The United States and NATO have reached a dead end, and now it is a question of whether to fight or not, or what is important now is to consider what can be gained by fighting this war and what may be lost if it is not fought. Obviously, this war is a world war, and even if the NATO allies win in the end, it will inevitably last a long time, and the losses will be heavy, and even the earth may be destroyed if you are not careful, and then everyone will re-establish human civilization from the ruins. Failure to fight this war will obviously make the SCO even more arrogant, weaken NATO's morale, and further weaken the influence of the United States in the world. Since then, it is clear that China has at least equal status with the United States, and the skeleton of a new superpower has been flesh and blood.

Just when everyone was terrified of the possibility of a world war after China had cornered the United States and NATO into a corner, China actually took a step back and gave the United States a step down.

China's foreign ministry envoy Yang Jiechi made a secret visit to Washington and held secret talks with senior diplomats in Washington, and the core of the conversation was only one thing: how to prevent the Kosovo issue from turning into a full-scale conflict between the two powers, which could lead to a dangerous world war.

Chinese envoy Yang Jiechi said: "...... The intensification of the Kosovo issue is related to the failure of the two major countries of China and the United States to conduct proper communication and consultations, and our side also bears responsibility for this and believes that it should be actively improved. With regard to the Kosovo issue, China and the United States should, on the basis of the principle of frankness and friendship, conduct more exchanges of views, understand and accommodate each other's positions and views, and at the same time seek a solution to the problem in accordance with the principles of the UN framework. Any unilateral and drastic action is not constructive for the state of affairs, and it is not what we advocate! ”

After listening to the statement of the Chinese envoy, the Americans really had mixed feelings for a while. On the one hand, China's posture shows that they do not want to fight at the same time as the Americans, or at least do not want to fight at this time, while on the other hand, the Americans are amazed and jealous of China's clever political and diplomatic combination of pushing back and forth.

US Deputy Secretary of State Talbot, as the US personnel who spoke with Yang Jiechi, knew that at this time the United States was able to play a very limited card. Even if some people hope to get more through negotiations, there is no doubt that the Chinese have their own bottom line. China will not tolerate the presence of NATO troops in Kosovo, nor will it tolerate Yugoslavia being subverted by the West. But on the face of the content, China will definitely press Yugoslavia's head and give in a little.

The conditions for resolving the Kosovo issue put forward by Yang Jiechi on behalf of China are: First, NATO and Yugoslavia achieve a comprehensive ceasefire under the supervision of UN Security Council personnel; Second, the Yugoslav authorities and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) will once again hold political talks, and the Yugoslav side will respect the will and dignity of the Kosovo people and give greater flexibility on the issue of Kosovo's autonomy, but Kosovo's affiliation brooks no change, and Yugoslavia will absolutely not withdraw its troops from Kosovo. Thirdly, to gradually facilitate the return and reconstruction of Kosovo refugees under the supervision of the United Nations Monitoring Mission and the High Commissioner for Refugees; Fourth, it is necessary to investigate the "massacre" of Albanian civilians by the Yugoslav military and police, punish the relevant war criminals, and, more importantly, restore the truth.

On the face of it, these conditions are fair, and they are in line with the principles of the Charter, at least legally, there is nothing wrong with them. But in fact, all the previous efforts of the United States were all nullified, Yugoslavia still maintained control of Kosovo, the Yugoslav regime was also stable, and China's presence in the Balkans was obviously unchangeable, and stealing chickens did not make a fool of itself, China completely signed a mutual defense agreement with Yugoslavia through this incident, and Yugoslavia also officially joined the SCO, making the SCO its first European member state, breaking through the scope of the regional alliance of Asian countries.

If the United States agrees to China's conditions, it will be tantamount to knocking out its teeth and swallowing it in its stomach. If they don't accept it, then there is still a big war waiting for them, and if they accept it, they will at least have a little bit of face, and they can comfort themselves, and the United States can be regarded as playing a positive contribution to regional peace and stability.

Since this agreement is something that China and the United States are talking about under the table, the content is even more unscrupulous and spicy, and the two sides can also exchange and bargain for interests nakedly.

