On November 15th local time, the heads of state of China and the United States held a meeting at the Philadelphia Manor in San Francisco, USA. This is another face-to-face exchange between the two heads of state after a 10-year hiatus, which has attracted close global attention.
It is worth noting that this meeting lasted for a total of four hours, and simultaneous interpretation was used throughout the entire process. After the meeting, Biden also invited Chinese leaders to take a walk in the Filory Manor and personally bid farewell to the boarding station. It is reported that such "estate diplomacy" is one of the highest forms of American diplomacy, highlighting the high importance that the United States attaches to this meeting. And this is just one of the many details of the meeting between the two heads of state, while there are many other noteworthy details.
One of the details: The US side has reiterated China's concerns about "returning to Bali". Prior to the China US dollar summit, the White House spokesperson expressed the meaning of "returning to Bali" in his statement, and "returning to Bali" is precisely the premise that China has proposed and continuously paid attention to, promoting the return of China US relations to the track of healthy, stable, and sustainable development. The repetition of China's statement by the US side this time also indicates that the US has finally realized that it cannot repeat the mistake of not implementing the consensus between the two heads of state, which is an unbearable burden for the US side.
Detail 2: Speaking of the progress of the meeting, Biden raised his thumbs. Just as the leaders of China and the United States were taking a walk on the estate, President Biden raised his thumbs in response to inquiries from American journalists about the progress of the meeting between the two countries. For the head of state, this move is rare, indicating that the US head of state is satisfied with the results or consensus achieved in this meeting.
Indeed, the two sides reached at least 20 consensus points during the meeting, including the establishment of a China US working group on the drug issue; Restore and rebuild communication channels between the Chinese and American militaries, hold meetings on the consultation mechanism for maritime security encounters between China and the United States, and establish a leadership communication and dialogue mechanism at the theater level between the two militaries; Further increase direct flights between China and the United States; Continue to expand exchanges in folk education, culture, sports, and business.
Detail 3: Extension and expansion from the "Pacific" to the "Earth". Chinese leaders pointed out that "this earth can accommodate China and the United States, and our respective successes are opportunities for each other." This statement has been cited by many foreign media. Regarding the relationship between China and the United States, Chinese leaders once pointed out that the vast Pacific Ocean can accommodate both China and the United States, but now it is "this Earth, can accommodate both China and the United States". This is a further enhancement of the pattern and perspective.
Detail 4: The number of people who understand China has increased among the US government's participation in meetings and the team responsible for China affairs. One of the most significant changes compared to last year's Bali meeting was the participation of White House National Economic Commission Director Brenard. Brainard has participated in relevant affairs related to China's accession to the World Trade Organization. Brainard is well aware of the necessity of Sino US cooperation. Meanwhile, this year, Bertrand succeeded Rosenberg as the new Senior Director of China Affairs at the White House National Security Council. Bertrand has served as the Deputy Economic Counselor at the US Embassy in China and has conducted research on the rural collective property rights system in various parts of China. All of these indicate that in order to improve Sino US relations, the US has reused some genuine "know China factions".
Detail 5: American business people hope to meet with Chinese leaders. On the meeting list, there are Citigroup head Fraser, ExxonMobil Chairman Woods, Microsoft head Nadella, Tesla head Musk, and so on. These individuals represent fields such as finance, energy, and technology in the United States.
In response to measures such as tariffs imposed by the United States on China in recent years, which have continued to harm the interests of American companies, the National Committee on US China Trade, the American Chamber of Commerce, the American Automobile Manufacturers Association, and the International Semiconductor Industry Association have all expressed their opinions on policies such as investment restrictions imposed by the US government on China. These representatives hope to strengthen cooperation with China and the United States, which is a move to break the US government's "small courtyard high wall" policy and is in line with the common and long-term interests of the two peoples.
Currently, the world is facing various global issues, as well as serious local conflicts such as the Russia Ukraine War and the Palestine Israel War. These issues require the full cooperation and joint response of countries around the world, especially the two major powers of China and the United States. I believe that the cooperation between the two countries will take this San Francisco meeting as an opportunity to move towards a broader stage and make greater contributions to promoting world peace and enhancing human well-being.
