First of all, let us deeply regret the failure of South Korea's bid to host Expo 2030. As a self-proclaimed developed country, South Korea's defeat was undoubtedly a rather painful blow. After all, the last one winsSaudi ArabiaIn South Korea's view, the country has few other comparable advantages than oil. However,Saudi ArabiaIt received hundreds of votes, while South Korea received only 29 votes. Sadly, despite South Korea's efforts to enlist the support of all its allies, including the United States, butSaudi ArabiaStill won. In such a situation, who should the United States, as an ally, choose to support?
At first glance, it was natural to choose South Korea. After all, South Korea has always been obedient to the United States, especially the current South Korean ** Yoon Suk-yeol, during his visit to the United States, he actually sang the United States ** like a joke to please Biden. On the contrary,Saudi ArabiaCrown PrinceBehaved as cold as ice during Biden's visit. However, when we think deeply, we find that the United States needs it even moreSaudi Arabia。And not just becauseSaudi ArabiaPossess abundantPetroleum resourcesMore importantly, according to foreign media reports on December 1, Biden will also inviteSaudi ArabiaDivestment of a Silicon Valley chip company. That's because Biden's planned massive chip investment program is aimed at strengthening U.S. control over this critical technology industry. And in terms of real gold **,Saudi ArabiaIt is undoubtedly the country that is best placed to provide support. It also forced Biden to resort to non-market intervention again.
Seeing this, we can clearly see South Korea andSaudi ArabiaThe stark contrast. South Korea's boundless obedience to the United States has not paid off, and they have suffered setbacks and uncertain future prospects. On the contrary,Saudi ArabiaHe has a lukewarm attitude towards the United States, but he is becoming more and more confident and forging ahead into the future. If we analyze the attitudes of societies towards the American people, we will come to a similarly polarizing conclusion. Those who highly appreciate the United States will also highly appreciate the American people, and vice versa. The survey shows that the evaluation of the American people is highly consistent with the evaluation of the American state, which once again underscores the increasingly dark image of the United States in the minds of the general public since 2003. Disagreement with this conclusion is often driven by blindness, especially in countries such as South Korea and Japan. However, inMiddle Eastregion, about 30 percent of respondents have a positive view of the American people, which is higher than the proportion of respondents who have a positive view of the American state. In general, the spread of anti-Americanism around the world is far from what is expected. U.S. influence in countries like South Korea remains solid, with most people leaning towards **. However,Middle EastThis is clearly not the case in the country and in Pakistan, where popular dislike for the United States has a long and growing history. According to the 42 countries analysed by the Pew Global Attitudes Survey published in 2022, the presence of large Muslim populations is the strongest indicator of anti-American sentiment. From domestic political systems to economic conditions, from military relations to cultural exchanges, almost everything is concretely or statistically linked to anti-American sentiment. As a result, the rate of negative evaluations of the United States is growing.
With the above conclusions, it is not difficult to understand whySaudi ArabiaCrown PrinceHe is not alone, and he will find that there are many countries that are also shedding control over the United States. South Korea, by contrast, thinks it has many allies, but the results of the Expo vote will undoubtedly be a wake-up call. South Korea also needs to be soberly aware that so far, anti-American sentiment has not spread around the world as they thought. The influence of the United States in South Korea and other countries is still strong, and the majority of the people have a ** attitude towards the United States. However,Middle EastThis is certainly not the case with the state and Pakistan. Since 2003, negative evaluations of the United States have grown. The popular dislike of the United States in these countries has a long history and continues to spread. According to the 2022 Pew Global Attitudes Survey, the large Muslim population is the strongest indicator of anti-American sentiment. From domestic politics to economic conditions, military relations to cultural exchanges, almost everything is substantially or statistically linked to anti-American sentiment. Compared to expectations, the proportion of negative evaluations of the United States has increased significantly.
To sum up, thoughSaudi ArabiaThe victory was a loss for South Korea, but it also gave us a clearer picture of the global landscape of relations. South Korea's defeat is a wake-up call that they should not rely too much on the support of their allies, but should take the initiative to strengthen themselves. At the same time, we also see the complex influence of the United States on a global scale. Different countries have different attitudes towards the United States and the American people, which are related to the history, culture, politics, etc. of each country. In any case, we are facingInternationalThe interests and policies of countries should be viewed objectively, rather than being deceived by simple appearances. In this way, we can better understand the reality of the world and make informed judgments and decisions.
