Recently, Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi announced in the Japanese media nhk program that the G7 foreign ministers plan to meet next week, and the main topic is the situation in Afghanistan. One of the most noteworthy is that the Japanese side specifically mentioned that Russia and China are expected to be invited to participate.
G7 in recent years, under the leadership of the United States, has gradually deviated from the original development direction, evolved into the vanguard of the anti-China and anti-Russian contingent of Western industrial countries, and this time they actually took the initiative to invite China and Russia, is it that the Western countries have suddenly changed their foreign policies and want to send a signal of goodwill and seek common development?
Unfortunately, this is clearly an unrealistic fantasy. The ugly face of the Western countries cannot be changed, but this time it is just a mask of hypocrisy, which is essentially a "wolf in sheep's clothing" and may show sharp fangs at any time.
The G7's invitation to China and Russia this time is obviously to use the three banners of democracy, freedom and human rights that Western countries have always talked about to morally kidnap China and Russia, so as to make the two countries work the Afghan issue and solve their problems for them, on the one hand, it can make China and Russia lack of skills and tired of dealing with many problems, on the other hand, it is to reduce the pressure of Western countries and further curb the development of China and Russia.
Western countries have previously ignored China's diplomatic strategy of win-win cooperation, but instead hyped up the "China threat theory" and repeatedly smeared and attacked China, but now this "poisonous snake" has found a "farmer" and wants to get China's help to gain its own prestige in the international community.
Afghanistan has been in turmoil and regime upheaval in just a few weeks, and unexpectedly, the two-decade war has been brought about a comeback of the Taliban regime. Under the sudden change, this naturally has also triggered a series of social problems, the most critical of which is the disposal of a large number of refugees, which has become the focus of global attention.
According to the statistics released by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Afghanistan is expected to add about 500,000 new refugees, and the actual data may be higher, which is a headache for Western countries. Because they have always held high the banner of "freedom, democracy and human rights", but if refugees pour into Europe, it will be a devastating blow to Europe's economic and social stability.
What's more, the root cause of these problems is that the United States has promoted the war in Afghanistan because of hegemonism, but now it wants Europe to "pay for it", and the European leadership is naturally unhappy. In fact, in addition to the culprit, the United States, only a few countries such as Britain, France, Canada, Australia, and Germany are currently willing to accept about tens of thousands of Afghan refugees in the next few years, and these refugees are also limited to "persecuted" women or children.
Whether those countries will live up to their commitments is still unknown. Other Western countries, on the other hand, are afraid to avoid it and are unwilling to fall into the "political whirlpool" of refugees. As early as August 31, the European Union refused to allow refugees to enter the country on the grounds that the 2015 refugee crisis triggered by the war in Syria had troubled European leaders, hoping to avoid another influx of refugees that would make Europe unable to afford it.
But in this way, the refugee problem in Afghanistan has become a "hot potato", and nearly hundreds of thousands of new refugees have not been properly resolved, which is a destabilizing factor for the entire world. Therefore, the brazen Western countries are ready to bring disasters to the east, on the one hand, they have uncharacteristically expressed their intention to cooperate to ease Sino-US relations, and on the other hand, they have borrowed the voice of many countries and even the United Nations to constantly use international public opinion and humanitarian assistance to pressure Afghanistan's neighbors, including China, to accept refugees.
This G7 meeting deliberately invited China and Russia to participate, and it will be an inevitable result to mention once again that China and Russia will accept refugees. However, the dreams of Western countries may not be as good as they want. Recently, Russia has taken the lead in making a statement on what the Japanese side said, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova told the satellite news agency on the 5th that Russia received signals from Berlin and Paris about the meeting, but did not talk about how the G7 meeting was carried out, and then Japan issued the so-called G7 statement.
Russia borrowed the non-uniform caliber of many countries as the premise background, vague about this, and did not have too much "gratitude" for the invitation of the G7, this indifferent handling attitude is enough to foresee that Western countries that want China and Russia to participate in the G7 but cannot show sincerity may run into a wall, because the conspiracies and tricks of Western countries are already the heart of Sima Zhao, and passers-by are well known.
This is not because China and Russia do not actively participate in multilateral foreign affairs, but because the arrogant attitude of Western countries that want to come and go at once is pathological, incorrect, and insincere. Most importantly, even if China and Russia participate, whether they can reach consensus and achieve effective results depends more on the attitude of Western countries, otherwise it is meaningless, because the positions of China and Russia on the issue of Afghan refugees are already very clear.
