In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, there are many relatives in the family, and the 10-month-old baby still has a fever, so the update is a little slower. But now that work is on the horizon and the child is fully recovered, I'm back as a "missing person"! Let's continue to brush the headlines, see the world, and dance.
What shocked me the most in the past few days of the Spring Festival was the reaction of an Iraqi uncle and a Syrian brother to the sound of firecrackers on the streets of China
The Syrian brother held his chin in his hand and fell into deep thought, "When I heard this voice in Syria before, I would guess what it was, and whether to run away or not."The reaction of these two people is not acting, it is too real!Uncle Iraq was eating a Chinese roadside stall during the Spring Festival during the live broadcast, and suddenly a few kicks made him frightened, and he quickly wanted to find a cover to hide, and suddenly thought that he was in China, so he smiled at the mobile phone a little embarrassed and a little knowingly - that moment made people sigh: What is the quiet time? What is Guotai Min'an? The fireworks of this firecracker sound in the world, that is.
Because I've been in Iraq, Syria, and the United States for a few years — the sound of firecrackers and gunfire, it's really similar, and the sound of two kicks and human bombs is similar.
The first time I went to the Middle East was in Iraq in 2013 and flew away on the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month. Before leaving, artillery was being fired everywhere in front of Beijing's home. I was only 24 years old at the time, and I heard a burst of gunfire for the first time in Baghdad, and I was still thinking about what festival they were celebrating. Run! When I heard the human bomb for the first time, I subconsciously cursed in my heart: Whose bear child put two kicks in the city center again? Then I found that there was wolf smoke billowing behind him, sirens sounded, and countless frightened passers-by began to flee in all directions.
But these attacks have been hard to get into the news. Because 2013 is the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq by the United States with a bottle of "washing powder", and the capital Baghdad had more than 20 terrorist attacks a day at its worst. But people have long been numb, the news focuses on the number of "how many attacks are up to today", rather than the details of a specific attack, and even how many people died that day, different ** are counted in different calibers, and in the end can only vaguely report "there are hundreds of more people**".
I was interviewing in the Middle East.
The house where the family lived was full of bullet holes.
What is even more tragic is that that year, the biggest concern for the Middle East was not Iraq, but Syria next door. But the angle is not "the United States has scourged the Middle East, bombed all the way, and the Syrians are really miserable", but "whether Syria has violated human rights".
That year, China had just proposed the Belt and Road Initiative. After I returned from Iraq, I went to Xinjiang to cover the news of the "Belt and Road", but at that time, "leading the way" was still a concept and a big word. After an interview for a long time, in addition to listening to a lot of symposiums and seeing a lot of PPT, I didn't get any pictures, which made me anxious, so I could only take pictures of Xinjiang's beautiful scenery, food, and beauties.
The 10th anniversary of the "Belt and Road" is the 10 years that the world has witnessed how China has turned PPT into reality, and it is also the 10 years that the United States has smeared Xinjiang by painting PPT.
Our "Belt and Road" vsThe 10-year ** story of "one bomb all the way" starts here.
Said year by year.
Yes, 10 years after the United States invaded Iraq with "laundry detergent", in 2013, a local "laundry detergent" production team in the Middle East was established.
Fake news "White Helmets", based in Syria.
At this time, it has been 10 years since the Iraq War and two years since the "Arab Spring" - you can look at the map of the Middle East, this year, there is almost no peaceful place in the Middle East: from Tunisia (hawkers ** caused riots), to Libya (Gaddafi was overthrown), to Egypt (Mubarak fell), to Palestine and Israel (because the United States has been fighting for decades), to Syria (the United States has supported the opposition in the civil war), to Iraq (the US military has been fighting for 10 years), to Afghanistan (the US military has been fighting for 12 years), It's all on. At this time, there were only a few relatively stable major countries in the Middle East, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
Detailed map of the Middle East.
Location of the Middle East on the map.
In these countries, Syria got the hellish script of "the outbreak of civil war and the support of the opposition by the United States" in the "Arab Spring".
As soon as Syria was in chaos, an officer from the British ** Intelligence Division 6 began to do things. His name was James Le Mesurier, and he ran into Syria and founded a self-proclaimed "Syrian Civil Defence" organization, marked by putting a white helmet on a map of Syria and saying that he wanted to save civilians like the Red Cross.
