September 3,Beijing will hold military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people's war against JapanThe scale is large, the specifications are also high, but some places are empty, quite noticeable.

None of the leaders of eight countries: the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea came.Especially Japan and KoreaAs China's Asian neighbors, they are even more conspicuous when they don't come.

This military parade will be attended by 26 foreign heads of state and government. In addition, everyone is most concerned about it.Or the eight countries that didn't come¡£

Western countries basically use "the schedule can't be arranged" as the reason¡£

U.S. President Trump wants to meet with the new President of Poland at the White House, German Chancellor Mertz canceled a hearing related to China investment, and the U.S. Pentagon also picked the day to release a military report on the Indo-Pacific region.

This time the collective didn¡¯t come, the United States as a ¡°coordinator.¡±Through diplomatic channels, it sent a message to its allies, that is, don't go to China's military parade

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said that because "the security bill is being discussed in the country and cannot leave." South Korean President Lee Jae-myung sent a speaker of the National Assembly to attend, but this level was significantly lower.

The change in attitude of Li Zaiming is most strange. When he first took office, he was still very nice to China.It is very clear that "Taiwan is part of China" and does not support the Korean administration of the Taiwan region.

But this time, he refused the invitation.He first went to Japan to meet with the Prime Minister, then again to the United States to meet with the President.

On the surface, they are concerned that China's military parade is too military. Western media have said that large-scale military parades will raise tensions in the region and are not good for peace and stability.

This statement makes no sense at all.Western countries themselves often engage in various military exercises and military parades, like the Independence Day military parade in the United States and the National Day military parade in France.

But as soon as China parades, they question,This double standard shows that they are hypocritical¡£German Foreign Minister Belbeck also recently said that China's safeguarding of its rights and interests in the Taiwan Strait, the East China Sea and the South China Sea would pose a threat to European security.

Compared to the eight countries.Southeast Asian countries have almost an all-star lineup.¡£ The top leaders of Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and other countries all came to China and said they supported China.

Cambodia also upgraded this visit to a state visit, which must be said to be really helpful.¡£The leaders of Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia rushed to Beijing just after attending the SCO summit in Tianjin. This kind of "twin-city diplomacy" is rare.

This is different from a few years ago.

At that time, Malaysia only sent envoys and Indonesia only sent ministers. Now,All six countries in South East Asia are personally attended by national leaders, set a record for Southeast Asia to participate in the China military parade.

So the leaders of Southeast Asia dare to support China.Because they have a relationship with China.China has been ASEAN's largest trading partner for 14 consecutive years.

Indonesian President Prabhupada has also signed an agreement on the downstream processing of uranium mines, referring to Beijing as his first visit since taking office.The Malaysian government has resumed the East Coast Railway project and has also received low-interest loans from China.

The trade volume between Vietnam and China is also high, and Vietnam's trade surplus is also small.With these benefits, Vietnam has chosen to cooperate

Western countries didn't come,It is more like an economic and political contradiction.¡£The German auto industry is feeling pressure on China's electric vehicles, and France does not know how to choose between submarine orders and the China market.

So between interests and political positions, not coming is the easiest way. Because of history and current choices, Japan is a little lacking in confidence.

South Korea always wants to be good on both sides, but the result seems wavering.And the West is more of a mental problem, they don't want to see China as a powerful, they use "not come" to express their attitude.

Russian President Vladimir Putin came and stayed for four daysThis is the longest time he has been out since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

This is not just to participate in the military parade, but also to illustrate the deep cooperation between China and Russia. During this visit, Putin mainly wanted to promote the construction of the Siberian Power Pipeline 2, which would also be settled in his own currency.

These collaborations are important to both parties, andChina is an important partner of Russia.¡£

China makes parades in order to remember history, commemorate Priority, and cherish peace.This is China's own business and does not need the consent of other countries.

Those countries that have not come missed the opportunity to understand China and increase trust.And the real power lies in our own strength and in the lives of our people, not in how many foreign leaders come.

In this military parade, the Russian president came for four days. Almost all Southeast Asian leaders came, and the Indonesian president even regarded Beijing as his first visit after taking office.

Behind the economic data are the profits.China has been ASEAN's largest trading partner for 14 consecutive years, and the trade volume between the two sides is very large¡£

The German automotive industry feels Chinese electric vehicles are under pressure, while France is hesitant between submarine orders and the Chinese market.After all, there are interests behind political choices.

Of course, international relations are constantly changing, and failure to come today does not mean no cooperation tomorrow¡£There are no permanent friends or enemies between nations, only permanent interests.
