Following the Chinese ambassador to the United States Xie Feng, Yang Tao, the director of the North American Oceania Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also held talks with senior officials responsible for Asian affairs with Wujiao Building on Wednesday (August 2).EssenceInterviewed scholars analyzed that diplomats cannot replace the military communication mechanism. At this stage, contact can only be regarded as "expedient measures", and whether to restore military dialogue in the short term is still the indicator of changes in Sino -US relations in the short term.
According to Reuters, a spokesman for the Pentagon of the United States said in a statement on the 2nd that the US Department of Defense's Indo -Pacific Security Affairs Assistant Latna and Yang Tao discussed the defense relations between the two countries and regional security issues.During the meeting, Lartner emphasized that the US Department of Defense will continue to work hard to maintain open military exchange channels between the United States and China.
After Xie Feng rarely went to talk to the Pentagon on July 12, the US official press release showed that Latner also put forward the same statement to the exchanges between the two armies.
Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Working Committee of the CPC Central Committee, met with U.S. Secretary of State Brosky on July 13, and U.S. officials also revealed that during the conference, Brinkel had expressed the progress of the United States' concerns about the restoration of military communication between the United States.
Huang Kuibo, an associate professor at the Department of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan Politburo, analyzed in an interview with the United Morning Post that diplomats cannot replace the military communication mechanism. At present, this minimum contact can only be regarded as expedient.
He infer that Beijing has continued to send foreign officials to contact the US Department of Defense, which may be dealing with the issue of Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu being sanctioned by the United States.After all, before this problem is resolved, Beijing is unlikely to restore the negative talks between the two countries.
On the other hand, Yang Tao also held a work consultation with Bishalan, a senior director of Chinese Affairs, Assistant Secretary of State of the Asia -Pacific Affairs Assistant in Washington and the White House National Security Council.The official press release released by the two parties after the meeting both described the talks frank and constructive.
U.S. State Department spokesman Miller said at a press conference on Tuesday that Kangda and Yang Tao had stated that the invitation from the former foreign minister Qin Gang to the United States of China Qin Gang was now transformed into Wang Yi, who was invited to return to the foreign minister.But Miller did not disclose whether China accepted the invitation.
For Wang Yi's invitation to visit the United States, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said "willing to communicate with the United States" when answering a question in Reuters on Thursday.
In addition, Bloomberg has previously quoted people familiar with the matter that the US Minister of Commerce Raymond Doro plans to visit China in late August. It is expected to be on the 21st, but the specific date may be adjusted.
If you become a line, this will be the first visit to China since Raymond Duo has served as the Minister of Commerce, and it is also the fourth senior official of the government in China since June.Senior officials who visited China before were Secretary of State Brosky, Minister of Finance Yellen, and Climate Special Envoy Cry.
Huang Kuibo believes that except for the National Defense Department, the meeting of officials in other national security fields in China and the United States has gradually recovered, showing that both parties hope that the relationship can be relatively stable.It is believed that the meeting of officials in this transaction was for Wang Yi to visit the United States and even arranged for the Summit of the two heads of state.
He also mentioned that in the short term, the indicators to observe the improvement of Sino -US relations in the short term. In addition to whether national defense officials have resumed contact, the frequency of the ambassadors of the two countries and other foreign officials has increased.
