US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has visited China amidst fierce conflicts on various issues. On Friday (April 26), he held a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on various issues to ease tensions between them. At this time, the stability of the relationship between the two sides or the most catastrophic situation, what does the United States want? The Chinese foreign minister asked the US administration to choose it.
The two superpowers involved in the Cold War, the United States and China, are playing different diplomatic strategies to maintain their influence in the world. Both sides are becoming a threat to each other in a dangerous game. In this, the relationship between the two countries, which are in extreme conflict on various issues including the Ukraine war, the Taiwan issue, the South China Sea, is at the bottom.
However, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is visiting China to develop relations amid the ongoing tension on various issues. US Secretary of State held talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday. High-level representatives of both parties were also present. The meeting discussed climate change, the fight against drugs, trade and human rights.
However, the Chinese foreign minister warned the United States by attacking in a harsh tone. Wang Yi warned that the Xi Jinping administration will not hesitate to retaliate if Washington somehow crosses a “red line” or meddles in Beijing’s internal affairs.
He said, China and the United States should move forward with stability or want to bring disaster to the relationship? The question is for Washington. We believe that if the two sides do not maintain a cooperative relationship, the situation will turn towards conflict.
Washington’s recent approval of an aid package for Taiwan is also claimed by Beijing as a violation of the ‘One China’ policy. And the US foreign minister said that to prevent the deterioration of bilateral relations, it is necessary to work on improving relations by avoiding misconceptions and wrong messages.
Blinken said face-to-face diplomacy has a different importance. However, misunderstandings and miscommunications must be avoided; Not only for the interests of the United States, but for the people of the whole world. Because the relationship between the two countries is affecting the world.
Meanwhile, according to international media reports, Blinken is believed to be able to pressure Beijing so that Chinese companies do not support the Russian defense industry.
Incidentally, Blinken visited China for the second time in less than a year in an effort to improve relations between the United States and China. Earlier, he visited Beijing last June.
