A country with a land area less than one province in China dares to be undaunted by the P5 of the United Nations, easily deal with major powers such as the United States and China, and even provoke many times, and then get away with it on the international stage. After reading the above, do you feel like you are in the plot of a science fiction movie?
But the truth is, this country is real, and it is The Gambia. Perhaps most people are not familiar with The Gambia, but on the Internet, we often hear about the "Gambia, the first power in the universe". Why can this country be so "arrogant"? Have all these harsh words been fulfilled?
When it comes to which country is the strongest in reality, different people will have different opinions, which often leads to heated debate. However, when it comes to the strongest country in the cyber segment, there seems to be a consensus among all – the Gambia is the most powerful country in the world! Previously, few people knew about The Gambia, but since entering the 21st century, the country's popularity has gradually increased, especially in China, where it quickly became popular for its "too daring to say".
Under normal circumstances, in the face of China's internal affairs such as Taiwan, even the United States must intervene carefully and adopt a curved way to save the country. The Gambia, however, has acted tougher than the United States. More than a decade ago, when then US President Bush took office, the situation in the Taiwan Strait was even more tense than it is now, and although there were undercurrents surging behind it, it was relatively calm on the surface. To gain more leverage, the United States also tries to enlist the support of smaller countries that, while their influence on international affairs is limited, can at least prevent them from becoming allies of China. However, the United States never expected that the Gambia's reaction would be so unpredictable. They believe that the United States received their visit because it saw the strength of the Gambia and wanted to win the support of the Gambia. Therefore, they did not hesitate to reveal their ambitions: "The Gambian navy is strong enough to control the Chinese coast when the situation changes." "However, the truth is that at that time, the Gambian Navy had less than a hundred people in service. This obviously provocative statement is almost tantamount to a declaration of war, but the Gambia dares to say that the United States can only choose to ignore it, so this seemingly honest act of "showing loyalty" is not stopped.
The incident made Chinese netizens widely aware of The Gambia, and the sentiment towards the Gambia was mostly angry online, especially after discovering that this was not the first time they had pointed fingers at China. In the last century, the Gambia and China did not have any intersection, until the Gambia offered to apply for assistance, hoping to "develop together" with China, in fact asking China for material and financial support. China has always adhered to the concept of a community of common destiny and has always tried its best to support relatively backward small countries in terms of technology and people's livelihood. But the aid was not unconditional, and the Gambia's demands amounted to blatant robbery, and in the face of such shameless "conditions of cooperation", China naturally refused. However, the Gambia showed such "toughness", while asking for assistance, it openly carried out diplomatic activities with Taiwan, which seriously violated China's sovereignty, and eventually led to the formal severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries. So what did the Gambia end up with?
According to incomplete statistics, the Gambia has successively obtained six ships and some support for naval construction after cooperating with Taiwan. So why has China always tolerated such countries? How did Chinese attitude towards them change from anger to banter?
It turned out that after learning about the history of The Gambia, Chinese netizens found that the Gambia not only did this to China, but also issued an all-round and indiscriminate war of words against all countries, but also lacked rationality. This "toughness" seems to be the "traditional skill" of The Gambia. During World War II, due to the disagreement between Britain and France over the colonial area of Senegal, the Gambia emerged as an internationally recognized sovereign state. But the country needs leaders, and in general, the president of the country needs to be recognized and embraced by the people. In The Gambia, there is a high level of support for a veterinarian named Jawala. The reason why Jawara has such high support is not because of him
The Gambia, a province less than China, has spoken out on the international stage and provoked major powers, and seems to have incredible self-confidence. It can't help but wonder how this seemingly insignificant country managed to be so "arrogant"?
On the Internet, The Gambia is often jokingly called "the first power in the universe", not because of its strength, but because it is "too daring to say". In the face of international affairs, it is inconceivable that it often easily provokes major powers and even threatens all parties.
However, the Gambia has not been without its costs. His self-confidence and arrogance stem from his particular historical and political context. The Gambia became independent during World War II and was recognized by the international community as a sovereign state. However, the country did not establish a stable political and economic system in a short period of time. When Jawara became president, although he had a doctorate and a certain intellectual background, his decisions and actions were full of risky and unrealistic fantasies.
The Gambia used to rely on the support of major powers such as the Soviet Union, but due to changes in the international landscape, foreign aid has gradually declined. This has forced leaders like Jawara to resort to aggressive diplomacy to secure more resources and assistance. However, this provocative attitude led to conflicts with countries such as the Soviet Union, further isolating the Gambia.
Jawara's ouster has not changed the Gambia's provocative attitude. The new president, Jammeh, adopted a more radical policy, expanding the country's army in an attempt to show strength to European and American countries. This has led to more severe economic sanctions and international isolation. The Gambia's diplomatic rhetoric has become more aggressive, provoking not only the United States but also challenging major powers such as China.
However, the Gambia's provocations have not brought tangible benefits. The domestic economy continued to deteriorate, and the population was plunged into poverty and disease. Political instability has led to social unrest and bleak prospects for the country. The Gambia's leaders seem unable to grasp the actual international situation, pushing the country to the brink of danger.
For a country like the Gambia, we cannot but be worried. The decisions and actions of national leaders directly affect the fate of the country and its people. The people of The Gambia deserve a better future, and they should not be implicated in the wrong decisions of their leaders. It was to be hoped that the Gambia would take the first step towards stability and prosperity, put aside its bluff, pursue practical national interests, and create a better life for its people.
Overall, the story of The Gambia is one of international politics full of drama and absurdity. It reminds us that leaders' actions and decisions have a profound impact on countries and people, and that bluffing and defiant attitudes do not solve real problems. It was hoped that the Gambia would find the right path in the future to achieve the development of the country and the happiness of the people.
