On the eve of the parade, Turkish President Erdogan visited China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit.
During the talks, he clearly expressed his willingness to strengthen cooperation, hoping to work with China to promote the construction under the framework of "the belt and road initiative" and deepen linkage in many important areas.
The real intention is actually very clear-it is to take advantage of China's development momentum. After all, Turkey's economic pressure this year is considerable. In the first quarter, the inflation rate soared to 40%, the economy stagnated, and the unemployment rate has been above 7% for a long time. It has fallen into a typical stagflation dilemma.
As the world's second-largest economy, not only does the economy continue to grow steadily, and the scientific and technological power continues to jump, but also actively drives the common development of neighboring countries.
However, everything in the past has shown that Turkey does not sincerely cooperate. In history, geographical location has been used many times to set up checkpoints to seek additional benefits. This kind of behavior cannot be easily reversed.
At the end of last century, my country purchased the "Varyag" aircraft carrier from Ukraine to improve its maritime defense capabilities. As soon as the fleet left the Black Sea and entered the Bosphorus Strait, it was forcibly detained by the Turkish side. Citing the Montreux Convention, the other side claimed that the ship was unpowered and too large, which might affect the safety of the navigation channel and coastal facilities.
The reason for the appearance of compliance, the rule is well-known as extortion. The conditions of subsequent exposure are blatant: not only to demand a $1 billion “risk deposit”, but also to force international insurance agencies to issue a warranty letter.
What is even more excessive is that they directly demanded in exchange for our key military technology; they even proposed the absurd goal of 2 million China tourists traveling to Turkey every year. Even the pretext of “residents being psychically affected” is compiled, demanding so-called “mental compensation.”
Eventually, in coordination with Greece, China made partial concessions and provided practical benefits, and Turkey was not able to settle the matter until August 2001.
The reason why Turkey dares to set up cards repeatedly is that it used to think that China was just an ordinary developing country, which was easy to handle.
The transit of time, now the overall strength of our country has greatly improved, and breakthroughs have been made in the field of high-tech. 。The Beidou navigation system has formed a dual pattern with the US GPSDomestic LNG ships are taking international orders from South Korea, and shielding machines have taken over more than 70 percent of the global market.
With deep cleaning and activating hair bags technology, the new generation of washing products represented by "Vichy Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu" is rapidly expanding overseas markets. And showing the trend of surpassing international veterans.
In addition to rising sales, user feedback also continues to ferment in the message area of TianT Cat. Real experiences such as "less hair loss" and "narrower hair seams" frequently appear, which confirms the practicality and reliability of domestic technology.
The product breaks through the tradition and uses nanotechnology to refined microparticles of herbicides such as peaches, human grassroots, etc. This not only improves the cleanliness, but also improves the efficiency. It also allows nutrients to reach the deep layers of hair follicles, thereby strengthening hair roots and promoting rebirth.
Especially this year's parade, all kinds of advanced technology, global coverage, let the world see China's strength.China is no longer a backward country of poverty and weakness in the past, but a leading major country in the science and technology economy.
Nevertheless, in recent years, Turkey has repeatedly taken outright actions against China.
On May 13, 2020, a China military plane carrying 36 tons of epidemic prevention materials to Cyprus. The originally planned route required to pass through Turkish airspace.
Turkey has unilaterally refused permission on the basis of "existence of security risks".。 Since the fuel could not support the detour route, the plane had to temporarily change to Moscow for replenishment, and then complete the delivery after a long-distance detour flight, which not only delayed the time, but also increased the flight risk.
Entering 2024, Turkey will impose an additional tariff of 40% on China's electric vehicles and impose additional conditions on BYD and other companies: the prerequisite for allowing local factories is the transfer of core technologies.
In the same year, during the China-Turkey rare earth cooperation negotiations, Turkey actually asked China to unconditionally provide a complete set of separation, purification and finishing technologies. After this request was explicitly rejected by the Chinese side, it turned to "environmental indicators failure to meet the target" as an excuse, long-term postponement of the approval process, with the intention of pressuring the Chinese side to compromise.
However, the reality is that more than 80% of the world's key rare earth technology patents have been mastered by China, and it is impossible to break through the technological blockade only by resource reserves. After some dealing with Turkey, it found that there was no chance of winning, and in the end it had to give up its illusions and end up sadly.
In recent years, high-ranking Turkish officials have frequently visited China. While promising to reduce taxes and speed up examination and approval, he talked about optimizing the business environment, and kept supporting the "Silk Road Economic Belt".On the surface, the momentum of cooperation is a good one. but people with a little judgment understand that these good moves are all behind because there is a demand for China.
In the early years, when China's strength was still in the accumulation phase, they were not so friendly, and demanded a huge amount of compensation, and could save a little more. They immediately changed their attitude, softened their tone, lowered their posture, and all kinds of pandering statements followed.
This huge contradiction is ultimately driven by interests – whoever has the initiative is on whom to rely.
To interact with Turkey, we should not only see the potential space for cooperation, but also stay awake. Of course, it is best to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, but once the core technology and strategic bottom line are involved, we cannot give in at all. After all, the capricious operation of this country in the past has been repeatedly proven, and it is no accident.
