After the Biden administration takes office, whether there will be subtle changes in the Sino-US-European triangle relationship has attracted attention. After taking office, US Secretary of State Blincol spoke with EU Foreign Minister Borelli for the first time on the 28th. The two agreed to continue to work closely on China issues in the future, and Brinken also expressed his hope to cooperate with the EU and member states to jointly face challenges such as the epidemic and climate change.
However, in the US official announcement on the call between the two, there was no mention of the dialogue mechanism between the former US Secretary of State Pompeo and the EU agreed to establish a US-EU-China dialogue.
Antony Blinken, who officially took up the post of Secretary of State of the United States on the 26th local time, immediately spoke with more than 10 foreign ministers of allies, including important European allies such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. On the 28th, he had a senior EU diplomatic and security policy. Talk on behalf of Josep Borrell.
Brinken and Borelli agree to repair US-Europe relations
Brinken said through Twitter afterwards that he and Borelli are committed to working together to repair, revitalize and improve bilateral relations between the United States and Europe.
Brinken said, “Whether it is the COVID-19 (COVID-19) epidemic, climate change or China, facing these complex challenges together makes us (US-Europe relations) stronger.”

According to a press release issued by the spokesperson of the US State Department (Ned Price), Brinken also expressed gratitude to the EU for its leadership in recent years and said that the US hopes to cooperate with the EU and its member states to deal with the new crown epidemic and climate change. Common challenges such as changes and transatlantic data flow, and seek economic cooperation.
Regarding China issues, Price said, “The two also agreed to continue to work closely on China-related issues.” However, Price did not mention the content of the two people’s conversations and whether it has touched on the US-EU-China dialogue mechanism launched last year. And whether the mechanism will continue in the future, and in what manner.
In order to cope with the global challenges posed by the information security, human rights and other fields recognized by the United States and Europe, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo actively wooed European countries during his tenure, hoping to form a joint US-European “against China” front.
Did not mention the “US-Europe Dialogue Mechanism” established in the Pompeo era for China
Pompeo accepted Borrell’s proposal in June last year to establish a US-EU-China dialogue mechanism under the US State Department and the European Union’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to respond to China’s threats to Western countries and democratic ideals; the two officially held a conference call in October last year. Start this dialogue mechanism.
However, Rui Zhong, who studies US-China relations at the Wilson Center, an American think tank, said in an interview with the BBC Chinese website that Brinken’s overall approach to China’s policy is actually not significantly different from that of Pompeo. “The United States will not be as “accommodating” as China hopes.”
She also pointed out that among Biden’s China policy staff, there are many security and defense experts who are expected to start from the Asia-Pacific region and adjust the US China policy.
