Beijing claims that based on the basic principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation, it has listed five major focus goals for Blinken’s visit to China, among which the Taiwan issue is an “untouchable red line.”
Based on Chinese media reports, these five goals are:

First, establish a correct understanding.China has always believed that great power competition is not the background of this era, nor can it solve the problems facing China, the United States and the world. Relations between the two sides should be stable. At the same time, China also has interests, principles and bottom lines that must be safeguarded. It urges President Biden of the United States to fulfill the promise made during the previous meeting between the two heads of state and not to continue to contain, contain and suppress China in the name of “competition.”
Second, strengthen dialogue.China’s door to dialogue and communication is always open, but the United States must also realize that it cannot communicate for the sake of communication, nor can it say one thing and do another, let alone fantasize about dealing with China from a so-called “position of strength.” The alliance system is a product of the Cold War, an outdated Cold War mentality and a zero-sum game concept. The United States is obsessed with coercing allies and creating an anti-China clique. It is completely against the trend, is unpopular and has no way out.
Third, effectively manage differences.China and the United States will have differences in the past, present, and future, but they cannot let differences dominate Sino-US relations and must adhere to full-process management. China requires the United States, especially not to touch Beijing’s issues such as Taiwan, democracy and human rights, the road system, and the right to development. red line. Among them, the Taiwan issue is the first insurmountable red line in Sino-US relations. It reiterates that Taiwan is part of China and the Taiwan issue is China’s internal affairs. “Taiwan independence” and peace in the Taiwan Strait are incompatible. The biggest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the “Taiwan independence” forces. China will never let separatist activities and external connivance and support go unchecked. Therefore, China firmly opposes the recent wrong words and deeds of the United States on the Taiwan issue. It urges the United States to abide by the one-China and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, oppose Taiwan independence, stop arming Taiwan, and stop interfering in China’s internal affairs. , supports China’s peaceful reunification.

In addition, the United States’ intensified suppression of China’s economic, trade and technology has seriously damaged China’s interests. This is not removing risks, but creating risks. The so-called “China’s overcapacity theory” is a false narrative, and behind it is the evil intention to contain and suppress China’s industrial development. It is naked economic coercion and bullying. We firmly oppose the United States’ politicization of economic, trade and science and technology issues. Suppressing China’s science and technology is curbing China’s high-quality development and depriving the Chinese people of their legitimate rights to development. China will respond resolutely.
As for the South China Sea issue, China is also firmly opposed to the United States intervening to sow discord between China and ASEAN. It emphasizes that China has “indisputable sovereignty” over the South China Sea islands and adjacent waters. China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests are inviolable. China safeguards its The determination of legal rights is unswerving and agrees to dialogue between all parties. However, the United States is not a party to the South China Sea issue, so it should not intervene, let alone disrupt the situation.
Fourth, promote mutually beneficial cooperation.The United States and China have made some progress in the fields of drug control, law enforcement, technology, artificial intelligence, agriculture, health, climate change, etc., which shows that China and the United States have extensive common interests and can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. For example, fentanyl is not a problem for China, nor is it a problem for China. The problem is not caused by China, but China does not stand idly by and is willing to provide assistance to the American people. Therefore, China-US anti-drug cooperation has made progress.
Fifth, we must jointly shoulder the responsibilities of major powers.China and the United States are both permanent members of the Security Council and bear special responsibilities for maintaining international peace and security. The international community is extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with the United States’ exclusive veto of Palestine becoming a full member of the United Nations in the Security Council. This matter should not be the result of Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, but should provide equal negotiating conditions to Palestine. It is also an important step towards a two-state solution. . When it comes to abiding by international law and the rules of the Security Council, the United States has no exceptions or privileges. It should put aside its hegemonic mentality, work with other member states to fulfill its due international responsibilities, support Security Council Resolution 2728, promote the realization of a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza as soon as possible, and save the country. The Palestinian people are in dire straits.
In addition, the Ukrainian crisis is at risk of further deterioration and escalation. We should promote de-escalation and end the war through negotiations rather than guns. The political solution is not about who wins and who loses, but about letting peace prevail. China is not the creator or party to the Ukraine crisis. It has always maintained an objective and fair stance, actively promoted peace talks and promoted political settlement. China will continue to play a constructive role in this regard. Therefore, the United States needs to truly reflect on its responsibilities in the Ukraine crisis. Responsibility, do not do anything to add fuel to the fire or take advantage of the opportunity, and do not attack or discredit the normal state-to-state relations between China and Russia, provoke confrontation between the camps, let alone slander, slander, and blame China. The United States should immediately stop indiscriminately imposing unilateral sanctions on Chinese companies and individuals. After all, the Ukraine issue is not an issue between China and the United States, and the United States should not want to turn it into a China-US issue.
