Following the release of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of Huawei, the United States secretly dispatched Wall Street giants to China to hold talks with Chinese leaders, creating an atmosphere for a US-China summit.
The United States is pushing for a summit between President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping within this year. However, China is holding on, saying the summit is meaningless unless hostile measures against China are resolved.
However, the US is trying to create an atmosphere for the summit by releasing Meng, secretly sending a Wall Street tycoon to China to understand the intentions of the Chinese leadership.
◇ Meng Wanzhou released and returned to China : The U.S. Department of Justice said on the 24th that it had agreed to postpone the prosecution of Meng’s financial fraud case in exchange for acknowledging some wrongdoing in relation to Iran sanctions.
As a result, Meng returned to Korea on the 25th. Arriving at Shenzhen Bao’an Airport that night, he was treated like a hero. This is because China regarded his release as a victory for diplomacy with the US and welcomed him widely.
Vice Chairman Meng exclaimed, “My country, I’m back.” He got off the plane wearing a red dress reminiscent of the Chinese flag, the Five Stars and Red Flag, with a red flag badge on his chest.

He poured out ‘patriotic remarks’ through his return statement. He said, “Where there is a red flag, there is a lighthouse of faith. If there is a color in beliefs, it must be Chinese red.”
He added, “I am grateful for the interest of the great motherland and people, the party and the government.”
◇ Wall Street tycoon secretly dispatched to China : In addition, it was revealed that the US secretly sent a Wall Street tycoon to China.
The Wall Street mogul has visited China in the past six weeks to meet with the Chinese leadership, and even visited the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, which has become a key issue between the US and China, as reported by Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 27th.
The visit of the Wall Street mogul to China is reminiscent of a ‘second kissing’, with the official channel virtually closed due to escalating tensions between the US and China, SCMP reported.
The main character who visited China is John Thornton, who served as president of Goldman Sachs, the ‘Wall Street Military Academy’, and now co-chairs the US-China Financial Roundtable.

During his visit, he met with Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Han Jeong-han, 7th in rank of the Communist Party, and also visited the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
He met with a deputy prime minister in Beijing at the end of August to discuss climate change, Xinjiang issues, and the conditions for the US-China summit.
Thornton is a special welcome even though China is restricting entry for foreigners after Corona 19. He acted as a messenger for messages and policies between the US and China’s top leaders, including meetings with top Chinese officials in Beijing.
An official familiar with the matter said, “Thornton’s visit was similar to Henry Kissinger’s visit to China in 1971.

The White House is pushing for a summit between President Joe Biden and President Xi Jinping within the year. However, China is lukewarm about this, saying that the United States must first stop hostilities. China’s unilateral aggression by the United States is brimming with anger.
China is holding on. For example, there is an atmosphere that the summit will not take place unless the US stops further hostilities, such as the abolition of tariffs on China.
However, we cannot stand still in a situation where the US gesture of reconciliation continues. China should also engage in dialogue and resolve various issues.
If the labor is frequent, the jade will come out. A US-China summit is expected soon.
