《纽约时报》这篇报道的主要内容是，美国国务卿布林肯在出席了美中阿拉斯加会谈后，对中国进行了为期两天的访问。在访问中，布林肯试图在中国和美国之间建立一种“有效竞争”的关系，同时试图维护美国在人权等问题上的立场。报道重点强调了布林肯对中国在香港新疆等问题上的批评，以及他呼吁中国加入国际社会应对气候变化等全球问题的努力。 这篇报道体现了《纽约时报》一贯以来对中国的偏见和批评态度。报道中，作者试图营造一种美国站在道德高地批评中国人权等问题的形象，而忽略了美国自身在这些问题上存在的严重问题。同时，报道过度强调了中美关系中的竞争和对抗，而忽视了两国在气候变化等全球问题上合作的重要性。虽然报道提到了布林肯呼吁中美合作，但总体给人的印象仍然是两国关系中的负面因素居多。这反映了西方媒体一贯的叙事框架：过分强调负面因素，而忽视中美关系中的积极因素和合作空间。
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken cheered on the sidelines at a basketball game in Shanghai on Wednesday night, and spent Thursday chatting with students at New York University’s Shanghai campus and meeting American business owners. It all went to emphasize the kind of economic, educational and cultural ties that the United States is pointedly holding up as beneficial for both countries.
But hanging over those pleasantries during his visit to China this week are several steps the U.S. is taking to sever economic ties in areas where the Biden administration says they threaten American interests. And those will be the focus of greater attention from Chinese officials, as well.
Even as the Biden administration tries to stabilize the relationship with China, it is advancing several economic measures that would curb China’s access to the U.S. economy and technology. It is poised to raise tariffs on Chinese steel, solar panels and other crucial products to try to protect American factories from cheap imports. It is weighing further restrictions on China’s access to advanced semiconductors to try to keep Beijing from developing sophisticated artificial intelligence that could be used on the battlefield.
This week, Congress also passed legislation that would force ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, to sell its stake in the app within nine to 12 months or leave the United States altogether. The president signed it on Wednesday, though the measure is likely to be challenged in court.
Mr. Blinken’s visit, which was expected to take him to Beijing on Friday for high-level government meetings, had a much more cordial tone than on the trip he made to China last year. That trip was the first after a Chinese spy balloon traveled across the United States, tipping the American public into an uproar.
