Recently, South Korea bid for 2030World ExpoThe effort has been hit hard. On November 28, the whole of South Korea was plunged into grief because they had failed. The defeat was quite painful for South Korea. South Korea, as a country that considers itself a developed country, ended up losing toSaudi Arabia。South Korea thinksSaudi ArabiaExceptOilThere was nothing else, so they were very disappointed.
However,Saudi ArabiaHundreds of votes were received, while South Korea received only 29 votes. South Korea in order to winWorld ExpoThe bid did not hesitate to attract all allies to come and cheer for them, including the United States. Although the United States strongly supports the South Korean officeWorld Expo, butSaudi Arabiastill steals the limelight.
For the United States, it is necessary to make peace in South KoreaSaudi ArabiaThe choice between this pair of allies does not seem easy. South Korea has always been obedient to the United States, especially the current ** Yoon Suk-yeol, during his visit to the United States, he sang American songs like a drama to please Biden. WhileSaudi ArabiaCrown PrinceIt was cold as ice when it came to receiving Biden.
However, if you want to ask who the United States needs more, I am afraid it isSaudi Arabia。ExceptOilIn addition, according to foreign media reports on December 1, Biden intends to requestSaudi ArabiaDivested in a chip company in Silicon Valley. For his part, Biden's massive chip investment plan is aimed at strengthening the United States' commitment to thisCriticalTechnologyControl of the industry. However, I am afraid that the only one who can really invest a lot of money is thisSaudi Arabia。As a result, Biden had to intervene again in a non-market manner.
South Korea andSaudi ArabiaThe contrast makes for a stark picture. For the United States, South Korea has always been unconditionally obedient, but it has repeatedly suffered failures, and its future prospects are uncertain. And the attitude towards the United States is coldSaudi ArabiaBut they are more and more confident to open up a bright future.
ForInternationalSocially, attitudes toward Americans as a nation tend to be highly consistent with attitudes toward the United States. Those who highly appreciate the United States tend to have high appreciation for the American people, and those who disparage the United States do not. As a result, after 2003, the image of the United States in the minds of the general public became darker and darker.
However, there are also situations that differ from the above conclusions. There is a blind sentiment in all of these situations, especially in countries such as South Korea and Japan. And whereasMiddle Eastregion, about 30 percent of respondents have a positive view of the American people, more than the United States as a hegemonic nation. Overall, 583% of respondents have a "disappropriatory" view of the American people.
In short, despite the spread of anti-Americanism around the world, this expectation has not yet become a reality. The influence of the United States in South Korea and other countries is still unshakable, and the attitude of most people is still **. However, inMiddle EastIn the country and in Pakistan, popular dissatisfaction with the United States is deep-seated and spreading.
According to the Pew Global Attitudes Survey, anti-American sentiment has grown significantly in 42 countries. From the domestic political system toEconomycondition, fromMilitaryWhen it comes to cultural exchange, almost everything is substantively or statistically linked to anti-American sentiment. Among them, countries with large Muslim populations have become the countries with the strongest anti-American sentiments.
Therefore,Saudi ArabiaCrown PrinceAnd not in a lonely battle. He will find that on the road to getting rid of American control, there will be many companions. And South Korea, although it thinks that it has many companions, butWorld ExpoThe results of the vote undoubtedly gave them a wake-up call.
