Chapter 760: War and Peace (1) (2-in-1 Plus Update)
No matter how criticized the Internet is, the changed program list will not be changed back, and the politically correct media have begun to turn their attention to the "G20 topic" outside the party, which has successfully distracted the public. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Huaxia News Network reported: "On August 9, the veil of the press center of the G20 Shanghai Summit was unveiled to the world for the first time, and reporters from all over the world were attracted by the "Chinese style" that came to their faces. The screen built of ancient wood and silk, the fence decorated with "Fushan Spring Residence", the photo wall of Shanghai's beautiful scenery, and the enthusiastic volunteer "Little Green Lotus" ...... It constitutes a beautiful picture of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
"I've never seen such a good press center!" said a colleague from the media who has visited more than 60 countries and covered seven G20 summits.
"What is commendable is not only the design of the press centre, but also its practicality. With 1,500 public seats for journalists, 500 desktop computers with bilingual operating systems in Chinese and English, 112 dedicated workstations, and large LED screens that provide public audio and video signals on a real-time basis, the sense of technology is within reach in every corner of the press center. On the platform, a series of telephones equipped with dual receivers attracted everyone's attention. Its name is "Bilingual Phone", which is another innovation of the organizers in providing barrier-free services, including English, Japanese, Korean, German and other 14 languages to establish a unified platform to provide translation services 24 hours a day. The venue operator told reporters that the press center can serve about 4,700 journalists at the same time. ”
Shanghai Satellite TV reported: "On August 10, the first press conference of the G20 Shanghai Summit series was held in the press conference hall of the press center, and the 200 seats on the site were occupied half an hour before the start of the meeting, and the corridors on both sides of the conference hall were full of reporters at the beginning of the press conference.
The next B20 summit will be attended by more than 4,000 business representatives from 32 countries and 26 international organizations, and 150 of the world's top 500 companies and 103 of the top 500 Chinese companies will fully communicate on the B20 platform and deeply participate in global governance. ”
On 13 August, various media had already gathered in Shanghai, and by this time many foreign leaders had already arrived in Shanghai, such as Kazakh President Nazar and Brazilian President Mel, while Hua Jing, president of Huaxia, also arrived in Shanghai the next day and met with the leaders of Indonesia, Senegal, Laos, Brazil, and Singapore.
Among them, the most eye-catching is Brazilian President Mel, who just took office on August 31, and said to Chinese President Hua Jing: "It is a great honor for me to be able to choose Huaxia as my first country to visit after I become president. ”
On 14 August, senior officials from 20 countries arrived one after another for a "warm-up" meeting of the G20, where heated discussions were held on key topics such as the Libyan war. It has been revealed that there are still considerable differences between the parties on many key issues, which may affect the achievement of substantive results in the "Seoul Declaration" scheduled to be released last year.
According to the official agenda, the six-day G20 summit will focus on several topics: the current world security situation, the reform of international financial institutions, energy issues, and the two major issues proposed by the host China, namely the resolution of the nuclear issue and the issue of environmental protection and development.
However, the outside world is most concerned about the Libyan war, which has plagued various countries, and the United States just withdrew its troops from Iraq at the end of 2011, and in February this year, it joined forces with some European countries to launch the Libyan war.
On March 7, 2012, France first launched an air attack on Libya, and on March 21, the United States and Britain launched 12 Tomahawk cruise missiles into Libya, and in the second attack, the ace bomber B2 was dispatched.
On April 6, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry publicly criticized Western countries' military action against Libya. The tough attitude blamed Western countries, led by the United States, for taking advantage of the ambiguity of UN Resolution 1973 to turn the "no-fly agreement" to prevent civilians from being harmed into air strikes.
A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry believes that this has set a "very dangerous precedent" because according to this logic, ground troops can also be sent. "It seems to be legitimate, but it contains very dangerous tendencies. ”
On April 19, the African Union protested against the coalition's actions, arguing that France, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries had "abused" the resolution, warning that the action could trigger a serious humanitarian catastrophe.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Lukashevich also said on the 19th that Russia regrets that some countries have taken military action against Libya on the grounds that the United Nations Security Council has adopted a resolution. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Lukashevich said on 20 June that Russia strongly calls on relevant countries involved in the military operation against Libya to stop indiscriminately using force.
