Hong Kong media: The chaotic America summit highlights the differences in the style of the US -China

Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" June 12 article, the original title: The chaotic American summit highlights the differences between the style of the US -China Affairs Office. There is another way to hold a meeting of these two "strategic competitors".

The American summit held in Los Angeles was a bit confusing last week. The agenda and the invited list did not finalize until the opening ceremony, and Washington ruled out the actions of Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba, which were governed by the left wing people, and caused several weeks of public quarrels.

Nicholas Kur, a professor of public diplomacy at the University of Southern California, commented on the America's summit: "Very amateur. They did not seem to consider image problems when preparing. The international conferences held in China are completely different."

The main purpose of the United States to host the American Summit is to fight against Beijing's increasing influence in its "backyard". China has significantly increased investment and infrastructure projects in Latin America. In 2021, China and Latin America trade exceeded US $ 400 billion, while the US trade with Latin America was US $ 295 billion.

The American Summit held in the United States in sharp contrast to the international conference hosted by China. The characteristics of the Chinese office are full of preparation, and the pre -arrangement of the event is fine. This contrast reflects the differences between the political systems and conference functions and cultural aspects of their respective political systems.

The person in charge of a consulting company and former US Consul General Jeffrey Murn said: "In China, everyone knows what should be expected." Susan Brownl, a anthropologist at the University of Missouri, said: " Chinese activist organizers may be unparalleled in the world. "She also said that China often makes development of small and medium -sized countries also feel important and respected, and the United States does not always do it.

The President of a consulting company and the global contact head of the White House during the Obama administration said, "It is shocking that we have spent too little time for preparing and logistics work, and investment in the relationship. Too little. In fact, Biden knows how to do it. This is not a high -tech. "He said:" (The United States should have should be) added some flash points to the summit, some forms of things make foreign leaders feel that we are serious Treat them and make them feel valued. "

Considering the importance of impression, some people say that the mistakes of holding the American Summit may weaken the image of Washington and provide materials for China's propaganda and soft power movements. "This is not only unacceptable, but also caused unnecessary cracks with key allies."
