When Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao went to the United States to participate in the Asia -Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Minister of Trade, he met the US Minister of Commerce Raymond and Dai Qi, respectively.A ministerial talks were held in Washington.Recently, China -US officials have frequently met. After four months of suspended Chinese ambassadors in the United States, the new ambassador Xie Feng also arrived in the United States last week. The relations between the two countries seemed to have really appeared "thaw" in Biden.Although China and the United States still lack mutual trust, the structural conflict of bilateral relations is still unsolved, senior officials of the two countries realize that they must stop bilateral relations and fall into the "A Death Spiral".The situation does not break the situation. As for whether it can break the historical tragedy and traps of the hegemony of the great power, and to create a new process of human civilization history is a greater challenge facing the leadership of the two countries.

Since Plogsi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the United States House of Representatives in August last year, caused the Taiwan Strait crisis, in Bali Island, Indonesia in November last year, President Xi Jinping and President Bynden reached a consensus to improve bilateral relations and instructed the two countries toOfficials discuss the arrangement of the establishment of "bottom line" and "guardrails". In 2023, it should be a year when Sino -US relations have come.However, the "balloon storm" in February made Sino -US relations bottom out again. US Secretary of State Brillin canceled his visit to China.Military operations on Taiwan.China has frozen high -level interaction between the two countries and refuses to answer the call of the US defense, and is reluctant to arrange a worship call.

Entering May, the situation changed, and the Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang met with the US ambassador to China on the 8th; two days later, Wang Yi, director of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, and U.S. National Security Consultant Su Liwen in Vienna, Austria,For eight hours of talks, the talks were "frank, deep, substantial and constructive"; last Wednesday, the deputy foreign minister in charge of American affairs Xie Feng to the United States and became the 12th ambassador to the United States.The national book copy and meet the Secretary of State of the United States Newland; at the same time, Ambassador Berns also visited Chengdu, Sichuan. It was the Chinese consulate in Chengdu to retaliate against the US Consulate in Chengdu to retaliate against the US Consulate in Houston in the past three years.The U.S. ambassador set foot in the local area for the first time; US Treasury Secretary Yellen expressed his intention to visit China, and the U.S. climate change special envoy Kerry even claimed that he had received an invitation to Beijing and will visit China in the near future.Various signs show that Sino -US relations are gradually "melting".

During this period of time, Sino -US relations were not peaceful. A week ago, the Seventh -way Group (G7), led by the United States, issued a joint statement after the Hiroshima Summit in Japan, accusing China "economic coercion" and expressing the "" economic coercion "and expressing the situation of the situation in the Taiwan Strait."Concern" caused Chinese criticism; and the China National Internet Information Office responded to the national security risk reasons, calling for the suspension of the product of the US -funded chip manufacturer Meiguang Technology Company, which also triggers the US dissatisfaction.However, the incidents have not been fermented, and the White House spokesman emphasized that China's actions on Micron will not destroy the efforts to improve US -China relations.

There are many speculations on the reasons for the recent "thawing" of Sino -US relations.Recently, the U.S. inflation has not been high, the bank's closing tide and the debt crisis pinch, and Washington is urgent to avoid conflicts in diplomacy.In China, after the successful mediation of Saudi Arabia, the French President Macron and Brazilian President Lula visited China, which strengthened confidence in dealing with the United States.At the same time, China is also reluctant to miss the momentum of the improvement of Sino -US relations after the Bali Summit last year. Then he followed the trend and resumed communication with the United States. He also paved the way with Bayeng's Summit on the APEC Summit in November to attend the APEC Summit in November.EssenceIn fact, under the appearance of the "freezing" of China and the United States, the "two -track" interaction of the two countries has not stopped.And Deputy Secretary of State Schmann meeting.In recent months, some important personnel changes in China and the United States have created room for adjustment of the policy of both parties.

However, the competition between China and the United States has become a major trend. Frozen will not be smooth sailing. Equipping emergencies such as balloon storms. Recently, Daiqi announced that the US Taiwan has completed the five issues of the "21st Century Trade initiative".The first phase of the agreement will cause the Chinese side to be dissatisfied; Biden will sign an administrative order to limit investment in China's high -tech field and the United States will openly investigate Chinese balloons, which may reverse Sino -US relations.Sino -US relations may also have an impact.

However, as the Ambassador Xie Feng arrived in the United States, he publicly said, "Sino -US relations are a history that has gone through storms but constantly having difficulty moving forward. Today’s Sino -US relations are so large that they can not fall.Who may change, no one can replace anyone. If you combine it, you will hurt each other, and you will hurt the world. Whether China and the United States can deal with each other's relationship will determine the tomorrow and the future of the two countries.Looking at us. "This remark is deeply advised to abandon the United States to give up changing China and declare that China has no intention of replacing the United States.After these years of game contest, the two sides have finger the red line of each other. Stabilizing Sino -US relations has always been an important goal of Chinese diplomacy.Until now.

The conversation between China and the United States has restarted. It should be discussed and formulated as "roadmaps" of relations between the two countries as much as possible, respecting each other's core interests, adopting peer -to -peerful measures, stabilizing bilateral relations, and rebuilding institutionalized high -level interaction.Both sides can start with pragmatic things like scholars' suggestions, and rebuild mutual trust. For example, re -open the closure consulate, relax the student visa, start trade technology negotiations, and formulate global norms for emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.Although China and the United States will still occur in many issues or even disputes, bilateral relations can still be "dynamically adjusted". Even if they talk about noise, they are still expected to maintain a new normal of the "competitive relationship" between the two sides.
