Secretary of State Leslie's visit to China is certainly a major event in 20211.

Since the outbreak of the US-Iraq war in 20177, China and the United States have never exchanged official visits at senior levels, and have only held informal contacts at international conferences such as resolving economic crises and trade disputes. As the two most economically powerful countries, Sino-US relations were "cold", which played a role in "fueling the rapid spread of the Great Depression".

In the eyes of the outside world, Leslie's "ice-breaking trip" is of extraordinary significance to the "reconciliation" between China and the United States.

On July 2, the US Secretary of State left Washington on a special plane and flew directly to Beijing.

The Western media have followed up on the US Secretary of State's visit to Beijing, quoting a US federal government official who did not want to be named, saying that Leslie's visit was mainly to discuss with China the settlement of five major issues, including the "trade dispute," the "Sino-US Strategic Economic Cooperation Agreement," the "Asia-Pacific situation," "nuclear disarmament," and the "globalization process," and strive to reach an agreement with China on relevant issues, paving the way for the US President's visit to China within the year.

"Neutral" media outlets such as Al Jazeera were not optimistic about Leslie's trip to Beijing.

Leslie is not Kissinger, and the Sino-US contradiction can be resolved by a secretary of state.

The fundamental contradiction between China and the United States is not economic and trade, nor nuclear disarmament and regional stability, but the United States has set up all kinds of obstacles and done everything possible to prevent China from becoming a world power.

To put it bluntly, as long as the United States refuses to recognize China's status as a "global power" and refuses to give up its action of "encircling" China, the Sino-US contradiction will not be resolved.

Not to mention Leslie, Frederick couldn't solve this problem.

Leslie's visit was very briefly reported by the domestic media. on the official media of the Republic. Only the "US Secretary of State" was mentioned. The last name of the Secretary of State is not mentioned.

The Leslie plane also flew over the Pacific Ocean. Zhao Rundong invited Pang Xinglong and Huang Guowei over.

"The itinerary has been decided." Pang Xinglong handed the document marked "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" to Zhao Rundong. said: "The foreign minister will go to the airport to greet Leslie. This was followed by a banquet for Leslie. The official meeting is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. First, we will discuss the issue of 'nuclear disarmament'. ”

Zhao Rundong quickly flipped through the documents. said: "It's well arranged. It's just that Leslie's visit is not for any of this. ”

Pang Xinglong sighed. "Everybody knows what Leslie's sudden visit is. ”

"The United States has played this trick hard enough." Zhao Rundong smiled. Said. "In addition to paving the way for Frederick's visit to China. Leslie visited two places. The first is to discuss with us the issue of restricting Japan's development of nuclear weapons. They will even offer to take joint action with us. Preemptively destroy Japan's earth-nuclear capabilities. If my judgment is not wrong. Leslie will be softer. It shows that the United States has the sincerity and determination to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue. ”

"There is no way that the United States will allow us to use force against Japan." Huang Guowei immediately said.

"That's the problem, Leslie is just showing the attitude, how the actual action is, let's not get any hope." Zhao Rundong smiled coldly and said, "Leslie's second purpose is to test our attitude and see if we are eager to solve the Japanese nuclear issue. If I'm not mistaken, as soon as Leslie figured out our intentions, Frederick came back to talk to us about the substance, and pushed us to the front of the road. ”

Pang Xinglong shook his head with a smile and said, "The White House just sent news that Frederick will visit Beijing next month. ”

"In that case, Leslie is determined to win."

"I think so too, and Leslie will definitely make us take a stand on the Japanese nuclear issue."

"Whether or not to take a stand is a secondary issue." Zhao Rundong shook his hand, "You must be careful when meeting with Leslie, you must not appear too eager or indifferent, and you must give the other party a feeling of imminent departure." Leslie's visit shows that the United States attaches great importance to the Japanese nuclear issue and is unable or unwilling to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue alone. ”

"Perhaps, we can ask for something extra."

Hearing Huang Guowei's words, Zhao Rundong cast an inquiring glance at the foreign minister.

"If you want us to make a move, Leslie won't come empty-handed." Huang Guowei hesitated slightly, "If we show indifference, we will leave the United States with the excuse to encourage Japan to develop nuclear weapons; If we are positive, it will make the United States feel that we are more anxious to solve the problem. We can take the opportunity to make some demands, such as lifting the arms embargo, removing trade barriers, and so on, and then see how the United States reacts. ”

"Doing so will make the United States feel that we are very positive."

