The recent news about the major countries in the Middle East showing goodwill to China is much more special. Countless people in the country have said that the Middle East is too far-sighted!
Speaking of the Middle East, this area extends from the southern part of the eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf coast, including most of West Asia except Afghanistan and Egypt and Africa in Africa. The Transcaucasus region on the border of Russia has about 23 countries and regions, with a total area of more than 15 million square kilometers and about 490 million people living there.
The main climates in the Middle East are tropical desert climate, Mediterranean climate, and temperate continental climate. Among them, tropical desert climate is the most widely distributed, and the terrain here is mainly plateaus and plains. host. The main rivers are the Euphrates River, the Nile River, etc. From a geographical point of view, the Middle East connects Asia, Europe and Africa, and also connects the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. It has been recognized as a transportation hub between the East and the West since ancient times. Everyone calls it the land of “two oceans, three continents and five seas”, so It is said that the geographical location of the entire Middle East is very important, especially since the Middle East also has a large number of “scarce” fresh water resources and precious oil resources on the earth. This has become the beginning of the dispute between China and the United States, two major oil importing countries.
The United States has always been “unyielding” in the Middle East, because in the eyes of Americans, the Middle East is not only rich in oil, it is also located on the flank of Europe and belongs to the entire The “soft belly” region where NATO’s defense power is relatively weak is also an intermediate link in the U.S. two-ocean strategy. Therefore, successive US governments have believed that the Middle East is “the cornerstone of the survival of the United States, Europe and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.”
So as early as the 1950s, in order to strengthen its military and economic penetration into the Middle East, the United States established the Central Treaty Organization and strengthened military support for its “little brother” Israel , using it as the main strategic pillar of the United States’ “unsinkable aircraft carrier” in the region.
Now, the United States has been relying on its status as the only superpower and the advantages of having many “little brothers” to seek a dominant position in the Middle East, including the ability to monopolize peace in the Middle East. status of affairs – it wants to completely control the Middle East and regard it as its own. However, the Middle East countries Iraq and Iran are unwilling to be the minions of the United States and have been resisting. This makes the United States very dissatisfied. So taking advantage of the “9·11” incident, the United States wanted to eliminate a serious problem first!
However, because of the impatience of the United States, it quickly pushed Iran to move closer to China. Perhaps due to the impact of this year’s epidemic, the entire U.S. economy has declined, which has intensified the United States’ desire to quickly control Iran, so conventional “big stick” sanctions have fallen on Iran.
Due to the deterrent power of the United States against most European countries, when the United States imposed oil economic sanctions on Iran, many European countries immediately stopped importing Iranian oil. Although Iran has lowered its oil export prices to the lowest level, but no country still dares to confront the United States. After all, everyone is afraid of being subject to the United States’ unreasonable “long-arm jurisdiction.”
At this time, China could no longer stand the behavior of the United States, and extended a friendly “hand” to Iran – signing a large oil order with Iran.
This kind of behavior of a big country providing help in the snow has made Iran realize that only by moving closer to China can it resist the sanctions from the United States! Therefore, Iran happily chose China among the United States and China, and also showed its willingness to use RMB to settle oil payments!
You must know that as the only global currency in the world, the U.S. dollar has global liquidity and settlement capabilities. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund stipulate that bulk commodity transactions must Settlement is in U.S. dollars, and oil is one of the commodities.
As long as this economic restriction of the U.S. dollar is broken, the era of the U.S. dollar competing for world hegemony will soon come to an end.
Let’s give another example of the United States being knocked down by abacus beads. I saw a report on the Chinese website not long ago, saying that Saudi Arabia, a major country in the Middle East, has shown goodwill to China, saying that the country’s oil company Saudi Aramco is trying to diversify financing methods and change the currency for international oil transactions from the single dollar to the U.S. dollar. It will become a multi-national currency and is also considering issuing a “petro-yuan”.
As soon as this news was issued, it caused a great commotion among the US authorities. This has already meant that the international oil market may see a situation of “a hundred schools of thought contending” in the future. The U.S. dollar era is about to become a thing of the past, and with it, the international status of the United States will also suffer an unprecedented huge impact!
Now with China’s economic development and increasing international influence, regional economies dominated by China are continuously deepening their presence in countries around the world. In addition, in recent years With the signing of RCEP, the renminbi became the second largest currency after the US dollar.It is an inevitable trend to become a global currency, and compared with the currencies of Western developed countries, the RMB relies on the advantages of China’s economic development and has considerable stability. After all, under the influence of this year’s new crown epidemic, the global economy is in a state of decline. During the recession, only China is still maintaining stable development. More and more Western countries are beginning to want to establish stable economic cooperation with China and seek to ride on China’s economic development express train. </p
