In this world, there are many unexpected and unexpected things, and even though 2021 has ended and 2022 has just begun, the international situation is still full of variables.
At least 5 such things are worth noting and are closely related to China, the United States, Japan and South Korea.
First, the United States suffered a catastrophe. With the spread of mutated strains, the epidemic situation in the United States has become out of control, and the number of new confirmed cases in a single day has exceeded 500,000 for many consecutive days, not to mention, the detection reagents are still seriously insufficient.
At this rate, in time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the United States will exceed 60 million.
Biden didn't have time to grieve because there were so many worries in the United States.
On January 1, the New York Times revealed that a few days ago, a sudden fire broke out in Colorado, the United States, and the sudden wildfire "Marshall" actually burned 6200 acres of land in the United States.
Biden pledged to help Colorado in any way he could, including additional personnel, fighting the fires, and supplies to Americans there.
Meanwhile, Biden declared that Colorado was in a state of major catastrophe.
Counting, in the past month, the United States has not had any few disasters, such as 100 earthquakes off the waters of Oregon, the super tornado that hit 6 states and killed more than 80 Americans, and the blizzard that fell.
In this way, the United States has experienced earthquakes, tornadoes, heavy snow, fires and other major disasters, in addition, the second largest American oil refinery in Texas, was suddenly bombed in the middle of the night.
It can be seen that in the face of nature, even if it is as strong as the United States, it is very small and powerless, and human beings should indeed live in harmony with nature.
Of course, the United States can also think differently and understand the living conditions of Syrian refugees, after all, the affected Americans only need to experience short-term pain, but Middle Eastern refugees have to repeat the painful life of "looking at the head".
The United States may never understand this truth, such as not doing unto others.
Second, the Solomon Islands thank China. The first batch of explosion-proof materials for China's assistance to the Solomon Islands has been received, and the Solomon Islands expresses its heartfelt thanks for this, and stresses how important it is for china to send charcoal in the snow.
Compared with the Unscrupulous Australian Military and Police who left the Solomon Islands with bad intentions, China's assistance is obviously more popular.
The third thing, in 2022, China and Russia will go global together. In the first 11 months of 2021, the trade volume between China and Russia reached 130.4 billion US dollars, more than the total trade volume in 2020, an increase of 33.6% year-on-year.
Next, China and Russia will launch an impact on the annual trade volume of 200 billion US dollars, and this goal will be achieved in the near future with the continuous deepening of cooperation between China and Russia.
Fourth, German Foreign Minister Berberk was warned by German companies. The German general election has come to an end, but at the moment, because of the joint formation of the SPD, the Green Party and the Liberal Democratic Party, German Chancellor Scholz does not have enough say.
For example, the Heavyweight of the Green Party, German Foreign Minister Berberk, did not less oppose Scholz. In terms of China strategy, Scholz advocates continuing Merkel's plan, that is, "positive and pragmatic", rather than "the United States will do whatever it wants".
The problem is that Belburk does not think so, whether it is for China or Russia, Belburk is more inclined to "embrace the United States." At the G7 summit, Berberk even said that Germany and the European Union should be tough on China.
The impulsive Berberk was not supported by German companies. Many German companies believe that under the cold winter of the global economy, Germany should strengthen cooperation with China for mutual benefit and win-win results, rather than decoupling and moving toward confrontation. Otherwise, the interests of German companies in China would be harmed.
Schroeder and Merkel have repeatedly stressed that it is in Germany's interest to have good relations with China, and whether it is to control the epidemic, deal with global climate change, or enhance economic strength, Germany must maintain friendly exchanges with China.
Belberg was good, as Germany's foreign minister, but he often spoke out for the interests of the United States, how could he not cause public outrage?
The condemnation of Belberg by German companies and people means that there are not many discerning people in Germany.
The us politicians' attempt to fan the flames and encourage Germany to exert pressure on China is simply delusional.
Fifth, South Korea warned Japan. South Korea's Foreign Ministry said that during World War II, Japan did not hesitate to forcibly recruit laborers in South Korea, and now it is time for Japan to formally apologize and compensate South Korea.
The Japanese media believe that South Korea continues to repeat the same old tune, obviously in order to warn and knock Japan, and South Korea has taken another step closer to Japan's red line.
Over the years, because Japan refused to admit the crimes of World War II, refused to compensate South Korea for losses, insisted on discharging nuclear sewage into the sea, and included the territory actually controlled by South Korea in Japan's territory, South Korea really did not show its sword to Japan, but the United States has been taking the lead for Japan.
Judging from Japan's continuous move closer to the United States, Britain, and Australia, and Abe's successive wild remarks, Japan's ambitions have been clearly revealed. If the United States blindly condones Japan, it will eventually pay a heavy price because of the "return of the tiger to the mountain."
Those who play with fire will set themselves on fire, and what to do next, the United States should think twice.
All we can do is to continue to maintain our concentration, enhance our strength, and stride towards the world.
