At the Munich Security Conference, diplomatic elites from all over the world gathered together to have in-depth discussions and exchanges on the current international situation. The most heated discussion at the meeting was the debate over Ukraine and Israel. These hot issues have touched the nerves of the world and triggered fierce confrontations at the Munich Conference.
It has been two long years since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but the situation has not been effectively alleviated, on the contrary, the war is still going on, and the contradictions are still intensifying. At the meeting, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken once again bombarded Russia, claiming that Russia was preparing to deploy nuclear weapons in space, trying to exaggerate the threat of Russia on the international stage. In this regard, the Russian side said that this is pure slander and malicious propaganda of the West against Russia.
However, what is more interesting is Blinken's statement on the issue of Sino-US relations at the meeting. He has tried to exaggerate America's so-called superiority in the U.S.-China competition in an attempt to convince other countries that the United States has a stronger network of diplomatic cooperation. But what is even more striking is his rather inflammatory statement: "In the international system, if you don't sit at the dinner table, you will be on the menu". This sentence makes people wonder whether the United States is expressing a friendly attitude of cooperation, or is it implying that other countries must be on their side.
Analysts pointed out that Blinken's remarks exposed the bias and arrogance of the United States, and he tried to portray the Sino-US relationship as a life-and-death competition, dividing the world into two camps: those who stand in line and those who are eaten. This kind of zero-sum thinking not only reflects the inherent ideology of the West, but also shows the attitude of the United States towards international competition.
But what is even more shocking is that Blinken went so far as to claim in his speech that the United States and China have a consensus on cooperation in some areas, such as on anti-narcotics and other issues. However, this so-called cooperation is often just the United States pulling China over for its own interests. On some issues related to core interests, the United States has chosen unilateral suppression and sanctions.
The remarks made at the Munich Security Conference have aroused deep thought among countries around the world. How will the direction of international relations affect the future of the world? Who are the true partners of the international community? These problems require us to think together and work together.
