American Lies about Wars and Plunder

Li Changjiu

How many times has the United States intervened or fought by lying and deceiving? How much land and wealth did the United States plunder when waging a war of aggression on the basis of lies? How much damage has been done to the economy and society of the affected countries and how many people have been displaced from their homes by waging war under lies? History is a mirror, and all countries should conscientiously study the history of US foreign interference and war, draw lessons from it, and take effective measures to prevent the United States from provoking war with all kinds of lies. 

Manifest Destiny and the Territorial Expansion of the United States

From 1846 to 1914, the United States expanded its territory from the 13 former British colonies on the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast, and then from North America to Asia, all of which were gained dishonestly through war by the excuse of "manifest destiny", and seized incalculable wealth from the world in 68 years.

I. The Occupation of 55% of Mexico's Territory. 

II. The Territorial Expansion to Asia. 

III. The Control of the Panama Canal That Connects the Two Oceans. 

The Wars Launched by the United States with Made-up Excuses Brought Massive Devastation and Loss of Life

The two world wars are unprecedented large-scale wars in human history, causing great havoc and disaster to mankind. After the end of the second World War in 1945, more and more countries and peoples wanted to develop and live in a peaceful environment. The United States, on the other hand, is still the country with the most foreign interference and war. 

I. Creating the "Beibu Gulf incident" to Launch the Vietnam War of Aggression. 

II. Launching a war of aggression against Iraq on the grounds of possession of "weapons of mass destruction" 

III. the War against Libya with the lie of the Holocaust. 

IV. Bombing Syria under the lie of "using chemical weapons" 

Several wars waged by the United States in West Asia and North Africa have led to serious economic and social damage in the affected countries and tens of thousands of residents have been displaced or reduced to refugees. A large number of residents of the Middle East have become refugees, forming the largest influx of refugees in the world since the end of the second World War. The influx of refugees and unemployed young people into Europe has intensified the contradictions between the United States and Europe and European countries, and has become one of the major social problems faced by Western countries. 

The danger of the United States continuing to expand its troops in preparation for war still exists

Trump's continued military expansion is mainly manifested in the fact that US military bases abroad have been fully covered; control of oceans and waterways; US military power is extending from land and sea into space; and the Trump administration has strengthened its nuclear weapons forces. 

What deserves the attention of all countries is that US foreign intervention is extending from the military field to the economic field. The United States not only launched a war of foreign aggression under lies, but also launched a trade war, a currency war and a science and technology war. Former US President Jimmy Carter confirmed that the United States has not fought for only 16 years during a history of more than 240 years, making it "the most belligerent country in the history of the world."

The Inheritance and Development of New China’s Diplomacy in the Past 70 Years

Yu Sui

The 70-year history of China's diplomacy can be roughly divided into three eras. First, the era of Mao Zedong (1949-1978). Second, Deng Xiaoping and his subsequent era (1978-2012). Third, Xi Jinping era (since 2012). Since the founding of New China, from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping, Chinese leaders have accumulated rich experience and achievements in diplomacy through inheritance, development and innovation in several historical periods.

Here are three concluding observations:

First, we can observe the inheritance, development and characteristics of New China's diplomatic strategy from different perspectives.

1. From the point of view of the relationship between friends and enemies, we have experienced the process of "leaning on one side", "hitting people with two fists", "one line and one large area", "uniting the United States and Europe against the Soviet Union" and "uniting a large area of the Third World", "opposing Whoever engages in hegemonism, opposing where hegemonism exists", until now. Later, we sought to build a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity and build a community of common destiny.

2. From the perspective of strategic thinking, it has gone through the theory of "two intermediate zones", "three worlds" and "world multipolarity".

3. From the perspective of foreign policy, it has gone through independent diplomacy, independent peace diplomacy and independent peace diplomacy with peaceful development, cooperation and win-win as the banner.

4. From the perspective of the connotation of foreign policy, we should not only attach importance to bilateral relations, but also focus more and more on multilateral relations, closely following the two major aspects of common security and common development.

Secondly, China's diplomatic concept has formed a system, whose cornerstone is the five principles of peaceful coexistence, leverage is an independent foreign policy of peace, the road is peaceful development, the banner is peace, development, cooperation and win-win, and the vision is to build a community of common destiny.

