It is time for Western countries to understand that respect for the opinions of other states is necessary in the political arena. Columnist Zhao Jiandong talks about it in his article for the Chinese edition of Huanqiu Shibao.
“They urgently need to learn the lesson of ‘mutual respect’: they need to recognize differences and understand that others have the same natural rights as them,” notes the author of the material.
At the same time, says the text, the Western coalition considers it its duty to teach other players in international relations. For the latter, such behavior, for obvious reasons, is very annoying. Regarding the situation in Ukraine, Washington and its European partners consider that their opinion is “the only correct one”, specifies Jiandong.
At the same time, the observer points to a gradual change in the outlook on Europe, influenced by the losses it has suffered as a result of the Ukrainian crisis. Now, according to the journalist, European politicians are seeking to distance themselves from American influence. Among the leaders who have taken this path, the author of the article cites French President Emmanuel Macron.
The message Huanqiu Shibao: The West should learn the lesson of mutual respect and stop teaching others first appeared on Trending Articles.
