On January 4, 2024, the Maldives** Muiz spoke out again, demanding the immediate withdrawal of Indian troops from the Maldives. This statement has attracted widespread attention and further exacerbated the unstable situation in the Asian region.
The Maldives' voice by Moiz means that India's military presence is seen as a disregard for the country's democratic will. Muiz had put forward the idea of withdrawing Indian troops from the Maldives during 2023*** and put pressure on India several times since taking office. Although in December 2023, Moiz announced that Modi had agreed to withdraw troops from the Maldives, but now he has called out India again, indicating that India's withdrawal is progressing slowly or non-existently, triggering an urgent urge from the Maldives.
The reason behind this may be that India regards the Maldives as its "satellite state" and uses its special geographical location to expand its military presence on the Indian Ocean coast. In addition, Western countries, especially the United States, have been pushing for a "pivot to the Asia-Pacific" strategy and wooing India, which may have strengthened India's self-confidence and brought more military ambitions. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that the United States and other Western countries will exert influence in it, causing Modi to regret his reluctance to withdraw his troops. In the face of the Maldives' "eviction order", we will wait and see how Modi will respond.
At the beginning of 2024, South Korea suffered two consecutive blows from foreign media, which caused strong dissatisfaction and ** among the people. First of all, when CNN reported on the collision of two planes at Haneda Airport in Japan, it mistakenly used the cover of South Korea Airlines**, a mistake that triggered a bitter condemnation from the South Korean public, accusing CNN of clearly deliberately smearing Korean Airlines and demanding a public apology. However, so far, CNN and others have not responded in any way, which has further fueled the anger of the population. At the same time, on a French television program, a false South Korean flag** was broadcast, which caused ** and discontent among the South Korean people**. South Korea's *** also raised the "strongly**" to the TV station after the incident, France** admitted the mistake and deleted the relevant **.
These two incidents highlight the different reactions of South Korea** in the face of France and the United States**. Yoon Suk-yeol has made a series of concessions and compromises in relations with Japan and the United States, which has caused dissatisfaction among the people. Previously, South Korea's bid to host the 2023 World Expo failed, and Yoon Suk-yeol also gave more than 150 heads of state around the world a beating**, but the results were not satisfactory. These incidents have not only affected and dealt a blow to South Korea's international image, but also made people rethink Yoon Suk-yeol**'s policy direction and international role.
The turmoil in Asia continues in 2024, with Maldives** Muiz demanding the withdrawal of Indian troops from the Maldives, sparking tensions between India and the Maldives. At the same time, in South Korea, it has been hit by foreign media twice in a row, which has aroused public anger and **, and questioned Yoon Suk-yeol**'s policy and diplomatic orientation. In this era of change, Asian countries need to examine their positions and choices in order to cope with an uncertain future.
