"Chinese footprints can be seen everywhere, European traces are mainly colonized, the United States ..."

The US "Foreign Policy" magazine July 7th article, original topic: against China, the United States still doesn't understand what.

The Seventh Kingdom Group (G7) recently announced that it will provide funds for infrastructure development in other parts of the world in Africa and development. The West believes that it is necessary to compete with the “Belt and Road” initiative. However, in a short period of time, the idea of ​​launching substantial Western common security countermeasures on China's growing strength and influence is the whimsical. The emergence of China as the main trading partner and the source of investment has enabled Europeans to be cautious against China. As long as Beijing does not directly threaten Europe -almost no reason to expect that China will do this, Europe will not be interested in standing with the United States to launch a common defense.

What is even more doubtful is whether it is necessary to make Western countries a funding infrastructure and the main participants in providing other international public products. In this regard, we do not need to predict, and look at (Western) the recent empty promise and inaction records. Over the past ten years, similar plans (Western) have been proposed again and again, but in the end they have become empty talks. The most recently known as "rebuilding a better world" was announced less than a year ago. Who remember today?

Kori Shack, the director of the US Enterprise Institute of Foreign Affairs and Defense Policy, expressed his views on the latest G7 program. The speeches leaked Washington's errors and outdated understanding of other countries in the world, especially the global southern relations. This is not only a decent posture, but also a slow corrosion effect on the power and global influence of the United States, so that countless countries now have China -a country that is much lower than the United States -deemed that it is most likely to help them in Partners who have achieved major achievements in the economy.

Western ideology believes that the success of the rich country is the result of sacrifice, virtue and wisdom, and at the same time condonate the fear and resentment of the unfortunate (poor country). American warning development countries should not accept economic aid from China. But now the situation is that the world has more opportunities to replace the West. Washington has not understood the important point: in the past 30 years, China has participated in the global public product game. Beijing recognizes that the future of the international economy is largely south of the world.

This consideration of its own interests, instead of linicia, promotes Beijing's travel. But people who believe that the wisdom and benefits of the market understand that this is not a bad thing, but the correct conclusion should be drawn. When I wrote this paragraph, I was in Lomme, the capital of West Africa's small country. Lommey is one of the greatest projects of human beings: establishing an intensive urbanized coastal area, extending from Ragos in Nigeria to Abie in Corteda. By the middle of this century, tens of millions of people will live, work and trade in this area. Who will give these artificial houses? Who will help build electricity, water, sewage treatment and communication infrastructure, as well as schools, universities and employment? China's footprints are everywhere, including small enterprises and large factories, highway projects and airports. The traces of Europe are mainly colonized, and the United States is rarely seen.
