The U.S. Embassy in Beijing announced on the 14th that Ambassador Blanstad is about to leave and will leave Beijing in early October.U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo's earlier tweets thanked Beijing for their contributions with irony, but did not explain the reason.US President Trump's anti -Chinese policy is strong.What is worried about Beijing is that the Trump administration has appeared in disguise in September to recall the ambassador to China. Will it launch in October in October with the trend of Thunder?
The 73 -year -old Blanstad was selected by Trump as a ambassador to China in 2017.In 1983, Briner met Xi Jinping, who was visiting the agricultural state of Aiwa.At that time, Xi Jinping was the secretary of the Zhengding County Party Committee of Hebei Province. He led the corn processing delegation to visit the state. He was warmly received by Bresad, who was the governor, and the two had maintained a good relationship at first sight.In 2012, Xi Jinping, who became the vice chairman of China, specially arranged for the old place to re -travel while visiting the United States, and the two renewed the front.
Trump appointed Branstad as the Ambassador to Beijing in Beijing. On the one hand, he and Xi Jinping's familiarity are conducive to selling agricultural products to the mainland.The state is responsible for the high -level staff of the momentum, and the father and the son have a good job.
When Blanstad went to Beijing in May 2017, because he was the first ambassador to Chinese leaders to Chinese leaders, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland described the old friends of the Chinese people.But once in a time, the at the beginning of his office became a hard -working and painful.
Although neither the State Council and Pompeo have disclosed the reason for the departure of Bu Shi, the judgment can be summarized into three major factors.First of all, not long after taking office, British has encountered the most disputed period since the establishment of diplomatic relations in the United States and China since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1978.The ambassador can say that most of the time is idle, almost useless.
Secondly, Pompeo thanked Blanstad in the tweet to contribute to the balance of US -China relations, so that the relationship between the two parties focuses on results, mutual benefit and fairness.The contribution is how to make him embarrassed between the two major powers, so that Branstad mentioned in his statement that he was committed to letting Beijing list the opium analgesic agent Fentni as a controlled substance and sell the Fentnib for sale.It will be severely punished by Chinese law to the United States. It seems that he is the most important specific achievement in selling agricultural products during the three -year term of 3 years and 3 months.
Third, Blanstad has recently plans to invest in the People's Daily with signed articles to explain the position of Washington's relations in the United States and China, but it is a manuscript for the People's Daily.The most important official media in the mainland refused to publish his article. It is believed that he found that he could no longer play a role between the United States and China, and the last straw that was better than returning to thought was rising.
After the U.S. election on November 3, whether it was Trump's re -election or Democratic Party Bayeng was elected, US -China relations would inevitably have another new weather.It is worth noting that since the Trump administration has increased pressure on China in July, it has recalls the ambassador to China in September.The greater the power of the moon.
