The relationship between the United States and two major powers in China is ups and downs.In August 2022, Pelosi, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the United States, visited Taiwan, causing strong dissatisfaction in Beijing. It launched a measure of "three cancellations, five suspension", and the diplomatic relations between the two countries were frozen.In November of the same year, Chinese President Xi Jinping and the US President Bynden held bilateral talks during the meeting of the 20th Gemplic Group in Bali Island.Relations return to the track of stable development.
U.S. Secretary of State Brills originally scheduled to visit China in February this year to fulfill the agreement reached by the two heads of state in Bali.Sino -US relations seem to show signs of thawing.However, after the United States discovered and shot down the "Chinese Spy Balloon" incident, Brinken extended the plan to visit China to reflect the vulnerability and uncertainty of bilateral relations.
Even so, the two countries did not fully close communication.From May 10th to 11th, Wang Yi, a member of the Central Political Bureau of the Mainland Government and the director of the Central Foreign Affairs Working Committee, met with the US White House National Security Consultant Sha Liwen in Vienna.From May 25th to 26th, the Minister of Commerce of China Wang Wentao met with US Minister of Commerce Raymond Doro and trade representative Dai Qi in the United States.
Last Friday night (June 16), Brinken finally flew to Beijing for his visit to China.He is the highest -level official for visiting China since he took office, and the first Secretary of State, who visited China in the past five years.However, in the context of Sino -US relations, the results of the two countries' access to him did not expect much.
U.S. officials pointed out that Bollingken's primary goal is to establish open and solid communication channels to prevent competition between China and the United States from becoming conflict.The second is to reiterate the values and interests of the United States, and clarify and frankly propose the concern of the United States on a series of issues.On the other hand, this trip will also explore the cooperation between China and the United States in the field of multinational countries, including cracking down on drug smuggling, climatic discussion, and prevention of diseases.
Brinton held a long talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang in Beijing. Both sides described the talks "frank" and "constructive".
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that Qin Gang said in the talks that China is committed to building a stable, expected, and constructive Sino -US relations. He hopes that the United States will adhere to the objective and rational cognition of China, and it will be good at China to maintain China and maintain good China.The political foundation of US relations, calm, professional, and rational handling accidental occasional incidents.
On the other hand, senior US State Department pointed out that Brinken clearly stated in the talks that the United States does not want to decide with China, and the two foreign ministers express the willingness to stabilize bilateral relations and avoid competition to conflict.
In addition to talking with Qin Gang, Brinken also met with Wang Yi.But his biggest result this time was a meeting with Xi Jinping.The two officials announced the meeting one hour before the talks.Xi Jinping said that in the earlier talks between China and the United States, "made progress on some specific issues and reached consensus, which is good."
Sino -US relations are intricate, the foundation of mutual trust is weak, and the risk of misjudgment and gunfire is increasing.The two major powers need to work together to find a breakthrough in bilateral relations.
Although there is a competitive relationship in terms of economic, trade, technology, and strategic interests, there is still room for cooperation.The two countries may be able to pick up the fruit from easy to difficult.China can consider restoring the repatriation cooperation with illegal immigrants in the United States to combat transnational crimes, anti -drug cooperation, and climate change talks.At the same time, the United States can consider lifting Trump's punishment tariffs on China during the presidential period, which can not only improve bilateral relations, but also reduce the burden on American consumers.
Secondly, the deterioration of Sino -US relations ignite the narrow nationalism and populism of the two countries. The leaders of the two countries are subject to domestic politics when dealing with bilateral relations.Therefore, promoting the communication between the people and business and the two -track diplomacy of semi -official or academic personnel may help strengthen the foundation of mutual trust.
On the other hand, the meticulous and euphemistic diplomatic language helps to establish the atmosphere of bilateral relations and reduce the decibels of the opposite.The statements of "decoupled", "de -risk", "Youkan outsourcing", "economic coercion" or "scolding must return your mouth, and you must return your hands" are targeted and combined, and can not help the establishment of mutual trust.
Singapore Minister of Defense Huang Yonghong recently pointed out in the 20th Shangri -La dialogue that "China and the United States can dispel disputes or cool down protective fences one by one. This is worried about many countries."Regional countries have publicly stated that they are unwilling to choose a side station between China and the United States.They look forward to the relationship between the two big powers can be thawed as soon as possible and return to the right track, making positive contributions to global economy and security.
