美媒：美中正在筹划高级外交会晤

作者：  来源：万维读者网

消息人士称，美国与中国的外交官正在计划近期在美国夏威夷举行会晤，讨论缓和日益紧张的双边关系。

预计，中方带队的将是中共政治局委员兼国务委员杨洁篪，美方团队负责人是国务卿蓬佩奥。

会晤的具体时间和会谈内容尚未敲定。

美国政治媒体《政客》周六报道说，蓬佩奥在准备前往夏威夷会见中国官员。

如果这次会晤得以实现，这将是美中关系因新冠病毒疫情大流行而急剧恶化以来的首次高级别接触。在这个时期，两国关系经受了一系列问题的打击，已经下滑到几十年来的最低点。影响两国关系的问题包括：对病毒源头进行国际调查、香港问题、因黑人弗洛伊德死亡引起的抗议示威、两国军队在台湾海峡和南中国海的军事活动等。

上次双方高级别会晤是在今年1月15日，中国副总理刘鹤和美国总统川普在华盛顿签署了第一阶段贸易协议。后来，中国国家主席习近平和美国总统川普又在2月7日和3月27日通了两次电话。

最近几个星期，美中紧张关系在继续恶化。中国人大上个月通过在香港推行国家安全法的决定后，川普警告说，一旦香港一国两制发生变化，香港高度自治不再，美国将取消香港的特殊地位。北京回应说，华盛顿干涉中国内政。

川普政府还对北京让武汉爆发的新冠病毒疫情扩散到全世界进行了猛烈的抨击。病毒已经在全球造成42.5万人死亡。北京指责华盛顿甩锅，以掩盖自己应对疫情的失误。

中国国家媒体直接指责蓬佩奥，把他称为美国有史以来最糟糕的国务卿，而蓬佩奥则抨击北京在这次黑人抗议活动中故意搬弄是非，煽风点火。

两国的观察人士都呼吁双方冷静。中国问题分析家表示，北京战狼式外交起到了反作用，需要做出更多的努力避免美中关系彻底破裂。

WASHINGTON (Reuters, June 13, 2020) – U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet China’s top diplomat Yang Jiechi in Hawaii, trying to ease tensions between the world’s two largest economies over various issues, according to media reports.

Pompeo was planning the trip “quietly” and the arrangements were not yet finalized, Politico said.

Pompeo has been vocal in criticizing China on a range of issues from the origins of the coronavirus pandemic to its Hong Kong policy to the treatment of its ethnic and religious minorities,

The U.S. State Department and the Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post newspaper cited an unidentified source as saying that Yang, a state councilor and member of the Communist Party Politburo, will represent the Chinese side for the meeting.

Relations between the countries have deteriorated in recent months, and U.S. President Donald Trump has said he could even sever relations.

Pompeo said last month that China could have prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people around the world by being more transparent about the coronavirus and accused it of refusing to share information.

He also said Chinese plans to impose national security laws on Hong Kong would be the “death knell” for the former British colony’s autonomy.
