[Epoch Times December 11, 2021]Hello, friends, today is December 10th (Friday), welcome to “Foresight Quick Review”, my name is Tang Jingyuan.
Today’s focus: Beijing Winter Olympics scams reveal themselves: “There is no boycott without invitation” is a false proposition! Does France not boycott? Things may not be that simple; the Democracy Summit exposes a diplomatic hedging war, Biden has a bigger plan?
At present, both internationally and domestically, the most lively focus is of course two: one is the international community’s resistance to the progress of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the other is the just-concluded democratic summit. These two focal points have become the two major battlefields of the CCP’s current diplomacy. It has almost tried its best to fight diplomatic wars, public opinion wars, and information wars, which are very lively.
Especially the just-concluded Democracy Summit. For the CCP, it is basically the kind of harm that is not sure. However, it is certain that it is extremely insulting. It triggered the CCP’s “full process” of not only screaming at itself. Democracy,” and even Xinhua News Agency used the lower body as an analogy in its English-language propaganda video, saying that American democracy has been declining. This also reflects from one aspect that the stimulus of the Democratic Summit to the CCP has caused the party mothers to have obvious endocrine disorders, which are beyond the scope of madness, and they are almost crazy, right.
[BeijingWinterOlympicsscam:Whoiseligibletosendinvitations?】
Today we will discuss the latest developments in these two major battlefields, so that we can see exactly what kind of conclusion this information will bring us.
With regard to the international community’s boycott of the Winter Olympics, objectively speaking, there are not many countries that have officially expressed their views. They are basically the five countries of the “Five Eyes Alliance,” plus Scotland, Lithuania, and Kosovo. It can be said that the whole wave of boycotts is still in its infancy stage. It is difficult to draw conclusions about what the future will be. The current democracy summit and today’s International Human Rights Day are helping this trend.
Therefore, the peak of the real boycott will not come until the end of this month until the beginning of January. At present, due to the Peng Shuai incident, the democratic summit, and the economic competition between the CCP, Lithuania, and the European Union, the three lines are intertwined, so the CCP is very nervous, for fear that these three will give birth to black swan and gray. The rhino comes.
First of all, there is an important issue that needs to be clarified about the boycott of the Winter Olympics. It is a statement that we have seen the CCP’s external propaganda has been spreading with all its strength, that is: I did not invite you at all, and you kept shouting about the boycott. It’s purely affectionate.
This argument, from Aunt Hua Chunyinghua, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs, to Chen Weihua, head of the EU branch of China Daily, from Hu Xijin, the chief liner, to countless pink fifty cents, has been repeated invariably on various platforms.
But this is an out-and-out lie. It is a deliberately planned misinformation by the CCP in order to find some face for itself, and it is the CCP’s true self-passionate and self-imposing operation.
Why do you say that? This involves a cold knowledge that most friends may not know. According to the rules of the Olympic Games, leaders of various countries are not invited by the host country to participate in the Olympic Games, but by their own Olympic Committee. After registering, you can attend the Olympic Games.
In other words, it is not that the CCP does not want to issue invitations, but that the CCP does not have any qualifications to issue invitations to leaders of various countries. The initiative of this invitation is in the hands of each country’s own Olympic Committee, and has nothing to do with the CCP government. Money relationship.
This cold knowledge, in fact, the CCP officials themselves had to explain in certain public occasions. For example, just yesterday, on December 9, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin was asked by a Reuters reporter when he was hosting a regular press conference: In addition to Russia, which countries have leaders and officials invited by China to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics?
The reporter who asked the question may not know this rule, or it may be that the reporter deliberately set up a language trap. However, on such occasions, Wang Wenbin obviously did not dare to lie to the face of his face, so he had to answer honestly: According to the Olympic rules, leaders of various countries are invited to attend the Olympic Games by their own Olympic Committee and registered in the IOC system. .
So you can see, we say that the CCP is deliberately misleading the public, it is not hacking it for the sake of blackness, it is indeed so black. From this perspective, it is obvious that the CCP is fighting an information war in an organized and premeditated manner, taking advantage of the information blind zone of the public regarding the leaders’ attendance of the Olympic Games, and bringing the wind and the rhythm to create an advantage in public opinion.
A simple search will reveal that various mainland media reports on Wang Wenbin’s answer to this part of the report generally used the headline “Which leaders of the countries will China invite to participate in the Winter Olympics? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded”. They make full use of the description differences between the title and the actual content to mislead readers, leaving the impression that “foreign leaders need to be invited by China to attend the Winter Olympics.”
We have said many times in the past that the CCP’s propaganda is full of traps, and you may be deceived by them if you don’t pay attention to it. The so-called “attendance at the Winter Olympics requires China to invite first” scam is just the latest example.
[French “Boycott” Suspicion]
We mentioned one point just now, that is, the CCP is very worried about the mixing of several fronts and the brewing of a black swan.
In fact, this possibility exists, because a black swan may already be brewing right now. This is whether France will boycott the Winter Olympics.
