This year has been difficult for everyone. 2022 will have a particularly great impact on you, me, society, the country, and even the world.

Many major events that happened this year will definitely leave a mark in human history.

Next, let us review what major events will happen in the world in 2022.

First, India surpassed the United Kingdom to become the world's fifth largest economy

The United Kingdom was once a superpower, and India was colonized by the British for nearly 200 years. The former colony surpassed its former mother country. This change has attracted worldwide attention. Some people applaud India, while others think that India is still very bad in all aspects and has only temporarily surpassed Britain.

Netizens in India and the UK are also quarreling over this issue over whether the UK has declined or India has developed.

Judging from the current British economy and the situation of nationwide strikes, Western media are more inclined to believe that Britain is in decline.

India has surpassed the UK and become the fifth largest economy in the world. For the Chinese, this may not be a big surprise. After all, we surpassed the UK in 2006. But it is of far-reaching significance to India, the United Kingdom, and the world. This should be another former colony surpassing the United Kingdom after the United States surpassed the United Kingdom 100 years ago. The most important point is that the United States and the United Kingdom should be regarded as Anglo-Saxons , while India is an inferior ethnic group that was once discriminated against by the United Kingdom. What is even more interesting is that the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sunak , has Indian ancestry.

Second, the Russia-Ukraine conflict

html On February 21, Russian President Putin signed an order recognizing the " Donetsk " and " Luhansk " in eastern Ukraine.

On February 24, Ukraine announced the closure of its national airspace. Zelensky stated that the entire territory of Ukraine would enter a wartime state. The Russian army began shelling military command centers and airports in Ukraine and other areas, and the Ukrainian National Guard headquarters was destroyed.

I thought it would be a quick and decisive war, but I never imagined that it would lead to the current situation. The initial local conflict has stirred up the world's political and economic landscape.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the energy crisis . High energy prices affect all walks of life, leading to higher inflation in most countries.

Then there is the food crisis. Ukraine is the world's second largest food exporter, and the war caused the export of Ukrainian agricultural products to decrease and prices to soar, which once led to a global food crisis.

The energy crisis and the food crisis were superimposed, and the war continued to escalate. A large amount of capital fled Europe to the United States for safety, causing the euro-dollar exchange rate to fall below 1.

2022 will soon become history, and this war is still going on, with no sign of ending.

Third, The Federal Reserve raised interest rates

U.S. inflation hit a 40-year record high. In order to curb the high inflation, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 425 basis points in March, officially starting the first interest rate increase since 2015, and it has been out of control since then.

html The interest rates were raised by 50 basis points in May, and the interest rates were raised by 75 basis points for four consecutive months in June, July, September, and November, and another 50 basis points increase in December.

The Federal Reserve will raise interest rates 7 times in 2022, by 425 basis points.

This radical interest rate hike directly caused the global stock market to plummet. However, even so, the Federal Reserve remains tough and will continue to raise interest rates next year.

Fourth, Sri Lanka went bankrupt

On July 6, 2022, the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka officially declared Sri Lanka bankrupt.

In fact, in March, Sri Lanka was already in danger. At that time, because there was no money to import paper and pen and ink, it was announced that the entire country's school examinations would be postponed indefinitely.

Running out of money to import coal and turning off street lights across the country led hundreds of protesters to try to break into the presidential palace.

html In April, the President of Sri Lanka declared a state of emergency and instituted a curfew. Immediately afterwards, large-scale riots broke out. The Sri Lankan government shut down national social platforms and further tightened the curfew. Subsequently, 26 ministers collectively announced their resignation.

html In May, as the number of protesters increased, nine people, including two members of Congress, were killed and hundreds of others were injured.

The Prime Minister of Sri Lanka announced his resignation, and protesters also called for the resignation of the President.

html In June, the new Prime Minister announced that the country was experiencing food shortages and that the country's economy had completely collapsed.

html In July, the President of Sri Lanka declared the country officially bankrupt.

Sri Lanka has summer-like weather all year round. Although there is no industrial base, the tourism industry is developed and life is not bad. However, the sudden new coronavirus in 2020 severely damaged Sri Lanka's tourism industry.

To make matters worse, in 2021, the president actually announced the comprehensive implementation of an environmental protection strategy due to financial constraints, banning the import and use of all chemical fertilizers and pesticides. As a result, planting costs increased and crop yields decreased.

The new crown epidemic and the decline in crop production have forced the country to use foreign exchange to purchase food. At this time, food prices have skyrocketed due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

There is no industry, agriculture and tourism are not satisfactory. Coupled with a population of more than 20 million and a foreign debt of more than 50 billion US dollars, it is reasonable for Sri Lanka to go bankrupt.

