.

Detail 1: Anchorage Anchorage is located right between China and the United States. This special geographical location proves that China and the United States have equal status in this dialogue.

From the perspective of epidemic prevention, Alaska is one of the states with better epidemic control in the United States; from the perspective of local exchanges, Anchorage has formed a sister city with Harbin, China; after direct flights between China and the United States were just launched, Alaska is also a

A stop for refueling.

Details 2: Instant noodles On the way before the start of the second meeting, reporters heard Wang Yi ask Yang Jiechi: "Have you had lunch?" Yang Jiechi responded: "Well, I ate instant noodles."

During this Sino-U.S. meeting, the U.S., as the host, did not arrange lunch or dinner for the Chinese delegation. The Chinese delegation could only solve the problem of eating on its own.

In response, netizens said, "Thank you for your hard work, be sure to take care of yourself!" Detail 3: The U.S. speech was delayed. As the host, the U.S. naturally had to make opening remarks first; however, the U.S. did not follow the original speech plan and instead delayed it many times.

hour.

On the occasion of the China-U.S. high-level strategic dialogue, all speeches should be accurately calculated and must be finished within the specified time.

The U.S.'s multiple delays only mean that they have too much to say and too much to negotiate with China.

Detail 4: China requested an extension. According to basic diplomatic etiquette, the length of speeches of both sides should be the same.

After the U.S. made a speech, Blinken and Sullivan gave supplementary speeches respectively; the U.S. has already made two rounds of speeches, and China will naturally make supplementary speeches, which reflects the principle of reciprocity in diplomacy.

Detail 5: The U.S. only asked Chinese journalists to leave. After the U.S. concluded the second round of speeches at the first meeting, Blinken asked all journalists to leave, and had no intention of letting the Chinese side make additional remarks.

According to reporters at the scene, the United States only asked the Chinese journalists to leave at that time, which naturally met with strong opposition from the Chinese delegation.

Yang Jiechi questioned the US side: "Why are you afraid of the presence of journalists?"

Yang Jiechi said that the starting point of the United States is to explain that the United States wants to speak from a strong perspective. If this is the case, why should it be afraid of the presence of reporters?

There is no need to be afraid of the presence of reporters.

Detail 6: No simultaneous interpretation. According to a report by China.com on March 19, the overall duration of the high-level strategic talks between China and the United States exceeded expectations and lasted for 2 hours and has not yet ended.

The American side was not only taking notes, but also constantly passing small notes. The White House China Affairs Coordinator is proficient in Chinese, so there was no simultaneous interpretation on site.

On the issue of translation alone, this move by the US violates basic diplomatic etiquette.

No matter how good this White House official's Chinese is, it is difficult to compare with professional translators. Once he makes an error in the translation process, it can easily lead to political misjudgment.

Detail 7: Notebook Judging from the live video footage, the Chinese side used neat A4 paper to record the key points of the meeting; the American side used notebooks of different sizes carried by the participants.

During the meeting, due to the lack of unified simultaneous interpretation, the American participants even had to tear off a small note from their notebooks to convey information.

Detail 8: Transparent Partitions When Blinken went to South Korea for the "2+2" meeting between foreign ministers and defense ministers, in the conference room prepared by South Korea, there were transparent partitions made of plastic next to each seat. This move

It is a means of prevention during the COVID-19 epidemic; however, the United States did not make such preparations during this high-level meeting between China and the United States.

I don’t know if I am very confident in my epidemic prevention work, or if I feel that such measures are unnecessary?

Details 9: In 1901, 120 years before the year of Xin Chou, China signed the "Xin Chou Treaty" which was humiliating and humiliating to the country.

120 years later, 2021 is also the year of Xin Chou. Representatives of the Chinese government were invited to Alaska to conduct high-level strategic dialogue with the United States on an equal footing.

Wang Yi said that China will never accept groundless accusations from the United States in the past, present and future.
