[Floating clouds] At the just-concluded "Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit", Trump said,"Egypt has the oldest civilization in the world, 6000 years old, China has 5000 years old, China is out, and Egypt is the first."
At the "Sham Sheikh Peace Summit" held in Egypt, the words of U.S. President Trump caused a lot of discussion, he mentioned that Egypt has a 6000-year civilization, China has a 5000-year civilization, and also came up with a "China exit".
But those who are familiar with history know that the numbers of the years of these two civilizations are not very accurate, relying on the historical data, the Egyptian civilization is probably about 5100 years, and the Chinese civilization by archaeology confirmed about 4200 years, Trump said the date is obviously exaggerated.
In addition to talking about the years of civilization, Trump's interaction with Egyptian President Sisi has also attracted considerable attention. The two seemed very close when they met. During the summit, Trump also received the "Nile Medal" awarded by Egypt.
This medal is not ordinary. It is the highest honor Egypt gives to foreigners. It has rarely been awarded to American politicians before. This time, Trump can get it, and many people feel that there is a profound meaning behind it.
Why does Trump want to “spit water” in the years of civilization, and go so close to Egypt? combined with the recent situation in the Middle East, there may be his diplomatic plan.
The Middle East region is not peaceful now. The conflict between Israel and Palestine has not stopped yet. Many countries are seeking stable cooperative relations. Trump has always wanted to occupy an important position in Middle East affairs. This time, he exaggerated the years of Egyptian civilization, probably because he wanted to give Egypt "put on a high hat" and shorten the distance so that Egypt will be more inclined to the United States in subsequent Middle East cooperation.
To say "China is out" is more like deliberately creating confrontation, trying to let Middle Eastern countries choose sides between China and the United States, paving the way for the diplomatic layout of the United States in the Middle East.
However, there are many problems with this practice. First of all, history is history, and you can't change numbers casually for your own purposes. Remarks that violate historical facts can easily mislead people, especially for ordinary people who don't know the detailed history.
Moreover, deliberately creating confrontation between countries is likely to make the already complex situation in the Middle East more tense. Now Middle Eastern countries need cooperation and support more than being pulled into confrontation.
Looking at the “Nile Medal” that Trump has won, Egypt has its own considerations, and Egypt, as an important country in the Middle East, needs the support of the great powers to stabilize its domestic economy and regional status.
The United States has always been an important donor to Egypt, and Egypt may want to consolidate its relations with the United States and strive for more practical interests by awarding Trump a medal.
However, this practice has also plunged Egypt into controversy, and many people worry that Egypt will lose its diplomatic flexibility and be tied to the United States 'diplomatic chariot.
In fact, no matter which country it is, the development of international relations must be based on facts and mutual respect. History cannot be used as a diplomatic bargaining chip and changed casually, and countries should not engage in confrontational tactics.
Now the world is concerned about win-win cooperation, and the Middle East needs to solve problems, and countries need to sit down and talk well, rather than to their own goals by boasting big facts and creating contradictions.
Ordinary people look at this, do not be confused by surface words and actions, just remember that no matter which country’s leaders speak, we can think more in contrast to the facts, do not easily believe those unfounded statements.
No matter how complex international relations are, they still have to end up letting ordinary people live a good life. Only those practices that can promote cooperation and bring stability deserve support.
Respect history to see clearly the present, reason to go far in the future, this is the way countries should deal with.
