Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Rubio during the Munich Security Conference.
Minister Wang said that the two heads of state have provided strategic guidance for the development of Sino-US relations. As an executive level, we should jointly implement the important consensus and make this year a year in which China and the United States move toward mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.
This is the best strategy to deal with Rubio. This person has deep-seated prejudices and discrimination against China's system. Just before arriving in Munich, he was still making outrageous remarks.
The strategy to deal with Rubio is to use the overall situation of Sino-US relations to suppress his strong political tendencies. Even if he has ulterior motives, it cannot interfere with what Trump wants. As Secretary of State, the responsibility is to play a role in coordinating political and diplomatic channels, serve high-level interactions, and strengthen dialogue and cooperation.
Both sides agreed that the meeting was "positive and constructive." Rubie is busy with presidential duties and must lay the groundwork in advance.
Whether or not one likes China is secondary; the priority is the overall situation of Sino-US relations!
Minister Wang said that Sino-US dialogue is better than confrontation, cooperation is better than conflict, and win-win is better than zero-sum. We should adhere to equality, respect, and mutual benefit to address each other's concerns and manage differences properly.
For Americans, we still need to be sincere, patient, and persistent. The big principles and great truths must be told every day, every month, and every year: "We should work together to continuously extend the list of cooperation and shrink the list of problems."
Whether China and the United States can move toward a stable, healthy, and sustainable development track depends on President Trump's visit to China earlier this year.
