Bureau of International Knowledge: What kind of signal does frequent interaction and communication between China and the United States release when Antony Blinken visits China?
2023-06-21
On the morning of June 18, 2023, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Beijing to start a two-day visit to China. He is the highest level official of the Biden administration to visit China and the first U.S. Secretary of State to visit China since 2018. In the middle of January 2023, the United States announced the news of Antony Blinken's visit to China. However, on February 3, a senior official of the US State Council said that Antony Blinken decided to postpone his visit to China due to the incident of "Chinese unmanned airship entering US airspace". American media believe that Antony Blinken's visit to China shows that the United States hopes to resume high-level communication with China under "tension". Recently, "communication", "contact", and "communication" have once again become high-frequency words in Sino US relations. Both sides maintain the tone of communication and also release important signals. Liu Weidong, a researcher at the American studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in an interview that the current "window period" for China US relations to recover and stabilize, and the two sides need to maintain a relatively stable relationship. The new round of high-level interaction between China and the United States has seen an increase in contacts since May. In the past six months, especially in the past two months, the new round of high-level interaction between the two countries has attracted attention. On February 18, 2023, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and head of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, when attending the Munich Security Conference, made informal contacts with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the request of the United States. On March 31, Wang Yi met in Beijing at request with President of the National Committee on United States–China Relations Lawrence Orens. Orens highly appreciates China's strong signal of deepening reform and opening up. He said that "decoupling and breaking the chain" is not beneficial to the United States and China, nor to the world, and will continue to play a positive role in enhancing mutual understanding between the United States and China. In April, many American officials, including Antony Blinken and Sullivan, the assistant of American family security affairs, expressed their hope to resume dialogue with China, saying that they would not seek "decoupling" from China or conflict between the two countries. Since May, the frequency of high-level interaction between China and the United States has significantly increased. On May 8, Chinese State councillor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang met with US Ambassador to China John Burns in Beijing. From May 10th to 11th, Wang Yi and Sullivan held a meeting in Vienna, Austria. Both sides had a frank, in-depth, substantive, and constructive discussion on promoting the removal of obstacles and stabilization of China US relations. In late May, Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao went to the United States to attend the APEC Ministerial Conference, during which he held talks with US Commerce Minister Remondo and Commerce Representative Dai Qi respectively. On June 5, Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu and Director General Yang Tao of the Department of American Affairs of the People's Republic of China respectively met with visiting Assistant Secretary of State for Asia Pacific Affairs of the State Council Kangda and Senior Director of China Affairs of the National Security Council of the White House Sarah? Belan held meetings and talks. The Chinese side stated that the two sides had frank, constructive, and effective communication. The US also stated that the content of this meeting is a "frank and productive discussion". The Capitol Hill newspaper of the United States believes that two senior US diplomats held face-to-face talks on US China relations in Beijing "
