Xinhua News Agency, Luxembourg, June 13 (Reporter Ren Ke and Li Chao) On June 13 local time, Yang Jiechi, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), held a meeting in Luxembourg with Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs of the United States Sullivan.
The two sides had candid, in-depth and constructive communication and exchanges on China-US relations and other issues of common concern, and agreed to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state as the main line, strengthen contacts and dialogues, reduce misunderstandings and misjudgments, and properly manage differences. .
Both parties believe that it is necessary and beneficial to keep the communication channels smooth.
Yang Jiechi pointed out that President Biden has repeatedly stated to President Xi Jinping that the United States does not seek to fight a "new Cold War", does not seek to change China's system, does not seek to oppose China by strengthening alliances, does not support "Taiwan independence", and has no intention of conflict with China.
China attaches great importance to this.
However, for a period of time, the United States has insisted on increasing all-round containment and suppression of China, which not only fails to solve the problems faced by the United States itself, but also brings China-US relations into a very difficult situation, which greatly damages the exchanges and cooperation between the two countries in the bilateral field. , this situation is not in the interests of both China and the United States and the rest of the world.
Yang Jiechi said that China-US relations are at a critical crossroads.
The three principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation put forward by President Xi Jinping are the correct way for China and the United States to get along.
The Chinese side is willing to discuss with the US side the paths and methods to realize this vision.
China firmly opposes the use of competition to define Sino-US relations.
The U.S. side should correct its strategic perception of China, make the right choice, and translate President Biden's "four nonsense" remarks into practical actions, meet China halfway, and earnestly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state.
Yang Jiechi stressed that China's position on safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity is unequivocal and firm.
China's internal affairs allow no interference from other countries, and any attempt to obstruct or undermine China's national unity will be a complete failure.
The Taiwan issue concerns the political foundation of China-US relations, and if it is not handled properly, it will have subversive effects.
This risk not only exists, but will continue to increase as the United States engages in "using Taiwan to control China" and the Taiwan authorities engage in "relying on the United States to seek independence".
The US should not have any misjudgments and illusions, and must abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, and must handle Taiwan-related issues prudently and properly.
Yang Jiechi also stated China's solemn position on issues related to Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Tibet, the South China Sea, human rights and religion.
Yang Jiechi stressed that the U.S. side should have positive interactions with the Chinese side and make joint efforts for the prosperity, stability and development of the Asia-Pacific region.
The two sides also exchanged views on international and regional issues such as Ukraine and the DPRK nuclear issue.
