He Qinglian: Beijing’s aggressive advances, Washington’s strategic patience

China uses Myanmar election fraud as an opportunity to remind US not to forget blatant fraud in 2020 election

The world is waiting for the United States to announce its policy toward China. China’s repeated outreach of a barbed olive branch went unanswered, and finally on February 2, Yang Jiechi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee in charge of foreign affairs, delivered a speech on U.S.-China relations, a video address in the imposing venue of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, the stronghold of the embracing panda faction. On February 4, Biden laid out his foreign policy, the keynote of which remained “strategic patience,” and on February 6, after Secretary of State Blinken spoke with Yang Jiechi for the first Time, the two countries released their own version of the speech, but it was largely a repeat of what had been said before.

In his speech, Yang Jiechi characterized the Trump administration’s policy toward China in the past few years as “an extremely wrong anti-China Policy that has made Sino-US relations encounter serious difficulties unprecedented since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries”. Then he issued a demand list: 1) to build a new strategic consensus; 2) the status between China and the United States has changed dramatically, and China’s comprehensive power has caught up with the United States, and the United States needs to recognize this fact; 3) the U.S. side should effectively fulfill its commitment to the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués, strictly abide by the one-China principle, and effectively respect China’s position and concerns on the Taiwan issue; it should stop meddling in Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang and other issues related to China’s sovereignty and 4. The U.S. side should not abuse the concept of national security, economic and trade issues should not be politicized, and the concept of “national security” should not be abused. China welcomes U.S. enterprises to operate and invest in China, and both sides should provide a fair, open and non-discriminatory environment for each other’s enterprises; 5. Resume the Confucius Institute and related academic exchanges.

The aggressive momentum of Yang Jiechi’s speech is like forcing a defeated country to sign an alliance under the city. Therefore, that American long-lived adult cartoon South Park’s Obama Wins (S16 E14), which was filmed in 2013 and dug up by Americans for online broadcast, has a satirical theme of Obama’s election, in which the Chinese military, which helped him win, asked him to fulfill his promise, with full irony.

Following Yang Jiechi’s remarks, White House spokesman Leonardo Psaki said on Feb. 2 that the U.S. would communicate with China only after prioritizing dialogue with other allies and partner countries – after she had said Biden had enough patience with China, a statement summarized as “strategic patience “The State Department spokeswoman said in a statement the same day that Biden had been patient with China. A State Department spokesman expressed the same opinion at a press conference the same day.

The pro-China stance of Blinken, the head of U.S. diplomacy, and the three other founders of the strategic advisory firm WestExec Advisors, all senior Obama administration officials, was questioned while he was waiting to join the cabinet. WestExec Advisors presents its clients with the strength of helping them “penetrate the Chinese market,” claiming they can “develop strategies to expand market access in China while preventing trade tensions between the United States and China. Since taking office, Biden has signed a number of executive orders favorable to the Chinese Communist Party, such as taking down the State Department’s website on topics such as the Chinese Communist threat and 5G, banning the federal government from saying “China virus” and delaying the ban on investment in Chinese military companies, among others.

In an interview with NBC on February 1, Blinken stated his position on a number of foreign policy issues. While reiterating that China poses the greatest challenge to the United States compared to other countries, he noted the complex nature of the U.S.-China relationship, which encompasses adversarial dimensions, competitive dimensions and opportunities for cooperation on some issues, and emphasized that regardless of the dimensions, the U.S. must approach the relationship with China from a position of strength, not weakness – note The words “cooperation” and “vulnerable position” were used. His statement that Hong Kong people are welcome to immigrate to the United States actually suggests that the Biden Administration can do no more than that for Hong Kong.

U.S. Loses Important Step in Myanmar Coup

In his first foreign policy address at the State Department on Feb. 4, Biden, in full agreement with Blinken, emphasized that the current administration will focus on cooperation with allies, calling China “the most formidable competitor” of the United States and saying that the United States will respond to China’s aggressive posture on human rights, intellectual property and global governance, but is willing to work with Beijing when it is in America’s The Biden administration is counting on the European Union to be a partner in its efforts to promote the EU’s interests, and is willing to work with Beijing when it is in the interests of the United States – a different nature than Trump’s positioning of China as a “threat to U.S. interests. But the Biden administration’s expectation of partnering with the EU against China was met with a pot of ice water from France: On Feb. 4, French President Emmanuel Macron told a webinar organized by the Atlantic Council that the EU should not partner with the U.S. against China, even though it is closer to Washington’s position because of shared values.

In light of the past, although the Biden administration’s policy toward China has not yet been unveiled, the U.S. not only lost an important geopolitical step in the military coup in Myanmar, but was also reminded by China on the occasion of Myanmar’s election fraud that the U.S. should not forget the blatant fraud in the 2020 election, making the U.S. look very weak and humiliated.
