On June 19, Wang Yi, member of the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee, met with US Secretary of State Lincoln in Beijing. Wang Yi said that the Secretary of State's visit to Beijing comes at a critical juncture in Sino-US relations, and there is a need to make a choice between dialogue or confrontation, cooperation or conflict. History must move forward, and Sino-US relations must move forward after all. There is no way out to reverse history, and it is even less advisable to start all over again. With an attitude of being responsible to the people, to history, and to the world, we should reverse the downward spiral of Sino-US relations, promote a return to the track of health and stability, and jointly find the correct way for China and the United States to get along in the new era. Wang Yi stressed that the root cause of the trough in Sino-US relations is that the US side holds a wrong understanding of China, which leads to a wrong policy toward China. Sino-US relations have experienced twists and turns, and it is necessary for the US side to reflect deeply and work with China to manage differences and avoid strategic accidents. In order to stop the decline and stabilize Sino-US relations, the top priority is to truly implement the consensus between the heads of state of the two countries. For Sino-US relations to be stable, the most important thing is to follow the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation put forward by President Xi Jinping. Wang Yi deeply explained the historical logic and inevitable trend of China's development and rejuvenation, introduced the distinct characteristics of Chinese-style modernization and the rich connotation of people's democracy in the whole process, and urged the United States not to mirror China with the template that a country must be strong and hegemonic, and not to misjudge China with the track taken by the traditional Western powers. This is the key to whether the US policy toward China can really return to objective rationality. Wang Yi demanded that the US side stop hyping the "China threat theory", lift illegal unilateral sanctions against China, give up its crackdown on China's scientific and technological development, and refrain from wanton interference in China's internal affairs. Wang Yi emphatically analyzed the essence of the Taiwan issue and stressed that safeguarding national reunification is always the core of China's core interests, the fate of all the sons and daughters of China, and Communist Party of China's unswerving historical mission. China has no room for compromise on this issue. The US side must truly adhere to the one-China principle set out in the three Sino-US joint communiques, respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and explicitly oppose "Taiwan independence." Brynn introduced the views of the US side, saying that the US side is committed to returning to the agenda set by the Bali meeting between the heads of state of the two countries, and looks forward to strengthening communication with China, responsibly managing differences, and carrying out cooperation in areas where the two sides share common interests. The two sides also exchanged views on international and regional issues of common concern.
