沙利文访华:美国对华政策仍是拜登政府的优先方向

美国国家安全顾问沙利文访问中国,这是他首次访华,也是自2016年以来首位访华的美国国家安全顾问。沙利文此行被视为是替最后一场“拜习会”铺路,把美国总统最重要、也最令人担忧的外交政策关系问题处理好。虽然拜登政府卸任在即,但中国以及习近平仍然是拜登政府其中一个优先的方向。双方都承认中美关系仍处在止跌企稳的关键关口,两国外交官承认,华盛顿与北京之间的谈判从来都不容易,而且有很多问题需要讨论。沙利文此次访问旨在延续拜登政府的工作,而非为下一任总统定调。中国希望美国各党派都在聆听,并就“台湾问题”等事宜表达严重关切、阐明严正立场、提出严肃要求。此次访问也显示了美国希望“负责任地管理”与北京的竞争关系,在与中国的竞争中,通过低调而非炫耀的方式来展示美国的力量。

Summary: U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan traveled to China, making it his first trip to the country and the first by a U.S. national security advisor since 2016. Sullivan’s visit is seen as paving the way for a final “Biden-Xi meeting,” addressing the most important and worrying issue in U.S. foreign policy relations. Although the Biden administration is nearing the end of its term, China and Xi Jinping remain one of the administration’s priorities. Both sides acknowledge that U.S.-China relations are still at a critical juncture of stabilizing after a decline, and diplomats from both countries admit that negotiations between Washington and Beijing are never easy and there are many issues to discuss. Sullivan’s visit aims to continue the work of the Biden administration, not to set the tone for the next president. China hopes that all parties in the United States are listening, and expressed serious concerns, clarified a firm stance, and made serious demands on issues such as the “Taiwan issue.” The visit also shows that the United States hopes to “manage responsibly” its competitive relationship with Beijing, showcasing U.S. power through low-key rather than ostentatious means in competition with China.
