New equations between superpowers:America and China to sit at negotiating table in Alaska; 5 disputes overshadowed the beginning of good relations
The US and China will be on the negotiating table on March 18 amid a rift in relations. The meeting will be held in Anchorage, Alaska. In this, Foreign Minister Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jack Sullivan will talk to their Chinese counterpart on behalf of America. This is Biden Administration's first interaction with China.
During the tenure of former US President Donald Trump, relations between the two countries had deteriorated significantly. In such a situation, this meeting can prove to be important in bringing the relationship back on track. However, before the meeting, the US has indicated a tough stance. It has said that it will ask China to clear the situation on issues such as atrocities on the Uigars, Taiwan, Tibet, China's interference in Hong Kong and the South China Sea.
A senior US official says that one should not expect too much from this meeting. There will be more emphasis on discussing priorities and differences rather than making any compromises. We think parts of the conversation can be difficult. At the same time, White House Press Secretary Jane Saki said on Tuesday that there are some issues on which President Joe Biden cannot hold back from voicing. These include issues related to human rights, economy and technology.
5 Disputes that do not allow America and China to become friends ...
1. Suppression of democracy in Hong
Kong China is continuously increasing its interference in Hong Kong. Those who support democracy in Hong Kong oppose it. The US openly supports supporters of democracy. It has also had an impact on his relations with China. This issue can also be discussed in the meeting between the two countries. Prior to the meeting, the US has banned 24 officers from Hong Kong and China. According to CNN, these restrictions were brought under the Hong Kong Autonomy Act.
The act was passed by the US in response to China's new National Security Law last year. China legally prohibited interference with foreigners. Those who have been banned include Wang Chen's name. Wang is part of China's 25-member Politburo. It is the largest law-making body in China. In this committee, Tam Yiu-chung is the only representative of Hong Kong. TAM drafted the National Security Law.
On this move of the US, China International Radio says that this is a serious violation of the basic norms of international law and relations. Chinese media has described it as a serious interference in China's internal affairs.
2. China's atrocities on Uygar Muslims
Human rights organizations say that China is suppressing the voices of Uygar Muslims. They are being imprisoned for no reason. US President Joe Biden is known to be in favor of human rights. The bill has also been passed on this issue in the US Parliament. In such a situation, this issue may arise in a meeting with China.
According to the American Monitoring Group, the number of Uygar Muslims who have been victims of Chinese tyranny in Xinjiang is more than one million. China on the other hand denies these allegations. China occupied eastern Turkestan in 1949. Uygar Muslims are believed to be of Turkic origin. Uigar Muslims constitute 45 percent of the total population in Xinjiang. 40% of the population are Han Chinese.
China has declared Xinjiang as an autonomous region like Tibet. Last year itself, the US blacklisted 28 Chinese institutions allegedly involved in atrocities on Uygar Muslims. These institutions were put on the watch list. By doing this, any deal with these companies without the approval of the government is prohibited.
3. Lack of confidence in
China regarding Corona The biggest issue of the meeting between the US and China could be the Corona epidemic. Corona has affected America the most. The US still does not rely on data related to China's virus. Donald Trump has blamed China for this, calling it Corona's Chinese flu.
Recently, a team from the World Health Organization visited Wuhan, China. It is believed that the corona virus has spread all over the world from here. The team is yet to make the report public. The way China has overcome the corona and the rest of the countries are still struggling with it, it is viewed with suspicion.
This is the reason that America is taking India along with China instead of China in the fight against Corona. In the recently held Group 'Quad' meeting of 4 countries, the United States and India have agreed to form a vaccine. Under this, companies of both countries will produce 100 crore doses of vaccine by the end of this year.
4. China's Dadagiri in
South China Sea China's Dadagiri in South China Sea was never liked by the US. Both countries have threatened each other many times on this issue. The armies of both the countries exercise in this area. Because of this, a situation of confrontation is created in them. Last year, the US had also sent 2 aircraft carriers in the South China Sea amid China's military exercises. China makes its claim on the region.
The United States opposes this and calls for provoking China's military exercise in the disputed region. At the same time, China says that America has nothing to do with South China Sea. He should stay away from this matter. The Donald Trump Administration even went so far as to say that the South China Sea is the right of the whole world. On this issue, we will not only protect American interests but also international interests. The US also promised to help the Philippines build a military base in South China Sea.
5. Fear of China's occupation of
Taiwan follows US strategy of keeping China under control by assisting Taiwan in South Asia. Taiwan was separated from China in 1949 to become a new country. China exerts control over it.
The US is with Taiwan in this fight. He has promised her every possible help, including weapons. Under Donald Trump's tenure, US Under Secretary Keith Krech arrived in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. China was annoyed by this.
This was the first time since 1979 that the US Secretary-level officer had reached Taiwan. Until then, Taiwan and the US had diplomatic relations, but the official of this level did not send the US to Taiwan. In the South China Sea, China continues to threaten many smaller countries, including Taiwan.
The President of Taiwan, Sai Ing-wen, is considered to be the strongest opponent of China. Sai has been elected President of Taiwan for the second time. He refused to accept the One China policy in his first term. After this, China had severed all ties with Taiwan. China has always considered Taiwan as its share.
