The first U.S.-China talks since the Biden administration took office will be held on March 18, but the outside world is not optimistic about the talks. Taiwan scholar Wu Jialong analysis, the talks are likely to talk but no results. Japan’s Sankei Shimbun branch director Akio Yabata believes that the Biden Administration has been very tough on the Chinese Communist Party, but it remains to be seen whether the United States can lead other allies to confront the Chinese Communist Party together.
In addition, the 12th U.S.-Japan-India-Australia summit issued a statement, but not a word about the Chinese Communist Party, which makes people wonder whether the Biden administration can carry the banner of resisting the Chinese Communist Party?
However, the West’s siege and blockade of the CCP in the field of science and technology is less than the Trump era, but still something is being done. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Friday (12), huawei ZTE and other Chinese science and technology companies on the U.S. “blacklist”. In order to prevent Chinese companies from annexation, Ukraine wants to take the warplane engine manufacturing company back to the country. The small country of Ireland said no to the Chinese Communist Party.
The U.S. scholar Cheng Xiaonong pointed out that the three factions in the U.S. political arena are now divided and constrained by each other.
U.S.-China Talks on the 18th: Experts: Likely to Talk Without Results
U.S. Secretary of State John Blinken and National Security Advisor Sullivan will meet with Chinese Communist Party Central Committee Politburo member Yang Jiechi and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the 18th. Overall economist Wu Jialong analyzed that U.S. President Joe Biden is not good at showing weakness or being tough, so the U.S.-China talks are likely to be “meetings without talks and talks without results,” creating a situation of “stalling for Time.
Wu Jialong analysis, the United States and China to meet, simply put, Biden is not good to show weakness, but also not good tough, so simply come to a “meeting without talking, talk without results”, that is, the two sides have formal talks, but no substantive progress, from the effect is also “stall time “The situation.
He said that the more urgent is the top leader of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, who hopes that the Biden administration will be able to lift certain restrictions under the Trump (Trump) administration in terms of tariffs and technology embargo. It is not easy for Xi to say explicitly, mainly because China’s economy is under significant pressure, “but this is actually the biggest concern in his mind. If the economy continues its downward spiral, the superficially rosy-looking figures won’t mean much, and people will think China’s economic data has too much water in it.
As for Biden, Wu Jialong said that if he is too lenient with the CCP, others will suspect that Biden is a puppet of the CCP or suspect that Biden has taken benefits from the CCP, so it will be difficult for Biden to do anything, so he cannot show weakness. But if you are too tough on the CCP, I’m afraid it’s not good for Biden himself, because Biden and his son may still have some black materials in the hands of the CCP. So he guesses that the Biden administration’s approach is to posture and be ambiguous in its actions.
If that’s the case, Wu said, “then the U.S.-China relationship is in a state of stagnation: on the surface there are still diplomatic relations between the two sides, but in reality there’s no longer any concrete engagement.” The U.S. also now has no ambassador in Beijing, but has downgraded to chargé d’affaires; there is no break in diplomatic relations, but it is increasingly feeling like one.
He speculated that Biden was waiting for Xi to make concessions himself, because Biden was signaling, “If you don’t make concessions to me now to come to terms with me, are you going to wait for Trump’s hard line to make a comeback in the future?”
Yaban Akio: Taiwan and Japan should urge the United States to rate allies and jointly resist the expansion of Chinese Communist Party bullying
Japan’s Sankei Shimbun branch director Akio Yaban 12 in Taipei a seminar to analyze China’s maritime police law analysis, China’s implementation of the maritime police law in February, the timing in the resignation of Japanese Prime Minister Abe, U.S. President Donald Trump lost the election, the United States and China’s strong resistance to China when the power suddenly weakened. In the future, the world will still need the United States as a policeman. For example, when condemning the Xinjiang issue, he used the term “ethnic cleansing” to denounce China’s actions in Xinjiang.

Yaban Akio said: “It’s a lot of talk, but so far it’s all talk and no actual sanctions. Eighteen days immediately the United States and China began diplomatic exchanges again, and now the United States put the words very big well, on the talk about some sensitive issues how, but specifically, if you just raise some issues, the other side to listen to is no substantive effect.”
