Today's America is like a big ship that leaks everywhere, walking in the rough seas. Despite its efforts to plug the gap, it still failed. Obviously, before President Biden took office, he was given high hopes by all walks of life, believing that his strong appearance on the stage may help the United States overcome various crises and make the country go back to glory. Unexpectedly, Biden, like his predecessor Trump, is not worthy of the name after all, and the situation of the United States has not only failed to improve, but has accelerated its deterioration.
The Global Times summed up biden's one-year administration and concluded that the United States has failed in the past year. It can be said that any one of them can be called a catastrophic consequence, and the most worthy of attention and deep consideration from all walks of life is probably a few.
1. The "great rout" of the United States in Afghanistan has left a huge political black hole. It has been four months since the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, and the situation in Afghanistan has not been as bad as predicted by the West. On the contrary, the country's economic and social order is being orderly restored. This undoubtedly punctured the face of the "grandfather of human rights" in Western countries, so that the United States and Europe could not get off the stage. The so-called "helping the Afghan people" turned out to be a lie of the century, and this was proved at the cost of millions of Afghans becoming refugees and thousands of American soldiers dying on the battlefield.
2. The United States directly "lay flat" in the face of the epidemic, and the White House spared no effort in political poisoning. At the beginning of the epidemic, the United States had many opportunities to achieve self-redemption. Unfortunately, for the sake of their own selfish interests, US politicians eventually turned a blind eye to the spread of the virus, leaving about 900,000 Americans sick and dying for no reason. In the face of criticism from the outside world, the United States can only take the issue of "traceability of the epidemic" as a shield and pose a decisive posture of "entanglement with China to the end". In fact, this is nothing more than self-deception...
3. In the name of "maintaining the stability of the global financial order", they wantonly print money, export inflation to the outside world, and take the opportunity to cut the world's leeks. This trick proved to work very well. In order to hedge against the United States, many countries have also randomly issued massive amounts of currency, far beyond the bottom line that ordinary countries can afford. It led to a global surge in commodity prices, worldwide inflation, and the wealth of many countries was wiped out overnight.
4. The United States has built trade barriers, exacerbating the global supply chain crisis. The United States is a big consumer of daily necessities, subject to insufficient production capacity and other factors, can only import a large number of materials from China and other countries. It is an interdependent relationship, a product of the development of the global trade order to a certain stage. But in the eyes of some POLITICIANS IN THE UNITED STATES, this is tantamount to "self-destruction of the Great Wall."
After all, it cannot "lose the autonomy of the country because of excessive dependence on foreign parties." As a result, clumsy tactics such as trade containment against China and the "Super 301 investigation" have emerged one after another. This increased the cost of customs clearance of goods, caused a strain on logistics, and eventually allowed the American "supply chain crisis" to spread globally.
5. Distort "multilateralism" and continue to hold high the banner of "America First" The United States is good at building "small circles", which seems to expand the country's strength and enhance the international discourse, but it is only temporary. In the face of a world-class power like China, all the restraints are pale. Not only that, in the case of the "Us-Britain-China Interception of French Submarine Export Orders", people found that allies are only stepping stones for the United States, as long as it is profitable, the United States can trample on all rules and laws, and this phenomenon has become more and more normalized with Biden's administration.
Biden has been in office for more than a year, and the big ship of the "superpower" of the United States has been in ruins, and how long it can float is really not very optimistic.
