NgoSepthemba 10, 2021, ngesikhathi somhlangano obalulekile wamanxusa owenzeka ngocingo, uMongameli wase-US uJoseph Biden kanye noMongameli wase-China u-Xi Jinping baqinisekisa isidingo sobudlelwano obungcono phakathi kwezizwe zabo zombili. Ngokusho kwe- isifinyezo esisemthethweni saseChina, UXi wathi “lapho iChina ne-United States bebambisene, la mazwe womabili nomhlaba bazohlomula; lapho iChina ne-United States bebambene, la mazwe womabili nomhlaba bazohlupheka. ” Ubuye wathi: “Ukulungisa kahle ubuhlobo. . . into okumele siyenze futhi kumele siyenze kahle. ”
Okwamanje, ohulumeni bezizwe ezimbili babonakala bekude kakhulu nobudlelwano bokusebenzisana. Ngempela, besolana kakhulu, i I-united states futhi China bandisa imali abayisebenzisa empini, ukuthuthukisa izikhali zenuzi ezintsha, ukuzibandakanya ezingxabanweni ezishubile izingqinamba zendawo, nokucija zabo ukuncintisana kwezomnotho. Izingxabano ngesimo se- Taiwan futhi I-South China Sea kungenzeka ukuthi yiziqubu zempi.
Kepha cabanga ngamathuba uma i-United States neChina wenza sebenzisana. Ngemuva kwakho konke, lawa mazwe anezabelomali ezimbili zamasosha ezinkulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni kanye neminotho emibili emikhulu, angabathengi abahola phambili bamandla amabili, futhi anenani labantu elihlangene labantu abacishe babe yi-1.8 billion. Ngokusebenza ndawonye, babengaba nethonya elikhulu ezindabeni zomhlaba.
Esikhundleni sokulungiselela impi ebulalayo yempi-leyo eyavela vala ngokuyingozi ngasekupheleni kuka-2020 nasekuqaleni kuka-2021 — i-United States neChina bangaphendulela ukungqubuzana kwabo kwiZizwe Ezihlangene noma ezinye izinhlangano ezingathathi hlangothi njenge-Association of Southeast Asia Nations ukuthola ukuxazululwa kanye nokuxazululwa. Ngaphandle kokugwema impi engase ibe yimbubhiso, mhlawumbe nempi yenuzi, le nqubomgomo izosiza ukuncishiswa okukhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwempi, ngokulondolozwa okungasetshenziselwa ukuqinisa ukusebenza kwe-UN nokuxhasa ngezinhlelo zabo zasekhaya zenhlalo.
Esikhundleni sokuthi la mazwe amabili aphazamise isenzo se-UN sokuvikela ukuthula nokuphepha komhlaba wonke, angawasekela ngokugcwele — ngokwesibonelo, ngokuqinisekisa i-UN ISivumelwano Sokuvimbela Izikhali Zase-Nuclear.
Esikhundleni sokuqhubeka njengomhlaba emitters ngobukhulu of greenhouse gases, lezi zinhlaka ezimbili zezomnotho zingasebenzisana ukulwa nenhlekelele yesimo sezulu esandayo ngokunciphisa umkhondo wekhabhoni futhi zenze izivumelwano zamazwe ngamazwe nezinye izizwe ukuthi zenze okufanayo.
Esikhundleni se besolana kulo bhubhane lwamanje, bangasebenza ngokubambisana ezinyathelweni zezempilo zomphakathi zomhlaba wonke, kufaka phakathi ukukhiqizwa okukhulu nokusatshalaliswa kwemigomo ye-Covid-19 kanye nocwaningo kwezinye izifo ezingaba yingozi.
Esikhundleni sokubamba iqhaza emncintiswaneni wezomnotho osaphazayo nezimpi zezohwebo, bangahlanganisa izinsizakusebenza zabo ezinkulu zomnotho namakhono abo ukuhlinzeka amazwe ampofu ngezinhlelo zokuthuthukisa umnotho nokusiza ngqo kwezomnotho.
Esikhundleni se bethethana ngokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu, bangavuma ukuthi bobabili babecindezele izinhlanga zabo ezincane, bememezela izinhlelo zokuqeda lokhu kungaphathwa kahle, futhi banikeze imbuyiselo kulabo abahlukunyeziwe.
Noma kungabonakala ngathi ukuguquka okunjalo akunakwenzeka, into ecishe iqhathaniswe kwenzeka ngawo-1980, lapho iMpi Yomshoshaphansi yase-US-Soviet, eyayiyisisekelo esikhulu sezindaba zamazwe omhlaba, ifika kungazelelwe, kungalindelekile. Ngokomongo wegagasi elikhulu lombhikisho odumile olwa neMpi Yomshoshaphansi ekhulayo futhi, ikakhulukazi, ingozi ekhulayo yempi yenuzi, uMongameli waseSoviet uMikhail Gorbachev wayenobuhlakani bokubona ukuthi lezi zizwe zombili azinalutho futhi zingalahlekelwa kakhulu ukuqhubeka nomgwaqo okhulayo wezimpi. Futhi waze waphumelela ukukholisa uMongameli wase-US u-Ronald Reagan, owayengumkhuzi okhuthele kodwa okhungathekiswe ingcindezi ethandwayo, ngokubaluleka kokubambisana phakathi kwezizwe zabo ezimbili. Ngo-1988, lapho ukuxabana kwe-US-Soviet kudilika ngokushesha, Reagan uzulazule kamnandi noGorbachev ngeRed Square yaseMoscow, etshela ababukeli abanelukuluku: “Sinqume ukuxoxa sodwa kunokuba sikhulume ngomunye nomunye. Kusebenza kahle nje. ”
Ngeshwa, emashumini eminyaka alandela, abaholi abasha bezizwe zombili bachitha amathuba amakhulu okuthula, ukuphepha kwezomnotho kanye nenkululeko yezepolitiki eyavulwa ekupheleni kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi. Kepha, okwesikhashana, indlela yokubambisana isebenze kahle.
Futhi kungaphinda futhi.
Ngokunikwa isimo samanje sobudlelwano besithwathwa phakathi kohulumeni baseMelika kanye neChina, kubukeka sengathi, yize kunenkulumo ethembisayo emhlanganweni wakamuva weBiden-Xi, abakakulungeli ubudlelwano bokusebenzisana.
Kepha lokho ikusasa elizokuletha kungolunye udaba — ikakhulukazi uma, njengasesimweni seMpi Yomshoshaphansi, abantu bomhlaba, benesibindi sokucabanga indlela engcono, banqume ukuthi kubalulekile ukusetha ohulumeni bababili abanamandla kakhulu izizwe ngenkambo entsha nekhiqizayo.
