21.06. during a peculiar press conference, Yang Tao (chin. 杨涛), Director-General of the United States Department of the Ministry of abroad Affairs of the PRC, summed up the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Beijing. He introduced details of talks, explained China's position on Taiwan, democracy, human rights, the South China Sea, Ukraine crisis, China-American dialog and military relations between the 2 powers.
Taiwan
This is the most crucial issue in Chinese-American relations. The United States has made a clear commitment here, recognising that there are only 1 China, that Taiwan is part of China, and that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing China internationally. These commitments are included in 3 joint Chinese-American communications, which besides means that the American side recognises the actual position quo in the Taiwan Strait: both sides of the strait belong to 1 China.
The American website calls it “a policy of 1 China”.
Initially, this policy was clear and clean. But later the United States adopted a “Act on Relations with Taiwan” violating the position quo. Another violation of the accepted state of affairs was “Six guarantees for Taiwan”. Both papers were created as a consequence of unilateral action, without account being taken of erstwhile commitments. China powerfully opposed and refused to recognise these regulations.
The United States presently tends to combine “one China policy” with China's peaceful regulation of Taiwan issues and considers China's peaceful solution to this issue as a fundamental rule of “one China policy”. This issue, as well as Xinjiangu, Tibet, or Hong Kong are the core interests of China and cannot under any circumstances be the subject of external interference.
Autonomous regions
They have no connection with human rights, religion or cultural issues. Raising them is touching key issues related to China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, national security. These issues affect the fundamental interests of China and there is no place here to tolerate any abroad interference, under any pretext.

They are the universal goal of all mankind. China has full assurance in Chinese folk democracy. As regards respect for human rights, the advancement made in China is unquestionable. All countries have the right to follow their own way of democracy and human rights, which corresponds to their circumstantial circumstances. Countries have different practices on democracy or human rights, they can learn from each another and improve these practices together, but they cannot point fingers at another countries, interfere in China's interior affairs under the pretext of defending democracy and human rights.
South China Sea
The United States is not a organization to the dispute here. China claims the right to circumstantial waters based on historical and legal bases. It is crucial that the disputes concerning these waters did not affect freedom of navigation and flights in this area. However, under the cover of “free navigation” American warships and military aircraft provoke China, which increases the safety threat both in the air and at sea. If the United States truly cares about stableness in the South China Sea and hopes to avoid collisions, accidents, it should halt investigating and tracking China.
On a “rule-based global order”
The aim and nonsubjective of president Xi JinPing, in favour of a Community action for the future for humanity, is to strengthen global solidarity and cooperation in order to jointly address global challenges. China is the country that signed the United Nations Charter, co-founder, defender and beneficiary of the current global order. erstwhile you say “international order based on principles”, what principles do they mean? If it is the United Nations Charter, for China it is simply a set of rules which there is no uncertainty about, but if respective countries establish their own rules of global order which they impose on 3rd countries, It is hard for China to accept specified a situation.
De-risking
The first thing to find is what is risk? Where's the hazard coming from? How can China become a hazard erstwhile it provides stability, certainty, affirmative energy, economical improvement to the world? Regardless of how it is presented, the essence of the American “risk reduction” or “chain separation and breakdown” is “de-sinization”. These actions will not only not solve their own problems of the United States or another countries, but "eat themselves" and drag the planet along. Cooperation, including with the mediate State, offers the top opportunities for development. Without it there is no chance of global prosperity, no chance of China developing without global ties. China and the United States should be guided by the good of humanity, together leading global cooperation to face global threats.
Communication with the United States
China never denied communication. The open question is how is this communication expected to proceed? Is it possible to accomplish any results? erstwhile communicating, the parties should first respect each another and consult each another on an equal basis. Communication must be effective, it cannot be an art for art, it cannot only service as a tool to resolve its own concerns. You can't ignore the another side's concerns. And the crucial ones: it is not adequate to talk and declare, first and foremost to act.
China is ready to engage in constructive dialog in a spirit of common respect. The American side should besides show sincerity and take concrete action. The stabilisation of Chinese-American relations requires joint efforts from both China and the United States to meet halfway.
