The decline in the color revolution capability of the United States not only brings about the impact of many countries being able to stabilize their political power, but more importantly, greatly reduces America's deterrent power.
What was the greatest deterrent power of the United States in the past?
One is military power, if you don't listen, it will invade you;
The second is the color revolution, if you don't listen, we will carry out a color revolution to overthrow you.
But now what? Are you invading?
Because the voice of the international community has greatly increased, the United States no longer dares to invade anyone.
At the same time, the ability of color revolution has declined, and even if color revolution is carried out, the relevant countries are not so afraid.
This has led to more and more Latin American countries in the backyard of the United States having the courage to go against the will of the United States and cooperate with China.
For example, the recently opened Qiankai Port.
Qiankai Port is only 80 kilometers away from Lima, the capital of Peru, and faces China across the ocean.
With a superior geographical location and a water depth of 17.8 meters, it is a natural deep-water port that can accommodate ultra large container ships with 18000 TEUs, providing unique conditions for ocean transportation.
We can see from the terrain of Latin America that the east is generally flat and the west is generally steep, so major ports are mostly concentrated on the east coast.
So the question is, what should these western countries do if they want to export goods to China?
Either transport the materials to the eastern ports via highways, load them onto ships at the eastern ports, and then transport them to China via the Panama Canal.
Either load the ship from a small port in the west, bypass the southern part of South America, transport it to a large port in the east for a larger ship, and then go around the Panama Canal to China.
There will be an issue involved here.
Firstly, the time is too long, usually delaying for about ten days.
Secondly, the cost is too high.
Not to mention the cost of transportation to the eastern ports, even if it crosses the Panama Canal, a ship will have to pay a toll of $500000 to $2 million.
And the maximum daily traffic volume of the Panama Canal is only 36 ships, no one knows how long you have to queue here.
If you can't wait and want to jump in line, you still have to pay a jump fee.
These time and money costs have to be evenly distributed among the goods shipped on board, weakening the competitiveness of Latin American goods.
What happens after the opening of Qiankai Port?
Due to the deep water conditions, a direct route to China can be opened up.
Materials from the western and even central regions of Latin America can be directly transported to Qiankai Port for loading and then shipped to China, greatly reducing shipping time.
The journey from Peru to China has been reduced from 35-40 days to 23 days, opening a new door for South American foreign trade.
At present, Qiankai Port has a designed throughput capacity of 1 million TEUs per year, which can even be expanded to 1.5 million TEUs in the future, making it the largest port in Latin America.
Of course, the greatest significance of Qian Kaigang is not to save time and travel expenses, but to 'liberate Latin America'.
Let's think about a question, why do people say 'Latin America is America's backyard'?
This is not just a matter of distance, but the economies of Latin American countries, which heavily rely on the United States.
Decades ago, the United States used its huge advantage in economic structure to import a large amount of dollars into Latin America.
By leveraging multilateral financial institutions controlled by the United States to increase their lending to Latin American countries, coupled with the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hike policy, many Latin American countries that have already developed a dependence on the US dollar have instantly fallen into a debt crisis.
Then the United States successfully harvested most of the assets and state-owned companies of Latin American countries.
In this way, the economy of Latin America is basically controlled by the United States, and Latin America has become a supplier of raw materials and a dumping market for the United States.
During this period, even if left-wing parties seized power, it was impossible to completely change this situation economically.
Therefore, Latin America is always in a state of turning Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) from left to right.
So, what if we could provide a new option for Latin America that is not dependent on the United States?
China has funds, infrastructure capabilities, and massive demand for materials, making it a perfect match for the Latin American region.
Latin America has abundant resources, including lithium, iron, copper, and other mineral resources. In addition, various agricultural and seafood products require a better way out.
China's consumer electronics, textiles, light construction machinery, automobiles, and components also have a strong market in the local area.
In this way, the economy of Latin America will inevitably shift from being dominated by the United States alone to being hit by both China and the United States, and even by China's complete downgrade.
This means that Latin America can escape the fate of being "economically colonized" by the United States.
Do you think Latin America will still be the backyard of the United States after a long time?
Qian Kaigang is the first step of China's strategy.
By connecting with the Pan American Highway, Qiankai Port can be connected to the highways of these countries, further strengthening the connectivity of the Latin American region.
What? What if there's no road?
Isn't this China's strength? Ask the right person!
So, after Qiankai Port becomes a new hub port in Latin America in the future, its influence can radiate to many countries such as Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Colombia.
Let Latin America fully integrate into the "Pacific Economic Circle" without relying on the nose of the United States.
Latin America has always had a strong foundation of socialist waves.
With the support of the socialist big brother and the widespread anti American sentiment, after being integrated by Qian Kaigang, the future of Latin America is clearly a key link for China to break through the US blockade and counterattack.
