As the first US Secretary of State to visit China in five years, Anthony? Brinken ended his visit to China on June 19. In the current complex situation of China US relations, what signals has this Biden administration's highest ranking official's visit to China released and what changes will it bring to the development of bilateral relations? James Heimowitz, president and president of China Institute, made an interpretation in an interview. He Zhiming is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations of the United States and the National Committee on United States–China Relations. He has served as a director of many media and technology companies related to China, and has been invited to preside over or participate in large-scale international conferences and forums for many times. He Zhiming noticed that at the beginning of 2023, China US relations encountered new difficulties and challenges. He stated that the mature solution to the problem should be open exchange and communication. "I hope Secretary Antony Blinken's visit to China this time will send a clear signal that the United States and China are going to have new contacts. It is a good thing that the two sides can communicate on areas where they have differences." Referring to the recent academic discussion on the development trend of China US relations, He Zhiming believes that everyone was talking about "decoupling" at the beginning, and then the topic became "Deglobalization"; Some experts believe that countries around the world need to return to the stage of "individual development". However, as a supporter of Globalism, He Zhiming believes that if all countries can work together for development, the world will become a better place. This is especially true for the two world powers, the United States and China. Facing opportunities and challenges head-on and properly handling bilateral relations will be of great benefit to both countries themselves and the entire world. "In the face of different cultures, some people are very nationalistic, but this excessive nationalism will hinder communication with other countries and cultures. To get the U.S. - China relationship back on track, we must strengthen ideological exchanges and personnel exchanges." The China Institute, co founded by outstanding Chinese and American educators in 1926, is the oldest non-profit organization in the United States that focuses on Chinese culture. He Zhiming himself has also been committed to building a bridge for cultural communication between China and the West. In his view, the foundation of cross-cultural communication is cultural exchange. Misunderstanding often comes from ignorance. Only by having a better understanding and understanding of each other's cultures can people's hearts and minds be better connected (Xinhua News Agency)
