TIANJIN, July 26 2021 (Xinhua) — China puts forward two lists during talks with visiting U.S. deputy secretary of state
China has put forward two lists to the United States during the talks in Tianjin, one of which is the List of U.S. Wrongdoings that Must Stop and the other is the List of Key Individual Cases that China Has Concerns with, Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng said here Monday.
Xie made the remarks at a press briefing after talks with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who is on a visit to north China’s port city of Tianjin from July 25 to 26.
In the List of U.S. Wrongdoings that Must Stop, China urged the United States to unconditionally revoke the visa restrictions over Communist Party of China (CPC) members and their families, revoke sanctions on Chinese leaders, officials and government agencies, and remove visa restrictions on Chinese students.
China also urged the United States to stop suppressing Chinese enterprises, stop harassing Chinese students, stop suppressing the Confucius Institutes, revoke the registration of Chinese media outlets as “foreign agents” or “foreign missions”, and revoke the extradition request for Meng Wanzhou.
In another list, China expressed serious concerns to the United States on some key individual cases, including some Chinese students’ visa applications being rejected, Chinese citizens receiving unfair treatment in the United States, Chinese diplomatic and consular missions being harassed and rammed into by perpetrators in the United States, growing anti-Asian and anti-China sentiment, and Chinese citizens suffering violent attacks.
China urged the United States to address those cases as soon as possible and earnestly respect and protect the legitimate interests of Chinese citizens and institutions in the United States.
天津会谈中國向美方提出两份清单、三条底线,专家:中方占据了主场,更占据了主导. 中国外交部副部长谢锋在今 (26) 日于天津同美国常务副国务卿雪蔓会谈。
当天下午,国务委员兼外长王毅会见舍曼时也明确提出防止中美关系失控的“三条底线”。这是继安克雷奇会晤后,中美高级官员再次面对面接触对话,也是中美双方又一次严峻的交锋。王毅此前表示,“如果美国到今天还没有学会如何以平等的态度同其他国家相处,那么我们有责任和国际社会一道给美国补上这一课”,中方这次的讲话被认为是为美国补课准备的最犀利讲稿。尤其让外界震动的是,中方在会谈中提出了两份清单,一份是要求美方纠正错误的清单,另一份是中方关切的重点个案清单。这被认为是中方“史无前例的举动”。中国外交部发言人赵立坚当天下午在记者会上评论中美会谈时表示:“我们敦促美方,千万不要低估14亿中国人民维护国家主权、安全和发展利益的坚强决心、坚定意志和强大能力。”
今(26日)中美天津会谈在上午举行,美国常务副国务卿谢尔曼(Wendy Sherman)和中国外交部副部长谢锋进行会谈,在会议刚开始之际,谢锋马上表示,中美关係会陷入僵局的原因,就是因为美国某些人将中国当成「假想敌」。谢锋也在记者提问上指出,中国向美国提出两份清单,其中包括要求美国停止打压中国企业,以及停止干涉中国内政。
谢锋表示,在双方会谈中,除了表达中美关係的原则立场上,中国也督促美方改变极其错误的对华认知和极其危险的对华政策。谢锋强调,中国对美国在新冠病毒溯源、台湾、涉疆、涉港、南海等问题上的错误言行上,表达强烈不满,他们要求美国立刻停止干涉中国内政,停止损害中国利益。谢锋警告美国,千万不要低估14亿中国人民维护国家主权、安全和发展利益的坚强决心、坚定意志和强大能力。
谢锋还表示,中国向美国提出两份清单,一份是要求美国纠正对于中国的错误政策和言行,另一份则是中国关切的重点个案清单。针对纠正错误清单,谢锋指出,中国督促美国无条件撤销对中共党员及家属的签证限制,撤销对中方领导人、官员、政府部门的制裁,取消对中国留学生的签证限制,停止打压中国企业,停止滋扰中国留学生,停止打压孔子学院,撤销将中国媒体登记为「外国代理人」或「外国使团」,撤销对孟晚舟的引渡等等。
至于在中方关切的重点个案清单中,谢锋则指出主要是关于中国部分留学生赴美签证遭拒,中国公民在美国遭受不公正待遇,美国不法分子滋扰、衝撞中国驻美领事馆、美国国内仇亚、反华情绪滋长中、国公民遭暴力袭击等。针对这些个案向美方表达严重关切,要求美方尽快解决,切实尊重、保护中国公民和机构在美的合法权益。
谢锋并未提及在这次会谈中,美方想与中国讨论项目的项目有哪些。
