After Milley officially took office, his attitude towards Sino-Arab relations changed significantly. During the meeting with the Chinese representatives, he said that he attaches great importance to Sino-Argentine relations and promised that Argentina will firmly adhere to the one-China principle and promote cooperation between the two countries in the economic, trade, and people-to-people fields. The shift came as a surprise to the outside world, as Milley made some controversial statements during the election campaign, including breaking off cooperation with China and not joining the BRICS. But in reality, the shift is understandable, because Milley now represents not just an individual, but the interests of Argentina as a whole. He realized that Argentina needs China as an important partner, and that a stable and good Sino-Arab relationship will have tangible benefits for Argentina. Therefore, he decided to readjust his attitude towards China and put Argentina's interests first.
Truth: Milley's shift in attitude towards China-Arab relations is reminiscent of his controversial rhetoric during the election campaign. During the election campaign, Milley, who is a political rookie, needs to attract the attention of voters with controversial statements and keep himself hot enough. And these remarks did play a certain role in his election victory. However, once elected as **, his words and actions represent the interests of the entire country. Previous statements damaged the image of the individual, and now the entire Argentine country will pay the price for his irresponsible statements. So Milley realized he had to be careful about what he said and what he did, and that he had to put Argentina's interests first, and that was a natural turnaround.
It is not surprising that Milley attaches great importance to Sino-Arab relations, because the stability of Sino-Arab relations is highly correlated with the interdependence between China and Arab countries. First of all, in terms of economy, China is currently Argentina's second largest partner and Argentina's main destination for agricultural exports. The economies of the two countries are highly complementary, and mutual benefit and win-win results can be achieved through cooperation. For Argentina, maintaining good and stable Sino-Arab relations is essential to get out of the current severe economic crisis. Milley's search for China's support on the defense island issue is also focused on this mutually beneficial relationship. China has always sided with Argentina and supported the return of the Falklands to Argentina. In the diplomatic battle, China's support as the world's second largest economy and one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council is of great significance to Argentina.
Expanded: China's support for Argentina is not only in the economic field, but also in the political sphere. China is one of Argentina's most important creditors and can be a reliable and cooperative partner for Argentina in resolving the debt crisis. China can give Argentina preferential treatment in terms of loans and extension of repayment period to help it reduce its debt burden. This support also reflects the closeness of Sino-Arab relations and the importance of mutual trust.
Milley's change in attitude toward China and the great importance he attaches to China-Arab relations are expected to promote the further development of China-Arab relations in the next four years. Although Sino-Arab relations may face some **, the fundamentals will not fluctuate much. This is because the development of Sino-Arab relations is based on win-win cooperation, not ideology or alliance. The economic complementarity between the two countries and the mutually beneficial and win-win mechanism have made China-Arab relations have a strong ability to resist risks.
The prospects for Sino-Arab cooperation in the future are very broad. First of all, the two sides can further strengthen cooperation, especially in the field of agricultural products. Argentina is a big country with agricultural products, and China is a huge market demand. The two countries can further expand the scale of agricultural products, realize complementary resources and mutual assistance, and jointly promote agricultural development and farmers' well-being. In addition, there is great potential for cooperation between China and Arab countries in the fields of infrastructure construction, scientific and technological innovation, and energy and resources. The two sides can further strengthen cooperation to promote development and common prosperity in these areas.
Expansion: In addition to the economic field, China-Arab cooperation also has great potential in the fields of people-to-people and education. With the increasing demand for culture and education among the peoples, the two countries can further strengthen cultural exchanges, academic exchanges, and personnel exchanges, promote exchanges and understanding between the two peoples, and enhance the friendly feelings between the two peoples.
The change in his attitude towards Sino-Arab relations after Milley's official inauguration can be understood as his awareness of the importance of Sino-Arab cooperation and his putting Argentina's interests first. The stability and interdependence of Sino-Arab relations make this shift logical. In the future, China-Arab cooperation has broad prospects, and the two sides can strengthen cooperation in various fields such as economy and trade, people-to-people and people-to-people, science and technology, and jointly achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. The development of China-Arab relations is based on win-win cooperation, not ideology or alliances, so the certainty of China-Arab relations far outweighs the uncertainty. In the political, economic and diplomatic fields, China-Arab cooperation will bring tangible benefits and opportunities to both sides. For Argentina, cooperation with China can help it emerge from the current economic crisis, reduce its debt burden, and gain support in its diplomatic struggle. For China, cooperation with Argentina can expand market demand, increase resources**, promote economic development and improve international status. Therefore, China-Arab relations are expected to maintain stable development and achieve more important results in the future.
