Change in America's attitude..!?
The
united states has announced its re-entry into UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. In 2011, the
barack obama administration ended the
tradition of funding the organization, and in 2017, the
donald trump administration withdrew from the organization. The world has fully understood that
china is the main reason for the
united states to rejoin the organization. After the
united states left this organization, China's influence and prestige began to increase significantly.
china is increasingly focused on artificial intelligence and technological innovation. Naturally, this is a shock to America. It was not because of
china that the US left this multinational organization, but because of
china, there was an opportunity to re-enter it. In 2020,
donald trump withdrew from the organization during the outbreak of the Covid pandemic. Not only from this organization, but he later also withdrew from the
paris Agreement. In these organizations, they are as important as
china and India. He also made comments at that time that it seems that they are funding these for these two countries. His
government also withdrew funding to the World
health Organization at that time. Although
china is responsible for the spread of the Kovid epidemic,
trump said that the reason for this is that the World
health Organization has not taken a single action regarding that country.
After Joe Biden took
office as the President of the
united states, there has been a change in the American tradition. The US has started funding the World
health Organization again. All the organizations of the United Nations were re-established. Apart from its re-entry into UNESCO four or five days ago, the organization has appreciated its importance in many ways. Eventually, climate law also joined the
paris Agreement on environmental protection. Indeed, there appears to be no compelling reason for the US to withdraw from these institutions. At that time, many countries expressed the opinion that the
united states had left the organization for its ally because it felt that
israel did not have a proper place in the organization.
Still, it seems strange that the
united states is rejoining the organization even though the situation has not changed much. A kind of suspicion and fear in the American mind towards
china may be the reason for this.
china is seen as the scapegoat for America for any problem. For the first time, in 1984, the then
government of Ronald Reagan told UNESCO. At the time, Reagan commented that the Soviet Union was advancing its interests by obstructing this organization.In fact, the innovations taking place in the field of artificial intelligence have nothing to do with social and cultural evolution. Historical technological changes are also nowhere to be found here. In terms of changes and additions in the fields of artificial intelligence and technology, America has obtained patent rights for all kinds of products. In any case, it has made more progress than other countries in these fields.
china is leading only in different aspects.
china has more opportunities for marketing than America due to its large population. UNESCO has nothing to do with them. Moreover, no country can always be ahead in fields like artificial intelligence and technology. Although the United States' payment of $600 million in arrears after joining UNESCO has the potential to financially cripple the organization, it seems that the country needs to change its ways. In matters like entry and exit, United Nations organizations like UNESCO and
international organizations have to follow some strict rules. Even developed countries like America do not find it reasonable to take arbitrary decisions for the smallest of reasons.
