Russia's invasion of Ukraine and inflation have been endless. It has made the world's burnt. The war between Israel and Hamas made the world one more divided into two. Sino -US relations suddenly brought some optimistic reasons.

Since June, the Chinese government has been in contact with a series of high -level US high -levels. Chinese President Xi Jinping told the visitors this month that "there are a thousand reasons to do well in Sino -US relations, and there is no reason to make Sino -US relations."Bad" -This is some of his most gentle comments on the relationship between the two countries.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in Washington on Thursday and will continue this track.During his visit to the United States, Wang Yi will meet with President Biden to pave the way for a possible meeting in California in the first month of China and the United States.

Although Beijing has not confirmed whether Xi Jinping was attending, Xi Jinping told California Governor Newson on Wednesday that "the interests of the two sides are very close."Newson said on Thursday that the situation has changed significantly compared with a few months ago.

Both sides have reason to establish a more friendly relationship before the San Francisco Asia -Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).As the Chinese economy slows down, Beijing needs a more stable geopolitical environment to attract foreign investors, and the United States hopes to resolve military and economic threats from China.

Nevertheless, the relationship between the two countries is still fragile.About a year ago, a meeting between Biden and Xi Jinjin exceeded the expected meeting -this is the last face -to -face conversation of the two leaders in the near future -soon was created by a so -called Chinese spy balloon over the United States, thisThe small progress that highlights the relationship between the two parties can soon disappear.

China and the United States' positions in the two wars in Europe and the Middle East are opposite. Washington is also tightening trade restrictions to control Beijing to obtain cutting -edge technology.Biden warned that the United States would be forced to intervene if Beijing attacked the Philippines in the South China Sea.

Dongshu Liu, a assistant professor at the City University of Hong Kong, said that most of the meetings between Xi Jinping and Biden have symbolic significance.

Liu said that Beijing is working hard to calm down the tension between China and the United States and stabilize the relationship.But both parties understand that due to domestic pressure, they cannot make major compromises.

Relationships Low

Last year, after the time of the US House of Representatives Perosi ignored Beijing's warning to visit Taiwan, Sino -US relations frozen in August 2022.

In response, Beijing frozen a military dialogue with senior military in the United States, causing people to worry that an accident in the Taiwan Strait may evolve into a conflict between two nuclear military powers.

Now shows that the military relations between the two sides are returning to the right track.The U.S. Department of Defense has confirmed earlier this month that China has accepted the invitation of China to participate in the Beijing Xiangshan Forum next week, which is the first time that China has hosted the event offline since 2019.

Reuters quoted people familiar with the matter and reported that China invited US Secretary of Defense Austin to attend the Xiangshan Forum.The United States will send a lower -level official to attend according to a precedent, but this invitation is symbolic: Beijing refused the talks of the two countries' defense ministers earlier this year, asking Washington to cancel the sanctions against the Chinese Defense Minister as the condition for such dialogues.

Earlier this week, former Defense Minister Li Shangfu was removed from office.If Chinese officials who have not been sanctioned as the Minister of Defense may open the door for talks with Austin.

Economic participation

The official relationship between economic officials is also improving.In recent months, many U.S. officials including the Minister of Finance Yellen and the Minister of Commerce Raymond visited China, and China and the United States have also launched a new working group.

The Ministry of Finance of the United States and Chinese colleagues held the first meeting of the economic working group on Tuesday, and another working group discussed the topic of financial topics the next day.

Piyush Gupta, CEO of Star show group, said in a business forum in Shanghai earlier this month that the dialogue between the two parties has been improved.With a number of high -level US executives visiting China this year, some important changes have appeared in tone and practices.
