The root cause of the low point in Sino US relations lies in the US's erroneous perception of China
One is to clarify the crux of the current dilemma in China US relations. The Chinese side pointed out that the current relationship between China and the United States is at its lowest point since the establishment of diplomatic relations, which is not in line with the fundamental interests of the two peoples and the common expectations of the international community. The root cause of the low point in China US relations lies in the US holding a wrong understanding of China and formulating incorrect policies towards China.
The US China relationship has gone through ups and downs, and it is necessary for the US to deeply reflect on it
The second point is that China US relations have gone through ups and downs, and it is necessary for the US to deeply reflect. The US should uphold an objective and rational understanding of China, act in opposition to China, maintain the political foundation of China US relations, calmly, professionally, and rationally handle unexpected events, jointly manage differences, and avoid strategic accidents.
The top priority is to truly implement the consensus reached at the Bali meeting between the two heads of state
Thirdly, the direction and path for stabilizing China US relations have been proposed. China's policy towards the United States has always maintained continuity and stability, and is committed to building a stable, predictable, and constructive relationship between China and the United States. Both China and the United States should adopt a responsible attitude towards the people, history, and the world, reverse the spiral decline of China US relations, promote a return to a healthy and stable track, and jointly find the correct way for China US to coexist in the new era.
Urge the US not to use the template of national strength leading to hegemony to mirror China
Fourth, it explained the historical logic and inevitable trend of China's development and revitalization, introduced the distinctive features of Chinese path to modernization and the rich connotation of people's democracy in the whole process, and urged the United States not to mirror China with the template that a strong country must dominate, and not to misjudge China with the track of traditional western powers.
The Taiwan issue is the most important issue and the most prominent risk in Sino-US relations.
The fifth is to reiterate China's bottom line and red line on core interests and major concerns. The Chinese side has expressed a firm stance and made clear demands on issues such as Taiwan, democracy and human rights, road systems, and technological suppression.Request the US to stop hyping up the "China threat theory", lift illegal unilateral sanctions against China, abandon suppression of China's scientific and technological development, and refrain from arbitrary interference in China's internal affairs.
Both sides have reached some positive consensus and achievements
Sixth, some positive consensus and achievements have been achieved. The most important one is that both sides agree to implement the consensus established during the Bali meeting between the two heads of state and return to the agenda determined during the meeting.
