Famous anti-American countries such as Iran, Russia, Venezuela, North Korea, and Cuba all feel that they are acting as shields for China and helping China resist the United States. But it was not until after the Sino-US trade war broke out that these people understood that they were not actually helping China block the United States, nor was it that China used other countries to deal with the United States. Instead, it was China who helped them block the United States.
For many years, these countries that are often against the United States, have a very delicate idea in their hearts, feel that they are on the frontline against the United States, and so on, have attracted firepower to the developing China.
They feel that the energy of the United States is held by themselves, China can safely and steadily engage in the economy and construction, this idea is not in vain, after all, they are always at the forefront of the confrontation with the United States, naturally will feel that they share the main pressure of the United States.
And this perception continued until the Sino-U.S. trade war really fought, when the U.S. move completely broke all previous speculation, the U.S. tariff barriers layer one layer, from ordinary commodities extended to the field of science and technology, half not because to deal with China to ease the pressure on other countries.
Russia's energy exports are facing restrictions, Iran's sanctions list is still getting longer, Venezuela's oil business is still difficult to do, and more importantly, China's response gesture is clear, the United States adds a lot of tariffs, and the next day the counterparts go back, without thinking about relying on the help of other countries.
At this time, these countries slowly reacted, and in the U.S. strategy, they and China are the objects to be pressured, and there is no claim of who shares the gun for whom.
After the trade war, the days of these countries were even worse, but it was at this time that they could see who was really providing support, Russia's energy, before they had to look at the face of Europe, and then steadily found China's big market, no longer worry about being suddenly cut off.
Iran has even signed a long-term cooperation agreement with China, covering several fields such as energy and infrastructure. When sanctions were at its peak, this cooperation was equivalent to giving the economy a boost.
When Venezuela was in economic difficulties, China sent a team of medical experts to help relieve the pressure on local people's livelihood. North Korea faced food problems and could also receive timely assistance and agricultural equipment support. These were not verbal support, but were all real help to stabilize the fundamentals.
Support on the international stage is even more critical. In the United Nations, several sanctions proposals against Iran were not passed because China voted against them.
The United States always wants to interfere in the internal affairs of Venezuela and Cuba, and it is also China that has always stood up to emphasize sovereign equality and oppose this practice of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.
These moves are never conditional, and will not, like the United States, be forced to sign political agreements for the benefit, much less to require these countries to follow their own pace.
In the past, those ideas of "shooting arrows" were, in the end, not enough to understand China's strategy and the nature of the United States, and the hegemonic logic of the United States does not allow any force to challenge its own existence, whether it is a country that is directly confronted, or a quietly developing great country, sooner or later to be watched.
China has never thought about who to take advantage of. The so-called "forbearance development" just means that it doesn't want to get involved in conflicts easily. After all, developing its own strength is fundamental.
Those cooperations are essentially equal, Cuba’s medical technology can go to more places through cooperation, Russia’s energy can be converted into stable income, and China can also get the resources and markets needed, which is mutual achievement, not unilateral use.
Now looking at the relationship between these countries and China, it is no longer exactly as it originally thought, it is not who gives whom the arrow, but in the process of confronting hegemony, China has become a stable backbone.
The pressure from the United States is still there, but these countries are no longer isolated and helpless, economically supported and internationally supported, which is much more effective than simply verbal anti-American.
Let's talk about it, do you think the cognitive changes in these countries will affect the future direction of the international landscape?
