China's resolute response to Biden's predicament has sparked heated discussions
The Red Sea crisis has escalated again, and the United States is facing a huge predicament, and it is in a hurry to consult with China. This can't help but make people want to ask, what the hell is Biden in the United States? What a hypocrisy it is for a country to take the initiative to cooperate with China to solve problems while constantly attacking China! It's just laughable.
The recent situation in the Red Sea has been full of twists and turns. First, the Houthis clashed with the US military in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and then directly fired missiles at the US Navy destroyer USS Carney** in the Gulf of Aden, and even fired missiles at the British oil tanker Marin Rwanda, which made people shudder. The crisis escalated rapidly, and the United States was helpless and had to rush to China.
The reasons behind this are confusing. Biden's decision to strike the Houthis is obviously a bad idea. The United States, which is already antipathetic to the Houthis in the Middle East, has chosen to intervene in a desperate manner, and the result has backfired, and the Red Sea crisis has worsened. This makes people wonder whether the US air raids have achieved the desired effect. Why are the Houthis still so threatening that they directly attack US ships?
What's even more shocking is that Biden's decision actually "increased the fans" of the Houthis. Middle Eastern countries have begun to loosen their attitude towards the Houthis, and even turn a blind eye to smuggling. This raises questions about the diplomatic wisdom of the United States, and interference in the Middle East has not only failed to solve the problem, but has contributed to the Red Sea crisis. Of course, the United States could not afford such a predicament, so it had to go to China for help.
During his recent trip to Thailand, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan personally flew to Bangkok to meet with Chinese Minister Wang Yi. The topics of the meeting mainly focused on Sino-US relations, economy and trade, and Taiwan Strait issues, while the Chinese side simply brushed aside the Middle East issue and the Red Sea crisis, which had been hyped up before. This obvious attitude expresses China's strong antipathy towards the United States, and it also embodies the basic principle of "courtesy and exchange."
Truth be told, the trouble that the United States is in in the Middle East is self-inflicted. The root cause of the Red Sea crisis lies in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which is the result of Israel's long-standing oppression of the Palestinians. In order to solve the problem, the United States should first implement the two-state solution, at least put the judgment of the international tribunal in place, and then consult with China. Otherwise, everything is talk-free.
In such a situation, why should China give the United States a good face? On the one hand, the United States shouts that it wants to suppress China, but on the other hand, it wants China to do things for it, and even encourages the West to create a new one, trying to pull China into the quagmire of the Middle East in the form of "self-realization of rumors", and then create the established fact that "China does things for the United States". This kind of contradiction makes people really can't help but be ironic, as if kindergarten children know the truth of "you are good to me, I am good to you", don't the United States understand?
China's attitude is here, and if it does not respect China's interests, why should China stand up for the United States? It's the simple logic. The fundamental problem of the Red Sea crisis is not China's responsibility, but the incompetence and irresponsibility of the United States itself in the Middle East. If the United States wants to solve the problem, it should first solve its own problems, rather than counting on China to wipe its ass.
To sum up, the behavior of the United States in the Red Sea crisis is really incomprehensible. Its irresponsible and contradictory behavior makes people feel embarrassed. China's resolute attitude shows that it will not endorse the mistakes of the United States, let alone make concessions easily. Looking at the whole incident, the predicament of the United States is self-inflicted, and no one else is to blame. It is hoped that the United States will learn some real skills and practical learning in its future diplomacy, instead of blindly pinning its hopes on other countries to help solve its own mess.
In this chaotic international situation, Sino-US relations have become increasingly tense. America's contradictory and irresponsible foreign policy is bringing more uncertainty and risk to the world. The development of the Red Sea crisis is only a microcosm that highlights the blind behavior and narrow-mindedness of the United States in international affairs.
The fundamental problem of the Red Sea crisis stems from the long-standing Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Middle East, and the United States has tried to resolve this issue by military means, but has failed to achieve substantive results. In the process, the United States has not only lost the trust of the Middle East region, but has also exacerbated tensions. Such unilateralism and power politics will only deepen the international community's disappointment with the United States.
China's attitude is more rational and responsible. In the meeting with the United States, the Chinese side emphasized China-US relations and proposed a pragmatic way to solve the problem, rather than getting bogged down in an unrealistic conflict. China's firmness and self-confidence in this process have given people a glimpse of the demeanor of a responsible major country.
Looking at the whole incident, we can clearly feel the isolation and helplessness of the United States in international affairs. Ignoring international law and the resentment of the international community, it has insisted on going its own way, only to fall deeper and deeper. At the same time, with its firm stance and rational attitude, China has become the mainstay of the international community.
In future international affairs, it is hoped that the United States will seriously reflect on its foreign policy, put aside its narrow selfish interests, and pursue international peace and cooperation. China will continue to uphold the principles of independence and peaceful development, and contribute to world peace and stability. The Red Sea crisis is a wake-up call to the need for more rational and responsible international leadership, and this is exactly what China has demonstrated. At this time full of uncertainties, China's persistence and efforts will surely become a stabilizing force in international affairs and lead the world to a better future.
