at the level of professional diplomats, which are responsible for the representatives of American Korean affairs and Cui Shanji, deputy prime minister of North Korea.As for whether this agreement can be reached, it is not what this summit meeting.

The Banmenjian meeting can be said to be a drama without lines.Because it is a show, giving outsiders more speculation and interpretation.As for any changes, the people in the bureau don't care, they want the historical moment of world -renowned attention.
