Why are international relations the same today as they were in the 19th century, and why are our former adversaries not becoming friendly, but growing stronger? The answers to these questions were vividly and profoundly illustrated at a China-led meeting of the United Nations Security Council last year.
On November 22, 2023, the 50th day and night of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the shadow of war still looms over the Gaza Strip. Deeply aware of the urgency of the situation, the UAE and Malta jointly submitted a request to the Chinese side, hoping that under China's guidance, the Security Council would be able to hold an open discussion on the tense situation in the Gaza Strip. At that time, Israel's military operations had reached an astonishing extreme, and the successive attacks and bloodshed continued to occur, as if to re-enact the suffering experienced by the Chinese people a hundred years ago, which made the Chinese people deeply saddened and indignant.
At this open meeting of the Security Council, chaired by the Chinese side, UN Women and other agencies have made detailed reports, revealing the deep harm caused by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to vulnerable groups such as women and children. At the end of these reports, the Israeli representative, Erdan, showed extreme impatience, and his rhetoric was full of indifference and contempt for the Palestinians, and even openly denigrated UN Women as shameful. His attitude not only exposes Israel's hegemonic mentality in the conflict, but also highlights its disregard for international law and humanitarianism.
In the face of Erdan's arrogance and unreasonableness, China and other members of the Security Council have expressed strong dissatisfaction and condemnation. This meeting is not only a profound reflection on the situation in the Gaza Strip, but also a severe test of international social responsibility and responsibility.
Just as the Israeli delegate was talking wildly, a sonorous hammer suddenly sounded, and the trees fell in shock, interrupting his words in an instant. His expression froze for a moment, the arrogance and arrogance in his eyes were replaced by a touch of clarity, and he instantly became silent, not daring to speak easily.
After a moment of silence, Chinese Ambassador Zhang Jun began to speak. As his voice rang out, the entire Israeli team was thrown into a scramble. Colleagues behind them hurriedly searched for simultaneous interpreter headsets, for fear of missing every word spoken by the Chinese delegates. Erdan himself wanted to wear glasses, but time was pressing, so he could only pinch the temples with one hand in a panic and quickly pick up headphones with the other hand to listen intently to China's speech.
Not so long ago, the Israeli representative was arrogant, but now he subconsciously nodded his head in agreement with China's words. The reason is simple, he knows that it is China that interrupts him, the only country on the planet that can push the United States back. He began to worry whether it was his arrogant remarks that had annoyed China? Although the Israelis often behaved arrogantly and domineeringly, they knew very well in their hearts that once a behemoth like China exerts its strength, it will by no means be something they can easily bear, and they can only listen to China's speech with full attention at the moment, hoping to gain insight into China's attitude and stance.
I implore you, distinguished representative of Israel, to give the informant of the meeting the due respect when you express your views. This is a long-standing tradition of the Council,
It is also a basic principle that every participant should abide by. Your freedom of speech, we fully understand and respect, but please be sure to pay attention to the way you express it. I now invite you to continue your statement, and I hope that your rhetoric will be more appropriate.
As Ambassador Zhang Jun spoke, I would like to remind you that in addition to paying attention to the content of the speech itself, we can also observe the two Dharma Protectors behind Master Zhang, whose expressions are equally intriguing. One was dismissive, the other with obvious contempt. These subtle emotional changes may also provide some clues for us to understand the current situation. Of course, if you have any doubts about the content of the speech, I would like to try my best to explain, and even use a more general way, such as fists and kicks or fire metaphors, I hope you can understand it better.
Although China and Israel are far apart, remember that we Chinese have the magical power to give birth to drones and rocket launchers. The Israeli delegate seemed relieved when Ambassador Zhang Jun's words fell, and he took a deep breath to express his gratitude to the President.
Under the influence of China, the attitude of the Israeli representatives has changed dramatically. He was originally unruly, but in the following speech, he did not dare to completely follow the script, and even skipped two pages of content. This scene, combined with the international background at the time, undoubtedly demonstrated the deterrent power of a major country.
Although Israel has the support of the United States behind them, and appears arrogant in verbal confrontations and even on the battlefield, this time they appear panicked and intimidated by China's strength. After all, Israel is well aware that true civilization is meant to protect them, not to provoke. Otherwise, in the face of China's 12 Type 05 warships, 29 heavy equipment, and strong military strength, how can they talk to us on an equal footing and discuss the April matter?
Behind this incident, there are complex international relations and profound political wisdom. A new order is quietly taking shape, and all of this is full of dark intrigue and unpredictable axes, and although the S3 season seems to be just an online meme, it deeply reflects the complex situation and tension in today's world from a certain angle. On April 1, the Iranian embassy in Syria was bombed, and behind this incident was Israel's intention to resolutely support the spillover of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Then, on 2 April, the Southern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) acted swiftly and organized army and air forces to hold a joint live-fire exercise on our side of the China-Myanmar border. This military move not only demonstrated the mainland's strong military strength, but also conveyed a clear strategic intention. Looking back at history, similar military operations have often been accompanied by important strategic results. Since the last similar exercise, anti-fraud efforts in northern Myanmar have yielded remarkable results, while the long-standing dispute over the lease of Kyaukphyu Port has been successfully resolved, with the lease term extended from the original 50 years to 99 years.
While there was speculation about the real intentions behind the exercise, the answer was revealed the next day. This is not only a simple military exercise, but also a powerful response to the current complex international situation, demonstrating China's determination and strength to maintain regional peace and stability.