Among them, the principles formed in dealing with state relations can be regarded as the essence of China's foreign policy. This is: 1. The principle of national interest. 2. The principle of safeguarding world peace and promoting common development. 3. Principles of equality, mutual trust and win-win cooperation. 4. The principles of non-alignment, non-confrontation and non-targeting of third countries. 5. The principles of tolerance, mutual learning and diversity. 6. The principle of non-ideological marking. 7. The future-oriented principle. 8. Priority Principle for Developing Countries. 9. The principle of anti-hegemonism. 10. The principle of the core role of the United Nations.

Thirdly, the above facts prove that the Party and the government have properly handled the close relationship between advancing with the times and maintaining fine traditions, the coordinated relationship between global security and peripheral security, the dialectical relationship between competition and cooperation, friction and compromise among major powers, the balanced relationship between opposing hegemonism and combating terrorism, and the development of the United States. The relationship between family relations and opposition to power politics goes hand in hand.

Energy Development Has Been Rapid and Coordinated; Energy Revolution Has a Long Way to Go

—Energy Has Been Supporting Economic and Social Development in the Past 70 Years Since the Founding of New China

Wang Jiacheng

On the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, China's economic and social development has undergone tremendous changes and become the second largest economy in the world. The basic supporting role of energy can not be erased.

I. Great Achievements in Energy Development Attracted World Attention

Over the past 70 years, a safe, stable, economic and clean modern energy industry system has initially taken shape, laying a solid foundation for energy support to promote the construction of a modern economic system and the transformation of the economy to high-quality development.

1. Energy production has grown from weak to strong, the scale of production has been expanding, and the total output is the first in the world.

2. Energy structure from single to multiple, the proportion of clean low-carbon green energy continues to rise.

3. Increasing energy efficiency, steadily advancing energy conservation and emission reduction, and dramatically reducing consumption intensity

4. Coordinated development of regional energy resources to form a nationwide space-optimized energy supply-demand balance pattern

II. Major Experiences of Energy Supporting Economic and Social Development

1. Adhering to the general energy strategy of "laying equal stress on development and conservation", basing on the domestic situation, giving priority to energy conservation.

2. Adhering to the energy development strategy of green industrial development, multi-dimensional coordination and structural optimization

3. Adhere to the strategy of balanced and coordinated development of energy regions, make overall planning and make rational distribution

4. Adhere to the innovation-driven strategy, take scientific and technological innovation as the core, and enhance the ability of independent innovation

3. Promoting the Energy Revolution under the New Development Concept

The Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a precise judgment on China's economic development. "China's economy has changed from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development, and is in a critical period of transforming the mode of development, optimizing the economic structure and transforming the driving force of growth." "Four Revolutions and One Cooperation" in Energy Development - Promoting Energy Consumption Revolution, Energy Supply Revolution, Energy Technology Revolution, Energy System Revolution, and Enhancing International Cooperation in All Aspects are the strategic ideas and general requirements of energy work put forward by the Party Central Committee with General Secretary Xi Jinping as its core, which must be carefully implemented. Cheer, come true.

1. Adhere to the new development concept and build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system

2. Stick to the driving force of scientific and technological innovation, and strive to promote the development of energy Internet with Chinese characteristics

3. Establish the concept of overall energy security and strengthen international win-win energy cooperation in an all-round way

4. Leading by the concept of sharing, improving people's livelihood and creating a new pattern of energy development for the benefit of the people and the people

To support high-quality economic development, China's energy development must firmly establish and earnestly implement the five development concepts of "innovation, coordination, green, open and sharing", adhere to the general energy development strategy of "laying equal stress on development and conservation and putting conservation first". The basic points of energy development strategy can be roughly summarized as follows:based on the country; Internal, conservation-oriented, innovation-driven, green development, environmental protection, structural optimization, regional coordination and international cooperation to build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system.

Abe’s Visit to Iraq Was a Mystery

Yuan Ze

The current U.S. -Iraqi (Lang) relationship is at stake. But Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe offered himself to act as the "mediator" of us Iraqi conflicts. On June 12, Abe flew to Tehran for talks with Iraqi Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Ruhani. This year, on the 90th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Iran, the Japanese Prime Minister's visit to Iran after 40 years really aroused the interest and concern of the strategic academia.

