Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: The country will be happy about the forthcoming visit of the US Secretary of State to Beijing

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that the country would be happy about the forthcoming visit of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to Beijing. Here is what the diplomat had to say about it:

China welcomes US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's visit to Beijing with high hopes. At present, negotiations are underway between our countries [China and the United States] on a list of specific issues

At the same time, Wenbin expressed hope that the United States will continue to be open to bilateral dialogue, as the parties are interested not only in maintaining, but also in developing cooperation based on mutual benefit.

Note that this is Blinken's first visit as Secretary of State since October 2018, when his predecessor Mike Pompeo, under the administration of then US President Donald Trump, met with his former colleague Wang Yi, who at that time held the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs of the PRC.

According to data provided by the US State Department, a delegation of US dignitaries held talks with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng last December to discuss the details of the meeting of the head of US diplomacy.

Recall that Anthony Blinken will pay a two-day working visit to Beijing from February 5 to 6. The diplomat will meet with his Chinese counterpart Qin Gang. Among other topics on the agenda, the parties will touch upon the topic of the Ukrainian conflict. Earlier this month, Blinken also had a telephone conversation with newly elected Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang.

The hereditary pancake thief, as a diplomat, is like an elephant in a china shop. Be sure to be rude and not even understand. From his visits, relations in China with the United States only get worse.

Rather, no way. But the fact that he is going to ask not to interfere in the showdown with Russia and pull with Taiwan, that's for sure ... it will be interesting to know what the States will offer.

And when Yugoslavia was bombed, the topic of this conflict was raised between China and the United States?

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: The country will be happy about the forthcoming visit of the US Secretary of State to Beijing

What does Mr. Wang Wenbin say for the whole country? Maybe there are those who are not happy. Moreover, he is not the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the PRC.
If the translation is correct, then he could have uttered another diplomatic formulation.

Gennady, you are right to doubt the translation. It originally sounded like this:

"We welcome Blinken's visit to China. We hope that the American side will promote dialogue rather than promote confrontation,” Wang added.

In Russian, it sounds like this: "... hello, come in, since you have come ..."

Well, yes - "Help yourself, dear guests, and everything is so expensive in the store."

There is no doubt that Taiwan and Ukraine will be on the agenda of discussions, but there is another topic that greatly strains the mattresses, this is the fact that China is actively getting rid of American treasuries and its investments in public debt have decreased from 1,3 trillion to 900 billion in just six months. dollars + there is a process of abandoning the dollar in international settlements with the transition to trade in national currencies, which raises the yuan and undermines the dominance of the dollar. This "hat" for mattresses is definitely more important than Ukraine. How does it look like

Will the fate of the NWO be decided in Beijing?

[Plate]

Yes, right in Beijing. If in Beijing, then not in it alone. You see, it is impossible to single out a single center where the outcome of the SVO is decided.

[Murmur 55]

Yes, Pelosi in Taiwan is bad, Blinken in China is good, I wonder what they will agree on? What will the Americans offer the Chinese to leak Russia.

? What will the Americans offer the Chinese to leak Russia.

Well, Taiwan for example. What do you think they are more interested in? Moreover, there is nothing special to merge ... China takes a neutral position and Russia is by no means an ally.

[sgrabik]

The Chinese essence is multi-vector and duplicitous, you should not count on China as an unconditional ally, it is always on its own mind and acts solely in its own interests, however, we need to learn from China the art of diplomacy and defending our own national interests.

[Andrei Rimsky]

What is there to study? How to put your country under the occupation of other countries for centuries?
The Yankees pressed the Chinese a little, blocked the technology, and they have already forgotten their shame with Pelosi and are happy to meet their own enemy at home, who publicly humiliates them.
This is because in China there is a huge and influential pro-American bureaucratic and business stratum, an analogue of our "liberals". They do not care about China, about sovereignty, they are brought up on globalist ideas, capital and children are also in the West. So Xi is fighting with them, but so far he is maneuvering.

[Rusticolus]

There is a suspicion that this visit will take place in the same vein.
Do you want to come? So be it, come. We will smile at you, and when you leave, we will continue to do what we were doing.

China has only its own interests in the foreground, and therefore it will trade and trade with the United States to the end. Russia is a raw shop for them. This is what Putin brought the country to. Maybe someone will say how much gas, oil, electricity are for China? They promised not to take out the forest, and? How about Baikal? And what territory of Russia do they consider theirs? How many allies did the USSR have, including the military, ready to fight together? How much does Putin have with the best Foreign Minister Lavrov, with relatives abroad? One with reservations.

[77alex77]

Well, that's all, Karachun, they will merge us and don't go to the fortuneteller, the Indians have already leaked

[Eva Star]

Some of the comments are funny. Blinken's visit to China is primarily a conversation about trade. Blinken is on his way to meet the ambassador, and Medvedev recently flew to Xi. China and Russia are now connected in geopolitics, one will fall, which means that the second will fall after. Russia and China are strategic partners, joint military exercises show this.

[Mouse]

Somehow they are flirting with the states ...

[aleksr2005]

They will force China to block our access to electronics, not to buy oil from us, etc. This year they want to crush us from all sides. Maximum UGIL weapons, maximum blockade for us.

[Ivan Ivanov]

Hmm .. and Wang Yi, meanwhile, was dismissed. It is sad to look at all these wagging as the fifth point. If the Chinese don’t understand that the States don’t need a strong independent China (or they expect to screw it up), what can be demanded from our elites.

[bath]

If you come to us, of course, we must use the word "welcome" to describe it - otherwise you fall into the logic that if you are not welcome, why are you allowing him to come?

Similarly, when Russia calls for talks with Ukraine, the correct wording should be "welcome" to talks.

I guess the difference between ordinary deep language and the table of contents of an article are two big differences. Which has nothing in common. Carefully) should be presented to the general review.

Putin brought? What nonsense! Only a person too green could say this, not being aware of the state of Russia in 2000. Or one of those who traded their country for jeans with gum in the early 90s. And if not one or the other, it's so simple - a fool ... or an enemy!
