sequence
For a long time, the Middle East has given people the impression that there are constant wars, big and small, and it seems that there has never been peace, and it has even become synonymous with chaos and war.
In fact, this is not a stereotype, the Middle East region has indeed been in the midst of war for a long time, and it has not stopped until now, there is still a lot of friction between Iran and Israel, and the entire Middle East region is still in chaos.
The Middle East is very close to Asia, but in contrast, Asia is much calmer, with few wars and conflicts, and even minor frictions.
This makes people wonder why the gap between the two regions is so big, and does such peace and stability in Asia have anything to do with China?
There is a reason for the chaos in the Middle East
The word Middle East seems to have always been associated with the word "war", and as long as the Middle East is mentioned, people will naturally associate it with the scene of yellow sand and artillery fire.
Such an idea is not unfounded, and almost the entire Middle East fits the description of these two words very well.
The Middle East is a general term for a region that is located at the intersection of three continents, Asia, Europe and Africa, starting from the eastern part of the European Mediterranean to the western part of Asia, and also includes some countries in northern Africa.
From the geographical point of view, it can already be seen that the importance of the Middle East region, occupying the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Aden and other important maritime transportation hubs, the strategic significance is self-evident.
The Middle East is not only a maritime transportation hub, but also a veritable transportation hub on land, after all, it can connect the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, which can be called accessible in all directions, and it is no wonder that the Middle East is called "a bay, two oceans, three continents and five seas".
However, convenient transportation can only be counted as a plus point for the Middle East, and the most critical point is because the Middle East is rich in resources, which is the consensus of almost all countries in the world.
According to a 2019 statistic, it can be seen that the oil reserves in the Middle East account for 61% of the world.
Such exaggerated reserves, coupled with the convenient transportation in the Middle East, a large amount of oil has been exported to all over the world, which has directly made many countries make a lot of money, and economic development is at the forefront of the world.
Oil is a non-renewable resource, and the rarity of oil is needless to say, and the rich oil resources in the Middle East are soon targeted by other countries, and the United States is one of them.
The combination of these reasons has indirectly pushed the Middle East region to the "cusp" and become the object of attention of many countries, but this kind of attention is not a compliment, but a concern similar to "turning a blind eye".
It is not uncommon for countries in the Middle East to be rich, and the reputation of "a piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest in the world" is by no means a wasted name, but a well-deserved name.
People are indeed rich, there is no doubt about this, after all, they occupy such excellent conditions as the right time and place, to be honest, it is difficult even if they want to make money, but in terms of people and this aspect, the Middle East is obviously a little inconsistent.
The first indigenous people in the Middle East were all migratory, and there were many people and they were very chaotic, because of different religious beliefs and ethnic groups, which was equivalent to planting a bane for the Middle East.
After that, Britain, France, the United States and other Western countries looked at the rich oil resources and wanted to get a piece of the pie, but they did not find suitable reasons and excuses, but directly began to meddle in the Middle East affairs with the logic of bandits.
After the intervention of the United States, the situation in the entire Middle East immediately began to take a sharp turn for the worse, and the United States can always find an opportunity to provoke contradictions, and may even directly help.
It is no exaggeration to say that the cause of the vast majority of wars and conflicts in the Middle East is because of the United States, and the entire Middle East region is constantly strife, and the United States is all responsible for it.
From this point of view, it is natural to understand why the Middle East is a mess, while this is rarely the case in these parts of Asia, and in fact, it is all because of the United States.
China and India are ruthless characters
Many countries in the Middle East themselves have quite a few "contradictions," and this contradiction involves a very wide range; in addition to the contradictions of the countries themselves, the religious and ethnic issues can be called a hidden mine buried in the Middle East.
Sooner or later, these historical problems will usher in a major eruption, and the sowing of discord by the United States will eventually become the fuse of these problems, but this situation will be completely different if it is placed in Asia.
Take some Southeast Asian countries as an example, there are many countries in Southeast Asia that also have religious problems, for example, India is very good at religious management.
At the beginning, India had many different religions, but this did not affect the development of India, and now the coexistence of multiple religions in India is also very well managed, and there are few vicious incidents caused by religious problems.
This situation is even more obvious in China, where there are many religions, and there are also many people with religious beliefs, and there are even 56 ethnic groups in China, but this will not affect the great unity of the nationalities in the slightest, let alone the cohesion of the Chinese nation.
The United States not only likes to do things in the Middle East, but also likes to make a fuss about the Taiwan Strait issue on the mainland, and it wants to make a sense of presence in the South China Sea at every turn with the Philippines and other countries, and the frequency is absolutely no less than that in the Middle East.
However, despite this, China is still peaceful and stable, and has not been particularly affected, and it can be said that the US provocation has no effect on the mainland at all, and it is all regarded as a "clown jumping off the beam."
From the point of view of the United States, it may indeed want to copy the same set of measures in the Middle East, but it is obviously useless for China, and on the contrary, it may make the people on the island return to their hearts like arrows and speed up the process of peaceful reunification between the two sides of the strait.
epilogue
In the final analysis, peace and stability in Asia is due to countries like China and India.
China is a strong national power, and it has been able to stand alone in the international community, and at the same time, it also has a high voice in the United Nations, and it is at the forefront of the world in terms of military strength and economic strength.
Even if it is as powerful as the United States, it can only go to the point against China, and it will not dare to cross the line at all, let alone directly meddle in China's affairs.
Although India's strength is not as strong as China's, compared with those countries in the Middle East, India's strength is still very strong, and it can even do it without looking at the face of the United States.
In March, when the United States openly criticized India's presidential election, it directly received a tough response from the Indian government, and it did not give the United States any face at all.
Just imagine, if every country in the Middle East could do the same as China and India, I believe that the Middle East will also be a pure land today!