Abe's visit to Iraq is aimed at reducing geopolitical risks, preventing war in the Gulf and enhancing energy security. However, the "heaven" of Japan-Iran relations is the U.S. sanctions against Iraq. Because next year the United States will usher in a general election, Trump is trying to win the second consecutive election. To this end, it is bound to suppress Iran and please pro-Israeli Christian evangelicals. If the United States urges Japan to maintain sanctions, Abe's mediation may be difficult to achieve.

Abe's mediation of US-Iraqi conflicts is to add new wine to the old bottle of "Overlooking Globe Diplomacy". Tokyo's intention is very clear: to actively participate in the mediation of international hotspots, to take the initiative to "take the lead", to "new activism supported by new diplomatic self-confidence", to shift more "actively and significantly" its diplomatic focus to Europe and Asia, to enhance the leadership of the international trade order and the independence of its own security policy, and to play a global strategic role. Sex, to avoid being "overtaken" by American diplomacy, gradually formed "independent diplomacy".

From the perspective of Japan's network resources, political relations, economic and trade cooperation and financial exchanges with the Middle East and even Asian countries, Tokyo is bound to find a point of convergence of interests, mediate the contradictions between bilateral relations and practice its housekeeping skills of dancing on several eggs. Such as mediating US-Turkey conflict, Isha friction and Indian-Pakistani conflict, strategically combining Indian-Iranian economic and trade cooperation, Indian-Vietnamese security cooperation and US-Philippine military cooperation, and providing the best service for "political power" with "independent diplomacy".

Since Abe took office in 2012 for about seven years, we can see the independence, flexibility, strategy and power of Abe's diplomacy from "burning incense" diplomacy to "trotting" diplomacy with Russia, from "throwing money" to "magnetizing" relations with Europe, and from "Abe's diplomacy". It can be said that this is the essence of "overlooking globe diplomacy" - Japan-US alliance is not only "autonomous diplomacy" of US relations. However, in view of the orientation of the "basic axis" of Japan-US relations in Japan's diplomacy, "independent diplomacy" is still a long way from the realm of "when there is a gap, there is nothing to do".

As far as Abe's "independent diplomacy" is concerned, the "way" of diplomacy is to make friends far and near, eliminate complaints and do good deeds; be consistent in words and deeds; eliminate barriers and resolve mutual doubts; accumulate mutual trust, control differences - repair Japan-Korea relations, break through Japan-DPRK relations, promote Japan-Russia relations, develop Japan-China relations, and work with neighboring countries. The road to peaceful development.

Fei Xiang

On June 6, 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China issued 5G commercial licenses to China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Radio and Television. China has officially entered the 5G era.

Ren Zhengfei, founder and President of Huawei Technologies Limited, said in an interview with the domestic media on the morning of May 31, 2019: "The 5G standard is very hot now, but it came from a teaching paper written by a Turkish professor more than 10 years ago. Later, we took this paper as the center, studied and analyzed step by step, and in 10 years we took this number. Thesis has become 5G standard. 5G is regarded as the infrastructure of the future key network and the development direction of the new generation of information technology. China has officially issued 5G commercial license, marking the first year of 5G commercial in China. Huawei said it has won 46 5G commercial contracts and will fully support Chinese operators to build 5G with end-to-end 5G capabilities.

Ren Zhengfei and his Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. have made great contributions to the coming of 5G era and the first year of 5G business in China. Ren Zhengfei, a famous entrepreneur, manages his business by properly handling three major relationships: scientific and technological cooperation and independent innovation; serving the country and embracing the world; and entrepreneurs and scientists.

The Connotation of Asia-Pacific Regional Economic Integration and the Process of APEC

—Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of APEC

Lu Jianren

APEC was born in November 1989, and it has been 30 years since then. The establishment and process of APEC have greatly promoted the development of economic integration and economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region. As a successful international multilateral organization, APEC has made positive contributions to promoting globalization, regionalization and multilateralism.