Talbot also initially argued: "...... The United States did not trust the dangerous consequences of the continued military presence of the Yugoslav authorities in Kosovo, and NATO could cease its military operations against Yugoslavia under the supervision of the United Nations, but Yugoslavia would also have to withdraw its troops from Kosovo on the ground. ”

Yang Jiechi did not back down: "This point cannot be transferred, and the prerequisite for this agreement to be reached is that Yugoslavia's national sovereignty and territorial integrity are widely respected and recognized, Kosovo is an inalienable part of Yugoslavia, and the legitimate rights that can be exercised as a sovereign state include stationing troops on its own territory." ”

Convinced that this could not be changed, Talbot quickly threw out a new trick: "In order to ensure that the rights and interests of the people of Kosovo are effectively and reasonably asserted, the people of Kosovo should have the right to self-determination, and the Kosovars have the right to choose their own political structure and form their own legitimate government, and the Yugoslav side should not obstruct this." Moreover, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) should be effectively reorganized and reorganized into the local police and security forces in Kosovo after laying down its arms, and I believe that they will be able to protect the rights and interests of the local people better than the Yugoslav army. ”

"I need to reiterate that Kosovo is the territory of Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia has the right to rule of law there, and the political structure of Kosovo is not only a matter for the locals, but also for all Yugoslavs," Yang said. I believe that, in the current situation, Yugoslavia should engage in extensive communication and sustained consultations with the Kosovars in order to reach a constructive and effective political system that upholds its national sovereignty and territorial integrity while taking into account the special needs and characteristics of the local people. I suggest that Kosovo could be administered in the form of a semi-United Nations trusteeship, in which the Yugoslav authorities, the Kosovars and the United Nations Monitoring Mission are combined, until Yugoslavia and Kosovo reach a solid and effective political system. ”

After hearing China's proposal, the United States also showed a certain degree of interest; since it is a semi-UN trusteeship, then the Americans will have the opportunity to infiltrate Kosovo, and even if they cannot control Kosovo, they will be able to infiltrate Kosovo to a certain extent, and at least it will be convenient for them to obtain intelligence on the Chinese troops stationed in Yugoslavia.

The United States, which has gained something, is a little more excited, and at the same time begins to fight for interests on a larger scale. But soon Yang Jiechi threw a bombshell, so that the Americans could not find the north.

“…… According to the investigation of China's intelligence units, China has basically determined that the Kosovo Liberation Army is an illegal armed organization trained and supported by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) with the intention of subverting the situation in Kosovo. We have captured a senior CIA employee, Charles Richards, who, according to his personal account, trained more than 1,000 ethnic Albanian militants in Puerto Rico and secretly sent them to the Balkans in Europe and into Kosovo via Albania.

The above content has been fully verified and evidenced in China, including several key witnesses and a large amount of physical evidence, and we will release it to the public and submit it to the United Nations and national courts if necessary. I believe that once these things are exposed, the negative impact will be on your country. However, China and the United States have a long-standing traditional friendship, and China also hopes to establish a healthier, more mutually beneficial and sustainable major-country relationship with the United States. Of course, China is by no means an existence that can be bullied. A good song sings, when a friend comes, we have wine, and when an enemy comes, we have a shotgun! ”

This remark made the Americans feel a little relaxed while frightened. The United States wants to condemn the arrest of CIA employees by the Chinese, but this kind of thing is done in every country, and there are specific prisoner exchanges every year. What's more, the outside world will not care that China has caught a US spy, but will only pay attention to the fact that the chaos in Kosovo was provoked by the Americans. Once this matter is exposed, although the European allies have some speculation about it, the people of their own country know that it is the Americans themselves who have dug a hole and buried themselves, and they will absolutely not allow their own government to jump into it with the United States.

Moreover, the United States will also suffer strong pressure from its own people, and the resignation of the director of the CIA is certain, and Clinton himself will be affected, so the rational basis for NATO's military action no longer exists, and no matter how thick-skinned the United States is, it is impossible to continue to launch military operations against Yugoslavia.

This is the real trump card of China, and the United States has to admit the conditions put forward by China with a black face. Being ruthlessly put on the table by China has made the US political circles even more ashamed, and the hatred for China has become more and more intense.
