After the hustle and bustle, the US Congress finally confirmed the validity of the 2020 presidential election on Thursday. However, it is still unknown whether this step will improve or worsen the situation in the United States.
Although people had anticipated the chaos that the Capitol will experience on Wednesday, its severity exceeded many expectations. It is unclear how the situation will play out next. Especially considering that outgoing President Trump has a few days to “play” with the power of the world’s greatest power in his own way.
Although he has announced that he will realize the “orderly” transfer of power, he has spent four years telling the world that the “order” he understands may be far from the original intention of order.
The so-called peaceful protests that supported Trump turned out to be so ugly. The United States, which is a model of democracy, should reflect on how it has come to be today.
But no matter how many protesters gathered on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, no matter how hysterical they are to voice their appeals, they must not forget that they challenged a legitimate election that was conducted according to the rules agreed upon by the Americans. And they themselves are all part of the Americans.
Compared to the riots in Washington on Wednesday and the race riots that have swept across the United States this year, there is really no need for more evidence to show that the factors that actually exacerbate the structural tension between the US state. And society is not at the level of Trump and Biden policies. The specific difference, but the huge gap in the value level is reflected behind this difference.
Although it is still unknown how the Biden administration will fulfill or violate its campaign promises, the Trump administration provides an extremely typical example from the world to illustrate the scope of unilateralism and hegemonism in just a few short years. The combination of nationalism, under the coercion and impulse of narrow nationalism, can cause one country to die and even affect the entire world.
The Trump administration’s disregard and destruction of the rules-based international order, the global governance system, and the world market are obvious to all. This administration has not only isolated the United States, but it has also taken a historic step backward to address almost all global challenges. The most typical of them is the management of the new corona pneumonia epidemic, which directly explains what is understood by the national level. America’s epidemic is also waking the world: once the captain loses his way and gets separated from his crew, let alone “big again,” there is no way to start and end.
As Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying said, as the epidemic spreads, we especially hope that the American people can achieve peace, stability and security as soon as possible.
Just as many countries have to overcome development hurdles, whether the United States can get back on track will never depend on how long this situation can calm down, but on the extent to which this country can rally responsibly, capable, around the forward-thinking government, they are serious about solving systemic problems that the United States cannot avoid. Challenges such as income disparity, racial issues, and social disruption have been deliberately ignored or covered up for too long. But these problems are all “miscellaneous diseases” that affect the whole body, involving the redistribution of benefits in key areas.
If Biden can learn enough lessons this Wednesday, the “darkest” in US history, the pain this country has experienced over the years may turn into “growth problems” rather than a precursor to accelerated aging. .
