The U.S. and China security and diplomatic chief talks will begin on the 18th, the Chinese side said that the nature of the talks for “strategic dialogue”, but the U.S. side denied it. A Taiwan scholar interpreted that the U.S.-China meeting, and the U.S.-Japan and U.S.-South Korea two plus two talks, the level is very far from the schedule, the choice of location, giving the outside world the impression that China is chasing the United States to talk.
The State Department announced on October 10 that Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will meet with Yang Jiechi, Director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Alaska next Thursday (August 18). This is the first high-level meeting between the U.S. and China since the Biden administration took office.
Before the U.S.-China meeting, the U.S. will hold a four-way leaders’ summit on the 12th. Next, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin will make a joint visit to Japan and South Korea with the aim of consolidating U.S. alliances in the region to “confront long-term competition with China,” underscoring Biden’s foreign policy priorities.
Lin Yingyou, an adjunct assistant professor at CKSU’s Institute of Strategic and International Affairs, analyzed that the timing of the U.S.-China talks is quite subtle as they are laid out after China’s two sessions. “He hopes to speak first in the two sessions of the one-China principle, I have first drawn this red line, to see how you want to speak, because the next two plus two, in fact, the United States and China sooner or later, must go to do interaction, communication, now, first of all, the first vaccine issue, Myanmar issue, will Hong Kong and other issues will be discussed. So the timing of this two plus two is quite subtle.”

The U.S.-China high-level talks are likely to be more substantive than the four-party talks between the U.S., Japan, India and Australia, which are mainly about building a security consensus with the Indo-Pacific countries, and will depend on how the talks go before deciding whether the U.S. and China heads meet.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on the 11th that “at the invitation of the U.S. side”, China and the U.S. will hold a high-level “strategic dialogue” in the near future. However, the U.S. press release only said it was a “meeting” and that Blinken told the U.S. Congress that the U.S. and China were not holding a “strategic dialogue” and did not intend to have a follow-up at this stage.
Lai Yi-chung, executive director of the Vision Foundation, a think tank of the Republic of China government, disagreed with the comparison of the U.S.-China meeting on the 18th with the U.S.-Japan and U.S.-Korea two plus two dialogues. He believes that the U.S.-China talks are far from two plus two, and it seems to the outside world that China is chasing the U.S. to talk.
The fact that Seoul is not in Beijing after the quadrilateral security dialogue and the Korea-Japan trip has a hidden meaning
Lai Yizhong said, “Not even a strategic dialogue, the United States and Japan, the United States and South Korea is a strategic dialogue, is the ministerial level, the United States and China is the Secretary of State, Foreign Minister, as well as the national security adviser between the two sides, senior officials of high-level talks, that is the case.”

Lai Yizhong also analyzed, from the Time of the U.S.-China talks, the order is set in Blinken’s visit to Japan, South Korea, the U.S. Secretary of Japan, the U.S. Secretary of South Korea met, giving the outside world the impression that China is chasing the U.S. talk. “The US specifically announced that the US was talking to its allies after the talks and when Blinken was back in the US. It is not a good idea to have a good time. It is China chasing the United States to talk about ah, people have arrived in Seoul, South Korea, on your doorstep in Beijing, but I’m going back to la, is that you chased to my side of the house and I want to talk, to the outside world seems to have this feeling, is China so as, so there will be people interpreting China he wants to talk more than the United States.”

U.S. and China both threaten not to back down on the issue of Xinjiang in Taiwan and Hong Kong
U.S. White House spokesman Jen Psaki stressed on the 11th, 18 and 19 two days of high-level talks between the U.S. and China, Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, will never back down to China, “whether it’s the issue of Taiwan, the democratic retrogression in Hong Kong, or our problems in the economy “. Psaki also said he would also be sure to express concern in response to China’s genocide of Uighur Muslims.” However, Chinese Communist Party Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Chinese Representative to the U.S. Cui Tiankai also recently stressed that China has no room to back down on the issues of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang, and that they are red lines that the U.S. side must not touch.

In addition, the U.S. State Department also expressed severe condemnation of China’s National People’s Congress for overhauling Hong Kong’s electoral system and stifling democratic freedoms. Psaki said the matter will certainly make next week’s U.S.-China talks more difficult, the U.S. trip is not “to talk for the sake of talking”: “We expect Beijing to show their sincerity … They keep saying they want to change the relationship between the two sides, and they should do something about it. “
Japanese media: Taiwan and Japan should urge the United States to rate allies to jointly resist China’s expansion of bullying
Japan’s Sankei Shimbun branch director Yaban Akio 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 Trump lost the election, the United States and China’s strong resistance to China’s power suddenly weakened. In the future, the world will still need the United States as a policeman. After Biden came to power, he spoke strongly about China and human rights, for example, condemning the Xinjiang issue and denouncing China’s actions in Xinjiang with the term “ethnic cleansing”.

Yaban Akio said: “The talk is big, but so far it is still just playing lip service, not to do the actual sanctions. Eighteen days immediately after the United States and China began diplomatic exchanges again, now the United States put the words very big well, said to 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 the U.S. and Japan should stand on the same line with the U.S. side against China: “This time to talk about the Taiwan issue, Xinjiang, while the issue of maritime police law is also a very serious problem, then the U.S. in the end how will do this I think is very important. I think the Biden regime, at least until 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 all together to China these evil laws say no to resist China’s foreign expansion and bullying behavior.”
