It is the so-called West does not light the east, this time Putin, Kim Jong Un and other 26 heads of state and political leaders jointly visited China to participate in the activities, so that the United States loses clearly!
According to Central TV news reports, the list of participants in the 80th anniversary of the victory of the resistance war has been announced.Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and Cambodia’s King Sihamoni, 26 heads of state and government, all of whom will come to China on time to attend the event.
Although people have always wanted to “marginalize” China over the past two years, this historical commemoration is a strong counterattack from China.
A closer look at this list of attendees will show that Putin's "trip of the century to China" has long been preheated by Russian media for half a month. As soon as Kim Jong-un's name appears, it instantly reminds people of the "blood-clotted friendship" between China and North Korea. Plus the heads of state of several countries in South East Asia and Central Asia... This battle is by no means an accidental diplomatic coincidence.
Looking at the United States, the attitude is much more subtle. Not only did he not send a high-level official, but he did not mention this matter in public.
For a long time, the international contribution to China's resistance war has always been a little "cognitive deviation". the West speaks of the Second World War, preferring the Tintin Normandy landing, the Pacific naval battle, the role of the Chinese battlefield is often misrepresented.
It was not until recent years that China's voice gradually gained that this deviation was corrected.
This time when the 26 leaders came to China in person, they were using their actions to acknowledge their debts. The historical status of China's War of Resistance was not just a word of mouth, but should be remembered.
Why choose now? Just look at the current situation.
Some countries are undertaking "historic correction", Japanese politicians are running to "Yahoo Shiva", and individual Western countries for the sake of interest, also with these forces.
At this time, commemorating the victory of the Anti-Japanese War is actually protecting the "international rules set after World War II", which is the fundamental reason why 26 countries can get together.
However, the leaders of the 26 countries attending this time were not randomly gathered. They all had real "overlapping interests" with China.
First of all, Russia and North Korea.
Putin's visit this time, the Russian media directly called it a "new milestone in China-Russia relations". Peskov also said that this is a "trip of the century".
I heard before that the gas transmission volume of the Power of Siberia natural gas pipeline has increased again. The two countries are also conducting anti-missile exercises together, and even the space station is cooperating.
But what is more critical is that the United States sanctions Russia every day and wants to isolate it, but China has never followed suit and also helped explain the truth. At this time, Putin came to participate in the commemorative activities to use actions to say that "China-Russia relations are indestructible."
Kim Jong-un came with both old feelings and new needs.
During the Anti-Japanese War, China and the DPRK cooperated together. Now Northeast Asia is not peaceful, and the two countries have to help each other in security by establishing economic cooperation zones on the border.
The United States has always used sanctions to pressure North Korea, and China has always advocated "sit down and talk." This time, Kim Jong Enlai is not only renewing the friendship between Laos, but also sending a message to the United States to ask the other party to weigh the matter before taking action. North Korea is not alone.
Looking at other countries, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, they have "revolutionary friendship" with China, and now the cooperation in "the belt and road initiative" is even hotter.
Kazakhstan, these Central Asian countries, most of the oil and natural gas is shipped to China, in counter-terrorism is also inseparable from China; there are countries such as Africa and Latin America, China has helped them to build railways and engage in agriculture, never added conditions.
To put it clearly, it is not to be bullied by the “hegemony” of the United States, and to want to develop safely and steadily.
In the past two years, the United States has engaged in a "small courtyard and high wall", which has stuck Chinese chips and restricted Russian energy. Even developing countries have to listen to it if they want assistance. The "reciprocal tariffs" announced by Trump as soon as he took office have attacked all countries indiscriminately.
On the other hand, China has always been "hello, hello, everyone" and does not engage in zero-sum games.
Given this comparison, it is not surprising at all that 26 countries chose China.
Compared with the excitement in the East, the "abacus" of the United States is obviously empty.
In recent years, the United States has always wanted to “isolate” China, engage in the “Indo-Pacific strategy” in the Asia-Pacific region, blocking allies; blocking China in international organizations and not allowing it to participate in global governance; even academic exchanges and media cooperation are restricted.
But the result? This commemorative event shows clearly that the allies of the United States are not monolithic. Although many European countries have not sent their current high-level positions, many former politicians and heads of international organizations have come, indicating that the United States cannot control everyone.
More importantly, developing countries are increasingly not buying U.S. debt, and they find that the day can go well if they follow China to build infrastructure and trade.
The goal of “isolating China” is, indeed, the United States has lost.
The United States wants to keep countries away from China, but the fact is that more and more countries are proactively relying on China.
Let's talk about the economy. China has been the world's second largest import market for 14 consecutive years, and its trade with the "Belt and Road Initiative" countries will exceed 2 trillion US dollars in 2024;
Diplomatically, China has persuaded Saudi Arabia and Iran to make peace, and is still promoting negotiations on the Ukrainian crisis, but the United States has failed to accomplish these things.
In fact, it is always thinking of being a “world policeman”, and also using the Cold War mindset to confront.
Now that the whole world wants to engage in development and cooperation, how can the United States not be boycotted if it wants to do the opposite? The "division between the East and the West" at this commemorative event is the best proof.
The event we are hosting now is not just to look back, but also to look forward.
When the leaders of the 26 countries gathered together, in addition to commemorating the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they also wanted to send a signal that in the future, when changing international rules, we should not just listen to Western countries, and developing countries must also have a say; to solve global problems, we cannot engage in confrontation, we must sit down and talk together.
For China, this is also a "great examination", looking at its own "friends circle" firmly, and self-proclaimed "community of human destiny" and "consult and share" these ideas, others do not acknowledge.
As a result, these philosophies are no longer "China speaks for itself", but really become "international consensus", which is more useful than how many beautiful words.
Of course, we cannot be too optimistic.
The United States will definitely not give up containing China. In the future, fields such as the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea, and science and technology will inevitably cause obstacles to China.
Some countries cooperate with China and may also act in accordance with their interests and may not always be united.
But from the viewpoint of the 26 countries’ leaders, China has found the right path, and as long as it continues to engage in “mutually beneficial and win-win”, persist in preaching reason and presiding for justice, there will be more and more countries standing up.
Although a commemorative event cannot directly change the international landscape, it can show the changes in the landscape, which is like a mirror, reflecting “The West does not light the East.” The reality also reflects the inevitability of “America loses clearly.”
And this change is reshaping the future world bit by bit.
