Foreign Minister Wang Yi directly criticized the United States, and Secretary of State Rubio rarely said a single hard word! On September 11, according to foreign media reports, China and the United States held a ministerial-level call. During the call, our foreign minister explicitly criticized the U.S. side, stating that the negative actions and words taken by the U.S. in recent times have damaged China's legitimate rights and interests, interfered in China's internal affairs, and are not conducive to the improvement and development of Sino-U.S. relations, which China clearly opposes. Especially on issues involving China's core interests, such as Taiwan, the U.S. must be cautious with its words and deeds.
Face with our criticism, the chief deputy spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, Tommy Piggott, stated afterward that during the call, Rubio emphasized the importance of open and constructive communication between the two sides on a series of bilateral issues. In addition, both sides discussed bilateral relations as well as regional and global issues. Obviously, from the information released by the U.S. side afterward, it turned out that Rubio did not say a single hard word to us, but instead emphasized the importance of communication between China and the United States.
As the most representative anti-China figure in the American political arena, Rubio's behavior is obviously very unusual. Of course, making reasonable speculation, the fact that China and the United States have had close ministerial and foreign minister-level communications in a short time may mean that the U.S. expects higher-level meetings between China and the United States to take place. In fact, in July this year, the Chinese and U.S. foreign ministers met in Malaysia. At that time, Rubio claimed that he was confident that the highest-level meeting between China and the United States would take place within this year.
Previously, there were media reports that Trump planned to attend the APEC Summit held in South Korea. Obviously, facilitating the meeting between China and the United States is part of Rubio's duties, who also serves as the U.S. National Security Advisor. Our foreign minister spoke so strongly, which is clearly an unambiguous message to the United States that the U.S. must correct its wrong actions and keep the Sino-U.S. relationship on the right track, which is an important prerequisite for achieving high-level diplomatic meetings between the two countries. Obviously, what happens next will depend on what the U.S. does?
