[Global Times-Global Network Report] On March 18, an unnamed Chinese official told the Global Times at an inquiry that President Xi Jinping will exchange views with President Biden on China-US relations and the situation in Ukraine on the evening of the 18th.
This is proposed by the US side.
From the needs of developing Sino-US relations, promoting peace talks on the Ukraine issue, and urging the US side to take a correct position, China agreed to the US side's proposal.
Unsurprisingly, some senior U.S. officials have made irresponsible remarks and spread false news in the past two days. They have been "splashing dirty water" on China on the Ukraine issue and exerting great pressure and coercion.
This practice has become the standard of the US before high-level contacts between China and the US. It is very immoral and irresponsible.
Since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, China has made independent judgments and constructive efforts based on the merits of the matter itself, upholds a consistent foreign policy, respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, abides by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and attaches importance to the legitimate security concerns of all countries. Support all efforts that contribute to the peaceful resolution of the crisis.
Who is upright and who is scheming?
Who is de-escalating and who is raising tensions?
Who is persuading peace and promoting talks, and who is adding fuel to the fire?
Who is maintaining peace and stability and who is provoking group confrontation?
The international community has its own public opinion.
As the initiator and directly related party of this crisis, what the US should do is to reflect on the role it has played, the role the US has played so far, earnestly assume historical responsibility, and take concrete actions to resolve the Ukraine crisis , to win the trust of the international community.
Who is on the right side of history and who is on the wrong side of history will be proven by history, not by individual countries and individuals.
China will never accept the US threat and coercion.
If the measures taken by the U.S. side harm China's legitimate interests and the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies and individuals, China will not sit idly by and will respond forcefully.
The US side should not have any illusions or misjudgment about this.
The official also said that China will continue to urge the U.S. side to keep its word and implement President Biden's statement that he does not seek a new Cold War, does not seek to change China's system, does not seek to strengthen alliances against China, does not support "Taiwan independence", and has no intention of cooperating with China. China's commitment to conflict confrontation.
China urges the US to uphold the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, and work with China to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, so as to push China-US relations back to the right track of healthy and stable development at an early date.
