At the security talks in Munich, Blinken openly talked about Sino-US relations and bluntly said: "In this world, there is a party with me, one side with me, and one side with me," which has set off huge waves around the world.
First, let's analyze this Blinken statement. The subtext of this sentence is: if you are not on the side of the United States, then you will be attacked by the United States. So red|The naked intimidation reminded everyone of the cruel fact that the law of the jungle is the strong. But why is the United States so bold in proposing such a threat?
In fact, the answer to this question is obvious. In recent years, with the changes in the global pattern, the international community, represented by the United States, dominated by Europe and the United States, is in turmoil! With the penetration of emerging powers around the world and the acceleration of the trend of global multipolarization, the United States, as the leader, is feeling unprecedented pressure.
In the past two years, the United States has suffered three consecutive fiascos, which have completely torn off the mask of the "gentleman" of the United States and exposed its true face as a "predator." First of all, the dispute between Russia and Ukraine, the United States originally wanted to use it to reduce Russia's influence in Europe, but the West contributed to this issue, not the Western world did not react to it. And when the West imposes full-scale sanctions on Russia, it is rare for non-Western countries to do so. This creates a situation in which Russia is getting stronger and Europe is getting weaker!
Second, the Palestinian-Israeli dispute, the United States hoped that Israel would soon be able to solve the problem, but in fact, the Palestinian-Israeli contradictions are getting more and more intense, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is getting worse and worse, and Israel's prestige is getting worse day by day, and the United States, as a supporter of Israel, will also suffer a greater blow! The contradictions between Palestine and Israel have made the situation in the Red Sea even more severe, and under the joint attack of the United States and Britain, the Houthis have finally torn the United States' camouflage to shreds.
In the Indo-Pacific region, the United States is trying to put pressure on China through the hands of the Philippines, and at the same time provoke disputes in the South China Sea! However, the Philippines is a bit hard-mouthed, and other ASEAN countries, such as the Philippines, which has had disputes with China in the South China Sea, will not follow the United States and the Philippines in order to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
From the three failures, we can see a commonality: the influence of the United States is weakening, and the influence of China is increasing. Such a development trend has made the United States a little anxious. That's why Blinken made such a threat at the security conference in Munich, and he wanted to use his strength to pull the United States back.
But will Blinken's intimidation work? Of course not. After all, today's world pattern is no longer the era when the United States dominated the world. Each country has its own interests and will not be swayed by US intimidation. What they pay more attention to is how to protect their own rights and interests, and how to gain a foothold in this ever-changing society! [Paper airplanes].
