The United States is playing hooliganism again, and the Chinese side is very angry.
According to the statement made by the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 28th, there is a sentence: "China expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this and has made solemn representations."
Strongly dissatisfied with what? Resolutely oppose what? What is the solemn negotiation?
It's the hooliganism incident in the United States. As the host of this year's APEC, the United States actually ignored the rules of black and white and did not allow our Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao to attend the conference in San Francisco.
It should be noted that the APEC rules are clearly written, and as APEC members who host the annual meeting, it is their responsibility to extend invitations to all APEC members 8 weeks before the leadership meeting.
Sending an invitation is both your responsibility and obligation as the host.
But unfortunately, when it's the turn of the United States to hold the event, something unexpected happened.
Interestingly, the attitude of the United States has been wavering.
On February 9th of this year, US Deputy Secretary of State Sherman confirmed in a statement to Congress that he would invite Li Jiachao to attend the APEC meeting. According to Sherman, Li Jiachao's attendance is important for promoting regional economic dialogue and joint efforts between China and the United States to maintain global macroeconomic stability.
But under the clamor of some anti China lawmakers, as disclosed by The Washington Post, the United States has decided not to invite Li Jiachao to attend the meeting.
The Washington Post also mentioned that at this time, the tense relationship between China and the United States is "slightly thawing", and this decision by the United States may further affect the direction of the relationship between the two countries.
The Chinese side is naturally strongly dissatisfied. Spokesperson Liu Pengyu of the Chinese Embassy in the United States responded that China "strongly opposes" the US plan not to invite Li Jiachao to attend the conference, which "violates APEC rules and also violates US commitments.".
At the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on July 28th, spokesperson Mao Ning also stated that it is well known that the host of APEC has the responsibility and obligation to ensure the smooth participation of all member representatives. This move by the US side is a blatant violation of APEC rules and a serious violation of the US commitments. The Chinese side expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this and has made solemn representations.
Where are the rules? Where is the promise?
But the United States is just playing hooligans.
This is certainly not the first time the United States has been playing hooliganism.
Don't forget, the United Nations headquarters is located in New York, USA. In April of this year, Russia took over as the rotating President of the Security Council, and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov went to New York to preside over the meeting. But according to Russia, the United States deliberately made things difficult until the Russian delegation boarded the plane and none of the accompanying Russian journalists obtained a visa to go to the United States.
Without a visa, I naturally cannot go to New York. So that time, the Russian Foreign Minister went to the United Nations to preside over a Security Council meeting and surprisingly did not bring a accompanying journalist.
Angered, Russia strongly protested to the United States. So much so that when asked if it was the right time to move the United Nations headquarters out of New York, Lavrov answered particularly bluntly, "I think that's great."
Is the United States only targeting Chinese and Russian officials?
Not really.
I remember two years ago, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Bensuda, announced that he would investigate war crimes suspicions against Americans. Due to various evidence, the US military and intelligence personnel were suspected of committing acts of torture, abuse, violation of personal dignity, rape, and sexual violence against detainees between 2003 and 2004
If we were to investigate the attitude of Russia and the United States, you would definitely know.
But now investigating the United States is a groundbreaking move by Tai Sui, and the United States is furious.
Poor female prosecutor from Bensuda, her visa was immediately revoked by the US government.
Moreover, the United States has announced comprehensive sanctions against Bensuda, and not only you, but also your family will not be able to come to the United States; Moreover, you are not allowed to use US dollars in the future; Anyone and organization who helps you will be sanctioned.
This brings another legal issue. What should we do if Bensuda wants to report to the United Nations?
I remember at that time, UN Secretary General Guterres was very anxious and expressed high concern for the incident, reminding the United States to abide by the agreement signed with the United Nations. The members of the International Criminal Court were allowed to travel to the UN headquarters in New York.
But if the United States says no, it won't, not only won't. I remember at that time, the US Attorney General also left a sentence: the International Criminal Court is too corrupt, and the US Department of Justice "has received credible evidence of long-term financial corruption and dereliction of duty from relevant prosecutor's offices." The US side expressed serious concern.
If you want to investigate the United States, we need to investigate you first!
What do you think in the end?
Let's stick to the rough three points.
Firstly, the United States has become accustomed to playing hooliganism.
What rules? What promise? For the United States, rules are set for you, and I can change my promise at will.
The reason is always convincing, it's all because the other party has problems. The United States wants to act on behalf of the heavens, and the United States wants sanctions.
Of course, the United States also knows that there are rules and regulations, but even if it's playing hooliganism, not to mention not giving visas, it's just delaying until you have no way to do it.
So, for Lavrov, the United States is still polite, otherwise, we won't even allow you to enter the country next time.
Also, what happened to the war crimes investigation into Americans in the end?
Let it go naturally. Because it's very simple, the judges and prosecutors of the International Criminal Court are also afraid. If we continue to investigate, everyone may be arrested by the United States and sent to jail
Secondly, what should the world do?
To be frank, there's no way. After all, the United States is the only superpower in the world, and many countries dare not speak up when the United States plays hooliganism.
China is definitely strongly dissatisfied and firmly opposed to rejecting Li Jiachao's participation in the conference, and will definitely make solemn representations. But will the United States correct its mistakes?
That really reminds me of America.
I always feel that the United States is a very complex country with many things worth learning from, and we must acknowledge this. But the fact that the United States is playing hooliganism is something that we can't learn without learning it.
No wonder, two years ago, after the "attack on Capitol Hill" incident in the United States, a Middle Eastern diplomat said in a faint voice: if the United States sees what it is doing to the United States, it will definitely invade the United States and liberate it from American tyranny.
Thirdly, the United Nations, you cannot be so weak.
To be frank, when it comes to the issue of hooliganism against the United States, the United Nations is too weak and the International Criminal Court is too weak. They have been bullied by the United States and dare not even express a strong protest.
Of course, the United Nations is also aggrieved, after all, in the American territory, it depends on the face of the Americans
But where is international morality? After all, the United Nations is not the United States' United Nations.
Also, the International Criminal Court, where is your waist? Have Americans committed war crimes or not?
This brings another question, if the United States continues to play like this, will we still have meetings in the United States in the future? Should the United Nations move from New York?
Anyway, Russia is definitely happy to see the United Nations move issue succeed. At least going to other countries will definitely not encounter such visa difficulties.
Where will we move to?
Finally, weakly ask: Is there any place in Xiong'an?
