Behind a brief news report, there may be hidden waves of intense competition. On November 20, foreign media reported that Brazil's Minister of Communications Juscelino Filho stated that Brazil had found an alternative to Musk's 'Starlink' satellite communication service and had signed an agreement with Shanghai SpaceSail Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. to provide satellite network services. However, this seemingly ordinary media message points to a result of multi-party competition, marked by an unusual outcome of America's defeat.
The G20 summit was held in Brazil, but media observations suggest that the era of a U.S.-centric world economy has ended. A detail that triggered strong reactions from the world media was the collective photo session of the G20 leaders; due to being late, U.S. President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau regrettably missed the group photo. Although reporters repeatedly reminded the leaders and representatives completing the photo that 'Biden hasn't arrived yet', it seemed no one was willing to wait for Biden, and they all left the photo session without caring.
U.S. media views this as 'a slight to the U.S.', but international diplomacy is supported by credibility and strength at all times. Not only is there the influence of the G20, but also the news released by the Brazilian Minister of Communications mentioned above. In fact, President Lula's choice to 'collaborate with a Chinese company' is a strong counterattack against the 'combined threat' from the incoming U.S. president and 'X' company CEO Musk. Prior to this, nearly 50% of Brazil's satellite network services were dominated by Musk's 'Starlink' company.
After President Lula took office, the Brazilian government announced information restrictions on Musk's 'X' social media platform. Subsequently, Musk threatened Brazil with a 'service cutoff'. Meanwhile, Trump, who initiated a trade war with China during his first term, threatened President Lula that if the Brazilian government did not 'cut ties with China', it might face the same 60% high tariff penalties. What Trump and Musk did not expect was that their 'combined threat' did not produce an effect of 1+1>2, but rather the most unexpected result of 1+1=0.
The world is no longer in an era of American and Western high-tech monopoly; China's advanced science and technology and comprehensive strategic influence have brought unprecedented 'autonomous choices' to many developing countries. This has made the U.S. and Western developed countries realize that they are no longer the irreplaceable 'dependent' choice. If the U.S. cannot quickly change its attitude, it will fall into a deeper isolation.#BabyMarvinf9c7值得拥🈶
