High-level Chinese and American officials started last Thursday (March 18) in Alaska, the United States, for two consecutive days of talks, during which the representatives of the two countries faced each other. After the meeting, both sides said there were differences. Among them, the United States mentioned the human rights issues in Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang. , And China’s policy towards Taiwan, aroused strong dissatisfaction with China.

Xu Zhen, research director of the Hong Kong Zhiming Research Institute, said on a TV program in Hong Kong and Taiwan this morning (22) that in the talks between China and the United States, each other was "stunned" by each other. There was also a smell of gunpowder, but this is always a form of communication. .

He expects that issues involving Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc., which China regards as China's internal affairs, will not be a matter for negotiation with the United States.

The content of the U.S. side's speech has caused China to be overwhelmed by the overtime, but the color is returned

Xu Zhen said that the opening remarks of the dialogue between China and the United States, the timing and the smell of gunpowder between each other are a little bit confusing, but in terms of current Sino-US relations, it is still appropriate.

He pointed out that although "different to each other," it is always a form of communication. He hopes that the two countries can establish a regular communication mechanism in the future.

As for the Chinese representative’s accusations of serious overtime, Xu Zhen said that both China and the United States have their own reasons for the other's surprise. The Chinese side is the time arrangement, and the US side is the content of the speech.

He mentioned that this meeting is actually the US initiative to invite China to participate in the United States, and in diplomatic etiquette "no reason to smash others". If the Chinese side is dissatisfied with the content of the US side's speech and does not return the color, it will be regarded as To show weakness to the United States is not in line with the current position of China and the United States in the international arena, so the timing of the speech will also surprise the United States.

Xu Zhen also mentioned that in the earlier conversation between President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Biden, Biden reiterated the three directions of Sino-U.S. relations: There will be fierce competition between China and the United States; competition does not mean conflict; There is room for cooperation on issues such as the epidemic.

He pointed out that the most important thing is to define what is called competition and conflict, but for China, the issues of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang, and Tibet are China’s internal affairs rather than competition, and it will not be an issue that China and the United States can cooperate or discuss. As for other international affairs, such as trade frictions and other "who makes the cheapest", I believe that there is room for coordination between China and the United States.
