China News Service, Beijing, March 19 (Reporter Zhang Su) On the 19th, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian answered questions about the high-level strategic dialogue between China and the United States many times during a regular press conference.

In the meantime, he repeatedly reiterated the original intention of China to participate in the meeting.

  Talking about the original intention: It is the proposal of the US, and the Chinese side has a sincere and constructive attitude

  On March 18, local time, Yang Jiechi, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, and State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi held a Sino-US high-level meeting in Anchorage with Secretary of State Blincoln and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Sullivan Strategic dialogue.

  Subsequently, the Chinese side respectively issued press releases explaining China’s position in the opening remarks of the China-US high-level strategic dialogue by Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi.

Officials of the Chinese delegation gave a background briefing on the China-US high-level strategic dialogue.

  The outside world noticed that the opening remarks this time were full of gunpowder and drama.

As the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China was about to begin, reporters were watching a video of Yang Jiechi's solemn statement.

  When Zhao Lijian signaled the start of the regular press conference, CNN reporters were the first to get the opportunity to ask questions.

He quoted a US official saying that "China's performance shows that China's visit to Alaska seems to focus more on dramatic performance rather than substantive talks" and asked China's response.

  Zhao Lijian replied that the Chinese side was invited to Anchorage to conduct a strategic dialogue with the US in good faith, and was ready to conduct the dialogue in accordance with the procedures and arrangements agreed upon in advance by both parties.

  "It's because the U.S. did not abide by the prior agreement on the time for speaking. It was the U.S. provoking and provoking disputes first. So the two sides were full of gunpowder and drama in the opening remarks from the beginning. This is not the original intention of the Chinese side."

  Zhao Lijian said that when the members of the Chinese delegation arrived in Alaska, they not only felt the cold weather in Alaska, but also felt the hospitality of the American host.

  Another Japanese reporter believes that there is a contradiction in what the Chinese side said about "pre-agreement" based on the fact that the United States did not use the term "high-level strategic dialogue."

Zhao Lijian emphasized that the holding of a high-level strategic dialogue is a proposal of the United States, and China agrees and participates.

  Talking about the "dinner": Fully communicate and implement the spirit of the conversation between the two heads of state

  On the 19th local time, the third meeting of the China-US high-level strategic dialogue will be held.

Zhao Lijian also said that there was a "dinner" after the opening remarks.

  "We hope that in the subsequent closed-door talks between the two sides, the two sides can implement the spirit of the two heads of state through full communication and exchanges, and that the Sino-US relations can be back on track through this dialogue." He said.

  Talking about how to view the significance of this high-level strategic dialogue, Zhao Lijian said that China has always believed that China's agreement to hold this high-level strategic dialogue with the US is an important measure to implement the spirit of the conversation between the two heads of state.

This was also decided by the two heads of state personally.

  "We think this dialogue is a good opportunity for both parties to strengthen communication, manage differences, and expand cooperation. This dialogue will have important guiding significance for the development of Sino-US relations in the future. The people of our two countries and the international community are looking forward to this time. Dialogue can achieve pragmatic results." He said.

  Some reporters also asked what a "good practical result" is. Zhao Lijian said that the Chinese delegation will release news in a timely manner, so please stay tuned.
