Yang Danxu: Chinas policy on the United States is still swaying?

Early new tone of sea cavity

Sino -US relations have fallen into the freezing point for decades, and continue to visit lower points. How can China respond and what exactly is the US policy?The recent signal seems a bit complicated.

Last month, many heavyweight Chinese diplomats such as Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi frequently expressed their expressions on the issue of Sino -US issues, and it seemed to tend to ease the beauty.At that time, China and the United States had just experienced the thrilling closed storm. From the political, diplomacy, economy, technology and other fields, the United States had an unprecedented intensive situation of attacking Beijing. The two sides were also tense in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. The risk of conflict was significantly intensified.

Senior diplomats in China spoke intensely at the time and publicly expressed their statements to Sino -US relations.They worsen Sino -US relations and blame individual American politicians, but they still highly affirm the historical development of Sino -US relations in a large orientation. It emphasizes that China believes that they can cooperate with the United States for mutual benefit, refuse to decompose, and call for disagreement and avoid confrontation.

It is used to the confrontation of China to return to teeth and eyes with eyes during the trade war. This kind of restraint, calmness, and even a little lower body tone is interpreted as the new trend of China's foreign policy on the US.This has received a lot of approval in the Chinese academic community. Some analysts believe that it is not the interests of Beijing with hard touch and unlimited expansion of disputes. It is not the interests of Beijing.Not broken.

However, this signal was released for less than a month, and the style of painting seemed to change suddenly.

On the 3rd of this month, China held a symposium to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. The General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Xi Jinping announced that five of them would never agree with a strong wording.This includes never promising anyone to try to distort the history and purpose of the Communist Party of China; change the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics; to split the CCP and the Chinese people, and to oppose it;China's forward direction; destroying the Chinese people's development rights, etc.

Obviously, Chinese leaders have made public response to the current US policy in a targeted manner.Anyone who plays clearly is the US eagle officials such as the United States and Pompeo.

This statement is significantly different from the previous statement of the Chinese foreign affairs department. The attitude is resolute and tough. There is no room for compromise. Xi Jinping's speech also emphasizes the spirit of the struggle and clearly determines the tone of the fighting spirit of the US policy.Public opinion has predicted that in the future, officials at all levels will deal with the United States on various issues and public opinion propaganda for Sino -US relations, and there will be a high probability that it will move closer to the struggle.

Two signals have been issued after a month, one advocates ease, and one advocates struggle and confrontation. It can't help but make the outside world think about it. Is China's policies swaying in the United States?Is there a completely different position on the issue of dealing with the United States?

Take a closer look at the five, and the strongest content involves the relationship between the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people.Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Susan Shirk interpreted in an interview with Bloomberg, and five of the five who have strong nationalist colors will never agree.Bond, as well as the position of the highest leader.

The Sino -US game is fierce after the crown disease. The Trump administration's attack on Beijing has settled China as a strategic competitor in the past two years.The attitude of anti -communities but not anti -China.This includes accusing Huawei a branch of the CCP's monitoring mechanism, calling on the free world to change the Communist China.For the CCP, such attacks are full of ideology, which is equivalent to attempting to subvert its ruling status and the relationship between the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people. It is a matter of life and death.

Therefore, compared with the previous statement of Chinese diplomats on specific Sino -US relations, the five that Xi Jinping talked about did not promise to target the current Sino -US relations, but also surpassing the current Sino -US relations.question.This is a red line that cannot be crossed in the eyes of Chinese high -level levels. There is no room for discussion. The toughness of this attitude is not unexpected.To put it simply, it is the bottom line.

Specifically, how to deal with Sino -US relations, the statement of senior officials of China's diplomatic system, emphasizing cooperation and alleviating contradictions, it is believed to be the main tone.Sino -US relations have always been the top priority of China's foreign relations. After decades of exchanges between the two sides, the two sides have long formed a symbiotic relationship that cannot be separated. No one can bear the consequences of fighting against the struggle.To prevent the comprehensive out of control between the relationship between the two countries, it meets the long -term interests of Beijing, especially in the critical stage of China's current rise. Any unnecessary episode in foreign relations may affect China's important development opportunity period. It is what Beijing does not want to see.situation.

Some scholars described that the five did not agree to be the first theme of Sino -US relations, and the statement of senior diplomatic officials was the second theme.If you think about it, the first and second themes are not absolutely contradictory. The surface of the two policy positions seems very different. In fact, there is only a red line that is not a secret for China.But what is worrying is that the wrestling of Micro has spread to the ideological battlefield, the risk of crossing this red line has increased significantly, and the fierce struggle and confrontation have become a long -term situation.
