In his annual press conference, Blinken mentioned the U.S. response to the Russia-Ukraine conflictIsraeli-Palestinian conflict, competition with China, and world leadership. While he is confident that the United States has the upper hand on these issues, he ignores some important facts.
In terms of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, although the United States has shown support for Ukraine, it has not actually taken action. Russia, on the other hand, has demonstrated its stabilizing strength and has diplomatically brokered an important breakthrough in de-escalation. The conflict in Ukraine developed rapidlyInternationalconflict, the role of the United States is not so significant.
InIsraeli-Palestinian conflictThe United States has maintained a pro-Israel stance. However, this unilateral support has not led to a lasting peace settlement. In fact, the Palestinians have been fighting for their rights, and U.S. favoritism has only exacerbated tensions.
When it comes to competition with China, the U.S. rhetoric is fierce, but its actual actions have been met with some restrictions and setbacks. China's rise in the economic and technological spheres has become a fact and an important global partner. The U.S. competitive strategy has not achieved a clear advantage.
The United States claims to be a world leader, but it has not made breakthroughs in tackling global challenges. For example, in response to global issues such as climate change and public health crises, America's leadership has been questioned and challenged. Other countries are beginning to seek multilateral cooperation to build a more just and sustainable worldInternationalOrder.
At the year-end press conference, Blinken pointed out that the U.S. partnership in the Indo-Pacific region is unbreakable, but in fact, the response of Indo-Pacific allies to China is worth watching. Recent actions by allies such as Australia, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines show that they want to ease relations with China.
Australia has recently sent a positive signal to the Chinese side that it hopes to resume normal cooperation between the two countries. The Australian Prime Minister's visit to China and the request for an "anti-dumping" duty exemption on Chinese wine are indicative of Australia's desire to maintain good relations with China.
Japan and South Korea are also adjusting their positions between China and the United States. Japan's new ambassador to China has publicly stated that he will work hard to improve the environment for dialogue and consultation between China and Japan. The South Korean governor also expressed hopeChina-South Korea relationsand seek to achieve a more balanced diplomatic relationship between the United States and South Korea and China and South Korea.
The Philippines has also expressed its willingness to cooperate with China in the hope of reducing tensions in the South China Sea through communication and dialogue. This shows that the Philippines realizes that it is a more pragmatic and feasible way to resolve disputes through cooperation with China.
The U.S. practice of co-opting allies in small groups has not achieved the desired results, but has caused allies to think and adjust. They are beginning to recognize the importance of working with China and are seeking to achieve a balanced and harmonious relationship.
China has shown remarkable resilience in the face of the U.S. challenge, not only stabilizing its position, but also achieving some important victories. ChineseInternationalThe status is gradually rising,Gold BricksChina, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Belt and Road Initiative have all attracted the attention of the world.
At the same time, China has taken more and more countermeasures against the United States. In recent months, China has adopted a series of restrictionsRare earthsmeasures for the export of processing technology, which gave the US industrial giants and other dependenceRare earthsThe imported industry has been hit hard.
In addition, China suspended 12 preferential treatment for Taiwan under the ECFA frameworkTariffspolicy, which is a slap in the face for some people who seek ** through the power of the United States. Every time China takes countermeasures, they are real, and each time they hit the other side's pain points.
Unlike the bluff of the United States, China has done every move. More and more people are beginning to realize that the beautiful PPT of the United States cannot hide the reality of the game between China and the United States. The game between China and the United States has entered a new stage, and China is in the initiative in this game.
The United States has been trying to contain China's rise through various means, but they have ignored China's stable economic foundation and strong power. China inInternationalHis position on the stage is becoming more and more important, and he has fully demonstrated his ability to become a global leader.
The U.S. competitive strategy has not achieved the desired results, on the contrary, China has won more and more support and recognition through practical actions and a stable foreign policy. The results of the game between China and the United States have begun to be proven by the world's actions that China is a winner with strength and wisdom.
It can be seen from the content of the article that Blinken was right at the year-end press conferenceU.S.-China relationsand China inInternationalThe characters on stage were evaluated and looked forward to. However, the facts do not quite correspond to his claims. The article pointed out that the United States has been involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflictIsraeli-Palestinian conflict, competing with China, and leading the world have not achieved a clear advantage. On the contrary, China has stabilized its position and won more and more support and recognition through the right diplomatic strategy and effective countermeasures.
At the same time, U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific region have expressed a willingness to ease relations with China. Countries such as Australia, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines are actively engaging and cooperating with China in hopes of improving their relations.
China has demonstrated excellent response to the U.S. challenge and has taken a series of forceful countermeasures. The article mentions that China has twice launched important measures in a row, restrictionsRare earthsExport of processing technology and suspension of preferential treatment to TaiwanTariffspolicy, which has caused real losses to the United States and some "** forces."
Finally, the article points out that the bluff and beautiful PPT of the United States cannot hide the reality of the game between China and the United States.
