Antony Blinken, Le Secrétaire d’Etat Américain, arrives on June 18 in Beijing. In soi, this visit constitutes an event. In November 2022, Presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping, who meet on the sidelines of the G20 organized in Bali (Indonesia), announced that they will communicate an advantage to prevent the relationship between the two countries from continuing to deteriorate. Néanmoins, la découverte, fin janvier, au-dessus des Etats-Unis, d’un ballon espion chinois et sa destroy avaient provoqué, au dernier moment, the annulation of the visit que M. Blinken devait effectuer à Pékin début février.

In March, Antony Blinken met State Councilor Wang Yi in Munich on the sidelines of the security conference. The last one is ensuite entretenu à Vienne avec le conseiller à la securité nationale, Jake Sullivan. Fin mai, la secretaire américaine au commerce, Gina Raimondo, a accueilli à Washington son di lei homologue chinois, Wang Wentao, mais ces contactos ont eu peu d’écho et n’ont manifestement pas permis de réelles avancées.

the tension grows

A sign of tensions between the two countries: the new Chinese defense minister, Li Shangfu, explicitly refused to meet his American counterpart, Lloyd Austin, on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue, a major international conference on security est teno à Singapore début juin. During this conference, a Chinese naval vessel also opened the course for a US destroyer in the international waters of Taiwan’s détroit, accentuating the encore between Beijing and Washington.

Even if Xi Jinping will receive Bill Gates in Beijing on June 16, ignore Antony Blinken’s reception. “You are the first American I meet in Beijing this year”, aurait declared the président chinois au fondateur de Microsoft, d’après la presse officielle chinoise. «Nous avons toujours placé nos espoirs dans le peuple américain et espéré que l’amitié poursuive entre les peuples des deux pays», Xi Jinping precise aurait. In general, the Chinois pressed south « friendship between peoples » to delineate gouvernements with lesquels ils ont des important chords.

On June 15, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will announce a donation of 50 million dollars (45 million euros) to Chinese institutions – not the Tsinghua University in Peking, where Xi Jinping graduated – for les soutenir dans leurs investigations against the tuberculosis and malaria. Although I have not met the number of Chinese, the other great American patrons have returned with great fanfare to China in recent weeks: Elon Musk (Tesla, Twitter…), Tim Cook (Apple), James Dimon (JPMorgan Chase), Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm). One way for the Chinese authorities to indicate that foreign investment is welcome in China, but also encourages a currency among American business circles, favorable to cooperation with Beijing, et le monde politique, beaucoup plus réservé. Pour la presse chinoise, il ya les « bons » Américains, les hommes d’affaires hostiles au découplage des économies, et les « mauvais », à la solde du «military-industrial complex».
