Cui Tiankai and Chen Guangcheng
The case of blind activist Chen Guangcheng in 2012 sparked a diplomatic dispute between China and the United States. Before moving to the US for further studies Chen was allowed to study law in mainland China. When Cui saw the shortlist of universities recommended by the Americans, he roared: “There’s no way he goes to East China Regular, I’m not going to share an alma mater with that man!”.
Cui Tiankai Interview
On 6 March 2013, reporters from China Youth Daily interviewed Cui Tiankai when he attended the National People’s Congress. “The root cause of all problems in the Sino-Japan relationship is whether Japan can accept a powerful China.” Cui said, “If Japan can realize and solve this problem in her mind, all the other problems can be solved easily.”
Cui Tiankai Speech
On 8 October 2013, Cui Tiankai delivered a speech at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies. He said some Japanese believe that: “During World War II, Japan was only defeated by the United States and her atom bombs. Therefore, Japan only needs to get along well with the United States while ignoring other nations.” “This is a downright incorrect viewpoint.” Cui emphasizes that, “Japan was defeated by all the peace-loving people including both Chinese and American people. There will be dire consequences if Japan is misled by incorrect viewpoints about past history.”
Cui Tiankai spoke at the Strategic and International Studies Center on July 12, 2016, following China’s rejection of the Philippines’ decision on an international tribunal arbitration case. He believed the arbitration attempt was unconstitutional, as it was done without Chinese permission. Cui expressed his desire for future diplomatic settlements on conflicts in the South China Sea, and also expressed a wish for more active cooperative ventures and activities with other countries.
Cui Tiankai Coronavirus
New York Times released an op-ed “China and the U.S.,” by Ambassador Cui on April 6, 2020. Contra Coronavirus must collaborate. Here is the article in its summarized text:
China was hit hard by the pandemic not long ago, so its people can empathize with Americans’ suffering now. We made huge sacrifices to push back the virus; we know how tough the battle is, and will continue to be. This is not the time for finger-pointing, this is a time for solidarity, collaboration, and mutual support. Chinese and American health authorities and experts have stayed in close communication to share knowledge and experience.
China is doing whatever it can to support the U.S. and other countries in need of medical supplies. China’s provincial and city governments are rushing to help their sister states and cities in America. Chinese companies have donated 1.5 million masks, 200,000 test kits, 180,000 gloves, and many other medical supplies to the United States. Chinese communities in America are also showing their support with generous financial and material donations.
We must also enhance our coordination of macroeconomic policy to stabilize markets and ensure growth and people’s livelihoods, Xi says. This was the core message delivered by President Xi during the virtual Group of 20 summit on Covid-19 late last month. It is also an integral part of the notion that countries belong to a global community with a shared future.