"Not necessarily." Huang Guowei shook his hand and said, "Making a request does not mean that we have made a commitment. If Leslie refuses our demands, or delays for various reasons, we can blame the United States for not having the sincerity and determination to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue. ”

Pang Xinglong was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

"That's a way to do it." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead, "You can do this, be resolute." ”

If we do not make any commitments, nothing will come out of the talks

Long hesitated for a moment and said, "For us, if we can solve the Japanese nuclear issue, it will be an ideal outcome. ”

"The question is, is there any other way to solve the Japanese nuclear issue than war?"

Hearing Zhao Rundong's words, Pang Xinglong frowned slightly, and finally had to sigh.

"To this day, no sanctions can solve the Japanese nuclear issue, and the only way is to preemptively take military action." Zhao Rundong let out a sigh and said, "Frederick is a fool, and Leslie is not a fool. It was precisely because of this that Leslie suddenly visited. After the outbreak of war, will the United States join forces with us against Japan? Definitely not! Japan does not yet have the ability to attack the continental United States, but it has the ability to strike at our own land. Whatever the outcome, we will suffer huge losses with unimaginable consequences. When we defeat Japan and the United States appears as 'God' to save Japan from fire and water and become Japan's 'master,' we must face Japan's real threat and the all-round encirclement of the United States. Our enemy is not Japan, but the United States. In order to obstruct the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the United States has done everything it can. From India to the East China Sea to Iran and the South China Sea, the United States has done everything in its power to keep us at home.

Don't expect anything from the United States, as long as we are still advancing, the United States will use all kinds of means against us. ”

Zhao Rundong's emotions were a little excited, and his breathing sped up a lot.

Pang Xinglong didn't say anything more. Although Zhao Rundong's analysis is a bit extreme, what he says is true. If it weren't for the United States' blind obstruction of the rise of the republic, so many things would not have happened.

"In that case, we need to be well prepared diplomatically."

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "Leslie will be here in a few hours, you should hurry up and prepare." ”

Seeing off the prime minister and foreign minister, Zhao Rundong's mood calmed down a lot.

The development of the republic to this day has reached the most critical moment.

The Fourth Indo-Pakistani War in 2015, the East China Sea War in 20166, and the Indo-South Storm in 2019 were in fact consolidating the Republic's status as a "regional power." To this day, the Republic's status as a "major power in Asia and the Asia-Pacific region" has been recognized. Whether or not the Japanese nuclear issue can be successfully resolved will determine whether the Republic can become a "world power." Japan is also a regional power, and only a world power can defeat a regional power.

The next step will determine the future of the republic.

If it goes well, the global pattern of "US hegemony" has collapsed, and the Republic has become the second "world power" with an international status equal to that of the United States. If it does not go well, not only will the republic not be able to become a "world power," but whether it can maintain its status as a "regional power" is a question.

The task entrusted to the country's leaders by history is too heavy, and Zhao Rundong has to be cautious.

If Ji Youguo brought the Chinese nation on the road to rejuvenation, then Zhao Rundong will complete the mission that Ji Youguo failed to complete, expand the road of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and create a better future for the country and the nation.

began to "get angry" at Pang Xinglong, and Zhao Rundong was also a little "can't help it".

Just as Ji Youguo said, Pang Xinglong is impeccable in his economy, but he is very weak in handling major national affairs, and it is difficult for him to become a national leader. At the beginning, it was for this reason that Ji Youguo did not choose Pang Xinglong as his successor.

On the road to the rise of the country, it will inevitably encounter many difficulties.

The will of the country's leaders determines the will of the country and the future of the country to a great extent.

Fortunately, Zhao Rundong successfully completed the "role change".

At 8:15 a.m. on July 3, Beijing time, Leslie's special plane arrived at Capital International Airport.

Because the United States does not have a foreign minister, and the secretary of state is in charge of foreign affairs, asking Foreign Minister Huang Guowei to greet Leslie at the airport is not a loss of face for the US secretary of state.

At noon, Pang Xinglong hosted a banquet to entertain Leslie.

Although Leslie is not up to the standard of a state banquet, the premier's reception will not be bad.

Also present at the banquet were US envoys to China, representatives of US personnel in China, representatives of US economic and trade circles in China, relevant officials of the State Department, and representatives of non-governmental enterprises that have economic and trade ties with the United States.

After the banquet, Pang Xinglong accompanied Leslie to visit the development headquarters of Microsoft Corporation in Beijing.

In a meeting with the manager of Microsoft's China branch, Leslie encouraged U.S. companies to expand their investment in China and promote economic exchanges between China and the United States.

At 15:30, Leslie returned to the State Department with Pang Xinglong.

At the beginning of the first round of formal meetings, when discussing the issue of "nuclear disarmament," Pang Xinglong put forward the demand for "lifting the arms embargo on China."

Leslie was "caught off guard."

From this moment on, the first formal meeting between the top level of China and the United States is destined =: no substantive results will be achieved.

Damn it**
