A very impressive sight. At the G20 summit in Rio, Brazil, leaders took a “family photo”, but everyone eventually found out that US President Biden was missing. Don’t forget, the G20 Summit is arguably the most important summit in the world.
This article was given permission to be reprinted by “Niu Danqin”, a famous public WeChat account in the mainland founded by Liu Hong, a reporter from “Xinhua News Agency” and former deputy editor -head of “Global Daily”.
“Where’s Biden?” Many media are asking.
I saw someone on social media abroad jokingly say:
G20 family photo, guest Brazilian President Lula standing in the center, flanked by Indian Prime Minister Modi, South African leader Ramaphosa, Chinese leaders and Turkish President Erdogan.
In the second row are French President Macron and German Chancellor Scholz.
Biden was late and everyone decided not to wait for him!
Welcome to the multidimensional world!
It’s dramatic, but it’s also a symbolic scene.
This time, Biden was very late.
According to Western media reports, Biden went to a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau “.
The Associated Press reported that when they rushed to the scene, they found that the “family photo” had been taken, and Biden and Trudeau, who were “late to arrive,” stood there and watched for a while .
Oh, Italian Prime Minister Meloni was also late and stood aside for a while. In the end, Biden put his arm around Meloni’s shoulders and left …
Well, it’s as embarrassing as it is disappointing, and it’s as embarrassing as it is embarrassing.
If it was in the past, and the President of the United States was late, everyone might have to wait a little longer. After all, the whole world knows that the United States is amazing.
As for the G20 Summit in Rio, Biden and Trudeau were too late and not everyone could wait; or everyone felt that they had already waited a while and there was no need to wait any longer.
Of course, the explanation from US officials was that this was a “logistical issue” and that your “family photo” was taken too soon and that Biden was still on the road before he arrived.
In short, it’s the reason you took pictures at the wrong time, and even if you didn’t, it’s the reason you’re stuck in traffic.
This reminds me of the APEC meeting in Lima, Peru a few days ago. At the end, the leaders took a “family photo”, which was a wonderful sight.
After the “family photo” was taken, everyone looked left and right and found that one person was still missing.
WHO?
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.
This is the first time that Shigeru Ishiba participated in APEC, and he was not present from such an important photo opportunity.
The explanation of Japanese officials is that Shigeru Ishiba went to the outskirts of Lima that day to express his condolences to the former Japanese-Peruvian President Fujimori. Suddenly, he encountered bad traffic on the way back the image failed to capture.
If it’s Ishiba’s first time, he doesn’t have much experience; but Biden is a soldier, but he made a smart mistake in the last G20 group photo.
I don’t know what to say?
This may be a very catastrophic mistake, but there is no inevitability behind the ongoing opportunity.
Why are the leaders of other countries, especially those with emerging powers, present? Why are the leaders of the United States, Canada, and Japan the latecomers?
Americans are late, and have been late for so long, so the world doesn’t have to wait any longer.
The world has indeed changed.

**To what extent do these absences signify a genuine shift in global power dynamics, or are they merely isolated incidents with exaggerated symbolic significance?**
## Missing Presidents: A New World Order?
**Welcome to World Today News. Today we’re discussing the recent G20 summit and two high-profile absences in group photos. We’re joined by Dr. Emily Carter, an expert on international relations and Professor John Smith, a sociologist specializing in global power dynamics. Welcome both.**
**Act 1: A Symbol of Change?**
**Host:** The article highlights both President Biden and Prime Minister Ishiba being absent for crucial group photos at significant summits. Dr. Carter, what are your thoughts on the symbolism of these missed moments, particularly regarding Biden’s absence from the G20 photo?
**Dr. Carter:** (Response should highlight the changing global landscape and the waning dominance of traditional Western powers.)
**Host:** Professor Smith, how do you think these occurrences might be interpreted by other world leaders, especially those from emerging economies? Do these events signal a shift in global power dynamics?
**Professor Smith:** (Response should explore the potential for these events to be seen as a sign of US decline and the rise of alternative centers of power.)
**Act 2: Domestic vs international implications:**
**Host:** There are differing explanations for these absences: logistical issues for Biden and a traffic jam for Ishiba. Dr. Carter, to what extent do these explanations hold water and how might they be perceived by the international community?
**Dr. Carter:** (Response could delve into the credibility of these explanations and the potential for distrust or mockery amongst other nations.)
**Host:** Professor Smith, turning inwards for a moment. How might these incidents be perceived domestically within the US and Japan? Could they potentially have repercussions on public opinion or the political landscape?
**Professor Smith:** (Response could examine potential domestic ramifications, including public disapproval, increased pressure on the leaders, and questions about competence.)
**Act 3: The Bigger Picture:**
**Host:** This incident has sparked discussion about a multi-dimensional world. Dr. Carter, what are your thoughts on this concept and how these events might be contributing to a more complex and less predictable international landscape?
**Dr. Carter:** (Response should elaborate on the interconnectedness of global issues, the rise of regional powers, and the decline of traditional power structures.)
**Host:** Professor Smith, as we look ahead, what are the potential long-term consequences of these shifts in power dynamics? What will a multi-dimensional world look like in the coming decades?
** Professor Smith:** (Response could discuss potential future scenarios such as increased tensions, the fragmentation of international institutions, and struggles for leadership.)
**Conclusion:**
**Host:** Thank you both for providing your insights on this fascinating topic. As we grapple with a changing world order, keeping a close eye on these seemingly minor incidents becomes increasingly crucial for understanding the bigger picture, don’t you agree?
**(Both Guests Conclude with their own closing thoughts, wrapping up the discussion and leaving the audience with food for thought.)**
Let me know if you would like me to elaborate on any of the guest’s responses or explore other angles to the discussion.
