On May 28, the National People's Congress passed the decision to formulate the Hong Kong National Security Law on May 28, and US President Trump announced that China uses one country, one system to replace one country, two systems, and announced US sanctions.Program of special status of tariffs.Prior to this, the United States also prepared a visa for some Chinese students and scholars on the grounds of national security.Not long ago, the White House also released the United States' strategic policy on China, pointing out that China has brought multiple challenges to the US economy, values, and national security, and proposed that the Chinese people, land and lifestyle;Promote the prosperity of the United States; maintain peace with strength; expand the influence of the United States.
Obviously, China and the United States have recently started fierce confrontation in the fields of Hong Kong, trade, technology, Taiwan, crown disease, and World Health Organization.There are divergent opinions on the deterioration of Sino -US relations.Some people say that the United States has finally admitted that the policy of contact with China in the past 40 years has failed. Some people say that the United States has officially curbed China, and some even claim that the new Cold War between China and the United States has started.
The contradiction between China and the United States has a long history, and the populism of both affairs autumn has risen, which has caused contradictions to intensify.He also met the emotional president of Trump, facing the pressure of poor resistance and economic crisis. It is not surprising to take Chinese cards before the election and take irrational behavior.
Although many people criticized Trump's foreign conservative and isolated, and withdraw from international organizations to shirk leadership responsibilities, in fact Trump's U.S. priority policy goal is in line with his former policy goals.The so -called guns hit the head, China's rise is a fact, and China's diplomacy is aggressive. No matter who is the US president, it will try to suppress China and prevent China from surpassing the United States.The former President Barack Obama's strategy to return to Asia at the time of office is also aimed at China.
It is accurate and realistic to define US -China relations as a competitive relationship with China and China.The report mentioned that competition will not inevitably lead to confrontation and conflict.The report also said that the United States does not seek to curb China's development and will not get out of contact with the Chinese people.The United States maintains an open attitude towards constructive, result -oriented, and unanimous interests.In fact, these claims China is acceptable.
Interestingly, when it comes to the Taiwan issue, the report reiterates a Chinese policy in the United States and an unofficial relationship with Taiwan. At the same time, it emphasizes that the United States advocates that cross -strait differences must be resolved in peacefully and respect the people's wishes of the people on both sides of the strait.If you really want to respect the people's wishes, how can Taiwan independence be realized?Most people in mainland China probably do not agree to Taiwan as a country independent of China.
The question between China and the United States is not to be decoupled or whether it will fight the new Cold War, but China is revealed. There is no rules for the United States to deal with China's rise, and at the same time, it is constantly challenging the bottom line of the Chinese government.For example, a series of Taiwan -related bills in the United States recently include the Taiwan Travel Law and the Taipei Act, which has greatly enhanced US -Taiwan relations.The Trump administration firmly supports the Taiwan Democratic Party authorities and continues to sell against Taiwan.The Secretary of State Pompeo and a large number of senior officials and members of parliament published a congratulatory congratulations to Cai Yingwen's re -election and publicly called her Taiwan President.The director of the Taipei Office of the United States at the Taiwan Association, the director of the Taipei Office, went to Taoyuan to investigate the baseball epidemic prevention work in early May. He suggested to Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan that the Chinese professional baseball in Taiwan was changed to Taiwan professional baseball, and he boldly guided Taiwan to de -Chineseization.Pompeo and others also deliberately provoked the separation and tried to distinguish the CCP from the Chinese people.
Former British diplomats and Professor Brown, Dean of the Chinese Research Institute of the King of London, recently wrote an article on Oxford Political Reviews, criticizing some of the western people to distinguish between the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people.He pointed out that the CCP has been established for nearly 90 years and has changed from the Revolutionary Party to a ruling party, which is already part of Chinese society.The boundary between more than 90 million members of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people is blurred, because the Communist Party members are also typical Chinese people.If the evil label is posted to the CCP, it is actually a label to a considerable number of Chinese people.Like other countries, some Chinese support the government, some oppose, and most people are between the two.It is said that most of these silent people are suppressed and have no subjective initiative, and they are a kind of arrogant thinking.
Some people think that if Bayeng won in the US presidential election in November this year, US -China relations will improve.This is the fantasy of wishful thinking.Just look at the recent speech of Biden, and know that this is impossible.For example, Biden said that the United States should ascend to a call, leading countries around the world to condemn China through the Hong Kong National Security Law.Now the United States Republican Democratic Democracy is highly different. The only consensus is tough for China.The election year is even harder to compare who is to China.
In the short term, Sino -US relations may not be improved, which is really worrying, but it will not play a new cold war.The Cold War refers to the comprehensive conflict between the two major US -Soviet camps from 1947 to 1991 in terms of politics, military, diplomacy, economy, and consciousness.At present, China has no willingness to fight against the United States, and the United States does not see that the United States really wants to fight the Cold War in the Chinese strategic policy. Most American allies are not willing to fight against China.There are many contradictions caused by competition between China and the United States, but the links between the two parties are also very close. You have me in you. It is difficult to be completely decoupled. It is even more impossible to fight the Cold War.
