Wave after wave of unevenness!
At present, countries around the world are facing a new round of "great reshuffle moments", chaos and turmoil are still spreading, and the impact of great changes and epidemics is also profoundly affecting the international situation.
On November 4, three more events happened in the world, each of which meant a lot.
First thing, America First? Biden proposed a new plan, which 25 countries and regions opposed!
On the 3rd, according to Japanese media reports, in order to popularize electric vehicles, the United States proposed a "tax credit program" and included it in the Biden administration's $1.75 trillion spending framework.
The plan increases the tax credit to $12,500 per vehicle, but only for electric vehicles that have factories and are produced in the United States. Electric vehicles, which are headquartered abroad and produce and sell to the United States, cannot even enjoy the preferential policies of the past.
As soon as this news came out, 25 countries and regions, including the European Union, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Canada, etc., jointly signed by their respective ambassadors to the United States, jointly sent a joint open letter to the White House.
In the letter, 25 ambassadors accused the United States of violating international trade rules, contradicting the "climate policy" advocated by the United States and leading to a sharp decline in the number of electric vehicle models available to the American public.
What do you think about that?
1, the traditional car companies in the United States are anxious, and the Biden administration is also anxious.
In April this year, US President Joe Biden publicly stated: "We are far behind [in the field of electric vehicles]." Yes, although the United States has Tesla, there are more traditional car companies like Ford and General Motors in the United States.
There is no doubt that in the tram market, which far exceeds the trillion-level tram market, the automobile manufacturing power represented by China, Japan and Germany has an advantage over the United States.
In this context, the US domestic car companies need more support, and biden's promised $170 billion subsidy is far from enough.
2, in order to practice "America First", the White House does not even spare allies.
It must be pointed out that the United States has always prided itself on being a "staunch defender of free trade," but the truth is that the United States has violated WTO rules more than once and implemented many unreasonable trade protection measures.
It should be known that the automobile industry can be described as the "pearl of manufacturing", and its industrial chain can even contribute about 10% of a country's GDP. What's more, in the new field of trams, it can create a huge number of jobs in the United States.
Obviously, there are no allies in the face of interests, can the United States, which has always been domineering, allow "drink soup by itself and eat meat from allies"?
3, pay attention to the time when things actually happen, it is difficult not to be associative.
It should be noted that the joint letter will be paid on October 29, and the next day will be the G20 Leaders' Summit, followed by the two-week UN Climate Change Summit (COP26).
These two summits focused on climate and environmental protection, and the importance of new energy vehicles is self-evident.
At such a critical juncture, many allies of the United States have joined forces to exert pressure, which is bound to win more chips in the next series of negotiations.
It should also be noted that the Biden administration wants to "reshape American leadership" and strive to become a leader in the global response to climate change, and it is absolutely indispensable to the cooperation of allies.
However, "I want the horses to run, and I want the horses not to eat grass", where is such a good thing under the heavens? And the "big cake" of the tram is the price code offered by the US allies to Biden: in a word, you have to add money!
Next, let's talk about the second thing, still not dead hearted? Ukraine continues to spread rumors: Russia is increasing its troops on the border!
Just today, Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister Mariar said that according to reliable intelligence, Russia will increase its troops to the Russian-Ukrainian border between December and January.
It has to be said that Ukraine is indeed "hard-mouthed".
It should be known that in response to the news released by the US media that "Russia is increasing its troops to the Russian-Ukrainian border", the Russian side has made a clarification.
In the satellite pictures released by the US media, the Russian army only deployed troops in the Smolensk Oblast, and the oblast does not border Ukraine, which is obviously a normal military movement of the Russian side.
Therefore, the spokesman of the Russian Foreign Ministry even stated this morning: "This is not just a fake news, but also a false activity in the US media circles."
There is no doubt that Russia has long seen the essence of the problem, but Ukraine is still "opening its eyes and talking nonsense", which is really sad and ridiculous.
First, it has to be said that Ukraine is "loyal" to NATO, led by the United States.
After all, after the lies of the US media were exposed, Ukraine was still unwilling to let go, and insisted that Russia sit in the notoriety of "increasing troops to the Russian-Ukrainian border", which is worthy of the "anti-Russian pawn" in the heart of the United States.
As for Ukraine's idea, it is nothing more than to play up tensions and find a reason for joining NATO. No matter how bad it is, it is not bad to win military assistance from the West.
Second, this is a set of "combination punches", and it is not difficult to guess the careful thinking of the United States.
Note that two U.S. Navy warships have sailed into the Black Sea, which borders Russia and Ukraine. It can be said that this is a substantial military threat, and slandering the increase in the Russian army is a "public opinion war."
At the same time, don't forget that the director of the CIA just paid a secret visit to Russia yesterday, so it can be seen that "talking while fighting" is an old trick of the United States.
Third, the "Russian-Ukrainian issue" is a cliché, and the United States is also very skilled in provoking Contradictions between Russia and Ukraine, and will not hesitate to use them whenever there is a need.
As for the current three things, the climate summit, the Iranian nuclear negotiations and the second "General Visit", the United States and Russia have conflicts of interest, which is the "best time" for Ukraine to play.
However, the big power game, small countries suffer, Ukraine can no longer "a road to the black" ah!
Finally, a brief introduction to the third thing, the Egyptian presidential palace announced: from December to officially "move the capital"!
On the 3rd local time, the Egyptian presidential palace issued a statement saying that according to the instructions of Egyptian President Sisi, the Egyptian government will begin to move to the new administrative capital from December this year.
In fact, the "relocation" plan was established in 2015, when the Egyptian government said it would spend five to seven years to build a new administrative capital to host Cairo's major government agencies.
It is reported that the new administrative capital will be built on a desert east of Cairo, about between Cairo and the Suez Canal, covering an area of 700 square kilometers, with at least 1.1 million houses and a capacity for 5 million people.
It is true that the purpose of building this administrative capital is to alleviate the "population explosion" in the capital Cairo.
As Egypt's political, economic, cultural and transportation hub, Cairo is not only the largest city in Egypt, but also the largest in Africa. However, more than 22 million people live here, resulting in Cairo also facing extremely serious traffic congestion and air pollution problems.
That's why the Egyptian government planned the project, with the aim of evacuating the population and alleviating traffic pressures, while also bringing business functions with it, making it a political and financial center of Egypt.
I have to say that this plan is very ambitious and ambitious. But fortunately, with the deep participation of China State Construction Corporation, the first phase of the construction project in Egypt's new administrative capital has finally "borne fruit".
It is foreseeable that the city will inject new impetus into Egypt's economy, benefiting both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea region, and the world will witness the speed and quality of the "infrastructure maniac".
There is reason to believe that there will be more similar cooperation projects in the future, because this is a model of bilateral relations and a vivid interpretation of the concept of "win-win cooperation".
In contrast, the greedy United States has fallen behind.
