At the United Nations General Assembly on September 23, Trump contributed a lot of scandalous speeches and laughter to the world, but after his generous "blasphemy" around the world, China directly announced that it would give up a special treatment.
Trump's speech at the UN General Assembly, captured from the UN website
According to the observer network, on September 23, U.S. President Trump delivered a speech at the United Nations headquarters in New York, which is said to be "gold words" frequent and "laughter" continuously.
As soon as Trump came up, he boasted that under his leadership, the United States has rapidly risen from the economic malaise of the Biden era to a country with the strongest economy, borders, military, friendship and spirit in the world. He directly declared that the United States has returned to the "golden age".
What's interesting about this is that Trump said that the United States has the strongest economy in the world, but the United States owes the largest United Nations dues, up to $3 billion, and more than 25 million in WTO dues. From this point of view, a country with the strongest economy in the world like the United States shouldn't even be able to get this dues, right?
Trump says the U.S. has the strongest border in the world, but the U.S. is the largest illegal immigrant country in the world.The U.S. has the strongest military in the world, but its strongest friendship should have been during the Biden period, in terms of spirit ... it depends on how the U.S. defines it.
[Trump said that after he re-took office, the United States became the country with the most powerful economy and the most powerful border in the world …]
Trump also said he had ended seven “unending” wars in just seven months without the help of the United Nations, saying no president or prime minister could do anything like that.
Trump has counted the conflict in India, Iraq and Cambodia as three since he took office, and he claimed that he could end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 24 hours, the result of almost a year has not been realized.
After the ceasefire of the India-Pakistan conflict, India refused to recognize Trump's mediation, insisting that India and Pakistan resolved it through consultation on their own. He did intervene in the other two conflicts, but most of them were thunder and rain. I don't know which conflicts he's talking about for the rest.
He then began to “blame” the UN for not acting, saying the UN did not play half a role in resolving the Russian-Ukrainian issue. Then he said the UN was wasting too much money, and he came to the General Assembly to attend the speech and provided him with only one functional faulty elevator and two vocabulary.
Trump says he ended seven incredible wars in seven months
Um... Is it possible that all what Trump said was caused by the United States? Aren't the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Gaza issue all obstructed by the United States, preventing all parties in the United Nations from reaching a consensus? Also, isn't this "poor jingle" of the United Nations also caused by the huge arrears of the United Nations dues by the United States?
Trump "scolded" the United Nations, and then began to "scold" western countries. He said that western countries didn't control their borders well, resulting in a large influx of illegal immigrants. As a result, western countries are now full of good and evil people.
Then he changed the subject again and talked about China and India. He said it was precisely because China and India continued to buy Russian oil that they indirectly "funded" this war. Suddenly he "pointed his gun at himself" and said that NATO countries did not cut off too much energy supply from Russia, which was shameful.
He also mentioned the successive recognition of Palestine by western countries in the last two days. He said that although most countries have recognized Palestine, I said that you are a minority and you are a minority.
When Trump talked about the issue of illegal immigration at the U.S. border he ruled, the representative of a country in Taiwan could not hear the expression of boredom on his face.
Finally, he mentioned the issue of clean energy. He said that "climate warming" is the biggest scam of this century. Many people die in Europe every year because they can't afford air conditioning. He said that in the White House, we call coal "clean and beautiful coal."
In short, Trump spoke a lot, from praising his performance to blaming the United Nations, to blaming China, blaming European countries, and even blaming humanity for common concerns.
Once and again, Trump has drawn down the world’s awareness of the President of the United States with his miserable discourse. Just after Trump’s speech, China’s rise to power immediately announced a heavy message – “China will give up a special treatment.”
The Chinese side said that China, as a responsible developing power, will no longer seek new special and differential treatment in current and future WTO negotiations.
It is an important measure for China to firmly safeguard the multilateral trading system and actively implement the globalization development initiative and the global governance initiative. It will surely inject a shot in the arm into promoting the liberalization and facilitation of global trade and investment, and will surely inject positive energy into the reform process of the global economic governance system.
The decision made by China concerns the future direction of China's development and the development direction of developing countries, but it is not a casual choice.
This means that China actively abandoned the special treatment offered by the WTO to developing countries in a direct response to the long-standing accusations that developed countries such as the US and Europe have “abused” special and discriminatory treatment of China as the world’s second-largest economy, which has led to the WTO negotiations in a standstill.
China's proactive abandonment of this special treatment will push the WTO reform out of the hassle, and one of the core disputes of the current WTO reform is the recognition of the membership of developing countries and the applicability of special and discriminatory treatment provisions.
Former US Trade Representative Appreciates China's Decision
For example, the United States and European countries think that China has "stepped out of its status as a developing country" and become a veritable "developed country", so it should not continue to enjoy the special treatment of WTO for developing countries.
But in fact, because of China's large population base and uneven economic development levels among different regions, China has actually always claimed to be a developing country, and the WTO has not clearly defined this, and it has always relied on the self-declaration of member countries.
Therefore, when the US and European countries are faced with such a rapid development rate as China, but the GDP per capita is not too high, it is extremely unbalanced in their hearts, and therefore demands that the WTO promptly promote reforms to clearly define the method of identification of membership.
China’s proactive announcement of giving up this treatment does not mean that China has officially become a developed country, and China has the right to claim that it is a developing country, and will always be a member of the “global south”, forever standing together with developing countries.
At the same time, China's decision this time means that China will carry out reform and opening up at a higher level in the future, open up more domestic markets and actively embrace the international economy.
This event marked China’s transition from a participant in the WTO rules to a rule maker, pushing the WTO to advance in a direction that favors multilateralism and is more equitable and reasonable.