I. The Connotation of Regional Economic Integration in Asia-Pacific Region

We believe that regional economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region refers to the increasingly close economic and trade cooperation and economic integration process among the various economies in the Asia-Pacific region marked by APEC. This integration process promotes the economic integration among the various economies, makes the economic relations between them closer, promotes the economic growth of the members themselves, and also promotes the economic growth of the whole region. It is not only a process of reducing trade and investment barriers among member economies and strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields to promote economic growth, but also a state of economic cooperation, that is, with the deepening of economic cooperation, the gradual elimination of trade and investment barriers and discrimination, and the gradual harmonization of rules, member economies gradually. Gradually merged into one, and promoted the growth and development of the whole regional economy.

In view of the above definition, Asia-Pacific regional economic integration includes the following five states:

First, APEC member economies carry out various kinds of multilateral economic cooperation and functional cooperation in line with the purpose of "open regionalism", involving cooperation in many fields pursued by APEC.

Secondly, in order to promote trade and investment liberalization in the Asia-Pacific region, APEC has adopted voluntary unilateral and collective action plans to achieve the Bogor Goals.

The third is the process of institutional economic integration, which started in 2006 with the goal of establishing the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area (FTAAP), but has made slow progress so far.

The fourth is the various institutional sub-regions (including multilateral, plurilateral and bilateral) RTAs/FTAs that have been formed and are being formed within APEC.

The fifth is the "integration without agreement" existing in East Asia, which is neither institutional economic integration nor non-institutional integration like non-functional cooperation, but an international division-oriented economic integration formed spontaneously by the market.

II. The 30-year history and achievements of APEC

(1) Overview

APEC was founded in 1989 and has 21 members. By 2015, the total population of APEC was 2.8 billion, accounting for 39% of the world's population; the total gross domestic product accounted for 59% of the world's total; and trade accounted for 49% of the world's total, making it the largest regional economic cooperation organization in the world. Looking back on the development of APEC in the past 30 years, we can see that promoting trade and investment liberalization and regional economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region has always been the unchanged goal of APEC.

(2) Major achievements

In the past 30 years, APEC has made considerable achievements in promoting trade and investment liberalization and facilitation in the Asia-Pacific region, promoting economic and technological cooperation and promoting regional economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region.

First, it has promoted trade and investment liberalization in the Asia-Pacific region and basically achieved the requirements of the first phase of the Bogor Goal.

Second, it has facilitated trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region and made business easier and more convenient.

Third, it has promoted the process of regional economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region. APEC's contribution to Asia-Pacific regional economic integration is mainly in the following four aspects: First, it strengthens the economic and trade relations among its members. The second is to reduce trade barriers between members. Third, to promote the signing of free trade agreements among members. Fourth, promote the establishment of the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area.

Fourth, economic and technological cooperation should be carried out.

Fifth, contribute to global issues.

Prospects for Post-2020 Agenda

With the advent of 2020, APEC will also face a new mission after completing the second phase of the Bogor Goal. First, we should unswervingly promote the process of the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area (FTAAP). Secondly, we should promote the interconnection of the Asia-Pacific region. Third, the establishment of an inclusive Asia-Pacific Community.

Strengthening the Construction of Community Service System and Promoting the Reform of Social Governance at the Community Level

Yang Yiyong / Li Lu / Ji Jingyao

Community is an important carrier of social governance and livelihood security. The construction of urban and rural community service system is an important task to promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas and achieve inclusive and sustainable growth. In recent years, the state has continuously issued relevant policies in promoting the construction of the urban and rural community service system and the community service industry. It has made multi-faceted arrangements and clear requirements for the urban and rural community service mechanism, the layout of urban and rural community service facilities, the development pattern of urban and rural community service information, and the contingent of urban and rural community service personnel. It puts forward higher requirements for the docking of community service and service industry, that is, it is necessary to promote the role of community service in ensuring and improving people's livelihood in the process of population structure change. It is also necessary to promote community service to play the role of expanding domestic demand, promoting consumption, stabilizing employment and increasing income in the process of China's economy entering a new downward stage and facing the transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure. 

I. the present situation of the Construction of Urban and Rural Community Service system in China. 

(I) better community service facilities. 

First, in recent years, the number and coverage of urban and rural community service institutions in China have increased year by year. Second, the facilities of rural community service institutions are growing rapidly, and the gap between urban and rural areas is gradually narrowing. Third, the function of providing for the aged in community service is prominent. 

