“By getting rid of the haze of the Cold War, the Asia-Pacific region, especially the small and medium-sized economies, has fast-tracked to modernization, and the ‘Asia-Pacific Miracle’ was born. The Pacific region does not it is no man’s backyard and should not become an arena for great powers.Any “new” people will not accept the Cold War conspiracy and the times will not allow it!
Xi Jinping described the current situation in the Asia-Pacific region in less than 100 words. The key word is “new cold war”. The reality is that the ideological dispute between the United States and the Soviet Union in the last century has come to an end. The economic prosperity of Asia driven by globalization, therefore, all members of the Asia-Pacific region today are unwilling to introduce a new Cold War – the words clearly indicate it, the United States, which thinks it is good at engaging in geopolitics , they should not try to lead The place seeking development has become a field of struggle with China, and the deafening two sentences: “The people will not agree and the times will not allow!”
Xi Jinping attended the G20 summit held in Bali, Indonesia from November 14 to 17. Subsequently, Xi Jinping traveled to Thailand to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit to be held from November 17 to 19. The BBC reported in a relaxed tone: “If you went to a party, how many people would you chat with?” Xi Jinping’s response, 11. “According to the announcement of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during the G20 summit, Chinese leaders held bilateral talks with the leaders of 11 countries in three days, and there was also a secretary General of the United Nations”.
The list is as follows: “The 11 countries include the United States, France, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Argentina, Senegal, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia and Italy. On the second day after the end of the G20, Xi Jinping is flew to Thailand to attend the APEC summit and immediately met with Japan, Singapore, the leaders of the three countries of the Philippines.” In the afternoon, Xi Jinping met with Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal in Bangkok.
The United States has two cards in APEC: the South China Sea sovereignty dispute and the Taiwan Strait issue, but what leverage do they have? This is embarrassing. US President Biden has only “democracy” in his pocket. On December 9, 2021, the United States will host the first “Democracy Summit” with 110 national and regional leaders, civil society organizations, etc., while China and Russia are excluded.
The New York Times went to great lengths to publicize the conference, and could not hide the lack of a summit: “There are many risks in describing the (current) challenge in these terms (the old Cold War rhetoric of ‘ democracy versus autocracy.’) First, it is embarrassing that many countries that must recognize the democratic alliance have been challenged in the form of democracy in recent years, starting with the United States itself. Few corners of the world are immune from the erosion of norms In that case, India, the Philippines and Poland, which have been criticized as “undemocratic and free,” all became members of the summit.
The “New York Times” is self-explanatory at the end of the article: “Democracy is not perfect. But for now it is enough.” What is enough is enough in the United States, and will be used in the Asia-Pacific region, the center of future economic and technological development in the world. The United States is far from having the capital and the call to engage in the “Cold War 2.0” in Biden’s mind to face China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, even Japan , South Korea and India. It will not be as active as Germany, the UK, Switzerland and other Western European countries. “De-Sinicization”, the Asia-Pacific region does not need the “US Chip Act”, and is even less willing to choose sides in the Sino-US technology war.
Biden may have the foresight to attend the APEC summit represented by Vice President He Jinli. Biden’s excuse is to return to the United States to attend his granddaughter’s wedding. Come. The US has now overtaken the UK as an international “troubleshooter”. I’m sorry, but forgive me for using more civilized words to replace the indecent description. It’s like you do a good deed every day and are kind to others.