Fifth, Shinzo Abe was assassinated

On July 8, 2022, when former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was giving a speech on the street, he was shot and attacked by Tetsuya Yamama, and finally died of his injuries.

Although Tetsuya Yamama beat the former Prime Minister to death, the Japanese people did not blame him. Instead, he gained sympathy from countless people. People even spontaneously wrote a joint letter to plead for Tetsuya Yamama, and some people mailed him gifts and money in prison.

These kind-hearted people said that if they want Toruya Yamama to be acquitted, they can only rely on the mental evaluation of the relevant departments.

However, after a recent appraisal, Tetsuya Yamama was mentally normal. If nothing else goes wrong, the trial will begin next.

Sixth, extreme high temperatures

In the summer of 2022, extreme high temperatures occurred almost simultaneously around the world. China, the United States, India, Europe and other countries and regions experienced extreme high temperatures above 40°C in large areas, and the number of consecutive days broke historical records.

Extreme high temperatures not only cause Antarctic icebergs to melt faster, but also cause rivers to dry up and reduce food production.

United Nations Secretary-General Guterres warned during the Berlin Conference on July 18 that more than half of the world's humanity is at risk of high temperatures, floods, droughts and extreme storms, and no country will be spared.

Seventh, Queen Elizabeth II of England passed away

On September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II of England passed away.

The longest-reigning monarch in the United Kingdom has gone through 70 years of ups and downs with the United Kingdom. During her reign, the United Kingdom experienced the disintegration of the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets," the British-Malaysian War, post-war recovery and decline, Brexit, the new crown epidemic and other major events that affected the fate of the United Kingdom.

Eighth, Stampede in Itaewon, Seoul, South Korea

On the evening of October 29, 2022, a stampede occurred at the Halloween celebration in Itaewon, Seoul, South Korea.

A slope about 3.2 meters wide and about 45 meters long caused the death of 156 people in this accident, including 101 women and 55 men, including 4 Chinese citizens.

There are different opinions on the reasons for the tragedy. Witnesses said that someone fell down in an alley, and the people following him piled on top of each other one after another, causing the accident.

Some people also say that watching celebrities and clubs handing out candies led to the disaster.

In fact, there is only one real reason. There are too many people in Itaewon and .

Official data shows that there were more than 130,000 tourists in Itaewon that night. In the alley where the stampede occurred, there were actually more than 300 people in the 18-square-meter central area, with 4 to 5 people per square meter, far exceeding the critical value of progressive crowd collapse.

Any space environment that reaches this level of congestion will most likely cause casualties.

The Itaewon stampede incident tells us that safety is the top priority in group activities.

ninth, Qatar World Cup

The 22nd FIFA World Cup will be held at 8 stadiums in Qatar from November 20 to December 18, 2022.

This is the first time in the history of the World Cup that it has been held in Qatar and Middle Eastern countries, and it is also the second time that the World Cup has been held in Asia.

Although Qatar’s population is less than half that of Beijing Tiantongyuan, its spending is quite generous. It cost more than the total cost of the previous 21 World Cups, reaching US$229 billion!

32 teams, after 64 games, the Argentine team led by Messi won the championship. This was the first time Argentina won the Hercules Cup after 36 years, and Messi won the Golden Globe .

Tenth, the end of the epidemic

In the process of human civilization, a large-scale plague will break out every few centuries. Unfortunately, we have caught up with this wave.

In the face of the mutation of the new coronavirus, the scientific and technological power that mankind is proud of has almost no resistance, because the vaccine developed against the current virus may have expired before it is launched on the market.

The so-called pandemic is only three years old. On December 26, the National Health Commission officially issued a notice to rename new coronavirus pneumonia to new coronavirus infection . The implementation of "Category B and B Control", the cancellation of nucleic acid testing and centralized quarantine for all employees after entry, and the orderly resumption of overseas travel for Chinese citizens, mark that my country's epidemic has gradually entered the final stage, and also means that "COVID-19" is about to withdraw from the stage of history.

From the first discovery of new coronavirus infections at the end of 2019, to the end of 2022 when the new coronavirus pneumonia was renamed and downgraded, a full three years have passed.

In the past three years, people have experienced countless joys and sorrows, witnessed touching heroic stories, seen certain farces constantly being staged, and experienced the warmth and complexity of human nature. In the past three years of

, we have witnessed the birth of a series of new terms, from green code, yellow code, red code to gray code and blue code, from city closure to static management to silent management. There are too many new terms. I sincerely hope that humans will no longer have infectious diseases.
