When will China-US relations stabilize? Maybe after 10 years, Major General  People's Liberation Army

 

How will Sino-US relations coexist in the future? Rear Admiral Yang Yi of the People’s Liberation Army said on the 17th that the United States will set China as "the only and most important strategic competitor" in the medium and long term and will not change. Now the overall strength of the United States is stronger than that of China. , so the red line of the Chinese side has been repeatedly touched, but as time goes by, when the balance of power between the two countries tends to be balanced, it may be a time when the relationship is relatively stable. "I think ten years is about the same."

 

The CCP media "Global Times" held an annual meeting on the 17th. During the discussion on "Sino-US Coexistence: How Long Will the New Model Need to Work?", Yang Yi made the above remarks.

 

Yang Yi said that China and the United States are "different in mind and disagreement", that is, China advocates building a "community with a shared future for mankind", while the United States is trying to maintain and strengthen its global hegemony. China advocates no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect, and cooperation win, while the United States insists on competing with China based on its strength and status.

 

Therefore, Yang Yi believes that in the short term, including the medium and long term, the US's strategic positioning of China, that is, the conclusion that China is the US's "single and most important strategic competitor" will not change. Competition between China and the United States is inevitable, and it does not depend on people's will.

 

Yang Yi said that the key now is how to compete. China advocates a new type of major-country relationship and win-win cooperation. The United States believes in the "law of the jungle". On the issue of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, China is also unwilling to have a major conflict, especially a nuclear conflict.

 

Regarding how to install protective fences and safety valves between China and the United States, he said that the ideas of China and the United States are opposed to each other. Therefore, according to the usual international relations theory, a relationship in a state of competition must maintain stability unless it is based on common threats and common interests. In addition to interests, what is more, important is the overall balance of power between the two parties.

 

Yang Yi said that the United States is generally stronger than China in terms of power and has advantages, so it has repeatedly touched China's red line towards a relatively stable time. "It won't be too long. The United States said it was ten years, but I think ten years is about the same."

 

As for the impact of the Russia-Uzbekistan conflict on Sino-US relations, Jin Canrong, a professor at the School of International Relations at the Renmin University of China, said in the same discussion that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will have an impact on Sino-US relations. As for the extent of the impact, it is still difficult to judge, because This conflict is still "in progress" and not yet completed.

 

However, Jin Canrong mentioned that the United States today is not in its "mature age". Now facing the control of the United States, Russia is violently resisting, so the United States must suppress it now, but because Russia has nuclear weapons, the United States cannot end it in person, so relying on two Means: economic sanctions and proxy wars.

 

Under such circumstances, Jin Canrong said that these two methods may be useless. He believes that it takes another two years to observe whether the US system is affected. The impact will be great, and it will also have a great impact on Sino-US relations.
