The representatives of the United States and China came to Germany last weekend, hoping to repair new cracks caused by balloon storms.However, the meeting between Sino -US senior diplomats reflects how difficult it is to take a step back.
Since crossing the United States by high -altitude balls and caused fierce accusations, US Secretary of State Brosky and the director of the Chinese Central Foreign Affairs Office and the State Councilor Wang Yi held a talk for the first time.Gun tongue battle.The highest US diplomat also said that China is evaluating whether it provides weapons for Russia's war in Ukraine, which will further exacerbate tensions.
Although the US President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping both expressed their willingness to stabilize Sino -US relations, the meeting showed that the two sides seemed to be inadequate and insufficient.After the balloon storm, Brinken canceled his trip to China. The above meeting originally intended to pave the way for Brinken's trip to Beijing, and now the probability of travel seems to be even more slim.Although Bayeng said last week that he hoped to communicate with Xi Jinping himself to resolve the tension together, but there was no sign to indicate when it would happen.
Kori Schake, director of diplomacy and national defense policy research, said that the relationship between the two parties has become more and more fragile. He has served as the US State Department and Pentagon.He pointed out that if China follows the West in Ukraine to provide assistance, it will also help Russia, which will strengthen the views of Russia -China Alliance and Western regarding China as malicious international forces.
Everywhere in the world are paying close attention.Leaders such as Brazil have warned the military and economic overflow effects brought by the long -term conflict between the two major economies of the world, and said they were unwilling to choose to stand by the two.
After Wang Yi said that "the Cold War thinking is back again", Brinken tried to make a guarantee that the United States had no intention of seeking a new Cold War.
The words used in bad talks between the two sides are sharp, indicating the sluggishness of US -China relations, and the two sides seem to be even more tattooed in the minor last quarter.In the reading of the talks, China even refused to call it a talks, and it was named "informal contact", and claimed that there was a conversation between two people at the request of the United States.