Since the emblem is the White Helmet, and everyone wears the White Helmet, the organization is also commonly known as the "White Helmet".
When the founder of the "White Helmets" served in MI6, he fought several wars for NATO under the banner of "human rights above sovereignty," including the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The fakes made by the "White Helmets", especially the super lie of putting white powder on the faces of Syrian boys in 2016, and the bizarre death of the founder who fell from the balcony in 2019, will be talked about later.
Yes, 2016 is this fake picture of the "White Helmets".
Our CCTV CGTN hand-tore the "White Helmets" fake, ** talk about it in detail in 2016!
Today's article will go back to 2013.
In August of this year, a group of Syrian children, with difficulty breathing and empty eyes, were suspected of being attacked by chemical **! I've seen that paragraph**, alas, it's so miserable, I won't be on the picture here.
So the American ** fryer. The familiar line of American politicians is here again: human rights are above sovereignty, and Syria must be hit!
However, at this time, the United States is deeply involved in the two battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, can it afford to fight a third war? There was a quarrel in the United States. In the end, then-Secretary of State John Kerry issued an "ultimatum" that was ostensibly arrogant, but in fact self-defeating:
If Syria wants to avoid being hit by foreign affairs, it can be, then it has to hand over all the chemical ** in its hands and accept international scrutiny. Of course, Syria simply cannot agree. ”
It is simply impossible to agree? Eh, "I didn't expect it", Syria really agreed, did so, and all the chemical ** was handed in.
So, the U.S. military symbolically threw some missiles at Syria, but there was no invasion. The bloody civil war in Syria, continues.
Yes, the Belt and Road Initiative was born.
China upgraded the "China-Arab States Economic and Trade Forum" to the "China-Arab States Expo" in order to cooperate with the "Belt and Road"! At this time, Arab countries have not yet announced their participation in the "Belt and Road", so this expo has become an important platform for cooperation between China and Middle Eastern countries.
It was also this year that Mahmoud Abbas, a Palestinian in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, visited China. For the first time, China has clearly put forward a four-point proposal for resolving the Palestinian-Israeli issue: upholding the two-state solution, insisting on negotiation as the only way, insisting on land for peace, and insisting on the promotion of the international community.
You see, 10 years have passed, Palestine and Israel are still fighting, and China's principles have not changed.
Some people will say: People have set up "White Helmets" to engage in fake news, forced Syria to hand in chemical weapons, and pulled sides in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China has put forward a four-point proposal on the "Belt and Road" and the Palestinian-Israeli issue, held an expo, and called for peace and development all day long. Do we have to rely on PPT to fight with the United States and the West in the Middle East?
Hehe, then you underestimate China's ability to turn PPT into reality.
The United States is losing ground in the Middle East
The number one enemy: "Iran's influence in the Middle East has risen instead of decreasing;
Syria has become Iran's hardcore ally;
Saudi Arabia, an ally of the United States, openly contradicted and shook the foundation of the hegemony of the "petrodollar";
Turkey, a NATO country, "jumped back" and increasingly supported Russia;
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is becoming more and more bloody, and there is a rift between Israel and the United States;
Countless TikTok little ** in the tragic situation in Gaza have begun to hollow out the hegemony of the United States and Israel.
Moreover, Saudi Arabia and Iran's largest partner is China, Israel's second largest partner is China, and Turkey's third largest partner is China.
Saudi Arabia and Iran also achieved a historic reconciliation under the mediation of China last year, and in those days CNN was uncomfortable, and a large number of articles were reported, but they did not mention that the signing place of Saudi Arabia and Iran was Beijing.
The Syrian ** couple visited China and attended the Asian Games in Hangzhou, and many moments touched countless netizens in the two countries. China, which has just come out of the predicament, "always wants to hold an umbrella for others because it has been raining".
peace and development", never before has it become so concrete in the Middle East as it is today.
Manually split the line!!
This year, the chaos of most of the "Arab Spring" began to settle. In general, even those in North Africa have been overthrown, and those in West Asia have not been overthrown.
In this process, China has adhered to the principle of not taking sides and not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and has respected the choices of the local people.
