The United States has formed gangs all over the world in an attempt to exclude China from the world system in a vain attempt to establish a world hegemonic system with the United States at its core. And in the world, it continues to smear China, and at the same time provokes some countries to provoke China's bottom line in a vain attempt to curb China's development. The United States held a hypocritical summit of 110 countries, taking the opportunity to introduce so-called international policies and attempt to plunder the assets of many individual countries in the United States. All the United States has done is to frantically suppress competitors and establish Us unipolar world hegemony.
However, we cannot allow the United States to allow everything that the United States has deliberately done against China, let alone allow the United States to act recklessly. In recent days, China's diplomacy has ushered in a new year's breakthrough, this is really you hit you, I hit mine, China's breakthrough is in the Middle East. At the invitation of our Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, as well as the Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, arrived in China on 10 January 2022 to begin their five-day visit. Some insiders speculate that China is trying to create opportunities to achieve a pegging of the renminbi to oil.
On the 10th and 11th, Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal and Bahraini Foreign Minister Zayeni in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. The foreign ministers of Kuwait and Oman, as well as the secretary-general of the GCC, will hold talks on issues of greatest concern to China and the GCC members. In addition to industry speculation that the issue of the pegging of the renminbi to oil will be discussed, it will also involve the establishment of a free trade zone between China and the GCC. And these two major strategic issues will be the top priority for China to break the situation, after all, the crazy containment of the United States is also doomed to China can not sit still.
Let's start with the issue of China's establishment of a free trade area with the GCC and see why it is the top priority in breaking the US containment. On January 1, 2022, RCEP has been launched, which means that the world's largest free trade area with China as the core has been opened. However, such a region is also limited to the Asia-Pacific region, which is obviously only the first step to crack the global containment of the United States. If a second regional free trade or a third and fourth regional free trade is opened outside of the RCEP, it means that the global containment established by the United States will be completely bankrupt.
Originally, the China-EU trade and investment protection agreement was about to land, but it did not think that the United States was behind it, and finally instigated the European Parliament to shelve the passage of the resolution. This has also constrained China's trade with Europe, so China can only seek other free trade areas to advance as soon as possible. Obviously, the Middle East, which is relatively close to China, has become a relatively easy trade springboard. On December 30, 2021, foreign minister Wang Yi mentioned in an interview with the media that China's diplomatic work in 2022 was "to reach a free trade arrangement for China's GCC as soon as possible".
In fact, as early as July 2004, China and the Sea first proposed a free trade zone, and then the twists and turns continued, and finally on January 19, 2016, China and the GCC completed the "substantive end of trade negotiations". However, the international situation has changed, which has also made the promotion of the free trade zone have been shelved many times. Today, if we can quickly promote the implementation of the two-way free trade area, this is obviously crucial for us to take the second step. Once the trade zone can be completed, then combined with RCEP, the entire Asian economic map is only one piece of South Asia. Isolated India will seek to join the RCEP as soon as possible, and Asia as a whole will gradually become a new regional economic union.
On the other hand, the pegging of the renminbi to oil will further promote the process of internationalization of the renminbi and breaking the hegemony of the dollar. China ranks first in the world's oil imports, while Saudi Arabia has been the largest source of oil imports in China for many years, and Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait among the GCC members are ranked in the top ten of China's total oil import sources. All this dooms China to long-term cooperation with GCC members in the field of oil trade, because the US dollar is the oil settlement currency of both sides, and the fluctuation of its exchange rate also benefits both sides.
If we can promote the establishment of a "oil for materials" free trade mechanism or use "oil yuan" for settlement, it will be a good thing for both sides of china and the sea. In 2016, the Shanghai RMB Oil Futures Exchange has been established, and if more and more oil exporters can participate in it, it is bound to promote the scale of RMB oil futures. The settlement of the renminbi and oil will further increase the share, which will naturally help to break the dollar oil system. Once a comprehensive pegging of the renminbi and oil is formed, then the renminbi global trade settlement system will go global.
Moreover, Russia has also announced that it will explore a new monetary settlement system with China, so as to get away from the SWAY system controlled by the US dollar, so that the exploitation of the world by the US dollar hegemony will be just around the corner. Obviously, the United States will not allow it to make military threats, but the fact that China and Russia can unite also means that militarily the United States will not dare to threaten either side. Assuming that China can be bolder militarily and provide military protection to more countries, it will certainly accelerate the pace of the internationalization of the renminbi, which is only a matter of foreign policy and national policy.
A more noteworthy piece of news is that the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that Turkish Foreign Minister Chavushoglu and Iranian Foreign Minister Abdullahyan will be invited to visit China on January 12 and 14, respectively. apparently. China began to invite almost all Middle Eastern countries to China, and such a move is obviously china's diplomatic focus in the new year. Turkey, the most powerful country in the Middle East, has had very bad relations with the United States in recent years. Turkey prefers to cooperate with China and supports China on many issues involving its national sovereignty. It is clear that strengthening the relationship between China and Turkey will inevitably accelerate the plan for the entire Middle East.
And the relationship between China and Iran is naturally needless to say, during the period of the United States' frenzied suppression of Iran, let alone now? Iranian Foreign Minister Abdullahyan said on the 11th before departure that the foreign minister would leave Tehran for China to "discuss various issues with his Chinese counterparts, one of which is a comprehensive plan for 25 years of cooperation between the two countries." It is clear that promoting strategic cooperation between the two countries is also crucial to upgrading Iran's economy and China's strategy in the Middle East. The two countries themselves have a deep friendship, and with China's increased influence in the Middle East, Iran will inevitably become China's top priority.
While the United States' strategy of encouraging Middle Eastern countries to "fight each other" and "play against each other" is becoming increasingly unpopular, China is uniting more and more Middle Eastern countries to develop their economies and alternative industries. It is clear that China's approach will become more and more popular, and the economic development strategies formulated by China and Middle Eastern countries will also receive more support. From the intensive visits of foreign ministers of Middle Eastern countries to China, it can be seen that China's breakthrough strategy has begun. Once a new strategic breakthrough is reached, the global strategic containment formulated by the United States will be completely destroyed. (The picture in this article comes from the network)
