On June 6, Elizabeth truss, who had just been elected as the leader of the conservative party, accepted the official appointment of Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland, becoming the third British female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May.
Although people in Europe and the United States had decided as early as the beginning of this year that truss would succeed Johnson as prime minister, we still need to talk about the impact of this change of government. After all, Johnson is the most king like person in the world, and is also the second leader of the P5 Standing Committee to be ousted.
Although the biggest headache must be the third big man, Trump’s beloved Putin, this replacement is not really good news for us.
Before that, Johnson’s “Anti China” was similar to trump’s, except that it was a means rather than an end. He shouted doctrine in his mouth and was full of business in his heart.
Biivanka and Kushner have established profound friendship with Cui Tiankai, our ambassador to the United States, and Stanley, Johnson’s father, has also become close friends with Zheng Zeguang, our ambassador to the United Kingdom. Although diplomatic conflicts between China and the United States and between China and the United Kingdom continue, there are direct and close contacts between the heads of state.
In Xie Ruolin’s words, put two stacks of RMB here. Tell me which one is noble and which one is dirty. Although the United Kingdom followed the United States in imposing sanctions on China, the Johnson administration often took a step further and then stepped back. Through the deepening of economic and trade relations, it remained at arm’s length with China.
However, compared with leaders such as trump and Johnson who come to power by relying on a large number of voters, they must meet the economic interests of the people and solve a series of economic problems. Truss, who was pushed to power by the leaders of the British Conservative Party, considers the interests of interest groups within the conservative party, especially the interests of the oil and military industry group.
At the beginning of this year, when Johnson was troubled by various negative factors, truss, backed by the British Petroleum military industry group, carried out a series of secret transactions with Iran involving oil and military industry, successfully rescued two Britons who had been imprisoned in Iran for six years and reunited with their families, becoming a hot star in politics.
In the past, in the Johnson era, the British government was talking about economic interests. Now, when truss becomes prime minister, he must give back to the oil and military industry group behind him. Under the banner of anti Russia and Anti China, he will gain benefits by creating geopolitical tensions.
After all, trading with China also makes hard money, while selling a “typhoon” can easily earn 100 million, and approving legal documents for a Russian oil tanker can earn hundreds of millions. Such violence can hardly stop the big capitalists of the British Empire from making such a wave of fast money.
Therefore, truss’s “anti Russia” and “Anti China” during her election campaign are not just slogans, but her ruling line. Through showing her muscles externally, she provides benefits for the British military industry and energy groups to gain support and stabilize her own regime.
Therefore, with truss coming to power, with the collusion of the energy and military industry group, the relationship between Britain and the United States will further advance by leaps and bounds, Russia and the United Kingdom will deteriorate sharply, and the relationship between China and the United Kingdom will probably regress.
Of course, this is not a bad thing.
On the one hand, based on economic interests, the Johnson administration still maintains close economic and trade exchanges with the European Union despite calling for “hard brexit”. However, after truss, supported by the petroleum military industry group, takes office, the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, which has been cut by the petroleum military industry group, will inevitably deteriorate rapidly, which will certainly push the European Union to China.
On the other hand, Britain, which has lost its original flexibility in diplomacy, and Russia, which is deeply mired in war, can only further turn to China. In this month’s SCO series of activities, it sang a song about China’s cooperation with Central Asia: “my door is always open, and open arms are waiting for you”.
