With the continuous development of the world economy, human pursuit has gradually risen from material conditions to spiritual level, and more and more people like to pursue high-level enjoyment. In particular, tourism has gradually developed in this environment. As a country with a large population, China naturally pursues tourism. For this reason, many countries also welcome Chinese to consume.
Based on this situation, China is also willing to support some countries with rich tourism conditions. But a small country, after receiving $100,000 in aid from China, turned its back, took the initiative to curry favor with Japan, and grounded Chinese flights. But their dream did not come true, after all, how can a small country like Japan support such a burden?
And this country is a small and inconspicuous country, Palau
Development of the small country of Palau
Palau's small country has a rocky history. A long time ago, they did not even have their own independent power, but were sold around as a "commodity" and reduced to playthings of hegemonic countries.
The reason why I say this is because the country was discovered since the 18th family, and since then it has been occupied by Spain, Germany, the United States, and Japan like a commodity. And it was not until the twentieth century that Palau acquired its own sovereignty through the United Nations.
Had it not been for these political factors, Palau might have fared better. Because the geographical location and climatic conditions of this small country are very good, and there are abundant resources waiting to be developed.
Palau is located in the Caroline Islands, close to the Pacific Ocean, so it is rich in marine resources and fisheries. Tuna, in particular, is one of Palau's abundant fisheries. In addition, because it has a tropical climate, tropical fruit production is also high, the only drawback is that the grain production is low, and it is not self-sufficient.
But they are supported by tourism, which is Palau's largest economic development system. After construction and development, tourism brings in almost half of the country's gross domestic product. Because it is backed by such a large ocean system as the Pacific Ocean, it can bring rich conditions for development.
But since the start of the pandemic, tourism has been hit hard in every country, and Palau is no different. As a major industry in a country, after being hit by the epidemic, the entire country's economy has gradually pulled its crotch. But there is also part of the reason for Palau's economic lag.
The main reason for this is the dispute between Palau and China.
China came to the aid but was tragically betrayed
In fact, China is a great help to Palau, after all, this is a country with great development value. If Palau's resources can be exploited, tourism alone will bring huge profits to it. That's why Chinese developers have repeatedly built Palau's economy. After all, tropical countries are still rich in resources and suitable for tourism development.
After development, Palau's economic development is obviously much better than before, because a large number of tourists come to spend, especially Chinese tourists, which is an important driving force for the development of Palau's tourism industry. It can be said that Palau's later development is mostly due to China.
With the development of China, their geographical location, climate and resources were fully utilized, and tourism gradually developed. Moreover, during Palau's economic difficulties, China also provided humanitarian aid to Palau, providing them with $100,000 in construction costs to restore the economy. For such a small country, this is already a huge amount of money. But Palau doesn't seem to be satisfied.
Palau didn't realize that it was China that gave them an olive branch and that it was Chinese tourists who drove their economy. Most importantly, at the critical moment, China stepped forward to help them resolve the crisis. Palau, however, turned its back on the people. They rely on China for development, but they have personally broken off cooperation with China.
Currying favor with Japan's final end
Not long ago, Palau did something very infuriating. Because they want to curry favor with Japan and want to get more rights from Japan. To this end, they voluntarily suspended flights to China, limiting Chinese to consumption. This is undoubtedly to deny the opportunity to develop the economy, but also to block the way of their own development.
This means that no matter how many Chinese there are, they cannot go to Palau to spend. And in doing so, they are brazenly welcoming visitors from any country except China, especially Japan. But Japan is not a fool, Palau can betray China for the sake of profit, and naturally it will also be able to betray Japan in the future. As a result, Palau did not gain more rights in Japan.
Coupled with the onset of the pandemic, the world economy has been hit hard, and almost no country has been spared. A country like Palau, whose economy is simply based on tourism, has little extra income at such junctures. So they hope that Japan, like China, will provide them with $100,000 in economic investment to build.
However, Japan rejected the request. Because at the time of the epidemic, Japan did not strictly prevent the epidemic at all, so the number of infected people was large, and most of the funds were used for medical investment and the production of epidemic prevention supplies. Where is there extra money to assist a small country. So Palau didn't get what it was wanted here.
What is called lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot, letting China such a "gold-lord" country not flatter well, but to be Japan's "subject", this kind of mysterious operation, only this kind of far-sighted effect can be done.
Now, even if China's economy is recovering, it will not be helping such an ungrateful country, because they do not know how to be grateful and may even stab China in the future. In the face of such ungrateful behavior, China will naturally no longer condone it.
However, Palau should not have developed further, after all, the Japanese that he wanted to curry favor with did not help them much. I don't know if Palau will regret it when I think of my original decision.
epilogue
After the pandemic, almost most of the country's economies have been hit hard, and now they are stepping up their recovery phase. Many countries with developed tourism are very welcoming to Chinese, which is enough to show how tall China's image is. But in the face of such an ungrateful country, China will definitely not hold back.
