/ world today news/ The series of contacts between Chinese and American representatives at various levels in recent times are a sign that the two countries are trying to stabilize their relations, and they have created a basis for the upcoming meeting between Xi Jinping and Joe Biden in San Francisco on Wednesday. It will be their first since they spoke at the G20 forum in Bali in November 2022. The two will exchange views on strategic, general and bilateral issues, as well as hot international issues.
The road to the current meeting between Xi and Biden has not been easy, and the return to the Bali arrangements is the key to its success. In the past year, there were problems in Sino-American relations, the reason for which was precisely the failure to implement the consensus from Bali. They began to tighten after the scandal over the shooting down of a Chinese weather balloon over the US, which the US side says was spying, followed Washington’s permission for a transit visit by Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen to reach the freezing point after the introduction of the US ban on exports of chips for china. All this was contrary to what was stated by Xi Jinping and Biden in Bali, represented a gross violation of Chinese interests and logically led to the interruption of the dialogue between the two countries.
In June this year, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited China, demonstrating a desire to improve relations. And it was the right move, because Washington is aware that putting pressure on China will not lead to anything, but cooperation is needed to solve the issues of climate change, regional conflicts and the recovery of the world economy. For the first time, official representatives of the US government participated in the just concluded 6th Shanghai International Import Expo, and the number of companies presenting there was a record high of over 200. This shows that China and the US have many common interests. And how the US should look at China, the governor of the state of California, Gavin Newsom, gave during his visit to the country: “The more successful China is, the more successful we will be.”
The upcoming meeting between Xi Jinping and Joe Biden in San Francisco is a sign that China is willing to sincerely work to improve bilateral relations, and also shows that the country is aware of its responsibilities for relations with the US, for world peace and development. In this sense, Beijing continues to believe that a pragmatic dialogue with Washington requires abandoning the image of the other side only as a competitor, overcoming the negative influence exerted by narrow party and private interests, and turning to the real interests of countries and people. When sincerity is answered with sincerity, then both parties will be looking in the same direction.
