Campbell pointed out at the Aspen Security Forum (Aspen Security Forum) that protests broke out among the Chinese people due to the strict anti-epidemic policy, but the loosening measures may lead to a pandemic, and the domestic policy is in a dilemma. Including the sovereignty dispute between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands and the military conflict between China and India in the Himalayas, which severely damaged its international status.

China itself realizes that it is backfiring in many ways.

China's domestic and foreign pressure is the last thing it wants to be an open enemy of the United States

Campbell said that China's aggressive behavior in recent years has prompted many countries that had previously maintained an ambiguous attitude between China and the United States to be willing to further interact with the United States; China's ability to project soft power, including cultural influence, has also been damaged.

He believes that the above situation shows that the last thing China wants now is to be openly hostile to the United States. China hopes to achieve a certain degree of predictability and stability, and so does the United States.

He predicts that in the next few months, the world will see that the power diplomacy between the United States and China will develop in a practical and predictable direction, and the entire region will feel reassured.

Campbell mentioned that after Russia invaded Ukraine, all parties understood the importance of Taiwan and the challenges it faced. Countries in the Indo-Pacific region had more discussions on maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Once something happened in the Taiwan Strait, it would have dire strategic and commercial consequences. , No one can benefit from it, and all countries know this well.

On the 8th, Xueman arrived in France, the fourth stop of the European tour, and successively met with the Secretary-General of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Descadas, and the Director of Foreign Relations and Strategy of the Ministry of National Defense, Roufoux.

According to the summary of the meeting published by US State Department spokesperson Price, Xueman emphasized that China and Russia are allied. Stable and prosperous.
