Indiza ye-New England Patriots ihambise imijovo ye-COVID eyenziwe eShayina engu-500,000 e-El Salvador, futhi ngaleyo ndlela izifake empini enzima yezepolitiki yethonya eLatin America.
Emahoreni okuqala ngoLwesithathu ekuseni, ngemva nje kwamabili, isazi sezombusazwe esiphezulu saseShayina ezweni elincane laseMelika Ephakathi samukela “indiza ye-pat” njengoba ifika eSan Salvador.
Lapho izimpawu ezibomvu, ezimhlophe neziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka zamaqhawe ayisithupha eSuper Bowl zifakwe ku-Boeing 767, indawo yokubeka impahla yavuleka ukuze kuthululwe ibhokisi elikhulu elinezinhlamvu zesiShayina kulo. Inxusa u-Ou Jianhong uthe iChina “iyohlala ingumngane nomlingani we-El Salvador”.
Ukuphawula kwakhe bekuwukuphenya okungabonakali kangako ngohulumeni kaBiden, okugxeke uMengameli uNayib Bukele emasontweni adlule ngokuxosha abahluleli abaningi beNkantolo Ephakeme ukuthula kanye nomshushisi omkhulu futhi uxwayisa ngokuthi lokhu kuphazamisa intando yeningi yase-El Salvador.
UBukele akakaze abe namahloni okusebenzisa ubudlelwano bakhe obusha neShayina ukuze afune izivumelwano e-United States, futhi ezinkundleni eziningana zokuxhumana uphakamise ukulethwa komuthi wokugoma — ukulethwa kwesine kwe-El Salvador kusuka eBeijing selokhu kwaqala ubhubhane. Kuze kube manje leli lizwe selithole imithamo engu-2.1 million yomuthi wokugoma evela eShayina, kodwa hhayi eyodwa evela kubalingani bayo bendabuko kanye nomlingani omkhulu wokuhweba, kanye ne-United States, okuyikhaya labokufika baseSalvador abangaphezu kwezigidi ezimbili.
“Go Pats,” kusho uBukele kuTwitter ngoLwesine enobuso obumomothekayo obune-emoji yezibuko zelanga — yize iqembu ngokwalo lalingenandaba kangako nendiza, eyahlelwa yinkampani eqasha izindiza uma iqembu lingazisebenzisi.
Kuyo yonke iLatin America, iShayina ithole indawo evundile yalokho okubizwa ngokuthi yi-diplomacy yokugoma ehlose ukuguqula amashumi eminyaka okubusa kwe-US. Lesi sifunda siyisifunda esithinteke kakhulu emhlabeni yileli gciwane, kanti amazwe ayisishiyagalombili aphakathi kwayishumi aphezulu ngokufa komuntu ngamunye, ngokusho kwesayithi locwaningo oluku-inthanethi i-Our World in Data. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukwehla okukhulu komnotho kwasusa ukukhula komnotho okungaphezu kweminyaka eyishumi, futhi ohulumeni emazweni amaningana babhekene nengcindezi ekhulayo, ngisho nemibhikisho enobudlova yabavoti abathukuthele ngokwehluleka kwabo ukulawula amazinga okutheleleka akhuphukayo.
Kuleli sonto, iKhomishini Yokubuyekeza Umnotho Nokuphepha ye-US-China, eyeluleka iCongress ngomthelela wokukhula kweShayina ekuphepheni kwezwe, ixwayise ngokuthi i-US idinga ukuqala ukuthumela imithi yayo yokugoma esifundeni noma isengozini yokulahlekelwa ukwesekwa yizimbangi zayo zesikhathi eside.
“AmaShayina aguqula yonke imithwalo eya ethafeni ibe isithombe,” kusho u-Evan Ellis, uchwepheshe waseShayina-Latin America e-US Army War College's Institute for Strategic Studies, etshela iphaneli ngoLwesine. “Umongameli uphume wathi, Kukhona ifulegi laseShayina ebhokisini. Ngakho-ke ngeshwa, amaShayina enza umsebenzi ongcono wokumaketha.”
