We must not only lead the development of China-US relations on the right track, but also shoulder our due international responsibilities and make efforts for world peace and tranquility.

"On the evening of the 18th, Beijing time, Chinese President Xi Jinping made a video call with US President Joe Biden at the invitation, which showed the political wisdom and responsibility of a leader of a major country.

　　This is the second "cloud exchange" between the leaders of the two countries after the video meeting between the heads of China and the United States in November 2021.

Four months later, the international situation has undergone major new changes.

Under the fire of NATO led by the United States, the contradiction between Russia and Ukraine intensified step by step, and finally a military conflict broke out.

As the initiator of the Ukraine crisis, the US has not only ignored its own responsibilities, but has continued to fabricate false information against China, exerting great pressure and coercion in an attempt to shift conflicts and take advantage of opportunities.

This has brought more challenges to China-US relations and added more destabilizing factors to world peace.

　　At the critical moment, the leaders of China and the United States held a video call again to have a candid and in-depth exchange of views on issues of common concern such as China-US relations and the situation in Ukraine, which is undoubtedly of great significance to both countries and the world.

　　In this call, Biden reiterated his commitment to "Four Nos, One Unintentional", namely: the United States does not seek to fight a "new Cold War" with China, does not seek to change China's system, does not seek to oppose China by strengthening alliances, and does not support "Taiwan independence" ", with no intention of conflict with China.

In this regard, Xi Jinping expressed "great importance", and pointed out that the current situation of Sino-US relations is "directly because some people in the United States have not implemented the important consensus reached by the two of us, nor have Mr. President's positive remarks fallen into place. Actual. The U.S. misread and misjudged China's strategic intentions."

　　This frank and direct statement not only points out the real reason that the US has not fulfilled its promises, but also shows the deep misunderstanding of the US's perception of China as an "imaginary enemy". It is an accurate pulse of the crux of Sino-US relations.

　　Among them, the Taiwan issue is the most complex and sensitive issue in Sino-US relations.

The current US administration has repeatedly promised to uphold the one-China policy, but what it has done has gone against the grain, seriously undermining the peace across the Taiwan Strait and exacerbating tensions between China and the US.

During the meeting, President Xi pointed out that some people in the United States sent the wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces, "this is very dangerous", and stressed that if the Taiwan issue is not handled properly, it will have a subversive impact on the relationship between the two countries.

This is China's top leader once again stating a solemn position and issuing a clear warning on the Taiwan issue.

The U.S. side must pay enough attention and be cautious in its words and deeds, so as not to get burned.

　　During this meeting, President Xi once again talked about "international responsibility" and reiterated China's foothold on handling the Ukraine crisis.

President Xi also emphasized, "As leaders of major countries, we must consider properly resolving global hotspot issues, and more importantly, global stability and the production and life of billions of people. Implementing all-round and indiscriminate sanctions, it is the common people who suffer." President Xi pointed out that the "top priority" for resolving the Ukrainian crisis is to continue dialogue and negotiation, avoid civilian casualties, prevent humanitarian crises, and stop the fighting at an early date.

The "long-term solution" lies in the mutual respect between major powers, abandoning the Cold War mentality, and refraining from engaging in camp confrontation, and gradually build a balanced, effective and sustainable global and regional security architecture.

　　It can be seen that China has provided an overall plan for resolving the Ukrainian crisis.

It includes both principled positions and specific approaches; there are both symptoms and root causes.

These initiatives and propositions contain Chinese wisdom and embody profound feelings for people's livelihood. They are China's latest efforts to resolve the crisis in Ukraine.

　　"The more complicated the situation is, the more it is necessary to remain calm and rational. Under any circumstances, we must show political courage, create space for peace, and leave room for political settlement." Xi Jinping's words are thought-provoking.

The trouble should end it.

During the meeting, the U.S. side expressed its willingness to communicate with the Chinese side to prevent the situation from escalating.

Say it and do it.

If the United States seeks China's support and cooperation on the one hand, and attacks and smears China and threatens sanctions on the other, it will not work at all.

　　It is worth noting that the video meeting between the heads of China and the United States coincides with the 50th anniversary of the issuance of the "Shanghai Communiqué" between China and the United States.

At that time, the older generation of leaders of China and the United States realized that although China and the United States had differences, they did not change each other's intentions and could cooperate based on common interests.

This is the important spirit of the "Shanghai Communiqué", which is still valid 50 years later.

Biden mentioned the "Shanghai Communiqué" during the meeting, arguing that the development of US-China relations will shape the world pattern in the 21st century.

To answer this question, the US may wish to draw wisdom from history.

　　"A stable and developing Sino-US relationship is beneficial to both sides." According to the consensus of the two heads of state, the video call was constructive, and the working teams of the two countries were instructed to follow up in a timely manner.

It is hoped that the US will be faithful to its words, take concrete actions to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, and fulfill President Biden's political commitment.

Whether it is to bring China-US relations back on track or to properly resolve the Ukraine crisis, the US should not let China and the world down again this time!
