Former Deputy National Security Advisor Bo Ming gave his first public speech at the Florida International University Forum since leaving office, exposing the inside story of the U.S.-China encounter. He talked about Beijing‘s delaying tactics and former U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer a chart that shows the 20-year trap of U.S.-China negotiations.
On Wednesday (3), Bomen participated in a forum organized by The Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs at Florida International University.
Don’t fall into the negotiation trap set by Beijing
At the forum, Bomen said the Chinese Communist Party is very good at adopting a delaying policy when negotiating, and that a key U.S. strategy under the Trump administration has been to not allow the Communist Party to stretch out negotiations for too long.
In 2017, Bomen said, former Trade Representative Lighthizer showed a chart for his cabinet showing “these various conversations that the U.S. and China have gotten into over the course of 20 years, yet the U.S. trade deficit with China and China’s (CCP) intellectual property violations have escalated.”
He mentioned that the U.S. needs to pressure China to quickly address those things in China that endanger U.S. national security, prosperity and democracy, and not fall into the trap that Beijing has set Time and time again, and not be lured by China into long, formal mid-level negotiations.”
U.S. Has List of Information on Origins of Virus
Bomen also said former Secretary of State Pompeo released a document just before he was due to leave office that presents a full list of information currently held about the origins of the virus. He said, “One thing that’s new in the document is the role of the Chinese military at the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research, which had never been disclosed before.”
He added that the list talks about a flu-like illness within the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research that occurred as recently as November 2019.
Taiwan Strait Tensions Due to Beijing’s Desire and Ambition
Boming said the tension in the Taiwan Strait is not the fault of Taiwan’s leadership, but is all due to Beijing’s desire and ambition, and that if the Chinese Communist Party moves against Taiwan, the United States should provide substantial assistance to Taiwan, and the Taiwanese people must also unite and make sacrifices to prepare for war.
Booming said that if Taiwan is annexed by China, and the United States submit to such an outcome, will destroy the trust between the United States and its allies, will also seriously affect the competitiveness of U.S. technology and innovation advantages, impact on the semiconductor industry and the electronics supply chain, and may trigger a war between China and Japan, and even India, not happy to see such a bad result.
He believes that the United States should take substantive action to help Taiwan avoid conflict, which is a topic that the United States and the rest of the world should focus on, taking substantive rather than symbolic measures, and the Taiwanese people must understand the importance, and danger, of the situation.
Booming graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a major in China Studies. After graduation, he entered journalism and worked and lived in China for nearly a decade. He later switched careers and joined the Marine Corps. in 2017 Boming joined the U.S. national security team and participated in the drafting of the National Security Strategy document, which has been instrumental in changing the U.S. government’s policy toward China.
