The turning point of the world order has arrived! Why doesn't the US attack the Houthis? Why has Europe collectively fallen silent?
This is absolute confidence, and it also tells you that you can hit with 100% accuracy, or even 10,100, or 2,000 kilometers away, you can hit 3,000,4,000, or 5,000 kilometers. Whoever dares to support Israel will be targeted. Can you guess whether I can strike all the U.S. and European military bases in Asia, Africa, and Europe? Then on May 6th, President Trump suddenly announced a ceasefire agreement with the Houthi rebels in Yemen, ending months of military action. Although the Houthi rebels later issued a face-saving statement that the ceasefire did not include an end to attacks on Israel, the United States still unilaterally claimed that it had forced the Houthi rebels to compromise through military action and loudly declared victory.
This ceasefire is widely seen as a dignified retreat strategy adopted by the United States due to the high costs of military operations. The U.S. military spent approximately $120 million on the Red Sea operation, with total expenditures exceeding $7.5 billion over two months. They frequently faced counterattacks from the Houthi rebels, such as shooting down seven mq aircraft, nine drones, and multiple carrier-based aircraft that crashed into the sea. In the end, they chose to declare victory to mask their actual difficulties, but this was all just a facade; if not for being truly intimidated by certain factors. From a Western perspective, how could it be so easily resolved, and then they fled in disgrace? On the same day, May 6th, China and Europe simultaneously lifted all restrictions on exchanges. Our parliament announced the simultaneous cancellation of legislative body exchange restrictions, marking a shift from ideological differences to pragmatic cooperation between the two sides. This move aims to restart negotiations on the Comprehensive Agreement on Investment between China and Europe and deepen cooperation in areas such as climate change and digital rules.
On the same day, we agreed to meet with the U.S. in Switzerland to discuss trade tariffs, all within 48 hours of the Houthi missile launch. Some say it was just a coincidence; do you believe that? Next, let's look at another event that changed the world order. Just one day later, on May 7th, an Indian Rafale fighter jet was shot down by Pakistan. In the Indo-Pakistani air battle, Pakistan used the J-10C fighter jet to shoot down what is claimed to be Europe's strongest aircraft, even rivaling the F-35 in many aspects. Our new combat system has completely transformed the future of warfare, and we are currently invincible in this area. During this period, the U.S. cleverly prevented American fighter jets from participating in the conflict, leading many countries to reasonably suspect whether the U.S. knew something in advance. After all, you can question America's moral standards, but not its military capabilities. The following day, on May 8th, India saw a net sell-off of $1.2 billion worth of government bonds, setting a record high since 2006. This reflects short-term concerns about India's security environment and economic stability, with military strength being a necessary guarantee for any economic development.
If military capabilities are questioned, the corresponding foreign investment will inevitably decrease, or even be lost. Imagine a Japanese company heavily investing in India; if India were to go to war with us, wouldn't Japanese companies, which already have strained relations with us, be inadvertently affected? Isn't it because of sufficient security that the United States attracts global capital? For capital, safety is paramount. This is why Modi cannot admit defeat, and he even holds a series of 11-day celebrations to create an illusion that everything is under control, avoiding a lack of confidence in capital and further capital outflows.But the market has already voted with its feet; the triple whammy of stocks, bonds, and futures is telling. This is just a small part of the losses. The bigger blow is that fence-sitting India has lost bargaining power with Europe and America, or rather, their bargaining power has been significantly diminished. For decades, India supported and tolerated India on the European and American chessboard, and now it has been beaten so badly that it will inevitably reduce its future support for India. When a piece loses its ability to restrain its surroundings, its status will inevitably decline sharply. Moreover, Modi's recent rebuke of Russia has made India's position even less favorable internationally. Even so, India still puts on a brave face, confidently telling the United States that if East Asia can reach a trade agreement with you, I can too, and I need the same tariff terms. The most absurd aspect of India is its blind confidence that China can do what it can, which has led India into its current awkward situation.
Then came the ceasefire between India and Pakistan on May 10th, followed by the preliminary results of the Sino-US tariff negotiations on May 12th. How smooth was that? If someone says these two events have nothing to do with each other, would you believe it? Without the Houthi supersonic missiles and without Pakistan's defeat of the Rafale aircraft that overwhelmed the Indian Air Force, would things be so quickly settled given the nature of Europe, America, and India? The answer is definitely no. The West excels at drawing out a fight; once they are determined to win, they will create numerous leverage points to force you into concessions. When they are willing to sit down for talks, it only proves that they have no cards left to play, or even that they are powerless. In the face of military superiority and suppression, this sense of powerlessness far outweighs the feeling of being technologically and economically overtaken. After Iran's shutdown, the outstanding performance of the Houthis and Pakistan finally revealed the Western mindset: they must become stronger and more assertive to make them learn to speak properly. Otherwise, they will always present themselves as the most contemptible in the world. For smaller countries, this is even more significant. This change in the war model has given them hope to protect their own interests.
It turns out that you Europeans and Americans aren't so strong after all. It seems that with just a few tens of millions of aircraft and missiles, they can bring down hundreds of millions of planes. If I equip myself with some Chinese weapons in the future, wouldn't I be able to stop being drained by Europe and America? At least, it would give me hope that I won't be used as a pawn by them anymore. Once this seed of resistance is planted, it will be a disaster for those countries that live off exploitation. Yes, what I'm saying is that you Franks and others are not afraid of fighting; they just don't want to fight fairly. Now that the opportunity has come, everyone is willing to take a chance and break free from their centuries-old shackles. Therefore, the series of events that occurred in just over ten days in May were not isolated incidents but interconnected, each causing the other. The Houthi's shocking missile strike and Pakistan's fatal blow shattered the myth of invincibility of Western military technology and made the American and European politicians, who have been accustomed to looking up to themselves, truly feel pain and fear. This led to the subsequent U.S. rapid capitulation, a significant shift in attitude towards us by Europe and America, the handshake between India and Pakistan, and progress in Sino-U.S. negotiations. The world order has undergone a tremendous transformation, and we have all witnessed this historic turning point.
This time, we are no longer spectators who can only clap and cheer or passively beat. We are also chess players and one of the rule makers.
