He's here, he's here, he's here with a "purpose".
Following U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen’s visit to China earlier this month, another important American figure, “Secretary of State Blinken”, has recently announced his decision to visit China next Tuesday (23rd).
However, Brother Youli dares to conclude that Blinken chose this time to make an emergency visit to China, which can be described as "an evil person."
You must know that U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific Affairs Conda, and White House National Security Council Senior Director for Cross-Strait Affairs Bethalan have just left.
Let’s first talk about Yellen’s trip to China .
This is the visit of the highest-level US official to China after the Biden administration came to power. However, Yellen's visit did not achieve any substantive results. Instead, it caused dissatisfaction and disgust. The reason is that during Yellen's visit to China, she not only made a series of unreasonable demands to China, but also tried to divide the Chinese government and people.
Although, the main purpose of Yellen's trip is to ease the economic and trade friction between China and the United States, and at the same time seek support from China to continue to purchase U.S. Treasury bonds.
At present, the United States is facing a serious financial crisis and needs to rely on printing money and borrowing debt to maintain economic operation. China is one of the largest creditor countries of the United States and one of the most important trading partners of the United States.
So Yellen hopes to persuade China to relax restrictions on American products and services and increase its purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds.
But Yellen did not show any sincerity and respect. During her visit to China, she not only frequently accused China of manipulating exchange rates, engaging in unfair trade, violating human rights, and threatening regional security. She even asked China to further open its market, protect intellectual property rights, reduce carbon emissions, strengthen financial supervision, etc.
There is no doubt that these demands are made by the United States to safeguard its hegemony and interests, and do not take into account China's actual situation and development needs.
Moreover, these demands are in line with "the United States' continuous suppression of China, forcing the world to cut off all China's high-end semiconductor supply chains and equipment in high technology, putting countless Chinese universities and enterprises on the supply blacklist, and constantly demanding foreign companies "move out of China and move factories to other countries".
This is simply a despicable approach that "costs both money and life."
What is even more annoying is that Yellen also tried to divide the Chinese government and the Chinese people.
During her visit to China, during a dinner party, she specifically emphasized at the dinner table: "Although China and the United States have differences, the United States has always been friendly to the Chinese people."
It is obvious that she is trying to divide China into the government and the people, at the same time, they advocated that the Chinese people should support the United States’ stance of suppressing China and asked the Chinese people to stand up against the government.
What a vicious trick!
This approach is not only disrespectful and serious provocation to the Chinese government, but also insulting and misleading to the Chinese people.
She completely ignored the fact that " the Chinese government represents the fundamental interests and will of the Chinese people, and the Chinese people also firmly support the government in defending national sovereignty, interests and dignity ".
After Yellen "returned empty-handed" from her visit to China, Biden sent two senior officials to visit China next. One of them is Conda, the Assistant Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific Affairs at the U.S. State Department, and the other is Bethalan, the Senior Director for Cross-Strait Affairs at the White House National Security Council. Both of them are of high rank.
What signal is the United States sending to the outside world?
Brother Li analyzed that there may be three considerations.
first , the United States wants to maintain cooperation with China. Because Yellen visited China and participated in at least four days of high-level economic talks, but "almost no results were achieved," this must make the Biden administration anxious.
After all, the U.S. presidential election is held every four years in just over half a year, and Biden needs to add to his political achievements.
If we can reach new cooperation with China in the economic and trade field, on the one hand, it can alleviate the current economic problems of the United States, and on the other hand, it can also win some support for Biden himself.
Second , from a diplomatic perspective, this visit of senior US officials to China may pave the way for Blinken’s upcoming visit to China.
The announcement issued by the US State Department stated that Kangda and Bethalan will meet with Chinese officials during their visit to China. This is most likely to make advance arrangements for the next stage of high-level interaction between China and the United States.
And based on past experience, after Kangda and others visited China last time, Blinken also set off for a visit to China immediately afterwards. Naturally, this time there will be similar results.
Third , judging from the recent international background, the leaders of the United States, Japan and the Philippines just held a so-called "historic" trilateral summit in Washington a few days ago. They were discussing China, especially Pointing fingers at China on affairs in the South China Sea, Taiwan Strait and even the East China Sea has aroused strong dissatisfaction in China.
Based on this, the United States has now sent senior officials to visit China, with the intention of easing tensions with China.
The United States has always used this kind of double-standard trick when dealing with relations with China. On the one hand, it enlists allies to contain China in actual actions, and on the other hand, it seeks "friendly" contact with China at the diplomatic level to avoid miscalculation.
But since it is to avoid miscalculation, the most important thing the United States should do is respect China's security concerns, be cautious in words and deeds on key issues concerning China's core interests, and use practical actions to repair mutual trust between China and the United States instead of They say one thing and do another.
Finally, let’s discuss Blinken, who is about to embark on a trip to China.
Considering that the strategic focus of the United States has shifted to the Middle East, it is not difficult to foresee that Blinken, who is about to visit China, will most likely not just come to improve U.S.-China relations. I am afraid he will also talk about the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Middle East conflict. After all, it is related to the interests of the United States. closely related.
From the perspective of U.S. interests, Blinken naturally hopes that China will openly oppose Russia, and it is best to cut off ties with Russia in terms of economic and trade exchanges. Of course, this is just a trick of "fighting to promote talks". After all, the trade between China and Russia is a normal trade relationship and complies with international trade regulations. The United States has no right to interfere.
More importantly, the conflict in the Middle East is on the verge of getting out of control, and June will usher in the Swiss Peace Summit, and November will usher in the climax of the US election. Therefore, there are good reasons to judge that the Biden team hopes to win re-election based on China acts as a peacemaker and advises Iran not to escalate the situation. At the same time, it also builds momentum for the Swiss Peace Summit in June.
Brother Li said that if Blinken’s visit to China is still a hypocritical one, he will get nothing as expected.
People should pay attention to sincerity when interacting with others, let alone between countries?
