The White House is trumpeting war in Ukraine, and Trump's fans are in a hurry: Look at China and Argentina, which are threatening the United States!
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Argentina, when Argentine President Fernandez arrived in China to attend the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, followed by a meeting between the leaders of China and Argentina and the signing of a memorandum of understanding on the Belt and Road Initiative between the two governments. During the period, CNNC also revealed that it had signed a project contract with the Argentine Nuclear Power Company to build a Chinese independent third-generation Hualong No. 1 pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant for Argentina. And when this news came to the United States, Americans were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
In a speech in the House of Representatives, Matt Gates, a Republican lawmaker and former Trump advocate, said that the Biden administration, the media and many members of Congress were trying to advocate the "war in Ukraine", but they did not notice that "our country is facing a growing threat around the world". Argentina, a key country and economy in the Americas, has now signed the Belt and Road Initiative with China, tied to China.
However, this accusation by the United States is undoubtedly based on its own people, because of the impact of the epidemic, Argentina's shortage of funds is serious, the debt problem is arduous, and it is urgent to attract foreign investment and expand imports, obviously the United States can do it, but the United States is not willing to make a big move for a small country in their eyes, so the only thing that can meet this condition is China.
It is worth noting that Sino-Arab trade is no longer settled in dollars, so to a large extent there is autonomy, and it is a shock to the dollar hegemony, in fact, in recent years, many countries around the world have intended to de-dollarize, and the status of the dollar hegemony is now being shaken a little. （HK）
