Trump Cracks Down on 75 Countries, But Spares China? UK Media: China Is Now Happy!
Trump Has Another Big Move! According to reports from multiple American media outlets: an official from the U.S. Department of State said that the Trump administration will suspend all visas for 75 countries. Note, this includes all types of visas. The executive order will take effect starting from the 21st of this month, but it is not yet clear when it will end.
The source said: The reason why the U.S. government is doing this is to conduct a security assessment. In short, because the United States has too many enemies abroad, especially with the potential war with Iran that could start at any time, so for the sake of domestic security, it has no choice but to do so.
What is particularly worth mentioning is that among these 75 countries are Russia, Brazil, Thailand, Yemen, etc., but China is not included. As a result, some comments directly say: Is Trump deliberately letting China off the hook?
Is it really "a good intention to let China off the hook"? Of course not!
In short, Trump just doesn't want to offend China at this time. At present, both the Republican Party and Trump's personal support rates are continuously declining. If the Republicans lose in this year's midterm elections, Trump will be impeached by Democrats immediately. Therefore, to raise his support rate, Trump must quickly end the global trade war and repair relations with China. In this situation, his visit to China in April this year is very important, so he definitely can't afford to completely offend China now.
Regarding Trump's recent actions, including suddenly leaving several groups, the former editor-in-chief of the Washington branch of the UK's Financial Times, Lus, published a comment article, saying: "There has never been a major power in history that would actively give up its global leadership like the United States. Now China is happy!"
Lus believes that while the United States is constantly decoupling from the world, China is strengthening its connections with countries around the globe, and China's soft power is experiencing unprecedented growth. A best example is: recently, several traditional U.S. allies have chosen to visit China. For example, French President Macron, and Canada's Prime Minister Kan, who is currently visiting China!
In summary, Trump has his own strategy for national development, but no matter how his strategy changes, it cannot hide the essence of hegemonism. More details, let us continue to pay attention.
