Chapter 760 War and Peace (1) (2 in 1)
No matter how much the network criticized, the changed program list would not be changed back, and the politically correct media began to shift their attention to "G20 topics" outside the party, which successfully distracted the public's attention.
China News Network reported: "On August 9, the veil of the G20 Shanghai Summit Press Center was unveiled to the world for the first time. Journalists from various countries were attracted by the "Chinese style". A screen made of ancient wood and gauze
, the fence decorated with "Spring Residence in Fushan", the photo wall of Shanghai scenery, and the enthusiastic volunteer "Xiao Qinghe"... constitute a beautiful picture of the Jiangnan water town."
"I have never seen such a good news center!" A media colleague who has visited more than 60 countries and participated in seven G20 summit reports praised.
"What is commendable is not only the design of the press center, but also its practicality. There are 1,500 public seats for reporters, 500 desktop computers with Chinese and English bilingual operating systems, 112 dedicated work rooms, and real-time rolling LEDs that provide public audio and video signals.
Large screens and a sense of technology are within reach in every corner of the news center. On the platform, telephones equipped with dual receivers attracted everyone's attention. Its name is "Bilingual Telephone", which is the organizer's wireless phone number.
Another innovation in barrier services, professionals in 14 languages including English, Japanese, Korean, and German have established this unified platform to provide translation services 24 hours a day. The venue operator told reporters that the press center can serve approximately 4,700 people at the same time.
Journalists provide services.”
Shanghai TV reported: "On August 10, the first press conference of the G20 Shanghai Summit series was held in the Press Center Press Hall. All 200 seats were occupied half an hour before the meeting started. The press conference
At the beginning, the corridors on both sides of the conference hall were filled with reporters.

On August 13, various media had already gathered in Shanghai. At this time, many foreign leaders had already arrived in Shanghai, such as President Nazar of Kazakhstan and President Meir of Brazil. Chairman Hua Jing of China was also there.
Arriving in Shanghai the next day, he met with the leaders of Indonesia, Senegal, Laos, Brazil and Singapore.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is Brazilian President Mel, who just took office on August 31. He said to China President Hua Jing: "After I became president, I was able to choose China as my first country to visit, which is very important to me.
It’s a great honor.”
On August 14, senior officials from the 20 countries arrived one after another to start a "warm-up" meeting of the G20, and held heated discussions around focus topics such as the Libyan war. According to reports, the parties still have large differences on many key issues, which may
It affects the achievement of substantive results of the "Seoul Declaration" scheduled to be released last year.
According to the official agenda, the six-day G20 summit will mainly discuss several topics: the current world security situation, the reform of international financial institutions, energy issues, and the two major issues proposed by the host China: solving nuclear issues and environmental protection and development issues.
.
However, the outside world is most concerned about the Libyan war that has plagued various countries. The United States just withdrew its troops from Iraq at the end of 2011, and in February this year, it joined forces with some European countries to launch the Libyan war. At this moment, Libya is still in dire straits.
On March 7, 2012, France first launched an air strike against Libya. On March 21, the US-UK coalition launched twelve Tomahawk cruise missiles towards Libya, and dispatched the ace bomber B2 in the second round of attack.
On April 6, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs publicly criticized Western countries' military actions against Libya. He took a tough stance and accused Western countries, led by the United States, of taking advantage of the ambiguity of the United Nations Resolution 1973 to impose a "no-fly" policy to prevent civilians from being harmed.
Agreement" turned into an airstrike.
A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs believed that this set a "very dangerous precedent" because according to this logic, ground troops could also be sent. "It seems legal, but it contains very dangerous tendencies."
On April 19, the African Union protested against the coalition action on the 19th, believing that France, the United States, Britain and other countries were "abusing" the resolution, and warned that the action may cause a serious humanitarian disaster.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lukashevich also said on the 19th that Russia regrets that some countries have taken military actions against Libya on the grounds of resolutions passed by the United Nations Security Council. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lukashevich said on the 20th,
Russia strongly calls on relevant countries involved in military operations against Libya to stop using excessive force.
