The “Xi-Xi meeting” ended. In response to the remarks made by mainland President Xi Jinping on the Taiwan issue, Yang Yongming, a professor of political science at National Taiwan University, said today that Xi Jinping did not draw a red line, but a restricted area. The problem is the core of China’s core interests” and “the first insurmountable red line”. Taiwan and the United States have no intersection on the Taiwan issue, and the confrontation is even deeper!
Yang Yongming pointed out that for this meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping, he has four observations: US-China relations, fighting without breaking;
He said that on March 22, 1953, the New York Times reported: “Soviet propaganda changed, acknowledging that the United States helped win World War II.” The title of the inside page uses “Peaceful Rivalry” (Peaceful Rivalry), pointing out that Soviet propaganda emphasized that the United States and the Soviet Union are two countries with different political systems. Although they compete with each other, they can cooperate peacefully.
Yang Yongming believes that both sides of the Xi-Xi meeting yesterday had similar ideas. Xi Jinping emphasized that China and the United States should cooperate with all countries to bring about world peace. Biden emphasized the importance of avoiding conflicts between the United States and the world expects cooperation between the United States and China. But can the two sides really fight without breaking up and maintain a peaceful confrontational relationship?
In fact, he said, the new Cold War between China and the United States has already begun! After Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan and the military exercise surrounding Taiwan in August, the United States and China suspended the communication channels on substantive issues. This time the heads of state of the two sides met and talked to reconnect the basis of interaction. Although the topics discussed are more false than real, they agree that the U.S. Secretary of State Blinken will discuss next year. Visit Beijing.
Yang Yongming pointed out that the Taiwan issue that we are concerned about exploded at this meeting. Before the meeting, Biden said that he would discuss the “Taiwan Strait Red Line” with Xi. During the meeting, he carefully explained that the “U.S. One China” policy has not changed, but he opposes any change of the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and the mainland’s coercion of Taiwan. This is the “Taiwan Strait Peace Red Line” of the United States. .
Xi Jinping said to Biden, “The Taiwan issue is the core of China’s core interests, the foundation of the political foundation of Sino-US relations, and the first insurmountable red line in Sino-US relations.” He also told Biden: “The President Mr. President has said many times that he does not support “Taiwan independence” and has no intention of using Taiwan as a tool to seek a competitive advantage over China or to contain China. I hope that the US will implement Mr. President’s promise.”
Yang Yongming interpreted that Xi Jinping did not draw a red line, but a restricted area! “Anti-Taiwan independence and anti-foreign forces intervening in restricted areas”, especially “Taiwan issue is the core of China’s core interests” and “the first insurmountable red line”. The two sides have no intersection on the Taiwan issue, and the confrontation is deeper!
In addition, he said that the concept of core interests is also worth discussing. Xi Jinping said that the Taiwan issue is the core of China’s core interests, but is the Taiwan issue the core interest of the United States? Treasury Secretary Yellen and Secretary of State Blinken, who attended the meeting and sat on the left and right sides of Biden, respectively pointed out in September that the excessive concentration of semiconductors in Taiwan has caused risks to the national security of the United States, and the de-Taiwanization of semiconductors is a definite policy. It seems that it is difficult for Taiwan to become the core interest of the United States!”