The Russian spokesman said they hoped that the situation in Afghanistan could calm down as soon as possible, and that Russia was willing to contribute to the future peace and post-war construction of Afghanistan, such as sending planes to pick up Afghan refugees, and then Russia would send those refugees to those countries that were willing to accept them.
At the foreign ministry press conference, China specifically stressed that the top priority of the Afghan issue should be to avoid new civil wars or humanitarian disasters, and to avoid unnecessary casualties and large-scale refugees to the greatest extent, which is the fundamental way to solve the refugee problem; on August 24, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said bluntly that the United States is the initiator of the Afghan issue, and should not go away at the moment, but must shoulder its own responsibilities.
In other words, the West has brought two decades of chaos to Afghanistan, causing so many civilian displacements, but they are unwilling to take responsibility for it, but they stand on the moral high ground to pretend to have a sense of compassion for the world's great power, and want to forcibly throw the "mess" to China and other countries, and China cannot jump into this trap.
Nowadays, Western countries want to distort and obscure the refugee issue, and they are all pulling at the problem of refugee reception, but they do not mention the reasons for the influx of afghan refugees, in a vain attempt to cooperate with the boring drama of irony through the appearance of things. The refugee issue was important, but the most important thing should be to explore the root causes of the emergence of refugees and reduce the number of refugees further expanded. As soon as the crimes of the Western countries are not settled, they will not want our country to extend a helping hand at the risk of social unrest.
Why do Western countries, when they have great malice and hostility toward our country, not hesitate to put down their arrogant posture and want to pull China and Russia into the water?
First, geopolitical reasons
Most relevant to the Afghan question is not countries such as the United States and Europe, but its neighbors. The withdrawal of U.S. troops will bring too much uncertainty to neighboring countries, because this not only directly threatens the security of borders between countries, but also makes it impossible to judge what will happen when ideologies and ideologies and cultures collide.
As for China and Russia, they are both big countries with influence and discourse power in the surrounding areas of Afghanistan, and China is directly bordering Afghanistan by a narrow Wakhan Corridor. On the Afghan issue, it is impossible to bypass China and Russia to talks, and the two countries will directly affect the attitude and opinions of the entire region.
Second, the Taliban's trust in China and Russia
Because of the shadow of the Taliban behind the War in Chechnya, Russia is ostensibly antagonistic to the Taliban, but due to the strategic considerations in Central Asia, Russia has a wait-and-see attitude toward the Atta regime. But for the Taliban, it is inextricably linked to Russia, and after losing U.S. aid, Afghanistan needs Russia to replenish its armaments, so Russia has become a hidden "ally" in Atta's heart.
Ata not only sent high-level officials to visit China before the end of the war, but also frequently made overtures to our country, calling china a "great neighbor" and wanting to carry out close cooperation and ties. Although our country has not acted childishly "in line" in the situation in Afghanistan and has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs to remain neutral, ata's trust in our country out of political interests and the needs of economic development is obvious to all. The refugee issue and even the follow-up issue of the situation in Afghanistan have a special status for Both China and Russia, which cannot be ignored.
Third, the core reason lies in the powerful force
Weak countries have no diplomacy, and only when they are strong can they truly grasp the right to speak. Even if the West does not want to recognize it, the position of China and Russia in the international community is very important. In addition to the status of the five permanent members of the United Nations, Russia, with the "red legacy" left by the former Soviet Union, although its development is lagging behind, is enough to rank among the top in the world, and its huge nuclear arsenal is also the basis for military deterrence.
Although China still has a gap with developed countries, these gaps are narrowing at an incredible speed and have become an important force changing the world pattern. The rise of the Chinese nation will be an irreversible torrent of the times, and the fear and encirclement and interception of Western countries are the best proof.
Most importantly, China and Russia also have a sense of great power responsibility that matches the powerful forces. In the aftermath of the turmoil in Afghanistan, my country and Russia have repeatedly launched joint military exercises with Central Asian countries, with the intention of warning Afghanistan not to attempt to undermine the current situation. If there is a change, the two countries will use thunderous means to kill the embryo of the threat to peace in the cradle. On the Afghan issue, the strength of China and Russia is enough to influence the direction of the situation.
In view of this, China and Russia will work together for the stability of the situation in Afghanistan, but it is unlikely to become a "scapegoat" for Western countries. Twenty years of blood- and tear-to-tear afghan war history prove that the United States is not feasible to rigidly apply democracy, and that it should reflect on it and pay for its mistakes, rather than blindly evading and forcing other countries to accept refugees.