(B) the ability to serve the community is gradually enhanced. 

First, the content of community service is gradually rich. Second, the accessibility of community service is gradually increasing. Third, the forms of community service are gradually diversified. Fourth, the team of community service talents is gradually expanding. 

(3) continuous improvement of the community service guarantee mechanism. 

First, the urban and rural community service policy system has been continuously improved. Second, the multi-subject co-governance pattern of urban and rural community services, such as government, market, society, family and individual, has basically taken shape. 

II. Problems in the Construction of Urban and Rural Community Service system. 

Although the construction of urban and rural community service system has made some progress, it is undeniable that at the present stage, the construction of urban and rural community service system in China is still in its infancy, and the grass-roots community governance system is not yet perfect. The phenomena of lack of funds, lack of space, lack of facilities, shortage of personnel, non-docking of supply and demand are widespread. 

(1) the model of grass-roots community governance has not yet been formed. 

(2) the quality of urban and rural community services needs to be improved. 

(3) the ability to ensure community service in urban and rural areas needs to be strengthened. 

III. Suggestions on strengthening the Construction of Community Service system. 

China's grass-roots social governance system takes the community as the capital construction unit, innovating the community governance model and tamping the community service system is to realize the equalization of basic public services and implement the last kilometer of basic public services. Enhance residents' sense of acquisition, happiness, and the important protection of sense of security. 

(1) change the thinking of development and give full play to the role of the community in social governance at the grass-roots level. 

(II) Promotion of high standards, from an increase in the number of focus facilities to an improvement in the quality of services. 

(3) overall planning and efforts to enhance the security capacity of community services

The Dilemma of Global Governance System and the Community of Shared Destiny for Humankind

Lin Haihong

At present, with the rise of populism and anti-globalization worldwide, the global governance system maintained by western countries for many years is facing the risk of disintegration and reconstruction. Where and where does human society come to the crossroads again? Under the new situation, the global governance system urgently needs "creative transformation" to construct a new global political system. This paper intends to analyze the problems faced by the current global governance system, and on this basis, put forward some basic principles of the new global governance system.

I. Western-led global governance system encounters self-denial

Second, there are congenital defects in the Western-led global governance system

Specifically, there are three structural defects in the Western-led global governance system.

(1) The liberal global system is not free in essence.

(II) the liberalism global governance system and the country's goal are increasingly deviated (domestic politics influence the change of global governance system)

(3) The abuse of dominance in the global governance system by the West has led to a decline in the credibility of the existing system.

3. The World Calls for a New Global Governance System

(1) Power transfer has shaken the foundations of the Western-led global governance system.

(2) Global governance system should shift from hierarchical to parallel

In the global governance system, there are always two discourse systems: one is the hierarchical relationship advocated by western countries for a long time, and the other is the parallel world outlook advocated by developing countries, which emphasizes autonomy. To build a new global governance system, the general direction is to shift from a hierarchical system to a parallel global system. Specifically, the new global governance system should include the following two basic principles. First of all, it is recognized that sovereign states are the most basic actors in the global governance system. Secondly, development is the first priority of the global governance system.

Sino-Arab People-to-people Exchanges and Civilization Mutual Learning Since the Reform and Opening-up: Achievements, Significance and Challenges

Ding Jun

Introduction: Historical Review of Civilization Exchanges between China and Argentina

Friendly exchanges and cultural exchanges between China and Arab countries have a long and profound historical basis. The ancient Silk Road on the sea and land has closely linked Chinese civilization with Arab civilization. Through time and space, the two peoples treat each other sincerely, make friends on the ancient Silk Road, share weal and woe in the struggle for national independence, help each other on the journey of building a country, and learn from each other in deepening cultural exchanges and prospering national culture.

2. Achievements of Humanistic Exchange and Mutual Learning of Civilizations between China and Arab Countries since the Reform and Opening-up

Since the reform and opening-up, China and Arab countries have achieved three leaps and bounds in the development of human exchanges, from recovery to comprehensive development to accelerated development, namely, from 1978 to 2004, from 2004 to 2012, and from 2013 to 2018.

(1) Rapid recovery and development of Sino-Arab cultural exchanges driven by the spring breeze of reform and Opening-up

(2) The Sino-Arab Cooperation Forum has set up a new platform for Sino-Arab cultural exchanges in the 21st century.