This also explains why the United States became so nervous after China built Qiankai Port.
As early as 2019, Eric Bethel, a Trump aide, issued a "warning":
It is believed that the emergence of Qian Kai Port not only has an impact on Peru and Brazil, but may even change the entire South American continent, which deserves close attention from everyone.
Laura Richardson, former commander of the US Southern Command, also labeled Qian Kai Port as "dual-use" before stepping down, fearing that Chinese warships would use it to dock in Latin America.
Thank you, if it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have remembered!
So, on the one hand, the United States conveyed its concerns to the Peruvian government through diplomatic channels, and on the other hand, it used media and civil organizations to create public opinion in the local area.
Stirring up public dissatisfaction with Chinese investment projects, it also sparked a lawsuit farce, wanting to cancel China's exclusive operating rights to Qian Kaigang.
However, Peruvian President Borualte is very firm, completely ignoring the threat from the United States, insisting on the original contract, and even suppressing the lawsuit.
Why? Because Peru has realized that the United States is fierce on the surface but weak on the inside. Even if it goes against the United States, what can the United States do?
Can we carry out armed aggression? Can it spark a color revolution?
Even if we play like this, China can use investment and job opportunities to quell these color revolutions.
After all, who wouldn't want a good life? How many countries in the world have experienced color revolutions and are living a good life?
So, with the decline of America's color revolution capabilities, more and more countries will boldly join this revolutionary team that overthrows the old world order.
And China's the Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS countries, SCO and other strategic layouts with "economic cooperation" as the main mode are the beginning of subverting and replacing the old order.
The old order that the West has long overturned through military threats, economic plunder, and "color revolutions" has no resistance in the face of China's new order of equality, win-win, and cooperation.

Some people may think that the SCO has a mechanism to resist color revolutions, but what about other countries that have not joined the SCO?
Now that China has expanded its presence abroad, it is possible that China has signed contracts with relevant countries in the front and the United States has overthrown them with color revolutions in the back. Isn't China's efforts in this regard in vain?
Actually, it doesn't matter. China's the Belt and Road Initiative can greatly offset the destructive power of the color revolution.
Why?
Let's take a look at the reasons for the success of the color revolution.
The first is economic difficulties.
As the saying goes, a fly does not bite a seamless egg, and a color revolution occurs. While there may be reasons instigated by the United States, internal conflicts within a country are equally important.
Let's take a look at countries that have undergone 'color revolutions', some of which have slow economic development, high unemployment rates, and long-term lack of improvement in people's lives.
The grievances of the common people naturally provided an opportunity for the opposition to launch protests and demonstrations, and once incited, they incited millions of people to rebel.
Simply put, it's just a pile of dry wood, and the planner of the color revolution is just a spark.
The second is political weakness.
Many people are curious about the process of color revolutions in some countries, why was the ruling party overthrown like this? What about the state violence machine? Where did it go?
Why do we dare not take action in the face of organized acts of subversion against the state? Instead, have you been intimidated by the repeated "concerns" and "urging" from Western countries?
To put it simply, the root cause lies in the weakness of the ruling party's senior leadership, who dare not rectify the root cause and dare not legally maintain political stability.
I am more concerned that once the riots are forcefully quelled, it will trigger interference and sanctions from Western countries.
So, political weakness often leads to an inability to respond and is easily pushed down by Western countries.
Once you know the reasons for the success of the color revolution, it's easy to say. Isn't it enough to start from the source?
Let's first take a look at economic assistance.
What is the the Belt and Road?
On the one hand, it is certainly possible to export our infrastructure production capacity. But more importantly, it can also help relevant countries develop their economies.
Please think about a question, why are some underdeveloped countries underdeveloped?
Is it stupid? Is it laziness? Don't you want to develop?
Not at all. All countries in the world want to develop and live a good life.
But the problem is that development requires conditions.
For example, if you want to open a garment factory and use cheap labor to receive overseas orders (which is also the first step for many poor countries to develop).
But you don't have a seaport, so you can't import machines and raw materials on a large scale.
You don't have a road, so you can't transport finished products.
You don't have electricity, you can't turn on the machine.
You don't have factories and dormitories, so you can't accommodate so many workers.
So, you can't change these issues, you can only look for foreign countries.
So who should we look for?
Firstly, money.
There are many wealthy countries and international organizations willing to lend, such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and so on.
But for them, they will first be picky and selective, and some who have slow repayment will not even get their loans.
And even if you take out a loan, there will definitely be various costly additional terms, such as requiring you to agree to some political conditions in Western countries, and so on.
Next is infrastructure capability.
Although infrastructure may sound rudimentary, it is actually very technologically advanced.
There are actually not many countries today that have the ability and experience to build large-scale infrastructure.
Both the United States and Europe have basically lost their infrastructure capabilities with financialization.
