Recently, Russia, on behalf of China, Belarus, Brazil, Syria, Cuba, Kazakhstan and many other countries, put forward an important draft resolution, that is, the draft resolution "no first deployment in space**" was widely supported by the UN General Assembly, and was adopted by 127 countries voted in favor, 51 countries voted against, and 6 countries abstained. The adoption of this resolution is of great significance for maintaining peace in space and preventing an arms race in space.
Notably, the resolution calls on all space-capable countries, including China and Russia, to consider making a statement of their political commitment not to deploy ** in space first. The move is intended to underscore the urgency of preventing an arms race in space and calls on countries to work together to avoid potential conflicts in this area. In spite of the resistance of the United States and its allies, Russia has resolutely pushed for the adoption of this draft resolution, which undoubtedly demonstrates Russia's positive role in international affairs.
Russian Deputy Minister Ryabkov said that Russia proposed that all members of the international community make a commitment not to be the first to deploy in space, and countries represented by Russia and China proposed a draft treaty on the prevention of an arms race in outer space. Despite resistance from the United States and its vassals, Russia has steadfastly pushed for the adoption of the draft.
The introduction of the draft resolution has undoubtedly played an important role in the maintenance of global peace and stability. By adopting this draft resolution, Russia has not only sent a clear signal of opposition to the United States, but has also received broad support from the international community. Once again, Russia's leadership and active role in international affairs were demonstrated.
1.Constraining U.S. behavior: The U.S. has long had colonial ambitions for outer space and has not signed international treaties such as the Agreement on the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies. In addition, the United States has introduced a series of relevant bills, which have essentially undermined the United Nations system. Frequently sponsored draft resolutions by China and Russia are aimed at restricting U.S. actions and making it respond to the initiative to ban space.
2.Taking a stand and taking the high ground: When China and Russia put forward the draft resolution, they aim to show the world their position and their firm determination to maintain peace in space. The broad support for these draft resolutions reflects the concerns of many countries about the arms race in space and their desire for a peaceful solution. This move will help China and Russia occupy the commanding heights on the international stage and form a certain constraint on the United States and other countries with space capabilities.
3.Safeguards for small countries: For those small countries that do not have space capabilities, being able to limit the deployment of space by large countries is a guarantee. As a result, these small countries tend to take a concurring position in support of the draft resolution proposed by China and Russia.
There have been a series of contests and controversies between China, Russia, and the United States over the issue of an arms race in space. Last year, for example, the United States announced a moratorium on ascent anti-satellite tests in an attempt to portray itself as a "guardian of peace." However, China, Russia and other countries have mercilessly countered the double standards and hypocritical and hegemonic features of the United States.
In fact, the United States has never given up its ambition to dominate space. However, the draft resolution proposed by China and Russia, as well as the results that have received broad support, will undoubtedly reveal the true intentions and position of the United States. In the face of accusations and doubts from the international community, the United States has had to rethink its actions and policies in the field of space.
To sum up, China and Russia, on behalf of China and other countries, put forward a draft resolution on "no first deployment in space", which was successfully adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. The adoption of this draft resolution is of great significance for the maintenance of peace in space and the prevention of an arms race. The Chinese and Russian moves have not only constrained the behavior of the United States and other countries, but also made their positions clear on the international stage and won widespread support. Despite the rivalry between China and Russia and the United States, they insist that their efforts to maintain peace and stability will continue, because it is our common responsibility to ensure the stability and prosperity of a community with a shared future for mankind.