Yaban Akio believes that Japan and Taiwan should stand on the same line with the U.S. side against the Chinese Communist Party: “This time to talk about the Taiwan issue, the Xinjiang issue, while the issue of the Maritime Police Act is also a very serious problem, then the United States in the end will do this I think is very important. I think the Biden regime, at least up to now, his mouth is relatively strong, we as the international community, as Taiwan, as Japan, but also through various methods to urge the United States, so that the United States to lead us to resist these foreign expansion and bullying behavior of the Chinese Communist Party.”
The four-nation summit issued a statement, not a word about the Chinese Communist Party
The U.S., Japan, India and Australia held the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) on the 12th, the U.S. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who participated in the leaders’ meeting, said afterwards at a regular White House press conference, “The four leaders discussed the challenges posed by the Chinese Communist Party and made it clear that no one has illusions about the Chinese Communist Party, but they are not targeting it today. “
According to the five-point joint statement issued by the four countries afterwards, which reaffirmed their commitment to work together to address the challenges in vaccine shortages and climate change, three working groups will be established, including a working group of vaccine experts to implement vaccine distribution; a working group on critical and emerging technologies to promote cooperation on future international standards and innovative technologies; and a working group on climate change.
The draft statement does not mention the Chinese Communist Party, but rather the implementation of international law conventions, addressing security in the East and South China Seas, and promoting cooperation on critical and emerging technologies.
Sullivan said the meeting focused on global crises such as Newcastle pneumonia and climate change, and the leaders of the four countries pledged to assist India in increasing vaccine production, combining U.S. technology, U.S. and Japanese financing assistance and Australian logistical support.
Sullivan said the meeting discussed cyber attacks and the shortage of semiconductors, and that the newly formed working group on science and technology will review the state of the semiconductor supply chain and also focus on the cyber attacks on the United States, Japan, India and Australia over the past period, including the hacking of Microsoft.
In the meeting, Japan also expressed its strong opposition to China’s attempts to change the status quo in the region, and the leaders of the four countries all agreed to cooperate.
According to the joint statement, in addition to the three working groups, all four leaders agreed that their foreign ministers would meet at least once a year, and that the four heads of state would hold a face-to-face summit before the end of the year.
In addition to the leaders of the U.S., Japan, India and Australia, the U.S. participants in the 12th quadrilateral security talks included Vice President He Jinli, Secretary of State Blinken, White House National Security Advisor Sullivan, White House Defense Coordinator Jeff Zients, White House Coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell and White House Senior Director for South Asia Sumona (Guha).
Huawei, ZTE and other Chinese science companies on U.S. Security “blacklist”
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Friday (12) blacklisted Huawei, ZTE and five other Chinese companies, saying they pose a threat to national security.
The companies named include Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Dahua Technology and Hainanda. 2019 a law requires the FCC to find out which companies are producing communications equipment and or providing services that pose an unacceptable threat to U.S. national security or the safety of Americans.
Cheng Xiaonong: The Three Factions in U.S. Politics
Chinese Communist Party expert Cheng Xiaonong wrote in the Epoch Times on March 11 that the U.S. policy toward China in the late Trump era is very clear and unambiguous, while Biden’s policy toward China seems a bit confusing. However, if we analyze the formation of the U.S. policy toward China by simply using the opposition between the “political correctness school” and traditional values, or the opposition between the “panda goodwill school” and the “panda containment school” to judge the U.S. policy toward China, we will not be able to make a decision. It is too simplistic to judge the U.S. policy toward China. Because, at this moment, there are not only two factions in the U.S. political and business circles, but actually three factions.
For a long time, there has been a “Panda Goodwill Faction” and a “Panda Deterrence Faction” in the United States, the former in politics, finance, business and academia, and the latter in the military and Republican Party. However, not all legislators can be divided into these two factions, nor can they be distinguished by two parties.
The three factions are, first of all, the “defenders”, to which the “panda containment faction” belongs, and some of the “panda goodwill faction” may wake up and join. The second is the “sellout faction,” in which some people in the “panda goodwill faction” would rather have a strong enemy and a weak self for their own interests; the third is the “harm faction,” in which people who like the idea of political correctness may not be These people, who like the idea of political correctness, may not have inextricable ties with the Chinese Communist Party as the “Panda Goodwill Faction” does, but they are willing to use all kinds of so-called “politically correct” arguments to promote various policies that harm the interests of the United States in order to establish an authoritarian unified world for their faction.
