On his first day in office, Milley did a great job that caused a sensation at home and abroad. He signed a decree reducing the number of cabinet departments from 18 to 9, drastically reducing the size and personnel of the Cabinet Department. He said that this is to improve the efficiency of the first and save public money, but also to break the old power structure and eliminate the influence of corruption and interest groups.
This move undoubtedly shows Milley's decisiveness and determination, and also reflects his spirit of reform and innovation. However, this has also raised some questions and concerns, and some people believe that this is a manifestation of Milley's **and**, his attempt to centralize power, weaken the checks and balances of other institutions, and undermine the pluralism and representativeness of **. What's more, there are fears that this is a coup d'état by Milley, who wants to establish an authoritarian political system and destroy democracy and freedom in Argentina.
So, what impact will Milley's big move have on Argentina's future?In particular, what will happen to the relationship between Argentina and China?China is an important partner of Argentina and the second largest partner of Argentina, and the two sides have extensive cooperation and exchanges in the fields of economy, trade, investment, infrastructure, energy, agriculture, science and technology, and culture. Will Milley's coming to power bring new opportunities or new challenges to Sino-Arab relations?
To understand Milley's influence on Sino-Arab relations, we must first understand his political philosophy and attitude toward China. Milley is a conservative who believes that Argentina should safeguard its national interests and not be subject to external interference and influence, especially not to be controlled and commanded by the United States and the European Union. He opposes globalization and multilateralism, which he considers to be tools of Western countries to deprive Argentina of its sovereignty and resources.
He advocated that Argentina should establish closer cooperative relations with other developing countries to jointly respond to global challenges and crises and achieve common development and prosperity. He also advocated that Argentina should strengthen its defence capabilities to defend its territory and seas, especially the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands, known in the United Kingdom as the Falkland Islands.
Milley's attitude toward China is complex and contradictory. On the one hand, he expressed his admiration and appreciation for China's development and rise, he believes that China is a great civilization and country, with a long history and profound culture, but also has a strong economy and science and technology, is an important partner and friend of Argentina, Argentina should learn from China's Xi, learn from China's experience and model, strengthen exchanges and cooperation with China, and jointly promote the "business road" initiative to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
On the other hand, he expressed concern and vigilance about China's influence and competitiveness, he believes that China is an ambitious and strategic country, with its own politics and ideology, and Argentina's values and interests are in conflict, Argentina should maintain its own independence and autonomy, not be swayed by China's ** and pressure, to safeguard its own sovereignty and security, to prevent China's infiltration and expansion in Argentina.
When Milley came to power, his first task was to solve Argentina's internal problems, especially economic and social problems. Argentina's economy has been in a downturn and difficult situation, experiencing many crises and recessions, high inflation and poverty rates, increasing debts and deficits, and declining living standards and happiness of the people.
Milley's economic policy is to restore economic vitality and growth by reducing expenditures, lowering taxes, encouraging the private sector, promoting market competition, attracting foreign investment, and creating jobs. He also wants to restore order and stability in society by cracking down on corruption, reforming the judiciary, strengthening the rule of law, and improving transparency and trust. He also wants to enhance the country's soft power and competitiveness by improving education, improving medical care, expanding social security, protecting the environment, and improving the welfare and quality of the people.
Although Milley's internal political reforms were conducive to Argentina's economic and social development, they also brought some challenges and difficulties to his diplomacy. First, his conservatism and nationalism could lead to tensions and conflicts in his relations with the United States and the European Union. The United States and the European Union have always been Argentina's main partners and creditors, and have an important influence on Argentina's economy and politics.
If Millet refuses to comply with their will and demands, he may be subject to sanctions and retaliation from them, affecting Argentina's interests and security. Second, his anti-globalization and anti-multilateralism may lead to alienation and estrangement in his relations with other countries and regions. Argentina is an important country in South America and a member of the South American Common Market (MERCOSUR) and the South Common Market (MERCOSUR), and has close cooperation and ties with other South American countries. If Milley ignores and undermines these cooperation mechanisms and organizations, it may damage Argentina's position and influence in South America, as well as affect Argentina's interests and security.
For China, Milley's diplomatic challenge is also an opportunity for China. In the current international situation, China is an important supporter and partner of Argentina and can provide Argentina with help and support in many aspects. First of all, China is an important market and investment for Argentina, which can provide stable demand and capital for the Argentine economy. China is Argentina's second-largest partner and Argentina's largest export market for agricultural products, with the amount of both sides reaching US$20 billion in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 15%.
Milley's move to take office has sparked public concern, and he has shown decisive determination to reform domestic affairs, but it has also brought diplomatic challenges. For China, Milley's attitude toward Sino-Arab relations is a mixed one, ranging from appreciative of cooperation to concerns about China's influence. In the future, Argentina's relationship with China may be affected by internal and external factors, and it is necessary to balance the interests of all parties and seek win-win cooperation.
