Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States and the West have launched rounds of sanctions on Russia in order to defeat Russia. Unexpectedly, the US and the West not only failed, but instead put themselves in an energy crisis. Russia is not in chaos yet, but the West is beginning to lose its foothold.
According to the Global Times on September 16, workers at the largest container port of the UK, , intend to conduct a second eight-day strike to express their dissatisfaction with wages. The new strike plans run from September 27 to October 5, "will inevitably lead to supply chain delays and disruptions in the UK". In fact, it is not just the UK. As winter approaches, Europe's energy crisis is getting worse and worse, and strike waves are rising in many European countries. Previously, Biden and stated to Europe that the United States will send more natural gas to to help Western allies get rid of their dependence on Russian natural gas supply. As a result, the US shale industry executive with a large number of oil and gas reserves said, "This is how our production is, and the United States cannot increase production on a large scale." It is worth mentioning that a letter from the US Secretary of Energy previously disclosed by the US media. In a letter, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm asked major U.S. energy refiners not to increase fuel exports. Kissinger has long reminded that being an enemy of the United States is dangerous, but being an ally of the United States is fatal. I don’t know when the EU will wake up.
Just when the West was in chaos, the United States also had difficulty in protecting itself. As early as two days ago, US media broke out that American railway workers were planning a national railway strike that was "see you once in 30 years". You should know that unions have always been supporters of the Democratic Party. Obviously, this will affect Biden's midterm elections. According to Observer.com on September 15, US Labor Secretary Walsh negotiated overnight with the freight railway company and a union representing tens of thousands of workers on the 14th, trying to avoid this strike that may trigger economic turmoil. In the early morning of September 15 local time, Biden announced that under Walsh's coordination, after overnight negotiations, the freight railroad company and the union representing tens of thousands of workers reached a preliminary agreement to avoid strikes that could cause economic losses. According to previous news, September 16 was the original strike time, and the agreement was reached in the early morning to resolve the crisis. It seems a bit incredible. There was no agreement agreed in the past two months, and the agreement was suddenly reached in just one night. It is very likely that the Biden administration agreed to the demands of American railway workers. One of the previous demands of American railway workers was a 24% salary increase. With the high currency in the United States, there will definitely be more than the railways and highways that have demands for salary increases. Once the Biden administration sets this precedent, there may be truck unions, bus unions, and subway unions... Biden will be upset by then.
Through the above news, we can see that the United States and the West are now in chaos, which seems to be a precursor to the chaos in the world. At this moment, a major conference kicked off, bringing the world's attention to the East, that is, the SCO summit held at the Uzbekistan . During this meeting, China held a bilateral meeting with leaders of many countries. In this chaotic world situation, in-depth exchanges and cooperation between countries face to face is not only crucial to the stable development of bilateral relations, but also very beneficial to regional peace and stability. During the meeting, China stated that the more in this situation, the more we should reflect the responsibility of a major country, play a leading role, and inject stability into the world of chaos. As long as China and Russia are there, they will definitely strive to ensure that the world is "unchaos", and hegemony "unchaos"!
