Trump is committed to visiting China, and the four sentences of China's latest response are worthy of the fine taste of the US. Why did Trump mention visiting China again?
When Trump was not officially in office, he was just hype about the issue of visiting China, after being elected president of the United States, he had put forward the so-called "hundred-day visit to China" plan, that is, to complete the visit to China within a hundred days, but the plan can not catch the change, Trump with a trade war disrupted his plan.
It was then that Trump would lead a large business delegation to visit China to follow his previous trip to Saudi Arabia, but the journey has remained unresolved.
Later, visiting China seemed to become a "mantra" for Trump, and his attitude towards visiting China often changed. When he was in a good mood, he said that he would visit China as soon as possible, and when he was in a bad mood, he became arrogant and said that he had "no interest" in visiting China unless the Chinese side extended an invitation to him again.
This time South Korean President Lee Jae-ming visited the United States, Trump frequently mentioned China during the talks. Seeing that he was so keen on China-related issues, the media followed this atmosphere and asked him about the progress of his visit to China., whether he plans to complete his visit to China this year or next year.
Trump immediately said that he might be going to China, pointing to Lee's next door, inviting the South Korean president to visit China with him on a special plane, and also found a coronary reason, claiming that doing so could save energy and protect the ozone layer.
When Trump talks about relations with China, it is still those familiar and clear words, he claims that the United States will establish a good relationship with China, and this situation is happening, but he does not forget to hiddenly threaten the Chinese side, suggesting that in the economic and trade field, he has more codes in his hands than the Chinese side, in the face of China's hardness, he stressed that he is not unable to play out the cards, but for the bilateral relations does not want to fight.
In response to Trump's latest statement on his visit to China, Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responded. Compared with the previous "no information to provide", this response is much richer, and every sentence is worth Trump's careful taste.
Guo Jiakun said that China has always handled and promoted Sino-US relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, while firmly safeguarding its sovereignty, security and development interests. China hopes that the United States will meet each other halfway and promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of Sino-US relations. Head of state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable strategic leading role in Sino-US relations. The heads of state of China and the United States have maintained close exchanges and communication.
The first sentence illuminates the three principles China insists on when dealing with Sino-U.S. relations, and the bottom line that China's development of US relations follows, and the U.S. side should not paranoidly use China's sovereignty, security and development interests in exchange for the easing or improvement of Sino-U.S. relations.
The second sentence is China's request to the United States. If the United States is sincere in promoting the stable, healthy and sustainable development of bilateral relations, it needs to move in the same direction with China and cannot deviate from the right track.
The third sentence highlights the irreplaceable role of the diplomacy of China and the United States, leaving room for imagination for Trump's visit to China, China's visit to the United States and the meeting between China and the United States. This means that China has opened the channels of communication and dialogue at the highest level between China and the United States, just waiting for a suitable opportunity to implement it. Trump should create a good atmosphere for this, and don't make excessive troubles.
The fourth sentence acknowledges that the heads of state of China and the United States have maintained communication in other forms, but have not held face-to-face meetings for the time being. This is a very positive signal, which means that the meeting between the two heads of state should not be far off.
It is time for Trump to think carefully about how to realize his wish to visit China as soon as possible, and the answer lies in China's response.
