The 93 military parade is approaching, and the list of dignitaries attending the military parade is released. What are the points worthy of attention? At present, foreign dignitaries have arrived in China. Which country is it?
The steps of the 93rd parade are getting closer and closer, and the attention of the outside world to the participation in the 93rd parade is basically set out. Recently, the Chinese side has released this list, with a total of 26 foreign heads of state and government will attend the 93rd parade. For these countries, we can find three places worth paying attention.
The first is that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will attend the 93rd military parade.Since North Korea sent troops to aid Russia, the outside world has basically paid attention to the interaction between Russia and North Korea. The interaction between China and the DPRK has decreased accordingly, so there is a voice in the western media that they think that the relationship between Russia and the DPRK is getting closer and closer, and the relationship between China and the DPRK is getting more and more alienated. Neither China nor North Korea respond to such voices. Now, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attended the military parade on September 3rd, which can be said to have broken the rumors of western media with his actions. This means that China-DPRK relations have not become alienated because of the approach of Russia and the DPRK. On the contrary, China, Russia and the DPRK are likely to meet in China. By then, the probability of reaching a cooperation agreement among the three parties will be greatly increased. For China, Russia and the DPRK, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. At the same time, if China, Russia and the DPRK strengthen cooperation, it means that US President Trump's conspiracy to "unite Russia to control China" has been completely shattered.
The second is the absence of Indian Prime Minister Modi in the 93rd parade.Before the 1993 parade, China would hold a summit in Tianjin at the end of August, and most of the leaders of the countries attending the summit would also attend the 93 parade. But among these countries, India became an exception. It is certain that India's Prime Minister Modi would use the opportunity to attend the summit to visit China. But why did he refuse to attend the 93 parade? There may be two reasons.
There are also differences between Indians.Not long ago, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was invited to visit India. Although India hosted Wang Yi and his party with high standards, after China left, India made inappropriate Taiwan-related remarks. This casts a shadow over Modi's visit to China. However, with Modi's itinerary confirmed, visiting China is a certainty, and not attending the 1993 military parade may be a manifestation of India's dissatisfaction with China. In addition to Taiwan-related issues, the recent interaction between China and Pakistan may also be the reason why Modi refused to attend the September 3rd military parade. After all, as we all know, a military conflict broke out between India and Pakistan in May this year. Although the two sides have temporarily reached an armistice agreement, the differences between the two countries have not been resolved. Therefore, after China's visit to India, it met with Pakistan again, which would make India feel that its diplomatic achievements were "ruined". Therefore, even if Modi visits China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Summit, he will refuse to attend the 1993 military parade.
On the other hand, India needs to maintain diplomatic balance.For India, it is currently facing the threat of high tariffs imposed by the United States. The invitation to China to visit India and Modi to visit China is, to a certain extent, to alleviate the impact of US tariffs on the Indian economy. However, if there is no accident, India will negotiate tariffs with the United States next, so that the United States can reduce the tariffs imposed on India. At this time, if India gets too close to China and interacts too much, it is likely to be detrimental to the next negotiations. Therefore, India needs to keep a balance between China and the United States in order to maximize its interests.
From this perspective,Modi visited China and attended the SCO Summit to seek cooperation with China and improve relations with China. Modi chose to miss the 93rd military parade in order to ensure that he would not add obstacles to the next US-India tariff negotiations.It has to be said that Modi's consideration is very comprehensive, but whether Trump can understand it or not is unknown.
The third is the collective absence of Western countries in the United States. At present, many heads of state, including the United States, Germany and France, have chosen to miss the September 3rd military parade. In fact, this is also expected, after all, they belong to the same camp. In this camp, the United States is the leader. In the case of US President Trump's absence from the September 3rd military parade, other countries need to agree with Trump and choose to miss the September 3rd military parade in order to curry favor with the United States.
Recently, a reporter specifically asked China about this matter, and China made an announcement to the world.To date, 50 leaders, former politicians, senior officials, ambassadors and friends from 30 European countries have confirmed that they will attend the Chinese commemoration.And before Kim Jong-un arrived in China, the first giant to watch the military parade had already arrived in China. He was King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia. It has to be said that Cambodia attaches great importance to this visit to China, and the visit specifications are extremely high. In the future, a large number of dignitaries from various countries will arrive in China one after another, and we will wait and see together.