The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the 20th, expressing regret for the air strikes launched by the United States, Britain, France and other countries against Libya, and calling on all parties to publicly abandon the use of force and resolve differences through peaceful means.
On May 7, the Libyan National Tribal Conference officially concluded. More than 800 tribes supported the government and opposed the anti-government forces. After hearing the news, Western countries discussed countermeasures and jointly put pressure on Gaddafi. Government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim expressed disapproval.
Will give up the revolution.
On May 23, Italian Foreign Minister Frattini called on Libya to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible in order to deliver humanitarian relief supplies to the country. The United States, Britain, and France did not agree, and even "sneered". Reports said that this showed that NATO members
Internal disagreements over action in Libya have become public.
On June 17, South African President Zuma condemned NATO, saying that NATO was a shameless organization and would be defeated.
On June 18, Gaddafi gave a speech, saying that NATO would be defeated, fall into a people's war, and be defeated by the people. NATO used retaliatory air strikes to attack pro-government people, causing casualties.
On June 19, members of the U.S. Congress sued Omar, claiming that he abused his power and used force to attack Libya without parliamentary consent.
On July 25, NATO bombed the Libyan state television station.
At this time, the war was still going on.
The smoke of the Iraq War has not yet cleared, and this time the war in Libya has started again, not just among the 20 countries. This has further intensified the concerns of all countries in the world in this regard.
In the past few days, the defense ministers of the G20 countries have conducted intensive discussions on the issue of the war in Libya, aiming to prepare for the next leaders' summit.
Prior to this, the U.S. Congress proposed to limit funding for war support and stop supplying funds for the war in Libya. However, the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed a resolution on extending the military strike against Libya on the 13th, making Omar's extended strike plan pass the first hurdle.
Son.
On the same day, Hua Jing publicly accused US Secretary of State Kerry of "lying" on the Syrian issue.
The American "Time" magazine said that although the weather in Shanghai is hot, the atmosphere at the Shanghai International Convention Center may be as cold as winter.
Russian RT TV station called: "It's time to switch to the issue of war. The G20 summit held in China must prove that it is not a paper tiger."
However, until the 14th, differences between countries were still wide.
A South Korean official attending the meeting revealed on the 14th that member states are still unable to reach consensus on key issues that may be included in the meeting communiqué, such as whether to strengthen commitments, oppose armed conflicts and strengthen bilateral cooperation.
The British "Guardian" headlined "Omar and Beijing to clash over Libya at summit". The summit was shrouded in the Middle East crisis and has evolved into an international showdown, although the official agenda is still environmental protection and economic issues.
.
The US "Time" magazine said that as US missiles continue to attack Libya, the hope that the G20 summit will focus on economic and environmental issues may be in vain, just like Hua Jing and Omar reaching an agreement is unlikely.
Agence France-Presse said that as senior government officials lobbied Congress, Omar himself also sought international support during his previous visit to Sweden, denying that he was isolated. He said: "It is not me who draws the red line, but the world, my reputation.
There is no danger, but the reputation of the international community, the United States and Congress is at risk." A spokesperson for U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said that Boehner refused to discuss the Libyan issue with the Chinese delegation.
Hua Jing has previously stated that he supports sending a delegation to the United States to dialogue with the U.S. Congress.
According to Fox News, Hua Jing said during a meeting with members of the China Human Rights Commission that the main fighting force of the Libyan opposition is the branch of Al Qaeda. Kerry knew this, but lied during his testimony in the Senate and used the pretext of combating terrorism to launch air strikes in Libya.
The US "Time" magazine stated that Hua Jing accused the Omar administration of lying to Congress the day before the G20 summit. This statement seemed more like a quarrel in a bar than Zhong Nanhai's statement.
As the international community debates how to respond to the chemical weapons attack in Libya, Hua Jing's tone left no room for compromise during the G20 summit, and was not even polite at all.
