Trial Time
Trump, under the tremendous pressure of domestic impeachment hearing, participated in the London Summit, which aims to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of NATO.Trump, who has a heavy mind, hopes to bring back some good news from London, but the result of this summit is mixed with Trump.
What I like is that there is a consensus on the Chinese issue.Article 6 of the summit states that we realize that China ’s increasing influence and its international policies have brought about opportunities and challenges that we must deal with as an alliance, and pointed out that we must find methods to encourage China to participate in military control control.
Trump hopes that Europe can stand in the United States to fight against China. French President Macron and German Chancellor Merkel will not buy it.During the summit, some allies wanted to please Trump and regard China as the next opponent of NATO.But most Europeans know that China will not become NATO opponents, and China is not New Russia.European officials are increasingly identified as the point of view of China as a strategic challenge, but this cannot become the core task of NATO.
What is happy is that Trump will once again lighten the proportion of other countries in NATO to increase military expenses and the shared ratio of expenses in NATO.
Trump believes that with his own efforts, NATO military expenses have increased by $ 130 billion.But this number still has room for rising. NATO's military expenditure should reach $ 400 billion before 2024.In particular, Germany agreed to continue to increase military expenses and bear more NATO expenses. This is also the main reason for the harmonious relationship between Trump and Merkel during the summit.
What is worried is that there are different opinions on Russia's threats, terrorism, and 5G construction.Although the statement specifically mentioned Russia's aggressive actions and various forms of terrorism, it also emphasized that it should continue to talk to Russia. Russia is not only a potential partner, but also a potential danger.In addition, the United States' pressure on the United States at the NATO summit to exclude the decision of Chinese companies in 5G construction. The statement only emphasized that the NATO and member states are committed to ensuring the security of communication within their respective authority.
The United States hopes that NATO, as a regional military security organization, can transform with the strategic transformation of the United States; since the United States has abandoned the war of counter -terrorism and regards the game of great powers as the main melody, NATO should also actively respond to use China and Russia as the main strategic opponents and even enemies to treatLeading NATO to achieve globalization and eastward view, not partial.
However, Macron's NATO's alien is not bought.He is politely pointed out that the threat of Europe is terrorism, not China and Russia. It is unwise to drive Russia out of Europe. In the end, it can only make the world form a new pattern of China and the United States.
One thing is the consensus of NATO, that is, the rise of China is a challenge and opportunity coexistence.The United States emphasizes more challenges brought by China. Whether in trade issues, scientific and technological issues, ideological issues, military transparency issues, etc., China is considered a serious threat to the United States.The flood beast, so that where the US Secretary of State Pompeo go, will vilify and dismantle the platform to destroy China's so -called global strategy.European countries emphasize that China's development is more opportunities. Belt and roads can be controlled. The security problems brought by Huawei can also be controlled, not safe and out of control.
The method of encouraging China to participate in military reserve control in the joint statement just illustrates the psychological activities of the United States.Because the world is not too peaceful, China has continuously developed advanced military capabilities in recent years, especially this year's National Day parade, which exclaimed the United States.To this end, Trump urgently requested China to achieve military transparency and hopes to force China to join the United States -led global military control system.A large number of conventional ballistic missiles and other advanced weapons.
Although it is a nuclear disarmament, it is actually to castrate China's military capabilities.Once China does not respond to the demands of the United States on military control, the United States has accused China of threatening regions and even global security within NATO, and immediately withdraw a big hat of hegemony and threat to China.
But the United States is difficult to use NATO to curb China's plot.On the one hand, NATO's internal stance on China's threat is not uniform. It even believes that the opportunities in China are greater than the challenge, the risks can be resolved, and cooperation is greater than competition.
On the other hand, a few new member states in NATO determined that Russia was a threat, and there was no consensus within NATO. For example, Germany, France, Italy and other countries emphasized that Russia is a partner.The biggest problem facing Europe is terrorism, but the United States has turned a blind eye.
Moreover, more countries in NATO do not want to become a global military organization to help the United States maintain global order. This will not only drag down the country's economy, but also cause trouble and lose money.More importantly, the continuous development of China is a huge contribution to world peace and stability, and the international community has increasingly recognized this.

More NATO countries do not want to be a global military organization to help the United States maintain global order. This will not only drag down the country's economy, but also cause trouble to the upper body.More importantly, the continuous development of China is a huge contribution to world peace and stability, and the international community has increasingly recognized this.
