Meng Jin is an American novelist. She graduated with a BA from Harvard University in 2011, and from= Hunters College MFA program in 2015. While at Hunter, she was a Hertog Fellow. Continuing to teach literature and creative writing at Hunter, Jin also guest lectures at Harvard. In a YouTube video provided by English. news.cn titled ” Why a U.S obsession with meddling in other countries seriously jeopardize world peace?’ along with other video reporters and editors Yu Fuqing, Yang Yiran, Yao Bing, Wu Chengwei, Wang Feng; video editors: Liu Xiaorui, Li Qin we hear the thought of 4 spokespersons from around the world on how they see the problem America is causing by interfering with other countries. One of the Spokesperson speaking in the video “ Vladimir Zharikin” who is a Deputy Director Commonwealth of Independent States Institute, Russia he speaks during the times from 0:37-1:09 expresses that ” Believes that the US wants to change the countries focus for some problems that the US creates for them. And in this way they are trying to maintain their hegemony, to maintain their, as they believe, leadership of the world.” According to Vladimir he believes the United States intentionally creates problems in other countries to divert their attention away from their own issues. In doing this brings upon the thought that the  U.S. stays in charge as well as the leader of the world, making sure no other country becomes more powerful than it. Following Zharikin another spokesperson by the name “Joseph Matthews ” who is Senior Professor BELTEI International University in Phnom Phen elaborates in what tactics America uses to gain control : The most various tactics the U.S government uses are through intimidation, political, and economic pressure, embargoes, black-mailing through human rights issues, freedom of speech, democracy, and other related matters. The USA’s hegemonic and bullying policy globally will not take the USA too far, as the ramifications of these actions will be imminent and severe.” According to Matthews the U.S. government uses different strategies like scaring other countries, using politics and money to get its way, and even restricting trade to make other nations do what it wants. It also mentions using black-mailing through human rights issue, freedom of speech and democracy which i find is very crucial. How can you be a country who sees everyone is equal and deserves the same and then treat other countries like garbage just so they won’t get the thought to ever think about overpowering you? But I can agree with Matthews when he says doing all of this America will not get far in long run. They should change their ways before it is too late.
