On February 4, Biden called the Chinese Communist Party “the most serious competitor,” and on February 5, Secretary of State Blinken and Yang Jiechi spoke on their own for the first Time, making it clear that the “improved U.S.-China relations” expected by the Chinese Communist Party were off to a bad start. After two days of evasion, the top echelon of the CCP finally made a disguised statement.
On February 7, the Chinese Communist Party’s Xinhua News Agency reported that Xi Jinping‘s speech at the Davos Forum on January 25 was published in a single volume entitled “Let the Torch of Multilateralism Light the Way for Humanity – Special Message at the Davos Agenda Dialogue of the World Economic Forum. Special Message”. This should be considered an indirect response to Biden’s statement that the Chinese Communist Party refuses to give up its bargaining chip, that Xi is still ready to lead the world, and that Biden continues to be belittled.
The Xinhua News Agency also ordered an opinion piece, “Drumming for a Correct Grasp of the Course of U.S.-China Relations”. Previously, the Chinese Communist Party blamed the Trump administration for the deterioration of U.S.-China relations and demanded that Biden correct his mistakes, and now the Biden Administration‘s attitude has been classified as incorrect by the Chinese Communist Party. The CCP is still ready to confront and fight for hegemony, is the U.S. ready?
Xi Jinping’s speech at the Davos Forum aggressively stated that “multilateralism must be upheld and practiced, and the building of a community of human Destiny promoted,” that “there will be no monopoly” and that “one or a few countries cannot give orders ” and “promote the building of a new type of international relations”. The renewed high-profile publicity of Xi’s speech in the CCP party media is supposed to be a renewed assertive stance from the top of the CCP, not wanting to give up expansion, just to overpower the United States, or at least to be on an equal footing.
Xi also set a series of price tags at the time, including: opposing “the use of the Epidemic to ‘de-globalize’ and engage in closed decoupling”, “maintaining the smooth and stable supply chain of the global industrial chain”, and “promote the high-quality construction of ‘one belt and one road'”; oppose “the ‘small circle’, ‘new cold war ‘”; “the international community should implement its commitments and provide the necessary support for the development of developing countries …… so that people of all countries can share the opportunities and fruits of development”. “scientific and technological achievements should benefit all mankind, and should not become a means to restrict and curb the development of other countries”; not to “move to engage in decoupling, cut off supplies, sanctions”, “trade war, science and technology war We should abandon “ideological prejudice”, refrain from “imposing social systems on others”, “refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries” and “refrain from conflicts and confrontations”. “not to engage in conflict and confrontation”, “cold war, hot war”; “strengthen vaccine cooperation”, “explore the development of global digital governance rules “.
At this point, Xi’s speech was issued in a single high-profile edition as a response to the Biden administration that the CCP is prepared to continue to harden these conditions or bargaining chips and continue to demand concessions and full surrender from the Biden administration on a range of issues.
Xinhua’s commentary also follows this vein, summarizing a series of four previously published articles, saying that “the overall situation of China-US relations cannot be ruined,” including the so-called “not just focusing on the differences between the two countries,” and that ” The article even cited data on Chinese students studying in the United States, saying that they “contribute more than $15 billion in value to the United States each year.
The CCP media may think that the U.S. cannot abandon Chinese students, but in reality the CCP is desperate to steal more U.S. technology, and the article blatantly states that “the road to science and technology exchange must not be broken”. There is also the so-called “economic and trade cooperation”, but the reality is that the CCP desperately needs the United States as the largest market, and the CCP desperately needs the largest source of dollar surplus and the largest source of foreign investment.
The Chinese Communist Party is so dependent on the U.S., but instead of a begging and cooperative attitude, it has shown a strong and bullying attitude, trying to make the Biden administration submit as soon as possible, and the top of the Chinese Communist Party can’t wait to pull the U.S. off the horse and step on it in one day.
The Trump Administration‘s decoupling and sanctions have knocked the CCP regime back to its original form, and the CCP top brass had to keep a low profile; but before Biden took office, the CCP top brass kept making strong moves and hardened their tone significantly. Now after Biden’s statement, the Chinese Communist Party top brass continues to belittle Biden and repeat the high price chips. The call between U.S. Secretary of State Blinken and Yang Jiechi also proves that the two sides are unable to talk on almost all issues and can only express themselves separately.
The military standoff between the two sides in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea has intensified as the Chinese Communist Party has increased provocations in the Taiwan Strait and the U.S. military has responded forcefully for two weeks. But the Chinese Communist Party is not ready to restrain itself, and has just announced another 15-day military exercise in the Bohai and Yellow Seas, continuing to expand the front of military confrontation. When Xi Jinping visited the military in Guizhou, he also emphasized “war preparedness” again. After 2 days of silence, the top brass of the Communist Party of China (CPC) once again took the stance of full-scale confrontation with the United States.
Biden’s stance was not too strong, neither calling the CCP an enemy nor mentioning accountability for the epidemic, actually backing away from Trump’s decoupling policy, but in return the CCP became more arrogant. Is the new U.S. administration really ready to respond in a strategic forbearance?