This year, the situation in Syria is the most uncertain. The whole world was shocked, one moment saying that Assad was about to be unable to hold on, and the other time saying that another wave of opposition people had been wiped out by dumplings.
The United States has found that if it wants to overthrow Syria in one go, it is certainly not enough to give money to the "White Helmets" and engage in fake news. And hand the knife!
As a result, the United States has continuously given a large amount of money and ** to the opposition forces in Syria.
Yes, the script is a bit like Ukraine.
The U.S. scenario is that these opposition parties are "fighting for democracy and freedom," and today they support them, and tomorrow they will be "friends of democracy" who are aligned with American values.
But what happened next proved that the idea of the United States is very stupid and naïve! -- The rules of the game in the Middle East are not that "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", sometimes "the enemy of the enemy is still the enemy".
The United States is hostile to Syria**, and these oppositions are also hostile to Syria**, but do you think the opposition likes the United States because of this?
Wrong! Many of them are fundamentalists, and many of them have values that are incompatible with the "democracy and freedom" of the United States.
The army of the terrorist group "Islamic State" flexes its muscles on the streets of Syria.
What's worse is that these opposition factions funded by the United States are stragglers, unorganized and undisciplined, and have no "common program",* and they may be lost in a few days, or sold for money. Some of the ** just went into *** there.
So in the past two years, the U.S. military has been attacked many times in the Middle East, and they are embarrassed to find: Eh, how can you attack the ** of the US military, often the ** of the US military?
As a result, the war-torn Syria, the flooded **, the displaced people who lost everything, and the US garrison that messed with things ......Isn't this a proper hotbed of terrorism?
A more brutal ** version of the terrorist organization than bin Laden's al-Qaeda, the "Islamic State", ISIS, actually announced the "founding of the country" in a high-profile manner this year! The whole world has not yet come to its senses, and this terrorist organization has quickly occupied a large area of land in Syria and Iraq.
The Islamic State "occupies large swathes of land in Syria and Iraq.
At that time, there was just 4G, this ISIS, who actually understands the Internet very well, not only does all the bad things, but also plays live broadcast!
Live content, including but not limited to torture and killing the living, burning prisoners of war, beheading hostages, buying and selling sex slaves, ......Those pictures are too bloody, I won't be on them, and I won't be able to pass the trial if they do.
The people of Syria have suffered, and countless people have become refugees and poured into Europe in order to survive.
At this time, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, a proper first sister of the European Union, was very tough and said that she would not let refugees into Europe! - Obviously, the Heart of Mary can let refugees in, but it cannot provide them with jobs and proper housing, which is a factor that adds to the social instability of Europe.
Why does the United States have to wipe its ass on the refugee issue after the United States has finished tossing and turning in the Middle East? What about using Europe as an aunt's towel?
But this is 2014, don't forget, Aunt Mo is being monitored by the United States, and European people are also swiping Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social networks controlled by the United States**.
In 2015, Merkel faced pressure from all sides, couldn't hold on, suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and accepted all refugees with open arms! Why? We'll talk about it in the next one.
First of all, a hint: part of the reason is this hit**.
What China is doing is certainly not as stimulating as the United States and the European Union, and it is very earthy and specific
In June 2014, China and Arab countries officially announced the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", and it was very specific, called the "1+2+3" pattern
The first is to take energy cooperation as the main axis - let's buy more oil;
2. It is to take infrastructure, investment facilitation and investment facilitation as two wings - we build bridges and roads, sell goods to make money;
The third is to take nuclear energy, aerospace satellites, and new energy as the three breakthroughs - let's help them generate electricity, launch rockets, and engage in environmental protection;
In the same year, the political situation in Egypt has stabilized after the overthrow of Mubarak in the "Arab Spring", and Egypt's Sisi visited China and signed the second phase of the Sino-Egypt Suez Economic Zone cooperation project, which is the "Belt and Road" on the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.
I know, you might be tempted to say, this is also too diplomatic, too official.
You must know that the reason why everyone doesn't like to listen to many official statements is not because it is official, but because it is a mere formality and has not been implemented! An official statement that can be implemented 100% is better than anything else. This kind of official statement, for the people, the more comes, the better.
Manually split again!!
Well, there are too many words!
If you still don't dislike this, please help me and support me a lot.