That is to say, even if Western countries are willing to lend money, they do not have the ability to help with construction.
Compared to that, looking for China is different.
You don't have money? It's okay, I have the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
Do you have a long repayment period? It's okay, I can accept a long-term contract.
You don't have money to pay back? It's okay, you can exchange the management rights for money. If it's not enough, you can use your family's minerals and other resources to repay it.
Do you want high-level infrastructure? It's okay, China's infrastructure capability is second on this planet, and everyone dares to say first.
In short, as long as the host country agrees, China can solve everything from funding to surveying, from construction to management, from operation to mineral trade.
You don't have to do anything, just enjoy the dividends brought by infrastructure.
Undoubtedly, this model is an absolute killer for countries that want to develop.
As the saying goes, to become rich, one must first build roads.
When China does a good job in infrastructure, these countries can leverage their advantages, develop various industries, become prosperous, increase employment rates, and allow the general public to enjoy the dividends of development.
When the people's lives are better and they have money, who would have nothing to do and go on the streets to parade!
When the United States discovers that inciting and stirring up people is not enough, is color revolution still powerful? period.
Let's take another look at political support.
Why do the ruling groups of countries with successful color revolutions dare not defend their national systems?
A large part of the reason is that it cannot withstand the pressure from Western countries.
In the past international order, Western countries were equal to the international community.
If G7 issues a statement, it will create tremendous pressure, and the opposition will also raise the banner and say: Western countries support me!
At this time, if the ruling party quells the riots, it will be accused of "suppressing civilians".
From leaders to specific implementers, they will all be sanctioned by Western countries and may even go to the International Court of Justice.
And now?
The strength of China has greatly offset the influence of Western countries, and Western countries are no longer the ones who rule everything.
What if Western countries impose sanctions and pressure? It's a big deal to seek refuge in China!
In recent years, through the the Belt and Road, China has upgraded diplomatic relations with many countries, many of which have reached the level of strategic partnership.
This' strategic partnership 'not only involves mutual economic assistance, but also includes political support and backing.
The reason is also very simple. China's the Belt and Road contracts are often long-term contracts of 20 to 30 years.
For China, the political stability of relevant countries is the foundation and guarantee for China to continue to gain benefits, and naturally does not want to see these countries fall into turmoil.
So China will hold high the banner of non-interference in internal affairs and clearly support the governments of these countries.
Simply put, it's international pressure. I'll help you bear it. Even if Western countries make proposals at the United Nations, don't be afraid. Don't forget that I have a veto power!
With China as a backing, these countries naturally have nothing to fear and can confidently use strong measures to calm the situation.
So, we have found that in recent years, the failure rate of color revolutions in the United States has greatly increased.
For example, Belarus.
On August 9, 2020, Belarus held presidential elections, with Lukashenko receiving 80.1% of the vote and opposition leader Tikhanovskaya receiving just over 10% of the vote.
Then the opposition insisted on election cheating, launched protests and demonstrations, and demanded a new election.
But what? Lukashenko is not afraid at all.
Why?
On the one hand, Lukashenko's reputation is simply too high.
From the 1990s to the present, partial public ownership has been adhered to, benefiting the common people.
On the other hand, it has embraced the thighs of Russia and China.
Regarding Russia, Lukashenko is promoting the "Russia White Alliance".
At the end of 1999, Russia and Belarus signed a treaty on the establishment of the Russian Union, elevating their relationship to that of an integrated alliance state.
Although Belarus is not a member of the Russian Federation, it is actually similar to the Russian Federation.
The Russian paratroopers who raided Kiev during the Russo Ukrainian War departed from Belarus.
With the presence of Russian troops, the opposition cannot turn the tide.
What about China?
Speaking of cold knowledge, the relationship between China and Belarus is an all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership. What is the concept of this relationship?.
Second only to the military alliance between China and North Korea!
If you don't believe me, go see the military parade in Belarus. What kind of vehicles are used for the parade? It's the same red flag car as the Chinese military parade!
The integrated vehicle technology for carrying and launching China's intercontinental missiles also comes from Belarus.
High level exchanges between the two countries are frequent. Lukashenko has visited China a total of eight times in the past 10 years, almost always bringing his own son with him, obviously with the intention of "asking old friends to take care of their children".
Based on this personal friendship and high political mutual trust, China and Belarus support each other in international occasions and jointly uphold international fairness and justice.
Belarus firmly supports China's core interests and major concerns related to Taiwan, Xinjiang, and Hong Kong.
It is precisely because of the relationship between China and Belarus that economic and trade exchanges between the two countries are very frequent, and Belarus has no defenses or restrictions on investment in Chinese enterprises.
In 2023, the bilateral trade volume between China and Belarus reached a historic high of 8.443 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 67.3%.
