There are certain issues (such as that Taiwan is an integral part of China) which are not negotiable from the Chinese persperctive. Therefore, we just have to wait till that the burdens beared by the U.S. is so large that the U.S. government would have to give in on that issue in order to proceed forward. That is the case for essentially all of the issues mentioned in the September 2024 issue of my website that may cause differences of opinion facing the U.S. and China. But fortunately those differences are all clearly decided by history and previously decided international laws. Therefore we just have to be patient and wait till the U.S. government finally goes along with already decided international laws, then we can proceed forward.

Now, after having trying without any success, I now try to point out the consequences of the confrontational and finger-pointing approach of this U.S.-China relationship. Instead of leading to benefits for the U.S. govervement and the American people, it leads to economic and political setbacks for the U.S., it makes the U.S. being unable to partipate in many key economic areas, such as electric-based vehicles. Although the U.S. may not always be taking the lead in certain industries, it should seriously look at the competitive world, and decide what is the best approach that will lead to the most benefits for the American people. Instead of imagining threats from China, then impose uncalled-for sanctions against China that will lead to disastrous consequences for the U.S. and the American people. The U.S. should realistically assess the security threats from China, and decide whether these security threats are real or imaginary. Doing so could lead to a very different perspective on U.S.-China relationship.
