因為美國不分黨派終於願意承認
中國不會也不願意(往世界期望的方向)改變

Decades of failed efforts to woo(求愛) China explain the Biden administration’s tough talk ahead of Alaska meeting.
BY MICHAEL HIRSH | MARCH 17, 2021, 4:01 PM

Behind those stark statements—something close to ultimatums(最後通牒)—lay more than two decades of frustration on the part of Blinken, President Joe Biden, and many other senior officials from both parties. Starting with the Clinton administration, which brought China into the World Trade Organization, and on through the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, Washington was eager to engage in a strategic courtship with China.

Many meetings were held, but none made much progress.

Now, like a political generation collectively shedding its blinders(脫掉眼罩), both Democrats and Republicans in Washington have belatedly(遲來的) realized that, as Blinken said in a speech earlier this month, China is not going to change, at least not swiftly or easily.
