The following is from this week's issue of the column serialized in weekly Shincho by Ms. Yoshiko Sakurai, which I mention that she deserves the national honor award many times.
US-China conflict, China's unavoidable weakness
On November 9, US, China, diplomacy and security dialogue was brought in Washington.
From the US side Secretary of Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mattis, Yang Jiechi Communist Party-Political Bureau from the Chinese side, Defense Minister Wei Fenghe participated.
The Council of Ministers, last year, when Xi Jinping president visited the United States, something that was installed in agreement with Trump president.
The first one was held last June, and this time is the second time.
Mr. Pompeo said, ‘The United States does not want the new cold war with China and is not planning to shut it down,’ Yang said, ‘China will continue to stay on the path of reform and peaceful development’, this dialogue in order not to compromise each other's relationships, they will explore opponents' intentions and reveal that they have been cured accordingly.
However, if we investigate the content, the current severity of US-China relations is clear.
Obvious confrontation points are the South China Sea, Taiwan, human rights, North Korea issues.
In the South China Sea issue, the US showed strong concern over China's military base of the islands.
In the explanation for the media, the State Department reveals important matters as follows.
"The US requested China to remove the missile system deployed on the artificial island of the Spratly Islands and confirmed that all countries should not adopt the method of compulsion or intimidation to solve problems"
It is probably the first time that it specifically requested to remove missile equipment like this since the landfill of Spratly Islands, which China took away from the Philippines and others, has made a military base.
It is good to see that the Trump regime stepped in one step and demanded.
Besides, the United States clearly states that it will continue navigating and flying in the South China Sea based on international law as usual.
On the contrary, Yang said that shamelessly argued that most of the facilities deployed in the South China Sea were for the private sector, arguing that the US should stop sending warships with the ‘freedom of navigation’, there.
This draft continues.
