The United States and China entered a high-level talks in Anchorage, Alaska, USA on the 18th (local time). The Global Times, an English-language version of China’s state-run media, said the worst bilateral relations have continued since the handshake of former Presidents Mao Zedong and Richard Nixon.
The Global Times recently raised negative nuances about the prospects of the talks, including mentioning that the US has recently sanctioned 24 Hong Kong officials and that the atmosphere before the talks was not at all friendly after the US launched a new provocation and offensive against China. Revealed.
He then cited comments from experts from around the country, explaining that the two sides’ failure to cancel the talks in such an urgent situation has given the two countries very high importance to the talks.
At the same time, some Chinese experts said that the talks should be canceled, but assessed that China is showing sincerity to bring the bilateral relations back to normal and seek opportunities for cooperation for world peace in response to the US’s tough attitude.
The media reaffirmed the existing position, such as the day before, Chinese Ambassador Cui Tenkai introduced a remark that China has no room for compromise on core interests.
The media analyzed that it is because of pressure in the United States that some of the high-ranking officials in the United States made hostile comments, such as saying that it is up to China to change relations between the two countries before the talks.
Diao Daming, an American Studies expert at the People’s University of China, said, “The reason the Biden administration is under great pressure from many anti-Chinese politicians in Congress is the reason that Blincoln and other senior US officials send hard or even hostile signals ahead of the talks.”
“The Biden administration has not established a comprehensive strategy for China, and there is no clear framework for foreign policy,” he said. “It would be more strategic and practical to establish relations with China as early as possible. It’s better than breaking up and inducing a confrontation,” he explained.
“Sooner or later, the Biden administration will need to cooperate with China on some issues,” said Yang Si-wi, a senior researcher at the China Institute for International Affairs. “I analyzed.
“The relationship between China and the United States is at a crossroads. It is the worst situation since the handshake between Mao Zedong and Richard Nixon (the relationship between the two countries). There are only two ways in the future. Go back to the right path or go back to the situation before the establishment of diplomatic relations,” said Yang. It’s going to work. It’s called the Cold War or the Heat War.”
The media explained that most observers were pessimistic or had very low expectations for the talks. He then said that the exchange between the two countries will not be warm again anytime soon.
“The decision of the top leaders of both sides to talk means that they have already evaluated all the possibilities,” said Yang. “If the dialogue breaks, it will be an unacceptable dilemma for both sides.”
However, the media predicted that they could exchange opinions on common areas of cooperation, such as responding to climate change and the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). It also implied that Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Biden may hold a’summit’ before and after Earth Day.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Li Jian said, “We are not ready for a meeting between President Xi and President Biden yet,” but said, “The two sides can communicate on any subject of interest, including talks between the two presidents.”
The media said that the summit meeting is not urgent in the current situation. Said there was no.