Okhulumela iPatriots uStacey James uthe iqembu alinawo indima eqondile ekulethweni komuthi wokugoma futhi walahla umbono wokuthi bathatha uhlangothi empini yezepolitiki. Ngonyaka odlule, ekuqaleni kobhubhane, umnikazi wePatriots uRobert Kraft wenza isivumelwano neChina sokusebenzisa enye yezindiza ezimbili zeqembu ukuthutha imaski eyi-N95 eyisigidi ukusuka eShenzhen ukuya eBoston. Indiza yayiqashwe yi-Eastern Airlines esePhiladelphia ngesikhathi iqembu lingayisebenzisa, kusho uJames.
“Kuhle ukuba yingxenye yomsebenzi osebenzayo wokuthola umuthi wokugoma lapho kudingeka khona,” kusho uJames. “Kodwa akuyona umsebenzi wezepolitiki.”
Njengengxenye ye-diplomacy yemithi yokugoma, iShayina ithembise ukunikeza imithamo yokugoma engaba yibhiliyoni elilodwa emazweni angaphezu kwama-45, ngokusho kwe-Associated Press. Kubakhiqizi abaningi bemithi yokugoma baseShayina, abane kuphela abathi bazokwazi ukukhiqiza okungenani imithamo eyizigidigidi ezingu-2.6 kulo nyaka.
Izikhulu zezempilo zase-US azikakaqinisekisi ukuthi umuthi wokugoma waseShayina uyasebenza, kanti uNobhala Wezwe u-Antony Blinken ukhononde ngokuthi iShayina ifaka ukuthengiswa kwemithi yayo kanye neminikelo kwezombusazwe. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, amaDemocrats namaRiphabliki ngokufanayo agxeke kakhulu irekhodi lamalungelo abantu laseShayina, imikhuba yokuhweba ngokuphanga kanye nokuqapha kwedijithali njengento evimbela ubudlelwano obuseduze.
Kodwa amazwe amaningi asathuthuka alwela ukugoma abantu bawo awakubekezeleli ukukhuluma okubi ngeShayina futhi asola i-United States ngokuqongelela eminye imithi yokugoma eyenziwe eNtshonalanga. UMongameli uJoe Biden ngoMsombuluko uthembise ukwabelana ngeminye imithi yokugoma eyizigidi ezingu-20 emasontweni ayisithupha azayo, okwenza isamba semali esiphelele se-US kwamanye amazwe sibe yizigidi ezingu-80.
Izwe laseLatin America liphinde labonga iChina ngokutshala kwayo imali kumaphrojekthi amakhulu engqalasizinda kanye nokuthengwa kwezimpahla ezivela esifundeni phakathi nokwehla kwamandla omnotho okubangelwe ubhubhane.
Futhi kuleli sonto, iCongress yase-El Salvador, ephethwe ngabalingani bakaBukler, ivumile isivumelwano sokubambisana neShayina esidinga ukutshalwa kwezimali okungu-400 million yuan ($60 million) ukwakha izikhungo zokuhlanza amanzi, izinkundla zemidlalo kanye namaLabhulali, njll. Lesi sivumelwano siwumphumela wokunqanyulwa kobudlelwano bezombusazwe bukahulumeni wangaphambili wase-El Salvador ngo-2018 neTaiwan kanye nobudlelwano neBeijing yamakhomanisi.
“Uhulumeni kaBiden kufanele uyeke ukunikeza abenzi benqubomgomo baseLatin America iseluleko somphakathi ngeShayina,” kusho u-Oliver Stuenkel, uprofesa wezindaba zamazwe ngamazwe eGetulio Vargas Foundation eSão Paulo, eBrazil, enkulumweni yakhe nephaneli yokweluleka yeCongress. Lokhu kuzwakala kuqhosha futhi kungathembeki uma kubhekwa imiphumela eminingi emihle yezomnotho yokuhwebelana neShayina eLatin America.”
