In the past few days, this year's Munich Security Conference in Germany has finally come to an end. Although this stage of "great power diplomacy" has attracted the participation of many forces. But even the most optimistic participants have to admit that the stability and prosperity of the post-Cold War era have disappeared. The turmoil brought about by the shift from a unipolar world to a multipolar world has impacted the existing international order. However, although the overall trend is not optimistic, Germany, as the host, has made a "big fun" in this session.
If we want to talk about this matter, we have to start with the fact that in March last year, China unleashed a geopolitical "killer move". At that time, China successfully brokered the "great reconciliation" of the Islamic world in the Middle East, which caused a global sensation. The handshake between Saudi Arabia and Iran has become an incomprehensible product of Western "monotheistic" thinking.
Then, this matter was indiscriminately bombed by the West in the Middle East all year round, and the superficial understanding was that China was to convince people with "force". So, in May last year, the Americans also tried to copy the Chinese homework. If China can't, why can't the United States? Then, pull Azerbaijan and Armenia and engage in rapprochement. How to say it, judging from the scene, the three countries have put on the same pose as China, Saudi Arabia and Iran. But as a result, Blinken smiled reluctantly, and the other two looked bitter and hateful.
Then, the time came for this year's Munich Security Conference, and as hosts, the Germans also seemed to want to show their "strength". If China can't, why can't Germany? Then, again, Azerbaijan and Armenia were pulled. And this meeting has become the most embarrassing moment in this Munich conference.
Well, how to put it. The last time I posed, the leader was the US Secretary of State, and the foreign ministers of the two countries were brought in. But this time, the leader was the German chancellor, and the leaders of the two countries were brought in. The latter does not buy German accounts at all. To what extent? In general, international cooperation and meetings are courtesy, and the practice is to take group photos. Usually it doesn't take 1 minute, and it's over. But this time, Germany didn't get it done in a few minutes. The reason is that Scholz stood in the middle, stretched out his hand, thinking that everyone would hold hands together and express a cooperative attitude. As a result, Azerbaijan ignored it, and Armenia tilted its head to look at the other side. The scene was quite awkward at one point. Scholz's hands were stiff, there was no way, and finally he shook hands with himself, and he came to a nondescript **.
In fact, this matter also carries a little bit of the arrogance of Western politicians. Because in essence, it is simply dismissive to understand the actual geopolitical situation on the ground. China's ability to broker reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran is due to the fact that both Saudi Arabia and Iran have the political and interest needs to reconcile. The Middle East, in which the West has been involved for a long time, does not meet the needs of these major indigenous countries. China, as a "new player", led by China, is also in line with the needs of Middle Eastern countries. Coupled with China's efforts, there was a "great reconciliation" that caused a sensation around the world.
And Azerbaijan and Armenia, the border conflict has not stopped in recent years, and the border contradictions and political needs of both sides. Historical contradictions, there are conflicts. China is too lazy to touch this place, and it has not understood the underlying logic of China's "homework" at all, and it is ridiculous that the two Western powers actually think that they can solve it with their own mouths.
