Who is overthrowing the existing rule system
Some U.S. politicians regard "America First" as a creed instead of globalism. The essence of this is to put political needs and personal interests above the consensus of the times, fairness and justice, and will surely suffer the consequences.
Observing the world today, if you ask who is overthrowing the existing system of rules and who is betraying international commitments and international obligations, the discerning person will come to a conclusion: Some US politicians represented by the US Secretary of State Pompeo under the banner of "America First", Has perfected himself by trampling rules and rebelling against morality. However, it is these people who now jump up without shame and falsely claim that "China is trying to overthrow the existing rule system." Their overbearing behavior of saving others by themselves and frantically splashing dirty water fully interprets the ugliness of deception.
The U.S. pursues "America First" and pushes unilateralism and bullying to the extreme. It is the greatest threat and the greatest damage to the international rule system if it is used in conjunction with international rules, or discarded if it is not. As long as an international agreement is signed, the corresponding international responsibilities and obligations should be assumed. This is the most basic common sense. However, some U.S. politicians have deliberately chosen too many "shoulds"—the U.S. has ignored the Universal Postal Union’s regulations since 1969 that poor countries and developing countries can enjoy postal rates lower than those of developed countries. The United States announced its withdrawal from the organization on the grounds of “deciding on domestic postage”; the United States, ignoring its international obligations to address climate change and helping developing countries to reduce emissions, announced its withdrawal less than one year after depositing the United States’ instruments of ratification of the Paris Agreement on climate change with the United Nations. ; In order to excuse its own responsibility for ineffective fight against the epidemic, the United States unreasonably attacked and withdrew from the World Health Organization, which is critical to the health and well-being and public health security of all human beings, at the most critical moment of the global new crown pneumonia epidemic this year... Number of international treaties withdrawn by the current US government It has surpassed any previous administration of the United States, and its various actions have repeatedly fully exposed its short-sightedness and dominance. Richard Haas, president of the American Institute of Foreign Affairs, recently pointed out that as the United States withdraws from multilateral agreements and distances itself from its allies, "this country not only appears to have weakened its attractiveness and strength, but it is also no longer so reliable."
The U.S.'s pursuit of "America First" has already caused serious damage to the prevailing international business rules. In recent years, the US has provoked trade disputes everywhere, arbitrarily "weaponizing" tariffs, treating so-called "national security" as "omnipotent shields," treating trading partners as "imaginary enemies," and even blatantly violating the market principles of fair and free competition. , Do your best to fight open fire, cleverly grab the power. The US abuses the name of national security and uses national resources to smear, pursue and intercept Chinese private companies including Huawei, ByteDance, and Tencent. In essence, the government is bullying companies from other countries and trampling business rules. This practice is a betrayal of the market economy and fair competition principles that the United States has always advertised, and it is a violation of international rules. Some public opinion pointed out that the U.S. "blocked" Chinese technology companies with a single administrative order, requiring individuals and entities subject to U.S. jurisdiction not to conduct any "transactions" with relevant Chinese companies and their subsidiaries.
In the final analysis, "America first" is the priority of private interests, and it is a policy orientation that contradicts or even opposes the international rules for maintaining fairness and justice. American economist Paul Krugman pointedly commented that the deeper root of the "self-destructive behavior" of some American politicians is that they are all believers in American selfishness. Some U.S. politicians regard "America first" as a creed instead of globalism. The essence of this is to override the consensus of the times and fairness and justice for political needs and personal interests, and they will surely suffer the consequences. In July of this year, the United States once again blocked the resumption of the World Trade Organization’s Appellate Body and its core functions, making the rules-based global trading system ineffective and insecure, adding a crisis to the global trading system, and it was protested by many countries. The United States has withdrawn from the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue, but recently unreasonably requested the launch of the "quick restoration of sanctions" mechanism against Iran, which aroused opposition from other members of the UN Security Council, and even its European allies bluntly said that the US demand is "illegal." A person in the American diplomatic circle pointed out that "the United States is now confronting the world."
On the road, the world is the public. Some U.S. politicians who attempt to overthrow the existing rule system with all kinds of reversal will eventually fail, and any action that puts their own interests above the common interests of the international community will eventually fail.
