On the afternoon of March 21, Xi Jinping and Putin issued a joint statement. Regarding the Ukrainian issue, the two sides agreed that the purpose and principles of the United Nations Charter must be observed, and international law must be respected.Russia actively evaluates that China is willing to play an active role in solving the Ukrainian issue through political and diplomatic channels.The two sides oppose any unilateral sanctions that have not been authorized by the United Nations Security Council, and they also oppose any country or national group to harm the reasonable and safe interests of other countries in order to seek military, politics and other advantages.Russia also agrees to restart the peace talks as soon as possible.
China and Russia emphasized that the relationship between each other is not the military and political alliance during the Cold War. It has no alliance, non -confrontation, and no target of the nature of the third country.China and Russia are prioritized for each other, respect each other, treat each other, treat each other, pay close exchanges, and communicate in -depth; and promote the multi -polarization of the world, economic globalization, international relations democratization, and promote the development of a more fair and reasonable direction of global governance.
For the above statement, the US position is rather objection.First of all, the United States is unhappy to see China intervene in Ukraine peaceful negotiations.The US position is that the Russian and Ukraine War must be completely stroked to Russia. Unless Russia is defeated, Ukraine will not stop fire and talk.Once China intervenes successfully, Ukraine will rely on China to reconstruct and recover the role after the war, thereby reducing the decisive influence of the United States and the European Union.Starting from the Cold War thinking, the gain of China is the loss of the United States.The United States will inevitably oppose it to the end.
Secondly, China and Russia emphasize the multi -polarization of the world, economic globalization, and democratization of international relations. They both violate the long -term monopoly hegemony interests of the United States, and it is not advisable.Therefore, the United States must lead the allies, including NATO, the European Union, the Five Eye Alliance, and Japan and South Korea to fight against China, Russia, BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organizations, and "Global Southern" countries to form a bipolar confrontation situation.This is the "New Cold War" pattern.
The United States adheres to the international order and value system dominated by "U.S. Priority", rather than the choice of alternative value choices for multi -pole, globalization and democratization.In a word, the leadership of the United States is the rule that the international community must follow, and this is the "international order based on rules."Based on this, the China -Russia joint statement is a provocation of the interests and value faith in the United States, and the United States will not tolerate and accept it.
However, for the US -China relations and cross -strait situations, the consolidation and strengthening of the relationship between China and Russia have a special role.This is because the US national strength is micro -micro -fiscal crisis and financial dilemma.U.S.
Based on this, if the United States does not continue to arch fire and actively stops the force support for the Ukrainian war, the Taiwan Strait crisis should not happen.Therefore, as soon as possible, the strategic gap provided by the Russian and Ukraine War was used to actively grasp the opportunity to improve cross -strait relations and make it institutionalized and normalized, which is in line with the welfare and common interests of Taiwanese people.This is a rare asthma and strategic opportunity under the "rules -based international order" led by the United States.If the main administrative person cannot use wisdom in time and use it well, peaceful opportunities will be fleeting.