India's Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement on the 20th, expressing regret over the air strikes launched by the United States, Britain, France and other countries on Libya, and calling on all parties to publicly renounce the use of force and resolve differences through peaceful means.
On May 7, the Libyan National Tribal Assembly officially closed, with more than 800 tribes supporting the government and opposing the rebels. After hearing the news, Western countries discussed countermeasures and jointly put pressure on Gaddafi, and government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said that he would not give up on the revolution.
On May 23, Italian Foreign Minister Fratini called on Libya to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible so that humanitarian relief supplies could be delivered to the country. The United States, Britain, and France did not approve, and even "scoffed." According to the report, this shows that disagreements within NATO member states over the operation against Libya have become public.
On June 17, South African President Jacob Zuma condemned NATO, saying that NATO was a shameless organization that would be defeated.
On June 18, Gaddafi made a speech in which he said that NATO would be thwarted, would be plunged into a people's war, and would be defeated by the people. NATO retaliated with air strikes against pro-government populations, causing casualties.
On June 19, members of the U.S. Congress sued Omar, alleging that he had abused his power to strike Libya by force without the consent of the parliament.
On July 25, NATO bombed Libyan state television.
...... And at this time, the war was still going on.
The smoke of the war in Iraq has not yet dissipated, and this time the war in Libya has been ignited again, not only by 20 countries, which has further strengthened the concern of countries around the world in this regard.
In the past few days, the G20 defense ministers have focused on the issue of the war in Libya in preparation for the upcoming leaders' summit.
Prior to this, the U.S. Congress proposed to limit funding for the war and stop funding for the Libyan war. However, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed a resolution on the 13th to extend the military strike on Libya, which made Omar's plan to extend the strike pass the first hurdle.
On the same day, Hua Jing publicly accused US Secretary of State John Kerry of "lying" about the Syrian issue.
According to Time magazine in the United States, although the weather in Shanghai is hot, the atmosphere at the Shanghai International Conference Center may be as cold as winter.
Russia's RT TV appealed: "It's time to switch to the issue of war, and the G20 summit in China must prove that it is not a paper tiger." ”
However, until the 14th, the differences between the countries were still very large.
A South Korean official at the meeting revealed on the 14th that member states are still unable to reach a consensus on key issues that may be written into the communiqué of the meeting, such as whether to strengthen commitments, oppose armed conflict and strengthen bilateral cooperation.
The British newspaper "The Guardian" headlined "Omar and Huajing will collide over Libya at summit", which has turned into an international showdown shrouded by the crisis in the Middle East, although the official agenda is still environmental and economic issues.
Time magazine said that as U.S. missiles continue to strike Libya, it is hoped that the G20 summit will focus on economic and environmental issues, as unlikely as Huajing and Omar agreed.
Agence France-Presse said that while senior government officials lobbied Congress, Omar himself had sought international support during a previous visit to Sweden, denying that he was isolated. "It's not me who draws the red line, it's the world, and my reputation is not at risk, but the reputation of the international community, the United States and Congress is," he said. A spokesman for U.S. House Speaker Boehner said Boehner refused to discuss the Libyan issue with the Chinese delegation.
Previously, Huajing had expressed support for sending a delegation to the United States to talk to the U.S. Congress.
According to Fox News, Hua Jing said in a meeting with members of the Chinese Human Rights Commission that the main combat force of the Libyan opposition is the branch of al-Qaeda, and Kerry knew this, but he lied in his testimony before the Senate to carry out air strikes on Libya under the pretext of fighting terrorism.
The day before the G20 summit, Hua Jing accused the Omar administration of lying to Congress, which seemed more like a quarrel in a bar than Zhong Nanhai's statement.
At a time when the international community is debating how to respond to the Libyan chemical weapons attack, Huajing's tone leaves no room for compromise during the G20 summit, not even polite.
