When the Russian war against Ukraine began in the past year 2022, or what was called the special operation by Russia, this led to the creation of a tense international climate, as the Europeans felt that this was an attack on Europe, and the United States of America felt embarrassed because it represents the only pole in the world and did not succeed in Creating peaceful climates in the world, On the contrary, the tension increased after the eleventh of September, and it joined Europe with the support of Ukraine with money and weapons against the Russian Federation in order to preserve its international position, and for this reason the area of the international conflict began to widen due to the American position , The latter feels that what is happening is not in its interest and that it must defend its presence at the top of the global pyramid, so it began to create tense climates on the globe, starting with China and Taiwan, and Southeast Asia in addition to the already inflamed Middle East.
China was not satisfied with what was happening in Europe between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, but the behavior of the American administration aroused its appetite, so it began to think of returning Taiwan to its bosom as part of its territory historically , It was necessary to feel the pulse in more than one location and situation, the most recent of which was the balloon that was launched a few days ago, and this has implications for the formula of international relations, specifically the Russian-Chinese, which led to the Chinese administration being pushed to reposition within the framework of the international system , So it was necessary to take a step in the face of American policy that would reflect positively on the Russian-Chinese relations, so the balloon launch came, the aim behind which was to provoke the American administration, and this step means compromising national sovereignty, especially for a country like the United States of America , Which pushes it towards responding to this Chinese provocation, so America chose to respond by shooting down the balloon instead of bringing it down without detonating it, followed by America postponing the visit of US Secretary of State Blinken to China to discuss bilateral relations.
This incident constituted a state of escalation and tension in the international arena, as China also aims to reposition itself and feed the Sino-Russian alliance, to create an atmosphere that leads to the path of international negotiations, To achieve a new international order that guarantees the interests of the international parties in a balanced manner in the first place, and creates regional alignments to put forward the files and issues of the volatile regions, especially the Middle East and Latin America, in addition to Africa and Southeast Asia.
