Jiang Shixue: The "small circle" of the United States in the backyard must be dispersed

In international relations, friends can become enemies, and enemies can become friends. Such changes often occur, and it is not surprising. According to traditional concepts or theories in textbooks, such changes are often due to national interests. A few days ago, Venezuela resumed the ambassador -level diplomatic relations with Colombia, and was scheduled to re -open the Borders of the Brother's Committee on the 26th of this month and restore flights. The relationship between the two countries in the "backyard" in the United States has provided us with the following beneficial revelation.

First, new international relations should become the general trend of the world today. The traditional international relations led by the West are still unwilling to abandon the Cold War thinking, and believe in weak meat and strong food, unilateralism and winners, so that many neighbors do not give up each other or even wear the sky. The new international relations respected by China are based on mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win -win cooperation. It can be seen that the new international relations fully reflect the political wishes, economic interests, and moral demands of developing countries.

For quite a long time, due to the ideology of ideology, especially under the provocation of the United States, the trend between the long -term pro -American Columbia and the "Anti -American Pioneer" Venezuela is not the same, which damages the unity of the entire Latin America, and even hinders Latin America’s U.S. America’s’s. Regional economic integration development. Therefore, the improvement of the relationship between the brother committee can not only promote the unity between the Latin American countries, but also promote the economic and trade relations between the two countries (especially the economic and trade exchanges between the border areas of the two countries), and create a favorable one for the establishment of a new type of international relations in Latin American countries. condition.

Second, the independence of foreign policies in Latin American countries is rising. When Colombia and Venezuela are revenge, Colombia's leaders are looking at the heads of American horses. Therefore, the United States' hostility to Venezuela was actually Columbia's unfriendly policy of Venezuela at that time. In the Columbia election in June this year, the left -wing campaign "Colombian History Convention" candidate Gustov Petro won. Observing in recent decades, left -wing politicians can be described as unprecedented in Colombia. As early as the campaign, Petro said that if he was in power, he would work hard to improve the bilateral relations between Colombia and Venezuela. Therefore, regardless of Petro's election or the improvement of the brother -in -law relationship, it shows that Latin American countries have become more and more interested in seeking independence in foreign policies.

Third, the influence of the United States in Latin America is declining. In the areas of market, capital, technology and immigration, such as the people's livelihood, Latin American countries have a heavy attachment to the United States. In politics, diplomacy, and security, the United States' control over the Latin American region is still very powerful. For example, on September 12, 2020, the Western Hemisphere of the White House National Security Council in the Western Hemisphere of the Western Hemisphere of the Western Hemisphere of the Western Hemisphere of the Western Hemisphere of the Western Hemisphere of the Western Hemisphere of Latin American Affairs was elected as the new president of the American Development Bank. This is the first time that the bank has been the president of the United States since its establishment, and it is a practice that can only be the president of Latin Americans. Although many Latin American countries expressed their opposition at first, under the hard and hard of the United States, the opposition was ended.

It is true that the United States' control of Latin America is difficult to undergo fundamental changes in the short term. But the United States' influence in Latin America is undoubtedly declining. This is related to the adjustment of the United States in terms of global control. At present, the United States has devoted more energy and resources to the leading and control of the "Indo -Pacific Region" in an attempt to curb China and other countries that are different from its ideology. After the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, the United States had to "help Ukraine against Russian military offensive" and united Europe as a priority. This also objectively led to the temporary weakening of strong control in the "backyard" Latin American region. For example, although the United States opposes Colombia's improvement with Venezuela, the pressure applied by Washington has not worked. At the American Summit held in June this year, the United States refused to invite Cuba, Venezuela and other countries to encounter criticism in regions. Some leaders of some Latin American countries even refused to attend the summit, which also reflected this.

Fourth, the strategy of cracking down on dissidents in the Latinie La Gang has died. Each country has a development path that conforms to the characteristics of its country. However, the United States is used to the strategy of gangsters in Latin America. For example, under the institution of the United States, the United States, Canada, and 12 Latin American countries established a Lima Group that interfered with Venezuela's internal affairs and aims to overthrow Venezuela's legal government (named after the group was established in the Peruvian capital) Essence Colombia was once active in this organization. Although the group has issued about 30 declarations that require Venezuela to "restore democracy", this "anti -commission alliance" has not achieved its goals. As Peru exited the group in 2021, some Canadians also called on Canada to withdraw from the group. This once again shows that the "Anti -Committee Alliance" is unpopular.

In summary, the restoration of the relationship between the two countries of the Brother committee fully illustrates that the fight is hurt, and the two benefits are the two. The new international relations should become the general trend of the world today. The United States is destined to gang a gang for its own self -interest, and it is destined to go in the long run.
