BEIJING, April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report
by China.org.cn on Antony
Blinken's visit to China:
On April 24th, U.S. Secretary of
State Antony Blinken arrived in
China, his first visit since June,
2023, garnering attention from the international community on what
influence this will have on China-U.S. relations, the most critical
bilateral relationship in the world.
During his meeting with the U.S. Secretary of State, Chinese
President Xi Jinping stressed that China and the United
States should be partners rather than rivals; help each
other succeed rather than hurt each other; seek common ground and
reserve differences rather than engage in vicious competition; and
honor words with actions rather than say one thing but do
another.
Since the meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S.
President Joe Biden last November,
positive signs have appeared in China-U.S. relations.
However, with no warning beforehand, the Biden
administration announced its escalated restrictions on chip exports
to China in late March, which
officially came into effect in early April. Around her visit to
China, Janet Yellen, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury,
was highly vocal about "overcapacity" in China's clean energy industries, including
electric vehicles and solar panels sectors. Soon after, Biden declared in Pittsburgh
that America will increase tariffs on steel and aluminum products
from China, meanwhile, launching a
Section 301 investigation into China's maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding
sectors.
Despite that, we should admit that China and America have maintained frequent
high-level exchanges, and Blinken's visit falls into this category.
It means that maintaining a stable bilateral relationship via
communication remains the consensus between the two countries.
Neither China nor its people
wish to see a slip in China-U.S.
relations. During Blinken's stay in China, the two sides reached a five-point
consensus based on a comprehensive exchange of views, including an
agreement to continue working hard to stabilize and develop
China-U.S. relations in accordance with the guidance of the two
heads of state, maintain high-level exchanges and contact at all
levels, and take measures to expand cultural and people-to-people
exchanges between the two countries.
To keep improving China-U.S. relations, the two sides should
walk toward each other, honor commitments, and redouble efforts
towards a healthy relationship.