The British "Daily Telegraph" said that Omar will meet with French President Audran during the G20 summit, but will not hold a formal meeting with British Prime Minister Karen. Some analysts said that this is because the British Parliament rejected the extension of military strikes.
Libya and received a cold reception.
Although leaders of the United States and China ostensibly tried to ease tensions, international public opinion on the 15th was generally pessimistic.
The G20 officially kicked off on August 15. The first day of talks started with difficulty, and the summit secretly divided into camps.
German TV station reported: "Is the G20 Summit an arena where geopolitics trumps economics? Will Hua Jing and Omar have a showdown over the bombing of Libya? Can the leaders of the 20 most powerful economies abandon the
To start interference and find a good way to revitalize the global economy?... Faced with a long list of questions raised by world public opinion, the Group of Twenty (G20) summit opened in Shanghai on the morning of the 15th local time."
The Associated Press reported: "The G20 summit kicked off in Shanghai. Going to China is like entering a lion's den for Omar. He will face difficult dialogues at the G20 summit...The Libyan issue is a sore point in the very tense US-China relations.
, making people further believe that Omar and Hua Jing cannot get along."
Russia's role has attracted particular attention. Agence France-Presse said that Chinese President Hua Jing's first bilateral meeting was with Russian President Vedev during the G20. This is quite symbolic. The two countries unanimously oppose the West's Libya policy. The report said,
After the meeting between the two heads of state, Gazprom and China's state-owned energy company signed an agreement on "basic conditions" for the export of natural gas from Russia to China along the eastern route.
The Russian "Izvestia" said: "Hua Jing and Omar did not hold bilateral talks during the summit, which is very rare in the history of Sino-US relations."
But the subsequent developments on the 15th made the outside world even more worried.
Although China Central Television reported that at the G20 welcoming ceremony for leaders of various countries, Hua Jing and Omar smiled and shook hands. This was the first time the two leaders shook hands after the G8 summit.
Observers found that the handshake time between Hua Jing and Omar was obviously not as long as that of leaders of other countries.
Agence France-Presse said that Hua Jing and Omar shook hands with diplomatic smiles at the G20 summit in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere in recent weeks. However, judging from the talks that day, the two sides did not release a signal of reconciliation and were still in conflict.
There is a stalemate over Libya.
“The G20 summit will become a stage of struggle for the leaders of the two camps,” Euronews said on the 15th. Focusing on the Libyan issue, the summit has formed two opposing camps headed by the leaders of China and the United States. The future of Libya
The situation will depend on which camp the G20 summit participants support. There is no doubt that Russia will support China, and South Africa also opposes military intervention without UN approval. Brazil and Mexico will not support Omar because of the US surveillance incident.
Brazilian President Meir's spokesman also announced on the 11th that because the president was being monitored by the United States, Brazil would cancel preparations for Mel's visit to the United States next month and instead attend the G20 in China first. Supporters of the United States will include France.
Britain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc.”
Although the host China, which has made great efforts to host the summit, does not want the meeting to be hijacked solely by the Libyan issue, it emphasizes that the theme of the meeting is peace, environmental protection and economic growth.
But in the eyes of public opinion, the Libyan issue has become the focus of the meeting.
On August 15th, both the domestic and foreign media and most ordinary people on this earth were paying attention to the confrontation between China and the United States at the G20. But obviously the atmosphere on the first day was not considered friendly, and neither was the result.
Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, everyone knew that this meeting would decide whether the war would continue and how long it would last.
Obviously, China also had ulterior motives in choosing the "G20 Summit Opening Ceremony" on the day of "the 67th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Fascist War".
Therefore, the party that was hotly discussed in China some time ago has briefly become the focus of the world when it is about to start in two or three hours. Regarding the party that is about to be announced that night, the Chinese media have recently deliberately avoided it.
In fact, a lot of people's attention has been lost, and no one thinks that a party can change anything at this moment.
