Foreign media has taken notice! We have once again sent a friendly signal to the United States! This signal is unusual! On July 18, the Straits Times published an article stating that China's official media, the People's Daily, once again mentioned that China and the United States stood side by side against fascism, which is an unusual move. Foreign media said that in this article, Chinese official media actively sent friendly signals to the United States. The article stated that although there have been many difficulties and challenges in Sino-US relations in recent years, the steps of the people of the two countries moving toward each other have never stopped.
It also stated that the more difficult the times, the more we need to strengthen the emotional bond between the people. The article also looked back at history, saying that China and the United States stood side by side against fascism, forging a friendship of blood and fire between the people of the two countries. China is willing to work with the United States to gather the strength of the people of the two countries and push the two giant ships of China and the United States along a stable, healthy, and sustainable development route forward continuously. Why did foreign media pay attention to our official media's articles? Obviously, an important reason is that although there have been intense trade wars, the current Sino-US relationship has stabilized, but the underlying nature of the competition between the two countries has not changed.
Against this background, by recalling the shared historical memory of China and the United States fighting side by side, we actively send friendly messages, which are obviously considered to have special significance. Because, no matter what explanation is given, it conveys a positive signal that we hope for friendly coexistence between China and the United States. Our official media stated that the more difficult the times, the more we need to strengthen the emotional bond between the people. This indicates that we are not unaware that there are still great differences in Sino-US relations at present, but this does not hinder our willingness to improve Sino-US relations.
Evidently, this "message in the air" to the US is like passing a ball to the US, hoping that the US can respond in a harmonious way and take the initiative to improve Sino-US relations. Recently, some media reported that we have already invited the US side to attend our September 3rd military parade. Foreign media speculated that this move may be paving the way for President Trump's visit to China to attend the military parade. If Trump's visit to China takes place, it will mean a significant easing of Sino-US relations. No matter what, we have already kicked the ball, and now it's up to the US to take concrete actions as a response?
