4HrZ393HG9a opinion.huanqiu.com article He Lei: China and the United States should effectively strengthen the control of differences /e3pmub6h5/e3pr9baf6 <article><section data type="rtext"><p>This year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. In today's era of deepening globalization, China and the United States have formed a situation in which we share extensive and important common interests. However, due to differences in history, culture, social system, economic level, development path and national strategy, China and the United States have differences and disputes in many aspects. Without effective control, military conflicts and even wars may occur</ p> <p><em data scene="strong">First, we need to establish a correct strategic awareness Seeking common ground in major aspects and allowing differences in other aspects; Not "table menu theory". The so-called "table menu theory" is a typical cold war thinking, jungle law and wrong strategic cognition. According to this logic, in the international system, big countries, rich countries and powerful countries are the diners sitting at the table, while small countries, poor countries and weak countries can only be the food on the menu, which can be eaten at will. China has always maintained that all sovereign countries in the world, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal and should be respected equally. One country's affairs are decided by its own people, while regional and global affairs are decided by all countries through consultation</ p> <p>"Great Harmony" is the common interests of China and the United States, mainly referring to global public goods, such as drug control, artificial intelligence, coping with climate change and epidemic situation; Common challenges, such as anti-terrorism, cyber security, military cooperation, etc; It is our common responsibility to safeguard our fundamental interests and maintain world peace and stability. China has always hoped that China and the United States will become partners and be committed to building a stable, healthy and sustainable China US relationship. At the same time, China has interests that must be safeguarded, principles that must be defended, and the bottom line that must be adhered to. This is inviolable, inviolable, and trampled upon</ p> <adv-loader __attr__inner="7004636" __attr__style="width: auto; position: relative;float: left;border: 1px solid #ebebeb; padding: 20px;overflow: hidden;margin: 10px 30px 40px 0; "></adv-loader> <p>"Minor differences" are differences, which may be big or small, heavy or light, principled or unprincipled. Large, serious and principled differences cannot be compromised. The "Great Harmony" needs to be maintained, nurtured and expanded together by China and the United States, and the "minor differences" need to be jointly controlled by China and the United States, and even work together to transform them into "Great Harmony", and manage the "minor differences" (differences) in maintaining the "Great Harmony"</ p> <p><em data scene="strong">The second is to truly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state.</em>The Chinese government and the Chinese people attach great importance to and cherish Sino US relations. Sino US relations are the most important bilateral relations in the world. How the two countries get along will determine the future of mankind and the future of the planet. There are a thousand reasons for China and the United States to improve their relations, but not one reason to break them. Since Biden became President of the United States more than three years ago, the heads of state of China and the United States have made many calls, video meetings or meetings and reached many consensus on some major strategic issues. For example, in terms of China US relations, President Xi Jinping repeatedly stressed that China and the US should respect each other, coexist peacefully and cooperate for win-win results; President Biden has repeatedly promised "four no no intentions": not to seek a "new cold war", not to seek to change China's system, not to seek to oppose China by strengthening alliance, not to support "Taiwan independence", and not to have any conflict with China. This should be the fundamental principle and basic principle that the two militaries of China and the United States must adhere to in order to effectively manage differences and enhance military security</ p> <p><em data scene="strong">The third is to be sincere, honest and reliable. Since the 1970s, China and the United States have reached consensus and made commitments on many major issues, especially the signing of the three Sino US joint communiques. In recent years, the two heads of state have met and reached many important consensus. In this case, it is necessary to take action and put it into effect. "Do what you say, do not empty your guns", instead of being duplicitous, treacherous, saying and doing what you say, let alone forming cliques, suppressing confrontation and losing credibility. We should make peace the most important, stability the most important, and faith-based. We should fulfill our respective commitments with practical actions, turn the "San Francisco Vision" into a "reality", and do more useful things for the stability, improvement, and progress of China US relations, and for world peace and stability</ p> <p><em data scene="strong">Fourth, we should especially strengthen risk management and control in core interests and major areas.</em>China and the United States should work together to effectively manage and control differences. We should not let differences become a gap between the two countries, but find ways to build a bridge to meet each other. The two sides should understand each other's bottom line of principles, do not bother, do not challenge, do not cross the border, communicate more, talk more, discuss more, and calmly handle differences and accidents. Managing differences is multifaceted. The most important thing is to effectively manage and control risks involving China's core interests, such as Taiwan, the South China Sea, the East China Sea and other issues; Strictly control the risks in the development of nuclear forces and the application of artificial intelligence in the military field. The former is the bottom line that China cannot trample and the red line that cannot be crossed, and the latter is related to the life and death of mankind and the survival of the earth. The two are the top priorities of risk management and control of the two militaries of China and the United States</ p> <p><em data scene="strong">The fifth is to improve effective differences management and control mechanisms.</em>In recent years, the two militaries of China and the United States have established some military risk management and control mechanisms, such as the working meeting of the Ministry of Defense of the United States and the working group meeting of the maritime military security consultation mechanism, which has played a certain role in managing differences and risks and preventing armed conflict. However, differences still exist, risks occur from time to time, and conflicts are difficult to avoid. The important reason is that the important consensus reached by the two heads of state has not been effectively implemented. Therefore, the important consensus reached by the two heads of state must be effectively implemented. At the same time, specific rules for effective management and control of differences and risks should also be formulated through consultation in some important areas (such as the use of weapons of mass destruction, the application of artificial intelligence in military affairs, etc.), so as to restrict the possibility of widening differences and triggering conflicts</ p> <p>"China US relations cannot go back to the past, but can have a better future." This depends on the sincere joint efforts of the two sides, and we are full of confidence and expectation.
