[속보] Conflict from the start of the US-China talks, “Do not interfere with internal affairs”, “Concerns about Chinese actions”

With the US and China entering into high-level diplomatic talks in Alaska, USA on the 18th (local time), a bursting sound has been heard from the beginning.

According to Reuters, US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln and White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and the Chinese side, Yang Jietsu, Communist Party Foreign Affairs Officer and Wang Yi, Chinese Foreign Affairs Commissioner and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anchorage, Alaska. Started talks at.

The meeting was held in a situation where relations between the two countries have been sharp since the Donald Trump administration, and Joe Biden’s new administration has also expressed its willingness to strengthen the public.

Both sides began to fight from their remarks. “China’s actions threaten the underlying order of maintaining global stability,” Blincoln said. “The United States will discuss deep concerns about China’s actions, including in the Xinjiang region.” In addition to Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan have pressured that economic coercion towards the alliance will lead to dialogue.

“We welcome fierce competition without pursuing conflict,” said Sullivan. However, I will defend the principle for the sake of our people and friends.”

In response, Yang Jietsu criticized “the United States is using military power and financial superiority to press other countries,” and “abuses the concept of national security to threaten the future of international trade.” He also confronted Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, saying that they are all inseparable territories of China. “China is firmly opposed to US intervention in internal affairs.” In addition, they attacked with “black people are being slaughtered in the United States” and “the lowest level of human rights in the United States”.

“Announcing new sanctions is not a way to welcome guests,” said Wang Yi. It seems to be a statement with the US recently announced additional sanctions against Chinese telecommunications companies.

This 2+2 talks will be the first high-level face-to-face meeting since President Biden took office, and it is expected to act as a weather vane to gauge US-China relations for the next four years in the Biden administration.
