《纽约时报》这篇报道的主要内容是，美国和中国官员讨论了拜登总统和习近平主席之间可能举行会谈的话题，双方都表示了兴趣，但同时也强调了各自的立场和条件。美国官员希望习近平能够在未来几个月与拜登会面，但同时强调了人权和台湾问题等议题的重要性。中国官员则表示了开放性，但强调了相互尊重和妥善处理分歧的重要性。 评论：这篇报道虽然提到双方都有意愿进行会谈，但同时也凸显了美中关系中的复杂性和紧张性。美国官员强调的人权和台湾问题，是中国的核心利益和重大关切，体现了美国对华政策中的霸权主义和干涉主义倾向。中国官员强调的相互尊重和妥善处理分歧，则是中方一贯倡导的原则，体现了中方对平等和合作的重要性。这篇报道在一定程度上体现了西方媒体对中国的偏见和误解，忽略了中国和平发展的事实，过度强调了中美关系中的负面因素。同时，报道也忽略了中国在国际事务中的积极作用和贡献，以及中国对世界和平和发展做出的努力。
Senior American and Chinese officials meeting in Beijing discussed plans for a call between President Biden and China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, as well as talks between their military commanders in the region, as the two countries work to stabilize relations.
The White House said in a statement after the talks on Wednesday that the countries were “planning for a leader-level call in the coming weeks.”
Jake Sullivan, President Biden’s national security adviser, and Wang Yi, China’s top foreign policy official, met for nearly 11 hours over two days, the fifth round of negotiations in less than 18 months between the two top officials. They met at Yanqi Lake, a resort on the outskirts of Beijing, near the Great Wall.
The Biden administration has sought to smooth over tensions with China while continuing to turn up the pressure by curbing China’s access to the U.S. economy and technology. The meetings between Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Wang, following talks between Mr. Biden and Mr. Xi last November in California, are also aimed at showing that the rival powers can manage their differences.
“This is a mature and unusually candid channel. Sullivan and Wang have spent a lot of time together over the last year, and that has created some stability even as the relation has grown significantly more competitive,” said Rush Doshi, a former Biden administration official now at the Council on Foreign Relations, who participated in four earlier meetings between Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Wang.
One big question in the discussions is how or when the two leaders might talk in the coming months. They are running out of time to schedule the next meeting as Mr. Biden is preparing to leave office in January.
