The recent world situation has been full of changes. What is unexpectedly is that one country actually issued a challenge letter to China, Russia and Iran at the same time.
That country is the United Kingdom, a traditional ally of the United States. For various reasons, Britain's performance in the international arena has become more and more active recently, and Britain even dares to "take the lead" on some issues that the United States has not publicly stated.
But this time, Britain suddenly issued a letter of challenge to China, Russia and Iran, which is really a bit puzzling. And all this has to start with a series of recent actions in the UK.
The British Empire jumping up and down
Recently, armed clashes have broken out in Europe and the United States and the Houthi rebels in Yemen around the Red Sea. In order to protect Israel and its own merchant ships, the United States has even enlisted its traditional allies to fight the Houthis.
However, the United States has come full circle, and Spain, France, and other countries have rejected the US demands. Britain is the only country that has actively cooperated with the United States in its attacks on the Houthis in Yemen.
On the evening of January 22, local time, the United States and the United Kingdom joined forces again and launched strikes against many Houthi strongholds. It has been learned that in order to cooperate with the US military operations, Britain even specially transferred Typhoon fighters from its own air bases.
As we all know, before and after the Second World War, Britain and the United States once formed a special "transatlantic partnership". This diplomatic relationship has also had a direct impact on Britain's attitude toward the United States in many international affairs today.
What people didn't expect was that Britain had recently begun to take the initiative to attack China, Russia and Iran. According to the information published by the global network and other media, the British police directly set up a new department against China, Russia and Iran, which is equivalent to issuing a challenge to the three countries.
The United Kingdom issued a challenge
On January 20, Reuters and other media reported that the British police had recently set up a new office to deal with the threats from China, Russia and Iran.
Matt Jukes, assistant commissioner for counter-terrorism at the London Police, also gave an interview to the media on this matter. Mark said there was evidence that "hostile states" pose a more dangerous threat to Britain today than they did during the Cold War.
Immediately afterwards, Matt Jux stressed to the media: "We are talking about parts of the state apparatus of Iran, China and Russia. ”
According to the news published by the well-known media "Daily Telegraph", the British have previously found traces of Russian espionage in the southwest area of London, but the Russian government has always denied this.
Therefore, many British police officials believe that it is more important than ever to do a good job of preventing the infiltration of spies in China, Russia and Iran.
Some British officials even believe that spies from China, Russia and Iran are likely to commit terrorist crimes in the UK, so it is necessary to set up relevant targeting agencies.
However, some commentators have pointed out that there is no doubt that these actions of the British government are self-inflicted. Rather than seeing their actions as a "counter-terrorism" effort, their actions should be seen as a show.
Political hype in the UK
Recently, Professor Cui Hongjian of Beijing University of Foreign Chinese accepted an exclusive interview with the Global Times on related issues. Professor Cui believes that although there are sharp contradictions in British society, this is not a reason for them to list China as a threat.
In fact, British politicians are also well aware of this. But they still chose to pull China out as the target of public criticism at this time, which is obviously engaging in political hype and show.
Because the public opinion of the entire Western world is surrounded by various anti-China arguments, the reason why the British government has set up corresponding institutions is also to cater to this kind of argument in the current Western society.
In September last year, the British media also claimed that the two men had provided information to the Chinese intelligence agencies, but this absurd news was later strongly criticized by the Chinese side.
Now that the date of the 2024 British general election is gradually approaching, the British government and media have begun to deliberately hype up anti-China public opinion. The purpose is obvious.
In view of this kind of boring political manipulation, I believe that people of insight can see through it at a glance.
One day, people will clearly recognize the reality that China will never regard any country as its enemy, and China's rise will not pose a threat to any party. The merits and demerits of right and wrong have their own public opinions.
