Strategic intimacy: US seeks face-to-face rivalry with China
Story by Laura Kelly • 22h • 6 min read
“We believe that intense competition requires intense diplomacy on a range of issues, and in-depth, face-to-face diplomacy is particularly important to managing tensions,” a senior administration official told reporters in a call Friday, previewing Blinken’s trip.
Xi is in a difficult position at home, with an economy still struggling to recover from COVID-19 lockdowns and worsened by the U.S. and other allies diversifying supply chains away from Chinese manufacturing.
美国人认为communication skills 是重要的技能。不光朋友间需要交流,敌人间更需要交流 to avoid misunderstanding and miscalculation。中国人小农意识,以为只要去中国访问的就是有求于中国。但是美国官员每次去北京都是严辞要求,对中国的制裁丝毫没有受到访问的影响。中国人十分不解。他们需要脱离小农思想,学会现代人的打交道方式。

We all know China is now a mad dog. Yet it is the previous U.S. administrations that is responsible for spoiling China. China is biting its neighbors and barking at anyone for no apparent reasons. Trump and Biden are skilled dog trainers. Thru training and setting boundary for China, they have made China understand the consequences it would have to bear for misbehaviors. Is China a good dog now? Of course not. Has it improved? Yes. Secretary Blinken’s upcoming visit to Beijing will further correct China’s bad behavior. A few years ago, it’s hard to imagine China would accept such visit. Now it does. We have to give China credit for progress.
不知道有人看过Dog whisperer with Cesar Milan 电视节目没有?节目里那些没有家教的狗搞得主人没办法,主人只好去请专家来调教。Cesar一来,那些狗呲牙咧嘴,攻击性很强。Cesar训狗的办法就是给狗立规矩 show them who is the boss。几番回合下来,那些曾经蛮横乱咬的狗都是服服帖帖。狗的主人满心欢喜,感谢Cesar训狗有功。在今天,疯狗就是中国,Cesar就是美国。
