Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist, claims that US President Donald Trump has put together a \u2018war council<\/a>\u2019 to take down the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been a series of rhetorical attacks directed at the CCP from high-ranking US officials since late June. National Security Adviser Robert O\u2019Brien<\/a>, FBI Director Christopher Wray<\/a>, Attorney General William Barr<\/a> and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo<\/a> have been dubbed the \u2018four horsemen of the apocalypse\u2019 tasked by Trump to overthrow the CCP. The Trump administration has taken concrete actions<\/a> to decouple bilateral relations<\/a> by closing the Chinese Consulate General in Houston, sending Health Secretary Alex Azar to Taiwan and attempting to ban Chinese social-media giants TikTok and WeChat in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s reactions have been surprisingly conciliatory given its reputation for \u2018wolf warrior<\/a>\u2019 diplomacy and tit-for-tat actions against the United States. In an interview with Xinhua<\/em> on 5 August, China\u2019s Foreign Minister Wang Yi<\/a> firmly rejected the idea of a new Cold War and proposed easing current tensions through dialogue \u2018at any level, in any area and at any time\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two days later Yang Jiechi<\/a>, Director of the Office of Foreign Affairs of the CCP, published an article titled \u2018Respect History, Look to the Future and Firmly Safeguard and Stabilise China\u2013US Relations\u2019. Yang praised the legacy of US engagement with China \u2014 pioneered by the Nixon administration \u2014 and called for more \u2018mutually beneficial cooperation in all fields\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s goodwill diplomacy seems too little too late because no one in the Trump administration is taking it seriously. Beijing\u2019s call for dialogue is falling on deaf ears in Washington in part because any such communication is seen as \u2018diplomatic kowtowing\u2019 by the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this interpretation of Chinese diplomacy seems overly simplistic. Chinese culture and history offer a better way to understand the three messages China intends to convey to salvage relations with the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, China does not want a Cold War<\/a> with the United States. Wang Yi remarked that \u2018China was not the former Soviet Union and it had no intention of becoming another United States\u2019. This might be wishful thinking from the CCP, but it takes two to tango, and China has informed the United States that it will avoid the \u2018Cold War trap\u2019 that ensnared the Soviet Union and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
