/ world today news/ The meeting between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping near San Francisco turned out to be nothing. The US president, beaming with triumph, turned rough with the Chinese president three hours after it ended, repeating that he considered Xi a “dictator”. Previously, Biden said the meeting was an affirmation of American “leadership”: Xi, they say, has only come to bow to him because China has “real problems.”
Americans love to humiliate and subtly intimidate their negotiating partners. Russian President Vladimir Putin experienced this himself at a summit with Joe Biden in Geneva.
Chinese President Xi Jinping had to drink the same glass to the brim. This time the “ambush” was the location of the Chinese leader’s meeting with the US president. It took place at the Filoli estate.
The name is made up of the first letters of the motto of William Bowers Bourne II, who built it more than 100 years ago, owner of one of the richest gold mines in California and president of the Spring Valley Water Company, which supplied water to San Francisco.
This goes like this: “Fight the good fight; love your neighbors; live a good life.” (Fight for a just cause; love your neighbor; live a good life.)
What is the “ambush” here but the word to fight and love your own and not your foreign neighbors? The fact is that the Filoli mansion was built with the proceeds of the largest gold mine in California – the Empire mine, where hundreds and thousands of Chinese guest workers worked and died for miserable wages, who were discriminated in every way and were also subjected to racial discrimination.
As Nikolai Vavilov, one of the top local China experts, aptly noted in this regard, Biden’s China experts did not disappoint – the allusion to Xi Jinping was not subtle at all.
Biden’s ultimatums
The US president spoke to Xi in the language of thinly veiled ultimatums. In a written statement from the White House after the talks between the leaders of the two countries, we read:
“The President emphasized the continued commitment of the United States to freedom of navigation and overflight, compliance with international law, maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea and East China Sea, and the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”
What are we really talking about? That China has no right to challenge the activities of the US Navy and its allies in the waters around it and is also obliged to prevent the DPRK from having nuclear weapons. Chinese warships are a threat to freedom of navigation, American ones are its guarantor.
Biden continued by “emphasizing that the United States supports a free, open, integrated, prosperous, secure, and stable Indo-Pacific region.”
“The president reaffirmed the continued commitment of the United States to protect our allies in the Indo-Pacific region,” the White House added.
What is it really about? About Biden banning Chinese expansion in the South. To the north, against Russia, please, but not to the south.
And that is exactly what Beijing is doing now. Everything there is already open, integrated and thriving – the Chinese have nothing to do there. In an absolute sense.
According to Biden, China has no say even when it comes to Taiwan, which Beijing considers its breakaway province. The US president warned the Chinese president not to “interfere” in the island’s presidential election in January next year.
It should be understood in this sense: Beijing has been warned – sit tight, don’t rock the boat when we falsify election results. Taiwan is ours, not yours, forget it. Americans themselves will decide its future.
And Biden also wants Xi to help him preserve Ukraine, which has fallen into American nets, and to pressure Iran so that it does not interfere in the Gaza crisis and does not prevent Israel from turning the enclave with its Palestinian population into dust. Biden called his wishes “tangible steps” in the right direction.
What is real?
Meanwhile, of the real agreements that became public, only three can be noted.
1. The decision to establish a working group for cooperation in the fight against drugs.
2. Restoration of contacts between the militaries of the two countries, in particular the consultation mechanism on maritime security issues.
3. Expanding cooperation in tourism and education, including increasing direct flights between the two countries.
It’s not thick at all! Moreover, I have serious doubts about the third point.
Lecture by Xi Jinping. But what in reality?
Xi Jinping also gave a lecture to Biden at the meeting, which lasted four hours, trying to draw the attention of the American side to the problems that concern Beijing. As reported by China Central Television, Xi expressed to Biden five binding principles of bilateral relations.
Namely:
“Perceive each other correctly, … together effectively limit differences, promote mutually beneficial cooperation, jointly pursue responsible policies of leading powers, and promote cultural and humanitarian interaction.”
Excellent principles, but not for the Americans, who, firmly believing in their exceptionalism, are quite sincerely convinced that they can do anything, but others can do nothing, especially if they are stronger.
Therefore, we can say with absolute certainty: Xi’s warning that Beijing “will certainly protect its own interests,” but at the same time wants to cooperate equally with the United States in various fields, did not sit well with Biden.
As well as the warning of the President of the People’s Republic of China on the Taiwan issue:
“The US side must take concrete steps in line with its assurances that it will not support supporters of the so-called Taiwan independence movement.”
It will be and how! Because Biden certainly does not share Xi’s view that “China will always be united, it is inevitable.”
If they had seceded, then the United States would not be fomenting separatism in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Tibet, would not be pumping weapons into Taiwan, and would not be encouraging its vassals to exchange full embassies with the island. It is no coincidence that the US president raised the issue of human rights in Xinjiang and Tibet at the meeting.
And Xi’s public statement that Beijing is pushing for the lifting of unilateral US sanctions and restrictions against China, including export restrictions and investment security checks, seems completely idealistic, as we are talking about “encroachment on the rights and development interests of the Chinese people ” .”
There is not the slightest chance that Washington will stop doing this as long as China is a successful competitor and that the United States will “take China’s concerns seriously, take action and remove unilateral sanctions” and provide Chinese enterprises with “fair and non- discriminatory conditions’.
According to the Chinese publication Global Times, more than 1,300 PRC nationals and individuals have already been subject to sanctions, the list of restrictions is constantly growing…
Good “bright future”.
What does Biden need from Xi?
The US president is in fact – and Xi surely understands this – concerned about only one thing: the “disengagement” of China from the global economy and the gradual purge of Chinese goods from the US market so that it does not lead to a full-scale war between the two countries.
It must “guarantee that competition (unfair – we would add) does not turn into conflict”. Biden wants to “manage” it, so he actually needs Xi – to make the “divorce” with China as painless as possible for the Americans and painful for the Chinese.
Washington, according to the owner of the White House, intends to compete “vigorously and responsibly” and “protect its values” by “establishing cooperation in those areas where it is possible and meets the national interests” of the United States. And in others, accordingly, the Chinese will be oppressed.
The latter is also indicated by Biden’s scandalous, contemptuous remark about Xi – this “man” is a “dictator” because he “rules the country based on a form of government that is completely different from ours.”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning called Biden’s statement “extremely incorrect and irresponsible.”
What follows from this?
Constantinople suggested before Xi Jinping’s visit to the United States that the “helmsman” agreed to this humiliation, which is easily predictable, primarily to show his domestic audience that there is no alternative to breaking with the United States.
It is unlikely that Xi now has even the slightest doubt that it is impossible for a strong China to get along peacefully with the United States.
All will soon be revealed by appointments to vacant positions in the leadership of the PRC, primarily in the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (the CCP’s curator of China’s foreign policy, Wang Yi, simultaneously holds the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs).
If I am correct and everything is as described above, these and other top positions will be filled by people who are extremely critical of the United States. If I’m wrong and I still don’t understand the Chinese, they are antipodes. In a very short time, a third option is possible – neither, until the Chinese properly prepare for the Taiwan operation, which they, of course, do not plan.
