The UAE is the United States inMiddle Easttraditional allies in the region, but in recent years, relations between the two countries have become increasingly strained. Especially after the latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, US-Arab relations have further deteriorated. The UAE no longer blindly follows the opinion of the United States in a number of waysInternationalIn affairs, he began to pursue an independent foreign policy. Recently, the UAE artificial intelligence company G42 has partnered with Chinese companies, causing unease and concern in the United States. Washington, for its part, began to create so-called "security threats" in an attempt to force the UAE to sever diplomatic relations with China. However, the UAE did not succumb to US pressure. Instead, they chose to ignore U.S. warnings and signed a 35 billion yuan cooperation agreement with China. This move once again demonstrates the UAE's determination to defend its right to independence.
According to a report by the Observer on November 29, Khaled Tammimi, president of the Bank of the United Arab Emirates**, andPeople's Bank of ChinaPresidentPan GongshengTalks were held in Hong Kong and discussions were held on China-Arab financial cooperation and other topics. After the talks, the two sides signed a five-year local currency swap agreement with a swap scale of 35 billion yuan and 18 billion UAE dirhams. In addition, China and Argentina also signed a "Strengthening Central Bank Digital Currency Cooperation".Memo。These cooperation agreements will further promote the close cooperation between China and Argentina in the financial field and inject new vitality into the economic development of the two countries.
The United States has expressed concern about Sino-Arab cooperation and has tried to prevent cooperation between the two countries in the high-tech field by various means. It is understood that the CIA has begun to review the relationship between the G42 group and Chinese companies, accusing the G42 of violating US sanctions and cooperating with Huawei and other companies. There are United States** even discussing the possibility of imposing sanctions on the G42 group in order to force the UAE to choose between China and the United States. This series of actions shows that the United States is trying to suppress China's development in artificial intelligence, biological research and other fields, and to contain the presence of China and ArgentinaAstronauticsTechnical cooperation.
There are deep-seated reasons and meanings behind the UAE's unwavering attention to US warnings and its firm cooperation with China. First, the UAE believes that establishing close relations with China will not hinder relations with the United States. The UAE senior ** made it clear that the UAE wants to further develop relations with the United States, but not at the expense of relations with other countries. Second, the UAE sees a huge opportunity to cooperate with China. China is in artificial intelligenceAstronauticsTremendous achievements have been made in the fields of digital currency, and cooperation with China will be beneficial to the UAE's scientific and technological innovation and economic development. Finally, the UAE's choice, which shows their refusal to become pawns of the United States, demonstratedMiddle EastThe attitude of the state to uphold its autonomy and pursue an independent foreign policy. This is of great significance to the stability and prosperity of the region.
In addition to the financial and high-tech sectors, the UAE has also cooperated with China in other areas. Recently, the University of Sharjah in the UAE successfully joined our country's lunar program and worked withChina and RussiaLeadingInternationalThe lunar scientific research station project became a partner, which caused discontent in the United States. The United States believes that the UAE's cooperation with China will weaken its position inMiddle Eastregional influence, while China and Argentina are inAstronauticsCooperation in this field will also promote China's development in space technology. However, the U.S. obstruction has not changed the UAE's willingness to cooperate with China. The two countries are inAstronautics, transportation infrastructure, green energy and other fields will continue to expand and deepen.
The U.S. warning and sanctions on the UAE's cooperation with China are a means of hindering and suppressing the development of China's high-tech industry. However, the UAE has chosen to assert its autonomy, ignoring US interference and signing a massive cooperation agreement with China. This not only reflects the UAE's firm support for China-Arab friendship and cooperation, but also demonstrates itMiddle EastThe rise of a regional independent foreign policy. In China withMiddle EastIn the context of strengthening national cooperation, the two sides will jointly explore more areas of cooperation and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the region.
