The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Group of 20 (G20) were influenced by the Russian and Ukraine conflict. The process of the Treasury Conference was affected by the protests of some countries' representatives.International observers believe that with the increasingly fierce game of great powers, international multilateralism and multilateral institutions will face more pressure, globalization will be squeezed more, and the state may be forced to turn to regional organizations.

Russia launched an aggression against Ukraine in February this year. Western countries have continuously strengthened sanctions on Russia, including trying to remove Russia from multiple international organizations or prohibit Russian representatives from participating in international conferences.In the past few days, the G20 and IMF conference held in Washington, USA, some Western representatives chose to leave the field to protest when the Russian representative speeches.

Ian Storey, a senior researcher at the Yosov Issa East South Asian Research Institute in Singapore, said in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao that the exit of several Western national finance ministers can be foreseeable because these countries want to show that they are right.Russia invaded Ukraine for no reason.

John Bradford, a senior researcher at the Nanyang University of Science and Technology, believes that the action of leaving protests is appropriate because "Russia is an illegal war party, its position is obviously obviously as good asThe goal of G20 is contrary to. "

At the meeting of the G20 Treasury Secretary and the Central Bank President, when the Russian representative began speaking, US Treasury Secretary Yellen, President Powell, the Federal Reserve, British President Bailey, Canada Treasury Secretary Frelan, the Bank of Europe Bank BankSeveral officials such as Lagader left the scene, while other remote participants closed the camera.Spanish, France, Germany and Japanese officials did not leave.

At the IMF Finance Secretary Conference, only British Treasury Secretary Sunak and Canadian Treasury Secretary Frelan left the scene while speaking in Russia.

There are differences in the attitude of Western countries to Russia.

Li Mingjiang, an associate professor of the Rajiery South International Research Institute, explained that there are differences in the attitude of western countries to Russia, so some Western countries representatives protest, others choose not to do so."Another more realistic reason is that if more countries leave the meeting, the agenda will be greatly affected, so some countries choose to continue to participate in the meeting to make the agenda complete."

Sturi believes that more such protests may occur at the Asia -Pacific Economic Cooperation Meeting, G20 Summit and East Asia Summit."This once again shows that the increasingly fierce competition between the great powers is making multilateral institutions facing increasing pressure."

G20 round -value chairman Guohiko and Asia -Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization Rotary Chairman Cathay Thailand and the Asian Fine Period Chairman Guo Cambodia all faces the pressure of Western countries to eliminate Russia's participation and other countries to keep the Russian conference.

Bradford believes that large international organizations will be difficult to operate effectively in the future, and the state is forced to turn to small international organizations, and small organizations often pay more attention to regional issues, which means that globalization will be further suppressed.

Li Mingjiang said: "Globalization requires most countries, especially large powers to reach a consensus to a certain extent, but now it is getting more and more difficult. Globalization, international governance, and multilateralism in many fields will be greatly affected.And it may deteriorate. "
