【The Chinese side's statement can be summed up in one sentence: The time has come to test Trump!】#BabyMarvin合约f9c7
The Chinese side's statement regarding Trump's victory in the election is clearly different from the previous administration: first, congratulating Trump on his election on the same day shows our emphasis on Sino-US relations; secondly, the statement came from a spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rather than a higher level, matching the current state of Sino-US relations. Due to unilateral actions from the US side, the relationship between the two countries is still in a thawing state and cannot be described as warm. The first sentence of the Chinese statement, 'Respect the choice of the beautiful country's people,' means that electing a new president is the internal matter of the United States, and we do not interfere in the US's internal affairs. Similarly, based on the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, the beautiful country should not interfere or meddle in our affairs, such as those concerning Taiwan and the South China Sea. Besides this, the Chinese statement did not mention anything else. After the isolationist Trump came to power, European countries fear that the beautiful country will withdraw from the Russia-Ukraine battlefield, leaving them 'abandoned' by the US in the field of 'collective security'; meanwhile, countries in the Asia-Pacific region like Japan, South Korea, and Australia have an additional concern that Trump might significantly increase the amount of 'protection fees.' The attitude displayed by the Chinese side is the most normal and equal. We hope to develop relations with the US and other countries on an equal footing, undeterred by Trump’s threats of 'tax increases of 60% or even 200%' and unafraid of any consequences that may arise from Trump's usual extreme pressure tactics. Thus, we can demonstrate such a graceful demeanor of a great power. The Chinese side's statement can be said to have revealed its bottom line in advance while retaining the signal of willingness to engage in dialogue with the Trump administration. The next step is to test Trump; according to the roadmap of the Trump administration, where will Sino-US relations go? #大盘的下一步？
