Little room to maneuver as US-China ties slide further FMTNews FMTWorld
US-China relations have slid to what some say is the worst since the countries normalised ties in the 1970s.
“This is not a good moment for American diplomacy,” said William Kirby, a professor of Chinese studies at Harvard University. “The last time China and Russia were this close was 1957, when Mao Zedong declared in Moscow, ‘The East Wind will prevail over the West Wind.'” Blinken did meet with China’s top diplomat Wang Yi at the Munich Security Conference last month after the balloon incident, but this did not soothe tensions. A source familiar with that conversation called it the most antagonistic US-China engagement since contentious talks in Alaska early in the Biden administration.
“Name me a world leader who’d change places with Xi Jinping. Name me one,” Biden said in his speech, evidently referring to a host of domestic and foreign policy challenges facing China.A US state department spokesman did not address the Munich meeting or China’s reaction to Biden’s comments but said that the US will continue to keep “open and constructive lines of communication” with China.
A senior US administration official said on Monday Washington was urging China to keep communication channels open despite Tsai Ing-wen’s planned stopovers, which are sensitive given that China claims self-governed Taiwan as its own.