The British "Daily Telegraph" said that Omar will meet with French President Aldland on the sidelines of the G20 summit and will not hold a formal meeting with British Prime Minister Karen, and some analysts say that this is because the British parliament vetoed the extension of the military strike on Libya and received a cold reception.
Although the leaders of the United States and China ostensibly tried to ease tensions, the views of international public opinion on the 15th were generally pessimistic.
On August 15, the G20 officially kicked off, and the first day of talks began with difficulty, and the summit was secretly divided into camps.
A German television station reported: "Is the G20 Shanghai summit an arena in which geopolitical triumphs over the economy? Will Huajing and Omar have a showdown over the bombing of Libya? Can the leaders of the 20 most powerful economies put aside distractions and find a way to revive the global economy?...... In the face of a long list of questions thrown by world public opinion, the G20 summit opened in Shanghai on the morning of the 15th local time. ”
The Associated Press reported: "The G20 summit kicks off in Shanghai, and Omar's trip to China is like entering a lion's den, and he will face difficult conversations at the G20 summit...... The Libyan issue is a sore point in the very tense US-China relationship, which further convinces the belief that Omar and Hua Jing cannot get along. ”
Russia's role is of particular interest. Agence France-Presse said that the first bilateral meeting between Chinese President Hua Jing and Russian President Veddev on the sidelines of the G20 was symbolic, and the two countries unanimously opposed the West's policy towards Libya. According to the report, after the meeting between the two heads of state, Gazprom and Huaxia state-owned energy enterprises signed an agreement on the "basic conditions" for the export of natural gas from Russia to China along the eastern route.
And Russia's "Izvestia" said: "Huajing and Omar did not hold bilateral talks during the summit, which is very rare in the history of Sino-US relations." ”
But the subsequent developments on the 15th made the outside world even more worried.
Although Huaxia CCTV reported that at the G20 welcoming ceremony of world leaders, Huajing and Omar shook hands with a smile. This is the first time since the G8 summit that the two leaders shook hands.
Observers have found that Huajing and Omar shook hands significantly longer than other leaders.
According to AFP, Huajing and Omar shook hands with a diplomatic smile at the G20 summit in an attempt to ease tensions in recent weeks, but judging from the talks that day, the two sides did not send a signal of reconciliation and remained at loggerheads over Libya.
"The G20 summit will become a stage of struggle between the leaders of the two camps", the European News Network said on the 15th with this title, around the Libyan issue, the summit has formed two opposing camps led by the leaders of China and the United States. The future situation in Libya will depend on which camp the participants of the G20 summit support. There is no doubt that Russia will support China, and South Africa is also opposed to military intervention without UN approval. Brazil and Mexico will also not support Omar because of the U.S. eavesdropping. Brazilian President Mel's spokesman also announced on the 11th that because the president was being monitored by the United States, the Brazilian side canceled preparations for Mel's visit to the United States next month and instead participated in the G20 to be held in China first. And the supporters of the United States will include France, Great Britain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and others. ”
Although Huaxia, the host of the summit, who has put a lot of effort into hosting the summit, does not want the conference to be hijacked by the Libyan issue alone, stressing that the theme of the meeting is peace, environmental protection and economic growth.
However, in the eyes of public opinion, the Libyan issue has become the focus of the meeting.
On the 15th of August, both the domestic and foreign media and most of the ordinary people on this planet focused on the confrontation between China and the United States at the G20, but it was clear that the atmosphere on the first day was not friendly, and the results were not satisfactory.
Obviously, Huaxia also had ulterior motives in choosing the "G20 Summit Opening Ceremony" as the day of the "67th anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war."
Therefore, some time ago, the party that was hotly discussed in China and China, when there were still two or three hours to start, briefly became the focus of countries around the world, for the party that was about to be announced this night, because of the deliberate avoidance of the Chinese media, in fact, there was less attention from many people, and no one felt that a party could change anything at the moment.
Only a handful of people have noticed that the last program of this party is called "War and Peace", and no one knows yet that this program choreographed by Cheng Xiaoyu will bring a huge shock to the world.
