The “Xi-Xi meeting” ended. In response to remarks made by mainland Chinese President Xi Jinping on the Taiwan issue, Yang Yongming, a professor of political science at National Taiwan University, said today that Xi Jinping did not draw a red line, but a narrow area. The problem is the core of China’s fundamental interests” and “the insurmountable front line”. Taiwan and the United States have no intersection on the Taiwan issue, and the confrontation is even more profound!
Yang Yongming stressed that for this meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping he has four remarks: US-China relations, fight without breaking;
He said that The New York Times reported on March 22, 1953, “Soviet propaganda has changed, acknowledging that the United States helped win World War II.” The title of the inside page uses “Peaceful Rivalry”, emphasizing that Soviet propaganda emphasized that the United States and the Soviet Union are two countries with different political systems and, although competing with each other, can cooperate peacefully.
Yang Yongming believes that both sides of yesterday’s Xi-Xi meeting had similar ideas, and Xi Jinping stressed that China and the United States should cooperate with all countries to bring peace to the world. Biden stressed the importance of avoiding conflict between the United States and the world expects cooperation between the United States and China. But can the two sides really fight without breaking up and maintain a peaceful confrontational relationship?
Indeed, he said, the new cold war between China and the United States has already begun! After Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan and the military exercise around Taiwan in August, the United States and China suspended channels of communication on substantive issues. This time the heads of state of the two sides met and talked to rekindle the basis of interaction. Even if the topics discussed are more fake than real, they agree that US Secretary of State Blinken will talk about it next year. Visit Beijing.
Yang Yongming stressed that the Taiwan issue of concern to us erupted at this meeting. Before the meeting, Biden said he would discuss the “Taiwan Strait Red Line” with Xi, and during the meeting he carefully explained that the “US One China” policy has not changed, but he opposes any change in status quo in the Taiwan Strait and coercion of Taiwan by the mainland. This is the United States’ “Taiwan Strait Peace Red Line”.
Xi Jinping told Biden, “The Taiwan issue is the core of China’s fundamental interests, the bedrock of the political foundation of Sino-US relations, and the first insurmountable red line in Sino-US relations.” President Mr. President has stated many times that he does not support “Taiwan independence” and has no intention of using Taiwan as a tool to seek a competitive advantage over China or to contain China. I hope the United States fulfills Mr. President’s promise.”
Yang Yongming interpreted that Xi Jinping did not draw a red line, but a restricted area! “Anti-Taiwan independence and anti-foreign forces intervening in narrow areas”, especially “the Taiwan issue is the focus of China’s fundamental interests” and “the insurmountable front line”. The two sides have no intersection on the Taiwan issue, and the confrontation is deeper!
In addition, he said that the concept of fundamental interests is also worth discussing. Xi Jinping said that the Taiwan issue is the core of China’s fundamental interests, but is the Taiwan issue the core interest of the United States? Treasury Secretary Yellen and Secretary of State Blinken, who attended the meeting and sat to Biden’s left and right, respectively, stressed in September that the excessive concentration of semiconductors in Taiwan has caused national security risks for United States, and the de-Taiwanization of semiconductors is a definite policy. It seems that it is difficult for Taiwan to become the main interest of the United States!”