Cheng Xiaonong pointed out that the future U.S. national policy will be produced in the competition between these three factions. Both parties have these three factions, but the proportions are different. In the Republican Party, there are more “defenders”, but there are also “sellers”, and some people will collude with the “harmful faction” for personal interests; in the Democratic Party In the Democratic Party, there is a large proportion of “harmers” and many “sellers”, but there are also some “defenders”. Exactly which faction prevails in which policy depends on the content of the policy. For example, on national defense issues, the “defense faction” basically prevails, while on economic, trade and financial policies with China, the “sellouts” have considerable influence. The overall direction of China Policy is not always adequately explained by the simplistic distinction between conservatives and liberals.
The future of U.S.-China relations will be a complex situation, the military level of confrontation is obvious, but in other levels will require frequent specific analysis. Biden is not willing to adopt a coherent policy across all dimensions of the Cold War, as Trump has done; instead, Biden will make somewhat contradictory decisions on the military, espionage, economic, and political fronts.
While the “defenders” cannot verbally oppose the demands of the “defenders” for greater national defense and security, the “sellouts” and “detractors” may often act in favor of policies that weaken themselves and strengthen their enemies. When the military believes that the national security of the United States is increasingly threatened by the Chinese Communist Party, its calls and demands for strengthening national defense will be supported by a group of “defenders” in Congress and the government, and the military will become the main driver of policy toward China.
While many companies in the U.S. business community oppose Trump’s policy of economically containing the CCP, the military’s hard-line stance will provide some restraint to the “sellouts. The military is deploying at the pace of the U.S.-China military confrontation, and the deployment of the U.S. military to prepare for war will inevitably restrict economic interactions between the two countries, and future U.S.-China economic relations will be in the context of the military confrontation between the two countries.
The future U.S.-China economic relations will be under the background of military confrontation between the two countries. Ukraine wants to nationalize warplane engine manufacturing company
Reuters reported yesterday (11) that Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said that Ukraine would renationalize the military engine manufacturer Motor Sich, which is strategically important to national security and holds key manufacturing technologies, to prevent Chinese companies from annexing it.

Danilov said, “The nationalization process will be carried out in a legal procedure and all investors will be compensated, freeing the key military manufacturing company, which has been privatized for more than 20 years, from being coveted by Chinese companies.”
Madasic has been in an operational crisis in recent years, and Chinese companies have taken advantage of the situation to secure expanded investments, with Beijing Tianjiao Aviation, a subsidiary of Beijing Xinwei Technology Group, and Ukraine’s DCH Group, acquiring more than 50 percent of Madasic in 2019.
The reason why the U.S. and even Russia are not happy to see Madasic annexed by the Chinese Communist Party is that the PLA Air Force is still unable to master the advanced technology of “fighter engines”.
Ireland says no to the Chinese Communist Party?
Recently, there has been a growing debate in Ireland about Huawei’s impact on local academic freedom, the prolonged detention of a businessman in Shanghai, and the deteriorating human rights situation in the Chinese Communist Party, all of which are changing Dublin’s view of Beijing.

Niall Duggan, a lecturer in the Department of Political Management at the University of Cork in Ireland, told Voice of America, “The naive assumption that companies and individuals in Ireland will not be affected by fundamental issues such as the political and legal freedoms of the Chinese Communist Party is over.”
Late last month, four Irish lawmakers joined the Inter-Parliamentary Policy Alliance on China (IPAC), a transnational coalition of political parties that aims to coordinate a hard-line approach to the Chinese Communist Party in order to preserve democratic countries’ political systems from Communist encroachment.
Ireland wants to trade with the Chinese Communist Party,” Irish Republican Senator Malcolm Byrne told Voice of America. But Beijing is wrong in its treatment of the Uighurs, Tibet, Hong Kong, and in its illegal detentions. We cannot turn a blind eye to the growing violations of human rights and the rule of law by the Chinese Communist Party.”
Bourne, who joined IPAC, does not support Beijing hosting the Winter Olympics next year, saying “the Chinese Communist Party should not be given the opportunity to promote it.”
The most high-profile case is that of Irish citizen Richard O’Halloran, who has been detained by China since February 2019 after flying to Shanghai to settle a business dispute with his employer, the Communist Party of China’s International Air Leasing Services.
