There are high-level contacts between China and the United States again, but this does not mean that there has been a fundamental change in the relationship.
From September 16 to 17, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee, held a new round of strategic communication with Sullivan, the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States, in Malta.
At the meeting, China and the United States held multiple rounds of discussions on China-US relations, Taiwan, the Asia-Pacific situation, the Ukraine crisis and other important issues for more than 12 hours. China described the meeting as candid, substantive and constructive.
The points of disagreement between the two sides are very clear. According to the Global Times, a senior Chinese Foreign Ministry official who participated in the meeting said that the issue that took the longest time to discuss was the Taiwan issue. Wang Yi pointed out that the root cause of the current tensions across the Taiwan Strait is that the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party’s “Taiwan independence” activities have become more and more intense, and the support of some external forces has become more blatant. The correct direction for the peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue is to resolutely oppose “Taiwan independence” and support China’s peaceful reunification.
What the US wants is a meeting between the heads of state of China and the US. The U.S. official media Voice of America stated directly that U.S. President Biden expressed disappointment with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s absence from the G20 Leaders’ Summit in India this month. Biden’s next possible opportunity to hold talks with Xi Jinping is the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco in November.
This meeting can be interpreted as having obvious differences between the two parties, but it is described as “constructive”, which means there is some progress. The progress that can be seen is:
1. The two sides agreed to maintain high-level exchanges and hold bilateral consultations on Asia-Pacific affairs, maritime affairs and foreign policy. That is to say, these three areas will continue to focus.
2. The two sides discussed measures to further support and facilitate personnel exchanges between the two countries. It is estimated that visas will be easier, there will be more flights, and the United States will reduce artificial obstacles.
But don’t think that there will be fundamental changes in the relationship between China and the United States if there are high-level contacts between China and the United States again.
First of all, Wang Yi was unwilling to take the opportunity of attending the United Nations General Assembly to go to the United States to meet with Secretary of State Blinken. Finally, I went to the neutral territory of Malta and met with Sullivan.
Secondly, after Wang Yi met with Sullivan, he flew directly to Russia to conduct the 18th round of China-Russia strategic security consultations from September 18 to 21. The talks were about arranging a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The fastest Maybe next month. China wants to show that there is a difference between closeness and distance.
In the past, the United States was negotiating with China and attacking China at the same time. Now everyone needs to get used to it, even China will talk and fight at the same time.
Huawei specifically chose September 25 to release the Mate 60 Pro mobile phone with its own 5G chip. This day happens to be the second anniversary of Huawei’s rotating chairman Meng Wanzhou being released from Canada and returning to China. This is also a portrayal of the struggling relationship between China and the United States.
