The Queen died, the Commonwealth disintegrated?

After Britain's longest time for monarch Elizabeth II, discussions on the future of the Commonwealth were ignited again. The analysis believes that the death of the queen may promote some British Federal countries to speed up their re -evaluation of the relationship between the British royal family, and discuss a foreign rulers such as the use of their own people instead of the British monarch.

Several analysts said in an interview with the Global Times reporter that the death of the Queen will trigger further thinking about the meaning of the British Federation. It will make the Federation's prospects more dim.

Outside the United Kingdom, 14 countries respect the British monarch as their official heads of state. These countries include Australia, New Zealand and Canada, as well as several Caribbean and Pacific islands, mostly in the former British colonies or protectors. After Queen Elizabeth II died, Charles III became the British monarch. Some opinions believe that with the ascending king of Charles III, who is "not so high", people who advocate the republic will have greater motivation and face lower risks when promoting their claims.

"Whether it is the charm of personal image or the faithful performance of its responsibilities, Elizabeth II's long -term reign plays a role in maintaining and stabilizing the existence of the Commonwealth system." The China Institute of International Institute of International Issues Research Institute Chang Cui Hongjian told the Global Times reporter that the death of the Queen may become a "watershed", which triggered the rethinking of the meaning of the Commonwealth in many countries and seeking out of this system.

The Caribbean countries are the first to convey a region that re -evaluate signals with Britain and British Federation. A few days ago, Antigua and Papoda Prime Minister Giston Brown said that the country will hold a referendum within 3 years to become a republic with the British monarchy. In an interview with the media, he said: "This problem needs to be resolved by a referendum. The referendum is not the difference between the Antigua and the monarchy, but the last step of our independence to ensure that we become a true sovereign country. ","

However, Antigua and Babuda are not the first to seek the Caribbean countries to be separated from the British monarchy. In September last year, the Caribbean National Barbados Parliament passed the amendment of the law and completely ended the connection between the country and the British royal family. It no longer acknowledged the Queen Elizabeth as the head of the country and restructured into the Republic. This decision came into effect on the 55th anniversary of the country's 55th anniversary. Barbados became the first country to abandon the British monarch in the past three decades. According to public reports, several other Caribbean countries, including Yaocai, are also preparing for the connection with the British royal family.

"I think the above phenomenon is an inevitable." Zhou Zhiwei, deputy director of the International Relations Office of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times reporter. From Barbadus, to Jamaica, to Antigua, Buda, and even even There are countries such as Beliz and Bahamas, and the former British colonies in the Caribbean have shown the idea of ​​seeking "separation from the British monarchy". This is an expected thing that will happen sooner or later. He believes that this is an important political trend in the region, and it is also the embodiment of the people's awareness of defending their dignity in the region.

From the perspective of this Chinese expert, the actions of the Caribbean countries reflect the demands of pursuing political autonomy and political development. There are voices in these countries that the British monarchs are "historical marks in the colonial period" and will inevitably face more and more resistance and challenges in modern society. In March of this year, when Prince William couple visited Belize, Jamaica, and the Bahamas, their schedule accompanied Britain to apologize and compensate for the Britain as a slave trafficking in history.

"As the role of the monarchy changes, we expect this to be an opportunity to promote compensation for compensation in our region." The "Voice of Germany" quoted the words of Hall Campbell, the chairman of the Bazhama National Compensation Committee. Campbell issued a pupae to the Queen's family, but she also pointed out that at the name of the British royal family last year, at the celebration of the Republic, Prince Charles acknowledged the "appalling slavery atrocities" in history.

The consideration of realistic interests is also an important reason for the Performant to make this choice. Zhou Zhiwei analyzed reporters that from decades to hundreds of years from the Independence of the Caribbean countries, the connection between these countries and the British aspects of the former master of the former master is gradually weakening, which is closely related to the huge changes in the global power structure.

"In history, as the imperial imperial empire, Britain's overseas interests radiated to all corners of the world, and the economic and trade links with their own colonies and former colonies are the most important parts." He explained that with the rise of the United States after World War II And since the rise of emerging powers since the new century, Britain's position in the global power system is declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Today, the economic and trade correlation between the Caribbean countries and the United States, China, and even India has long been closer than the British, which is also an important factor that prompts these countries to seek political autonomy."

In Australia and New Zealand, the discussion was once again put on the desktop. According to media reports such as the British Reuters and Daily Telegraph, New Zealand Prime Minister Adeen was asked about the relevant topics on the 12th local time that the monarchy was abandoned. I believe New Zealand will become the Republic in its "life".

In Australia, the left -wing Prime Minister Albanis in the country appointed an assistant minister in charge of republican affairs after winning the election in May, so that the public paid attention to this issue. However, according to the Wall Street Journal, Albanis said that it should now mourn Elizabeth II, and he will not promise to restructuring the Republic of the Republic in the first term. According to Chen Hong, the director of the Australian Research Department of East China Normal University, if it is said to the small kingdom of South Pacific and Africa, it is more dissatisfied with the colonialism in history to emphasize the country's dissatisfaction. History, culture, and status are no longer affected by colonialism. For Australia and New Zealand, leaving the Commonwealth is more emphasizing their autonomy as an independent country.

According to the Wall Street Journal, until the 1980s, many Australian courts could still appeal to the UK. The Australian Governor, which is represented by the Queen of the United Kingdom, still has certain powers, such as issuing orders, or legal rulings and orders for elections. This power needs to be exercised in accordance with the suggestions of Australian ministers, but in some cases, the governor is considered to have the power to act independently. A controversial scene occurred in the 1970s, when the Australian Governor fired the prime minister.

Chen Hong told the Global Times reporter that the Australian and New Independence Republican movement has been carried out for many years, and discussions from the Commonwealth have never stopped. Historically, Australia had twice abolished the monarchy, but both rejected, which shows that the traditional influence from the United Kingdom still exists, especially Australia's political elites still have inextricable connections with the United Kingdom.

However, he believes that the death of the Queen marks the end of an era. Many "historical problems" that are difficult to solve before may be slowly resolved. For example, some people recently proposed by the queen avatar currency should be simply characterized by Australia. The characters are replaced. "It is foreseeable that the Australian and New folks will slowly dissipate the connection between the British royal family and the nostalgia for the old order and stay into a historical feeling. It will become bigger and bigger, and more and more people will feel the disconnection of the monarchy and the times, and to desire more changes. "

However, experts point out that the pace of the British royal family and the Commonwealth may not be too fast, because in most countries, the changes in the national body need to hold a series of complex processes such as referendum and face considerable uncertainty.

Nevertheless, from Cui Hongjian's view, Britain's political, economic and international status has once again come to the "crossroads". Suspected, after all, Britain is the core of the Commonwealth after all. "
