Zhongxin. com, January 1 ST (Bian Lei and Guo Peishan) bid farewell to 2019, and the world is heading for a new decade in the 21st century.
In the past year, we have been worried about Britain’s Brexit, regretted the deadlock of the Golden Specialist, and mourned the death of Egypt Airlines … … In 2020, these events will still attract people’s attention. At the same time, we will also celebrate the 75th anniversary of the victory of World War II, applaud the Tokyo Olympics and pay attention to the American election … …
The old and the new are intertwined, and the future has arrived. These days in 2020 may hide the password for the next decade; More exciting, still waiting for us to walk through step by step and discover a little.

Can Trump do it for another four years?
In 2020, the two parties will face the fiercest political struggle in decades. Because on November 3, the United States, which is seriously divided in politics, will hold a general election.
Trump, the "seed player", is quite optimistic because of his economic transcripts and influence within the Republican Party. However, in 2020, he will face impeachment investigation, tax record lawsuit, etc., adding uncertainties. Zhong-Ying Pang, an expert on international issues, pointed out that in the face of Biden, the candidate who is most likely to "qualify" in the Democratic Party, Trump’s victory is almost certain.

Brexit looks forward to "the end of the whole drama"
On the other side of the ocean, Britain, which is about to end its long-distance running of Brexit, is afraid of falling into the mire of British-European trade negotiations again. Prime Minister Johnson’s "complacency" and the "temperature difference" between all walks of life to see the efficiency of the negotiations have rekindled people’s fear of "hard Brexit".
The BBC said that in order to avoid the consequences of alienation between the two sides, the EU will "take care" of the British position. However, the differences in the relationship between Britain and Europe within the British Conservative Party have increased the uncertainty of the negotiations, and in addition, Scotland is seeking to "leave Britain". This year, Johnson is still not very good.

8 January/16 February
The situation on the peninsula is uncertain.
In 2020, the possibility of the fourth "Golden Specialist Meeting" will be very low, and the tension on the peninsula may be even greater than last year. Yang Xiyu, a researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, said, "The dialogue between the DPRK and the United States did not resume before the end of 2019, which set a huge obstacle for the relations between the two countries."
He pointed out that in 2020, North Korea may open a "new road": grasping the economy on the one hand and resuming ballistic missiles and satellite launch activities on the other, which will deepen the contradiction between the DPRK and the United States and intensify the confrontation between the DPRK and the ROK. However, the DPRK and the United States are not ready for military conflicts, so they may engage in limited conflicts and low-intensity frictions.
US Department of Defense officials have predicted that North Korea will take action around Kim Jong-un’s birthday on January 8 or the "Star of Light Festival" on February 16. However, "there is some uncertainty in this prediction."
June 22nd
Can Japan and South Korea mend fences?
Looking forward to 2020, Yang Xiyu said: "Japan-ROK relations may change, but to a limited extent." After the China-Japan-ROK summit in late 2019, the tripartite cooperation platform provided impetus and new space for Japan-ROK relations; The two sides also share a common language and position in dealing with the North Korean issue.
However, there are serious differences between the two sides on historical issues. Before that, Japan also extended the contradiction to the economic and trade field, which deepened the dispute between Japan and South Korea. Can the two countries shake hands and make peace on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations on June 22nd? We don’t know yet.

After the Israeli election, Palestine and Israel are still unable to meet the dawn.
Israel in 2019 has been circulating in the strange circle of constant elections. In March this year, the parliament will hold its third election.
It is worth noting that although Palestine and Israel have been hovering on the brink of war, the parties that participated in the general election did not put forward the Palestinian-Israeli peace plan in their election platforms, and the United States supported Israel in a "biased manner", and the prospects for Palestinian-Israeli peace may become increasingly dim.

The 5th anniversary of the Iranian nuclear deal’s signing.
The year 2020 will mark the 5th anniversary of the Iranian nuclear deal’s signing, but at present, this agreement is "in jeopardy".
The United States has exerted "extreme pressure" on Iran since it "retired from the group" and wants to promote change by pressure; Not to be outdone, Iran shot down American drones, developed missile defense technology, and gradually suspended the implementation of the the Iranian nuclear deal clause … … In 2020, it is worth paying attention to whether the confrontation between the United States and Iraq in the Gulf will be fully upgraded due to "accidental fire" and whether the spillover effect of "fighting the law" will become more prominent.
