What's the intention? The US Secretary of State’s first foreign policy speech listed “eight priorities” and individually named China
[Global Network Reporter Bian Zihao] According to NBC and other US media reports, US Secretary of State Blincoln delivered the first foreign policy speech during his term on the 3rd.
In his speech, he declared that China is the biggest "geopolitical test" of the United States in the 21st century and the only country that can pose a "challenge" to the existing international order, and listed China as one of the so-called "eight priorities" of US diplomacy.
According to reports, Brinken said that the United States and China "compete when they should compete, cooperate when they can cooperate, and confront when they must confront."
He also claimed that China is the only country that has economic, diplomatic, military and technological strength to pose a major challenge to a stable and open international system.
NBC mentioned that Brinken listed the so-called "eight priorities" of U.S. diplomacy that day, and China was the only country listed by him.
These "eight priorities" include: fighting off the new crown epidemic, rebuilding the economy, renewing the democratic system, reforming immigration policies, strengthening alliances, tackling climate change, maintaining high-tech leadership, and responding to China's challenges.
In addition, Brinken also criticized China on human rights, Hong Kong-related issues, and Xinjiang-related issues.
Prior to this, Brinken made the so-called "counter-China" remarks more than once.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin previously stated that China has always been committed to maintaining and practicing multilateralism, actively participating in global governance, and has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order.
This is obvious to all in the international community.
At the same time, China has always believed that only by practicing true multilateralism can all parties maintain world peace, stability and development.
On March 3, when discussing China-US relations, Wang Wenbin also emphasized that he hopes that the US will view China and China-US relations in an objective and rational manner, adopt a rational and pragmatic policy toward China, and meet the Chinese side halfway. Doing more is conducive to enhancing mutual trust and cooperation between China and the United States. This has pushed China-US relations back to the track of healthy and stable development.
