In this military parade in Beijing, the "funniest" foreign president appeared and even wanted to bring several bags of potatoes to China. What on earth did he want to do? Start a live broadcast? Send Chinese high-level executives to eat?

According to reports from Belarusian official media, when Belarusian President Lukashenko visited local prefectures, indicating that several bags of potatoes have been packed, all of which are fresh and freshly harvested potatoes, all packed in gift boxes, and they will be taken to visit China as local products gifts to leaders of various countries. At a conference devoted to potato planting in Belarus, Lukashenko also introduced that this year's potato harvest in Belarus is very good, which can not only meet domestic needs, but also have spare capacity for export. It is reported that Lukashenko will attend the Tianjin Shanghe Summit, and then attend the Beijing military parade and other activities. What do you think of Lukashenko's behavior this time?

First, you may have heard of table tennis diplomacy and panda diplomacy, but this "potato diplomacy"In fact, the Belarusians are very fond of eating potatoes, the various dishes of potatoes can be seen everywhere on the table, the country's deep connection to potatoes can be seen from its amazing national consumption.

In international political exchanges, there are usually no especially valuable items.Otherwise, it will easily lead to controversy. For example, US President Trump received a plane, causing widespread controversy in the United States. However, potatoes may not even be considered a local specialty, but they can bring them closer to leaders of various countries.

Second, Lukashenko said that his country's potatoes can meet domestic demand and exportsAs soon as you hear it, you will understand that this is due to the overproduction of potatoes in Belarus, the oversupply, and your own people can't finish it. You plan to advertise your own country's potatoes, hoping that more countries can buy their own potatoes.

Third, this time he came to China, to participate in at least two events, Tianjin SummitThere is also the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the China People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Both are very important international multilateral diplomatic occasions. Many foreign leaders will come to participate in these two grand events, and media, attention and attention from all over the world will be concentrated here, and the exposure will be quite high. Lukashenko chose to conduct "potato diplomacy" on such an occasion, and the advertising effect was directly full.

In addition, it should be noted that those who participate in the SCO summit and those who participate in the parade in Beijing are not exactly the same, some people participate in the SCO summit, but do not participate in the parade.For example, Indian Prime Minister Modi, some only participate in the military parade but not the Shanghai Cooperation Summit, such as North Korea's top leader Kim Jong Un. Some people have to participate in both games, such as Russian President Vladimir Putin. It needs to be emphasized that Lukashenko himself will participate in these two activities, so Lukashenko needs to take the potatoes to Tianjin, but he cannot deliver them there. He also needs to leave some potatoes to take them to Beijing. It is best for the leaders of every country to deliver them. It is not that they are valuable, but because of the issue of face. Anyone who does not receive the potatoes will lose some face.
