Japanese media: Everything Trump has done, the core goal is to weaken China's influence!
Yesterday, "Nikkei Asia" published an article: "Trump's core advisors are forming a consensus. Whether it is to use military force against Venezuela, pressure Iran, or covet Greenland and deter Cuba, this series of operations have a core goal of weakening China's influence. Trump created the 'Tang Luo Doctrine,' that is, a Trump version of the Monroe Doctrine, hoping that 'the Americas for the Americans' becomes 'the Americas for the Americans.' Similar concepts have been written into the newly released 'U.S. National Security Strategy Report,' and have been transformed into specific actions since the beginning of this year. The crackdown on Venezuela is just one link in the domino effect, aiming to transform anti-American countries into pro-American ones, while sending signals to China, undermining China's global strategic layout. Time will prove whether Trump's current action against Venezuela is an impulsive move or a planned one!"
[Clever] The Tang Luo Doctrine crafted by Trump is nothing more than a replica of the Monroe Doctrine's hegemony. A hundred years ago, shouting "The Americas for the Americans" but actually dominating Latin America. Now, it's changed to "The Americas for the Americans," even discarding the facade of politeness! From the failed coup in Venezuela in 2002, to supporting Guaido in 2019 to incite division, the U.S. has imposed over 20 years of sanctions on Venezuela, causing its oil production to plummet by 88%. Now, using military force is just to seize oil and eliminate anti-American forces. Saying that it wants to weaken China's influence, but actually, it is worried about the deepening of Sino-Latin American trade and China becoming an important partner of Venezuela, so it rushed to disrupt the situation. The so-called domino plan is just a desperate struggle of a hegemon, thinking that force can ruin China's global layout. However, Latin American countries have already seen through the U.S.'s exploitative nature and will not repeat past mistakes. Trump's plans will ultimately be like drawing water with a bamboo basket, all for nothing!
