Will America be able to digest the truth of China?
In the era of invisible global changes, mutual respect is the only way for China, America to progress, President Xi
Will the United States be able to digest the kind of harsh truth that Chinese President Xi Jinping told in his meeting with his American counterpart, Joe Biden? Only time will tell. Because President Xi Jinping began his speech with the phrase that turning away from each other is not an option for China and the United States. It is unrealistic for one party to replace the other, while the consequences of confrontation and confrontation can be unbearable for both parties. A confrontation between two big countries cannot solve the problems facing each other or the world. There is wide scope for China and America in the world, the success of one country is an opportunity for the other. In the meeting held on Thursday, the two heads of state discussed the direction of mutual relations, important strategic, comprehensive and detailed issues affecting global peace and development, while discussing international and regional issues of common concern such as the Palestine-Israel conflict.
President Xi Jinping said that China and the United States have two paths in the era of global changes not seen in a century. One is to increase solidarity and cooperation, to join hands to face global challenges, to promote global security and prosperity, and the other is to stick to the zero-sum mentality, fuel enmity and conflict, create chaos and divide the world. leading to These two choices point to two different directions that will decide the future of humanity and the planet. The China-US relationship, which is the most important bilateral relationship in the world, should be seen in this broader context.
President Xi Jinping also elaborated on the main characteristics and importance of Chinese modernization, China's development prospects and its strategic ambitions, pointing out that China's development depends on its natural logic and dynamics. China is promoting the great revival of the Chinese nation on all fronts through Chinese modernization. China will take the old path of neo-population and plunder, not the wrong path of gaining hegemony with increasing power. China does not export its ideology, nor does it engage in ideological confrontation with any country. China has no intention of overtaking or replacing America. In the same way, the US should not plan to suppress and control China, President Xi said.
Mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and mutual cooperation are the lessons we have learned from the periods of conflict between major countries in history. China and the US should make a lot of efforts to implement them. As long as the two countries respect each other, work together in peace, promote mutual cooperation, then they will be able to find the right path. In Bali last year, the US said it did not want to change China's regime, start a new Cold War, form an alliance against China, support "Taiwan secession" or engage in conflict with China. In San Francisco, China and the United States should adopt a new vision and build five pillars for mutual relations.
First, there is a joint formation of a correct concept. China is always committed to a stable, healthy and sustainable relationship with the United States. However, the protection of China's interests is indispensable. What should be done? Both countries can become partners who respect each other and live together in peace.
Second, is to effectively deal with differences jointly. Differences should not be a gulf that separates the two countries, but both sides should find ways to build bridges to help each other move forward. It is important that both sides value each other's principles and red lines. Avoid provocation and crossing lines.
Third, is to jointly pursue mutually beneficial cooperation. China and the US have broad common interests in a wide range of areas, including traditional areas such as economy, trade and agriculture, as well as emerging areas such as climate change and artificial intelligence (AI). It is necessary to restore cooperation in foreign policy, economy, finance, trade, agriculture and other fields and fully implement new mechanisms, cooperate in areas such as counter-narcotics, judicial and law enforcement affairs, artificial intelligence and science and technology. Is.
The fourth is to shoulder responsibilities jointly as major countries. The problems facing human society cannot be solved without cooperation between major countries. China and the United States should lead by example, enhance coordination and cooperation on international and regional issues, and provide more public products for the world. Both sides should keep their actions open to each other, coordinate them for coordination.
Fifth, is to jointly promote personnel exchanges. The parties should increase direct flights, promote tourism cooperation, enhance sub-national exchanges, strengthen educational cooperation, encourage and support greater contacts and communication between their peoples.
President Xi Jinping explained China's principled position on Taiwan issues and pointed out that Taiwan issues are the most important and sensitive issue in China-US relations. China attaches importance to the positive statements made by the United States at the Bali Summit. The United States should not support "Taiwan secession," refrain from arming Taiwan, and take real steps to honor its pledge to support China's peaceful reunification. China's reunification is certain, unstoppable.
The Chinese president pointed out that US actions against China such as export controls, investment screening and unilateral sanctions have seriously damaged China's legitimate interests. Suppressing China's technological progress is nothing but an attempt to stop China's high-quality development and deprive the Chinese people of their right to development. China's development, based on its own natural logic, cannot be stopped by external forces. It is imperative that the US take China's concerns seriously and take concrete steps to end its unilateral sanctions to provide an equal, fair and non-discriminatory environment for Chinese businesses.