(three) the "one belt and one way" initiative has injected strong impetus to Sino Arab cultural exchanges in the new era.

3. The Practical Significance of Sino-Arab Humanistic Exchange and Mutual Learning of Civilizations since the Reform and Opening-up

Over the past 40 years, Sino-Arab cultural exchanges have been an active exploration and great practice of mutual learning among different civilizations of contemporary mankind, and can be regarded as a model of contemporary world cultural exchanges. In the contemporary world, the "clash of civilizations" and "superiority of civilizations" are still prevalent, while China and Arab countries are actively committed to transcending the gap of civilizations through civilizational exchanges, transcending the clash of civilizations through mutual learning of civilizations, transcending superiority of civilizations through coexistence of civilizations, and setting a vivid example for exchanges and co-existence of human civilizations. It demonstrates the great wisdom of "harmony but difference and coexistence" of Oriental civilization.

(2) The Sino-Arab exchanges since the reform and opening-up have great practical significance.

Firstly, it promotes the mutual understanding between the Chinese and Arab peoples, and provides continuous spiritual nourishment for the continuous enhancement and development of political mutual trust and economic and trade exchanges between the two sides.

Secondly, it is the active exploration and great practice of mutual learning among different civilizations in the contemporary world, which embodies the concept of civilized exchanges between China and the developing countries of mutual respect, equality, mutual assistance and progress.

Thirdly, it has an important demonstration and guiding significance for promoting governance in the Middle East and reflecting change in global governance.

(3) Challenges of Sino-Arab Cultural Exchange and Mutual Learning of Civilizations in the New Era

Nowadays, bullying, unilateralism and populism are rampant, and zero-sum game of cold war thinking and the law of the jungle are once again prevalent. Under this situation, we need to realize clearly that there are still many difficulties and problems in Sino-Arab cultural exchanges and many challenges, such as mutual understanding of each other's culture and civilization; Research is insufficient, social cognitive deficit is prominent, knowledge supply is seriously inadequate; the degree of dialogue among civilizations is still not deep enough; the media coverage of each other is still inaccurate and comprehensive; in particular, various extreme forces deliberately create fault lines between different civilizations, and misleading and prejudices of international discourse hegemony are constantly exaggerated. "China Threat Theory", "China Expansion Theory" and "China Anxiety Disorder". They frequently raise the "Islamic Threat Theory" and "Islamophobia", spread various fallacies, distort the truth, mislead public opinion, and constantly set obstacles and misunderstandings for mutual recognition and friendly exchanges between the Chinese and Arab peoples, thus creating a trap of "clash of civilizations".

However, no matter how changeable the international situation is, as long as the two sides adhere to the Silk Road spirit of "peaceful cooperation, openness and tolerance, mutual learning, mutual benefit and win-win", and face the future, sincere cooperation, the prospects for Sino-Arab cultural exchanges will be extremely broad.

The Disintegration and Reshaping of the Islamic World by the Western International Order

Tian Wenlin

After entering modern times, European countries, with the historic opportunities brought by the great navigation and industrial revolution, have increasingly become the center of the world power arena, while the Islamic world has missed the train of the era of power transfer and has gradually turned from prosperity to decline. The Islamic world has lagged behind the Western world for only 200 years, but more changes have taken place in the West in the past 200 years than in the more than 2000 years from the ancient Greek and Roman times to the 18th century. With the military and economic strength of Western countries, the equal cross-cultural exchanges between the West and the Islamic world have become one-way infiltration of Western values into the Islamic world.

Among them, the influence of the western international system on the Islamic international system is complex and far-reaching. The reality of fragmentation of Europe's geopolitical territory determines the geopolitical strategy and strategic culture of the West/Europe. Its basic characteristics are "division": division, separation and separation. This characteristic has greatly influenced and shaped the geopolitical ecology of the Islamic world, which has brought about a series of serious consequences.

1. The Western deconstruction of the "imperial system" in the Islamic world with the "national state system", leading to the gradual disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, which coexisted with many nationalities.

