the results of the china-us talks are out. the chinese side made special arrangements on the spot. sullivan promised in person that the united states does not support "taiwan independence". what special arrangements and statements did the chinese side make on the first day of the china-us talks? what promises did sullivan make? what consensus did the two sides reach?

from august 27 to 28, foreign minister wang yi held a long meeting with us national security advisor sullivan. in yesterday's video program, we talked about how both china and the united states have different expectations for this strategic communication, and china has also shown a positive attitude. before the talks, foreign minister wang yi also mentioned that he hoped that the exchanges between the two sides would not only be strategic, but also substantive and constructive, so as to truly achieve stable, healthy and sustainable development of china-us relations.

china's intentions can also be seen from the choice of the meeting place and the details of the venue layout.

first of all, the meeting place was chosen as yanqi lake. the significance of this place is extraordinary. from the 22nd apec economic leaders' meeting in 2014 to the first and second belt and road forum for international cooperation, they have all been held here. it is a landmark place for china to carry out international cooperation. this also shows that china hopes to improve relations and promote cooperation with the united states through the meeting.

secondly, at the meeting site, a white calla lily was placed in the center of the conference table. the appearance of this flower is very similar to a traditional sailboat, so in folk culture, the white calla lily also has the beautiful meaning of "smooth sailing". this also sends a signal that china hopes that this strategic communication will be successful.

according to reports on the meeting released by official media, this strategic communication between china and the united states achieved quite a few results.

for example, both sides agreed to further implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state and promote the stable, healthy and sustainable development of china-us relations. at the same time, they also agreed to promote existing cooperation, continue to maintain high-level exchanges and communication at all levels, and avoid conflicts and confrontations.

on the taiwan strait issue, sullivan also made a clear commitment. he said that the united states adheres to the one-china policy and does not support "taiwan independence", "two chinas" or "one china, one taiwan".

at the same time, sullivan also emphasized that the united states and china will coexist peacefully on this planet for a long time, and the us policy goal is to find ways to make u.s.-china relations sustainable.

however, although sullivan's statement was relatively positive, there is still a certain gap between it and china's expectations.

on the taiwan strait issue, china's wording has actually changed. foreign minister wang yi also mentioned in the talks that taiwan belongs to china, china will surely reunify, and "taiwan independence" is the biggest risk to peace and stability in the taiwan strait.

therefore, we not only hope that the us will implement its commitment not to support "taiwan independence", but also demand that it stop arming taiwan and support china's peaceful reunification.

in other words, the united states must not only verbally promise not to support "taiwan independence", but also stop selling weapons to taiwan and support china's reunification. only in this way can true peace be achieved in the taiwan strait and sino-us relations can be stable and long-term.

of course, the outside world generally believes that the main purpose of sullivan’s visit is to stabilize sino-us relations at the current stage. the subsequent development of sino-us relations will depend on whether the chinese and us heads of state can meet again and whether the next us government can continue its stable policy toward china.