As a landmark project of the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", China Belarus Industrial Park has attracted 107 enterprises.
At present, there are over a hundred strategic investment projects in China and Belarus, covering multiple key industrial sectors.
The implementation of these projects has not only brought Belarus advanced production technology and management experience, but also created a large number of employment opportunities, bringing tangible benefits to the two countries and their people.
The result is that the Belarusian people are happy for the prosperity and development of the country, cherishing the hard won and stable life without worrying about food and clothing.
They naturally associated all of this with Lukashenko's name and became his staunch supporters, and the opposition could not make any noise at all.
A Russian journalist once interviewed the hometown of an opposition leader and found that the people there, even the relatives of the opposition leader, all supported Lukashenko. Whenever the opposition was mentioned, they felt angry!
How can the color revolution succeed in this situation?
And Venezuela.
Compared to Belarus, Venezuela's problems are much more serious.
Since Chavez took office, Venezuela has been a thorn in the back garden of the United States in South America.
Maduro, on the other hand, is the designated successor of Chavez and naturally a staunch anti American fighter.
However, due to long-standing sanctions and poor economic policies, the ruling party simply and crudely solved domestic economic problems by printing money.
This has caused massive malignant inflation, resulting in a high monetary inflation rate of 5500%, and 80% of the population living in poverty.
So, the color revolution has a better market in Venezuela.
As a result, in this year's Venezuelan elections, a color revolution erupted.
The opposition said that the previous poll support rate had exceeded 70%, but after the election, it became 40%, which is clearly Maduro's cheating.
The Western countries were so angry that Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, who was visiting in Japan, also spoke about the matter in a hurry:
Claiming that the United States is seriously concerned that Maduro's re-election election results do not reflect the will or votes of the Venezuelan people.
Subsequently, countries such as Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Panama also voiced their agreement, causing great international pressure on Venezuela.
What about Maduro?
Seek assistance from China and Russia as soon as possible.
China and Russia also made statements at the first time. President Putin personally called to congratulate Maduro on his high vote election and expressed deep affection, "On Russian soil, you will always be a welcome guest
China's statement is more direct:
All parties should respect the choices made by the Venezuelan people and their right to independently choose their own development path. We believe that the Venezuelan government and people have the ability to handle their internal affairs well.
The translation of this sentence is:
Venezuela has already elected its own results, and the Supreme Court has also ruled to recognize Maduro's victory in the election. What are you guys still beeping about?
Shut up, everyone!
Of course, China is not just talking.
In the second month of the election turmoil, Venezuela held a "gathering competition".
The troops of China, Russia and other countries naturally entered Venezuela, and then the competition ended smoothly, and Maduro also took office smoothly.
Above the inauguration ceremony, a Venezuelan flag pattern composed of Chinese drones appeared.
Maduro excitedly introduces drones in the sky to his supporters:
These drones are the only ones in Latin America that we obtained from China
Do you think Maduro only got those drones?
No, what Maduro means is that he is standing behind China, and with China standing behind him, he is not afraid of the color revolutions brought about by the United States.
In the end, the color revolution in Venezuela failed. Antony Blinken was very angry, but there was no way.
Speaking of which, the only successful example of color revolution in the United States in recent years is Bangladesh.
Let's first clarify a fact, although Bangladesh and China have good relations, in fact, Bangladesh is under the protection of India.
Even Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan was managed by India's military intervention.
Even the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Hasina, was trained by India, so India treats Bangladesh very rudely.
For example, India and Bangladesh share 54 cross-border rivers, and India has long dominated the allocation of these water resources, often resulting in downstream Bengalis having no water to use.
In addition, India has set various tariffs and non-tariff barriers on Bangladeshi goods, and has long banned the import of textiles from Bangladesh.
On the contrary, it allowed Bangladesh to import countless Indian products with precious foreign exchange, resulting in a high trade deficit with India and very weak foreign exchange reserves.
In addition, the quota system for civil servants has made more and more young people dissatisfied, so when the United States instigated it, students took to the streets.
Is India aware of this situation?
Clear.
But due to its own weak strength, India was unable to provide sufficient support to Bangladesh to suppress the riots, nor dared to openly oppose the color revolutions led by the United States. In the end, it could only watch helplessly.
Watching the government he had cultivated being overthrown, he had to send troops to the airport to help Hashina evacuate and then leave Bangladesh forever.
India is very unhappy about the United States stabbing in the back:
You asked me to help contain China, and I didn't just do it. How could you betray me?
So we have seen that India's recent relations with the United States and its younger brother Canada have taken a sharp turn for the worse.
After a series of verbal battles between the two sides, India suddenly reached a border withdrawal agreement with China and resumed talks between their foreign ministers.
In this way, if China and India reconcile, the US Indo Pacific strategy will face complete bankruptcy.
