At the meeting between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese President Xi Jinping this Monday (19), the Americans asked for the resumption of military dialogue between the two countries. However, China answered no, due to the sanctions imposed in relation to the chips. The analysis is by Lourival Sant’Anna da CNN .
The chip issue shows that the US is willing to do whatever it can to contain Chinese competition in the technology field. And therefore in the military and economic field.
In the bilateral relationship, three points are unavoidable. First is the US drive to contain China’s challenge to US hegemony, even though there is a clear path to a multipolar world.
Then there are Taiwan and Ukraine.
The merit of the meeting is simply the beginning of stability for the relationship, postponing the conflict for a few more years.
However, due to the lack of dialogue between the generals of the two countries, it was not possible to indicate an environment in which an involuntary conflict could be avoided.
In February, during the incident with a Chinese balloon over US territory, which led to the postponement of Blinken’s trip, the US military called the Chinese, who did not answer.
It’s better than nothing to have diplomatic talks, but they don’t avoid tension in the military field, which is the big problem.
That is, the intention of the two countries is: if it is to make a war, let it not be because of a misunderstanding.
Xi Jiping in his third term, which ends in early 2028, wants to resolve the Taiwan issue by force, and the two countries are preparing for this.
