US SecState urges China to deescalate tensions, stay clear of taking any unilateral actions towards Taiwan

 

US - China - Taiwan


On Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in the G2o Summit, urged China to deescalate tensions in the Indo-pacific region, and refrained from taking unilateral actions towards Taiwan.

 

Blinken said at the G20 meeting that China has expanded pressures concerning Taiwan and that Washington needs to proceed with its "one-China strategy," which perceives Beijing yet permits informal relations and continues defence tie with Taipei. 

 

The top U.S. ambassador told Wang that the U.S. had not changed its "one China" strategy towards Taiwan. 

 

Blinken stated that the U.S. goes against activities by China "that oppose our interests and values... including activities associated with human rights violations in Xinjiang, Tibet. 

 

The U.S. had left formal political relations with Taipei in 1979 to recognise Beijing. The U.S. doesn't straightforwardly challenge China's case to Taiwan; however, it is bound by law to guarantee that the island can safeguard itself and regard all intimidations toward it as matters of serious concern.

 

One of the main objectives of the United States is to keep an open line of correspondence with Beijing and schedule a virtual online meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden for talks.

 

A senior official of the State Department expressed the talks as fair, productive and effective, saying that Blinken was open about U.S. interests during the approximately hour-long conference.

 

The Chinese Foreign Ministry declaration stated that Wang, while criticising the United States for a sharp decline in relationships, announced he would want to build regular communication with Blinken to exchange opinions on handling the issues between their two nations and avoid biases explore more cooperation in future.

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests."
