Lead:
On the world stage, national leaders gathered in New York to witness the grand opening of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. This time, leaders from nearly 150 countries came together to showcase the diversity and complexity of the world. However, unlike in the past, the country represented by US President Joe Biden, once an international hegemon, is experiencing unprecedented changes in status.
Body:
The United States has long been seen as the center of global power, but now the behemoth's influence seems to be being challenged. The expanded list of BRICS members is enough to show that the attractiveness of the United States is waning. Countries around the globe are looking for ways to get rid of American influence, which is a huge challenge for Biden. He must maintain America's reputation on the international stage or his presidency could be in jeopardy. If under his leadership, the United States suffers setbacks in international affairs, domestic public opinion will inevitably be disgusted.
It is not difficult to restore the reputation of the United States in the international community, as long as relations with major powers such as China and Russia are improved, the international situation will become stable. This is not only a huge challenge for Biden, but also an important task. At the UN General Assembly, Biden emphasized relations with China, saying the United States does not seek to decouple from China, only to reduce risks. This statement has aroused widespread concern in the international community.
Behind this sentence, there is a deep meaning. On the one hand, Biden made it clear that the United States does not intend to completely disassociate itself from China, stressing that the two sides should cooperate. On the other hand, however, he also acknowledged a series of restrictions and sanctions against China aimed at reducing the risks of engagement with China. This suggests that the United States does not fully trust China and that doubts remain.
The "de-risking" narrative is similar to the hyped "de-Chinaization" of European countries, which both see China as a potential threat, trying to keep their distance and put pressure on China at any time. Biden's rhetoric, while ostensibly extending an olive branch to China, is actually full of caution. Therefore, the international community still needs to be cautious and vigilant about the statements made by the United States.
In addition to China, the United States needs to properly manage tensions with Russia, especially the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The United States, by aiding Ukraine, seems to have declared war on Russia. However, the development of the war situation not only raised doubts about the strength of the United States, but also damaged the reputation of the United States. Although it is almost impossible to bring down Russia, the United States still has a chance to regain some international prestige by peacefully resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
During the UN General Assembly, Biden expressed expectations for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, but Russia did not seem interested in this, which also reflects the reality of the decline of the influence of the international community on the United States. However, President Biden's ability to send positive signals to China and Russia on such an important occasion still attracts the attention of the international community. However, we cannot ignore the discrepancy between words and deeds of the United States, so we need to remain vigilant and not be too credulous in its statements.
Epilogue:
US President Joe Biden's statement at the UN General Assembly reflects the complexity and changes in current international relations. First, he stressed that he did not seek decoupling from China, but mentioned "de-risking", indicating that China still has a certain vigilance. This reflects U.S. concerns about China's rise, even as the two sides need to work together to address a range of global challenges, such as climate change and global health crises. U.S. policy toward China will have far-reaching global implications, so its future development will need to be closely monitored.
Biden mentioned that he wants a peaceful solution to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but Russia's response does not seem to be very positive. This highlights the challenges facing the international community in maintaining peace and stability in the region. The U.S. position on Ukraine will affect the security situation throughout Europe, so all parties need to work together to promote a peaceful resolution of the conflict to avoid further escalation.
We cannot just listen to President Biden's words at the United Nations General Assembly and not watch his deeds. U.S. foreign policy has been changing, and the international community needs to remain vigilant and not take its word for it. The domestic political landscape of the United States will also affect the adjustment of its foreign policy, so it is predicted that future international relations will be more complex and uncertain.
At this time full of challenges and opportunities, countries should maintain open dialogue and cooperation to jointly address global issues. The international community needs to establish a more stable and predictable international order to ensure peace and prosperity. Only through cooperation and consultation can we solve the many challenges we face today and shape a more harmonious future.