2. Replacing "national state" with "sovereign state", leading to "small states" in the Arab world.

3. Challenge "Sovereign State Theory" with "New Interventionism" so that Middle East countries continue to suffer hegemonic bullying

Since modern times, under the continuous impact of the western international system, although the Middle East countries have followed suit and tried to imitate and adapt to the impact of the Western-dominated international system, they have always been "slow and half-beat" in the face of the Western pursuit of hegemony: the Ottoman Empire abandoned the Islamic world system which lasted for thousands of years in order to adapt to the European style. The principle of "One Nation, One Country" led to the final disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, which coexisted with many nationalities. When the independent Arab nation from the ruins of the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire tried to establish "Arab States" according to the principle of "One Nation, One Country", Britain and France, however, dismembered the Arab world in the way of "appointed rule", and made the Middle East prosperous. It has become a sovereign international system of "Balkanization"; when Arab countries have paid a great price and decided to abandon the dream of "national state" and barely adapt to the "sovereign state system" shaped according to the strategic interests of the West, the Western powers have also played various brands of new interventionism, constantly questioning and challenging "sovereignty is not". The principle of "tolerance of aggression" and even the system of sovereign states continue to ravage the Middle East countries by the Western hegemonic powers. This is the tragedy of the Middle East countries and the epitome of the tragic fate of many Asian, African and Latin American countries.

The New Trends in the Development of Taiwan-US Relations

Wang Jianmin/ Hu Shuhui

After taking office, Tsai ing-wen gradually established the strategy of "joining the United States to Fight Against mainland China," and against the background of US President Trump's trade war and science and technology war against China, Taiwan and the United States colluded with each other, warmed each other up and jointly confronted mainland China. The other day, Tsai authorities hyped their visits to the "transit" of the United States and the United States announced a high-profile arms sale to Taiwan. Taiwan-U.S. relations have once again warmed up, upsetting the situation in the Taiwan Strait.

The United States is playing "Taiwan card" to strengthen Taiwan's "chess" role

Under the policy of "containing China with Taiwan", the Trump Administration further adopted the policy of "supporting Tsai Ing-wen to fight against China" and played the "Taiwan card". There have been new trends and new changes in US-Taiwan strategy and US-Taiwan relations.

The United States will legalize Taiwan-related issues and expand the interaction between the two sides. 

The high profile and routines of American ships crossing the Taiwan Strait. 

The normalization of US arms sales to Taiwan. 

The United States intervenes in the election operations in Taiwan. 

Tsai ing-wen plays the "American card" and "unites the US against China" only for the sake of the interests of one party's selfishness and her own interests

Tsai ing-wen's strategy of "uniting the United States to fight against mainland China", especially the economic practice of "following the United States to contain mainland China", has received certain political rewards. The position of the United States in "supporting Taiwan" and "supporting Tsai Ing-wen" has become increasingly clear with allowing Tsai's "transit" in the United States. However, as a matter of fact, Tsai's "transit" activities in the United States are not so-called "great breakthroughs" or "great progress." Tsai ing-wen did not publicly meet any senior American officials and only talked to the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, by telephone. What is more, the goal of trying to address the United States Congress has not been achieved. 

Collusion between the United States and Taiwan will only increase the risk of the Taiwan Strait and make Taiwan pay a higher price 

Under the principle of "America first" and "America interests First", Tsai Ing-wen's economic policy did not exchange the "concessions" and tolerance of the U.S. to Taiwan's economy. Recently, the United States announced that it would impose high tariffs on imports of steel products from Taiwan, which gave Tsai ing-wen a slap.

At all costs, the Tsai authorities are actively striving for the purchase of the US arms, which will not only fail to save "Taiwan independence," but will only make Taiwan a cash machine for the United States, and Taiwan will continue to pay a huge economic price. 

We must also have a clear understanding that as long as the reunification are not completed, the United States will continue to drive a wedge between Chinese mainland and Taiwan, will continue to play the "Taiwan card" to contain China and make money through arm sales to Taiwan, and there will be political blackmail and economic extortion and no chance to resolve cross-Strait differences. The cross-strait relations and interests of the Chinese nation will be harmed, and the two sides of the strait will plunge into endless infighting. Therefore, only by speeding up the process of national reunification, ending the political opposition between the two sides of the strait, and realizing national reunification can we fundamentally put an end to the US "Containing China using Taiwan" strategy and truly realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