This incident is very interesting, and it can even be said to be a bit weird. The root cause may be due to differences of opinion within the French government.
Also yesterday, the French Minister of National Education, Jean Michel Blanche, stated in an interview with French television that France would not follow the United States in its diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics, on the grounds that it should not politicize sports.
He also stated that France will continue to condemn the CCP’s human rights violations. He himself will not go to Beijing, and representing the French government will be Roxana Maracineanu, the ministerial representative in charge of sports affairs.
The CCP is of course a treasure for this. Party media at all levels from Xinhua News Agency immediately published this news in the headlines, and happily released a very eye-catching headline: France announced that it would not “diplomatically boycott” Beijing. Winter Olympics.
But almost at the same time, France had a different view. According to the Agence France-Presse report, just when the Minister of Education Blanche made his statement, an official of his own entourage immediately explained to AFP anonymously that his remarks should indicate that France just did not consider it. Fully boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The official emphasized that France’s position on sending diplomats to the Winter Olympics is still in the discussion stage and has not yet been finalized. Because at the diplomatic level, whether France diplomatically boycotts the Beijing Winter Olympics should be expressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, not the Minister of Education.
So what is the attitude of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs? Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian then publicly rebutted and stated that he is still seeking a possible EU diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics and adopting a common position.
Le Drian’s original words at the press conference were like this: “We are in favor of taking a common position and we will consider all issues in the next or next (EU) foreign ministers’ meeting. But this issue must be dealt with at the European level.”
Including French President Macron also expressed his opinion at a press conference yesterday, saying that only a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics will not have much effect.
Then the party media felt a little happy excitement. The next headline reported that Macron stated that France would not follow: “Diplomatic boycott” The Beijing Winter Olympics is just a show and it is meaningless.
What needs to be noted here is that the CCP is playing with selective reporting and deliberately creating blind spots in information. Because according to a report by Radio France, Macron reiterated a sentence after expressing this maverick opinion, saying: “Together with EU partners and the International Olympic Committee, France will be in the next few weeks. Make a decision.” The party media reported nothing about this sentence.
Therefore, France’s attitude is actually still to be determined. The CCP can’t wait to play it up, which is tantamount to a gamble. If France is really like Macron said, since it’s better not to resist, the CCP may get away with it. If, in the end, France still keeps pace with the EU and agrees to a diplomatic boycott, the CCP will lose its face.
[ITF low-key suspension of Chinese competitions]
In addition to the boycotts of various governments, there is another line of boycott that is worth noting, which is the Peng Shuai storm that has been unabated some time ago.
In recent days, attention to the Peng Shuai incident has declined, but yesterday Reuters released an exclusive news that is worth mentioning. An International Tennis Federation (ITF) source confirmed to Reuters that it will not be in 2022. China hosts World Tennis Tour events. “Foresight Quick Review”
The person did not mention that this is related to Peng Shuai, but only confirmed that the 2022 ITF World Tennis Tournament will not be arranged in China regardless of the men’s and women’s categories.
This is a noteworthy development, because only 4 days ago, on December 6, ITF Chairman Hagerty still stated that the ITF supports all women’s rights, but “does not want to punish 1 billion people” and therefore will not temporarily Follow the WTA’s practice of suspending Chinese events, and continue to hold youth events in China as well as adult events currently being held in China.
On December 7th, 3 days ago, the International Olympic Committee, the only organization that had two video calls with Peng Shuai, issued a new statement stating that they could not provide any affirmative answers to Peng Shuai’s incident. This sounds obviously different from the statement made by the International Olympic Committee after the phone call.
Why is the ITF’s approach changing? Why is the IOC’s statement being adjusted? It is difficult for us to know the real reason, but these signs show that many things may be quietly changing under the surface of the water, all pointing in one direction, that is, saying no to the CCP. You can’t just say nothing but take action.
[The Chinese Communist Party’s Retaliation: Suspend the Import of American Blockbusters]
Speaking of actions, we all know that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China publicly threatened yesterday that all countries that boycotted the Winter Olympics would pay the price.
Let’s not say that this kind of face is tantamount to self-exposure, because it shows that the CCP cares very much about foreign guests coming to participate in the Winter Olympics, and even threatens with gangsters. My family holds a party to entertain guests. Who else would come to join us? , Just wait for me to trouble you, right?
Even if the CCP really dares to retaliate one by one, how will it retaliate? The United States bears the brunt. Maybe my friends have seen the news and said that just the day before yesterday (Wednesday), the CCP suddenly notified that all US imported films would be suspended, except for those that have been fixed.
This news is said to come from insiders on the mainland. The Chinese Communist Party has not officially announced it publicly, but I think this is in line with the Chinese Communist Party’s usual method. Because of the “Korean Restriction Order” that has been going on for six full years, which is to block Korean film and showbiz stars from entering the mainland market, it was suddenly lifted recently. The Korean movie “Oh! “Wen Ji” was screened in mainland cinemas on December 3.