Crisis in Ukraine
China's position is very clear here. The parties to the conflict should be prompted to reconstruct peace through talks and political agreement. China supports all efforts to advance ceasefire, cease-fire, advance peace talks. China will proceed to keep an nonsubjective and honest position, convince peace and do nothing that deviates from the rules. They do not add fuel to the fire, and they do not take advantage of the chance to make additional profits.
No country can make China choose sides. It is incorrect to distort and slander the Chinese position and impose unilateral sanctions against Chinese companies and individuals.
If China truly has to choose the side, they will choose the side of peace, persuasion and talks and political agreement. any countries have asked China not to supply arms to Russia, while the planet clearly sees who delivers arms to the parties to the conflict. Therefore, China calls for conflicting countries to halt adding oil to the fire and halt slandering China.
US companies in China
The United States has over 70,000 companies in China. According to the American-China Chamber of Commerce, almost 90% of these companies are profitable and most of them want to stay and proceed to invest in China for at least 5 years. China will grow more and more. They will proceed to make market-oriented, law-abiding and internationally accepted standards. However, whether it is simply a Chinese company or a abroad company operating in China, it must act in accordance with the law here.
Chinese-American military contacts
The United States is well aware of the causes of the current difficulties in Chinese-American military relations. In order for the communication between the armed forces of both states to be standardised, it is essential for the US to remove obstacles specified as unilateral, unlawful sanctions against China. After removing specified obstacles, you can start talking about the exchange of information or cooperation between the 2 armies.
Commentary (Andrzej Zawadzki-Liang):
Can there be anything more unjust, harmful or even stupid than what president Joe Biden said during a pre-election conference in California? Only a day after the U.S. administration, followed by the media, announced Blinken's success in Beijing, who was there on a two-day visit to, among others, alleviate tensions between the 2 parties, establish crisis management mechanisms and establish areas of possible cooperation, president Biden calls president Xi JinPing a embarrassed dictator.
The U.S. Secretary of State's efforts thus went to the basket. Joe Biden should alternatively take care of his wellness and grandchildren and quit influence on the economical and military diplomacy of the world's largest state. In specified circumstances, it is hard to talk of any chance of building a healthy relation between powers. Biden is even more incompetent than his predecessor, possibly the least competent president of the United States in the last century.
The U.S. President's message evidently triggered the consequence of the government of the mediate State. A press spokesperson for the Ministry of abroad Affairs of the PRC stated that Biden's comments were “extremely absurd” and “irresponsible”. Thus Biden, according to the Chinese side, challenged the basic principles of the diplomatic protocol and violated China's political dignity. Biden, according to the Chinese Ministry of abroad Affairs, made an overt provocation.
The U.S. election run is gaining momentum and is getting sharper, and China will be a subject in which to score easy points. However, the liable leader should be aware that complicated, delicate Chinese-American relations are valid only for both powers, but besides for the world. Therefore, the liable leader should do everything to guarantee that these relations are at least correct.
Unfortunately, Joe Biden has no awareness of the burden of work on him as the president of the United States. And possibly it is in a state known in us “clear darkness”.
Anyway, you can't talk about thawing in American-Chinese relations. Sparks and sparks. Whose fault? It's clear as day.
Joe Biden is accused by Republicans, but besides by any Democrats, that he is showing besides “a submissive attitude towards China”. So he tries to convince his opponents that this is not the case...This is now what American–Chinese relations look like just 2 days after a visit to China by a advanced typical of the U.S. administration, a visit known as success and a return to dialogue.
With whom should China have this dialogue? With an irresponsible partner? Can he be taken seriously?
On Wednesday, June 21, the Chinese embassy in Washington stated that it had submitted a formal protest, and Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng handed over to elder White home officials and the State Department that Washington “should take sincere action to reverse the negative impact” of what Biden said or “to bear all the consequences.”
“Due to fresh irresponsible remarks on China’s political strategy and their ultimate leader, it is impossible to refrain from questioning the sincerity of the US side in seeking to stabilise relations,” the embassy stated in a statement. “The Chinese government and nation do not accept any political provocations against China's ultimate leader and will definitely respond to them.”
