the Right Direction; Wars and Use of Weapons are Polluting the Planet and
Harming Humanity the Most

Before negotiating with China, if the Biden
administration decides on some important foreign policy issues and proves that
the Biden administration is not a new administration in the bag of the former
Trump administration. This administration has come to power with the idea of
new policies. The Biden administration would change President Trump’s Iran
policy before negotiating with China, announcing the United States
participating in the global nuclear deal with Iran, which the United States had
signed, and its allies were demanding. The United States saw the uprising in
Hong Kong in its own short-sighted interest and it supported the insurrectionists
without thinking of far-reaching consequences. This policy of the United States
has severely damaged the political freedom of the people of Hong Kong. China
called off for the continuation of British-era political freedom in Hong Kong
under one country and two systems. The United States and the West should have
cooperated with China in maintaining Hong Kong’s special status. Hong Kong was
of commercial importance to the United States and the West. Politics should not
have taken precedence over commercial importance. The uprising in Hong Kong,
the riots at the Capitol Building in Washington DC were no different from those
in Hong Kong, but China and Russia did not exploit it for their own political
interests, just as the United States exploits the internal politics of others.
The United States
signed the Shanghai Communique 49 years ago, the United States recognized
Taiwan as part of China in the communique and reiterated its commitment to one
China policy and China called for Taiwan’s annexation in a peaceful manner. In
recent years, trade and people-to-people relations have flourished in Taiwan
and mainland China. The same thing that happened with the Iran deal in the
Trump administration, happened unannounced with Shanghai communique. The Trump
administration has announced that it will sell millions of dollars worth of
weapons to Taiwan. Top US officials were visiting Taiwan. Plans to establish
trade relations with Taiwan are under consideration. These are steps to spoil
bilateral relations. President Biden’s secretary of state and national security
advisers has resumed talks with China where the Trump administration left off. President
Biden said in a foreign policy speech that he would continue President Trump’s policy
toward China, tariff and economic sanctions will not be removed. Trade and
regional issues will be discussed with China. The atmosphere of bad relations
with China that President Trump gave to the Biden administration, President
Biden did not create a climate of trust before talks with China, and when Secretary
of State Antony Blinken. came with National Security adviser Jake Sullivan to talk to
Chinese Counterparts, he loudly said to the Foreign Minister Wang Yi in front of
TV camera, “What is China doing in Taiwan, what is China doing in Hong Kong,
China is violating human rights in the Xinjiang region, China’s military activity
in the South China Sea has increased. The Secretary of State said all this in
two and half minutes non stopped. Instead of answering in Doom, the Chinese
delegation gave a 17-minute lecture to the Secretary of State and National security
Adviser on what is happening in the United States and what the United States is
doing in the world. The US delegation failed in negotiation on Taiwan, Hong Kong,
human rights, and the South China Sea. These were China’s internal affairs if
the United States did not like Russia’s interference in its internal affairs. So
how does the United States expect other countries to accept US intervention in
their internal affairs? Interference should be reciprocal. However, the US
delegation has succeeded in climate change. China and the United States will
set up a joint working group on climate change, after the meeting, the Chinese
delegation said that the two countries would expand communication and cooperation
in the field of climate change.
Wars, use of
weapons, missiles, bombs, rockets, use of depleted uranium missiles, are a
major factors in climate change. The US and Western media do not focus on this
factor in climate change. The United States dropped Atom bombs on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, seventy-five years later the effects are still felt in Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, the soil has radiation effects. The United States used Agent Orange in
the Vietnam War, fifty years later, the effects are still felt in Vietnam. The use
of depleted uranium missiles in Iraq, its effects are being seen in birth defect.
The use of bombs, missiles, and ammunition in the 18 years-old war in Iraq has
polluted the air, soil, and water. The continued presence of US and Western
Aircraft ships in the Gulf, and in the Middle East Poisoning soil, air-water. Wars
and military adventures are changing the climate in the Middle East. Observing the
pollution in the Climate in the Middle East, China wants to keep the United States
and Western countries away from the South China Sea. It is one of the largest
seafood industries in the region, and it is the responsibility of every country
to protect this industry from the toxic contamination of deadly weapons.