The reason behind it is simple. South Korea has stated that it will not follow the United States to boycott the Winter Olympics. The CCP immediately abolished the Korean restrictions imposed by the installation of the THAAD anti-missile system. In other words, the so-called national security of the CCP is actually far less important than South Korea’s participation in the Winter Olympics.
In the eyes of the CCP, stopping the introduction of American blockbusters is a severe countermeasure against the United States. This is a bit funny, because at most, a few Hollywood studios have lost part of their box office revenue, which is nothing to the US government.
What’s more, the CCP itself has to make less money after banning American blockbusters. For the public, it cuts American film and television dramas across the board. I’m afraid everyone can only watch “Changjin Lake”, anti-Japanese thunder dramas, and even model dramas. Up.
From this point of view, the CCP is still quite a chicken thief. It has found a target meaning in the film and television industry. It may not be possible to lift the ban after the Olympics are over. It’s hard to say who needs whom more.
[Nicaragua breaks diplomatic war at the Taiwan Democracy Summit]
Another battlefield that puts the CCP into a bitter battle, of course, is the ongoing democracy summit. So far, this summit has two major highlights.
At the beginning, we mentioned that the Democracy Summit was extremely humiliating to the CCP, so that Xinhua News Agency rarely lost control and opened a “yellow tone”, which shows how irritating it is. The most noticeable thing at this summit is of course Taiwan’s participation, and Tang Feng, the political committee member attending on behalf of Taiwan, will issue a “national statement” via video.
Everyone, listen to the “State Statement”. You don’t need to read the content. The name alone is enough to raise the CCP’s blood pressure. Therefore, in order to suppress the limelight in Taiwan, China used a trick that Nicaragua suddenly announced yesterday that it severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan and resumed diplomatic relations with the Chinese Communist Party.
Why is it said that it is recovery? Because this is the second time that Nicaragua broke off diplomatic relations with the ROC government, the last time was 36 years ago, and it is very interesting that the president of Nicaragua was the same person, named Ortega, at the time of the two severance of diplomatic relations.
This person can obviously be regarded as an old friend of the CCP. We can basically conclude that the CCP is able to make such a fickle person so obedient to detonate the bomb on the day of the Democracy Summit in a timely and precise manner. It must be a big price. .
This is the biggest diplomatic and propaganda war of the CCP against the Democracy Summit. Its purpose is to distract the focus of the international community and dilute Taiwan’s attention to attending the Democracy Summit.
This kind of competition cost a lot of money, but the effect is not good, because it has formed a contrast, that is, everyone can see that Taiwan’s diplomacy is conquering the world’s mainstream society, US-Taiwan relations, Europe-Taiwan relations, and Japan-Taiwan relations. The CCP has frequently failed in these areas and can only rely on huge purchases to take the road of encircling the cities from the countryside.
This actually reflects the fact that the CCP has been a bit poor in coping with the drastic changes in Taiwan’s international status.
[More than sanctions? The U.S. has bigger plans]
The second point is that at the summit yesterday, US Secretary of State Blincoln and Secretary of the Treasury Yellen emphasized the necessity of combating transnational corruption in their speeches. Among them, the US State Department will establish the role of global anti-corruption coordinator, and the US Treasury Department An anti-corruption fund will be established to reward those who can provide clues about corruption in the United States by foreign leaders.
Particularly eye-catching is the anti-corruption fund of the Ministry of Finance, because it opens a very effective and fast channel for many people in the Chinese Communist system who want to get out of the sinking ship but have no way out.
This hand alone is enough to make many powerful and powerful people in the system ticklish. Of course, judging from Yellen’s speech, this decision is very tempting. As for the actual implementation extent in the future, objectively speaking, it is still unknown.
In my personal opinion, the introduction of these specific actions and policies is relatively secondary. The real significance of this democratic summit is that this is the first time after the war that the United States has held a League of Nations conference that has the meaning of “council lords.” This conference not only has a program and a charter, but also has actual execution power.
The United States has announced sanctions on officials in Xinjiang, as well as new sanctions on SenseTime and SMIC soon.
Such a mechanism is established and held once a year to become a permanent mechanism. In fact, it may become another large-scale international alliance form outside the United Nations. In the future, it may even establish more permanent institutions, just like the cloth The anti-corruption coordinator led by Lincoln is the same.
In this ideologically demarcated multilateral mechanism, the United States is the initiator and a well-deserved leader. The purpose of this mechanism is very clear, which is to defend the democratic system to dominate the world and cannot be subverted by autocracy. what does this mean? Isn’t this just to maintain the established world order?
Therefore, the United States is actually trying to bypass the UN mechanism and establish an international platform that is completely self-directed and more efficient. This is a bit like a backup to the UN mechanism and a bit like a supplement. Perhaps, in the future competition between the United States and China, we will see that this mechanism will play an increasingly important role, allowing the whole world to gradually get used to a dual-track system of the United Nations and the Democracy Summit.
Okay, we are here for today. Thank you for watching. See you next time.
