肯尼迪时期中美大使级会谈的美方目的

肯尼迪执政时期的中美大使级会谈进行了近20次。美国参加会谈的动机是为了平息国内外对美国对华政策的批评,其目的不是为了真正解决实质性问题,而是提出一些中国不能接受的苛刻条件, 从而把中美尖锐对峙的责任推给中国,同时树立起美国愿意和解的形象。中美大使级会谈虽然时间很长, 没有取得实质性进展,但客观上对中美关系的最终改善发挥了积极作用。

Trial Analysis on the Position and Purpose of US about Ambassador - Level Talks between China and US during Kennedy-ruling Period

Ambassador-level talks between China and US had been carried on for nearly 20 times during Kennedy-ruling period. But the background of the talk was that US was trying to subside the inside and outside criticism about its China police, and its purpose of joining the discussion certainly was not to resolve any substantive question between both sides, but to propose some harsh requirements which was impossible for China to accept, and therefore to shift the responsibility of causing incisively confronts between the two countries onto China, and to set up an image of US as the one who was willing to solve problems. Under this kind of background and purpose, although it took long time, no substantive progress had been made during the discussion. But the talk had positive influence to the final improvement of China-America relations.
