President Joe Biden and Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping spoke for two hours in February and exchanged views on bilateral relations and major international issues. But even after the phone call, relations between the two countries have not improved significantly, especially during the March 20 high-level meeting between the U.S. and China, which was marked by a lot of fireworks. In an interview yesterday (2), Secretary of State Antony Blinken also said that the Chinese Communist Party’s actions overseas in recent years “have become more aggressive,” and he said bluntly that “the United States does not want to suppress China, but will not allow it to undermine the rule-based international order. “
According to the BBC Chinese Facebook page, Blinken said in an interview with CBS that “the United States does not want to suppress China, but will not allow it to undermine the rules-based international order.” He also noted that military confrontation is completely against the interests of both countries, and that Biden and Xi spoke on the phone for two hours in February. Biden made clear that the U.S. is very concerned about China’s practices in a number of areas, including on the economy and intellectual property theft.
The BBC analyzed that Blinken did not refer to China as an enemy, even though the U.S. accuses Beijing of stealing hundreds of billions of dollars in trade secrets and intellectual property. However, Blinken said the Biden administration “does have concerns” about intellectual property issues. Blinken also noted that while China is acting like “someone who is trying to compete in an unfair and increasingly adversarial way …… when we bring together like-minded and equally indignant nations to say to Beijing, ‘This is not acceptable and it’s not going to last. will not last.’ We will be more effective and more powerful.”
Blinken revealed that it would be extremely detrimental to the interests of both countries for the United States to begin a military confrontation with China, and that it would not be a good way to go if it did go that far, even in the direction of military confrontation. He added, “It is a fact that over the past few years we have witnessed the Chinese Communist Party intensify its repression internally and become more aggressive externally.”
