China sent a special civil aviation plane to pick up five members of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s family to attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games in Hangzhou and visit Beijing.
Huge efforts and coordination were in place behind the scenes to ensure the safety of Bashar’s family’s trip to China and back. In a nice display of Eurasian solidarity while practising BRICS diplomacy, two major powers, China and Russia, were jointly responsible for one end of the escort, the middle by Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan fighter relay escort.
This shows that China will form a united front against the US. Thus, the bipolar pattern has begun to emerge.
In this situation, no matter how Nepal tries to avoid it, it is actually faced with the historic task of “choosing a side”.
The approval of the MCC and the further formal implementation of the MCC clearly shows that in the bipolar confrontation pattern between China and the US, Nepal is now temporarily biased toward the US.
My humble opinion is contrary to the judgment of most of our social elites. I don’t think China will fail. One is that China, with a 5,000-year history of civilization, has enough historical accumulation to withstand the attack of the US, which has only 300 years of history. The second is that modern China, with its experience of fighting and winning wars against the US in Korea and Vietnam, can afford to defy the US strategically. Third, after the failure of the US trade war and the science and technology war against China, the financial war and the cognitive war are also evolving relatively quickly in favor of China. As for a hot war, I personally do not think it is possible because the US is ruled by the capital group, and the capital group cannot start a hot war that will make it disappear from the earth.
As we will see shortly, the MCC will embarrass and saddle the elite who approved it and ran to implement it.
