Global news stretches from one hemisphere to the next, especially when chaos erupts in an entire country. That is exactly what has been happening in the Ukraine for the past month. An uproar has been occurring and it seems as if the whole world is talking about it. Well, is the whole world talking about it? That's what I'm here to explore today. I'm specifically targeting China, Australia, and Africa just to see if the Ukraine is causing just the slightest stir in those places.
According to " China National News" "Ukraine mission cut short by UN envoy after Crimea standoff". So in China they are aware of the fact that Crime has been invaded. They also know that United Nation's special envoy Robert Serry left the Ukraine after being taken hostage in a coffee shop. I have no heard this story in the news so here is something that America didn't know. Well the American citizens, I should say. China is aware that the European Union is "ready to provide $15 billion to Ukraine. China also knows that the west is considering sanctioning Russia if they don't stop military force in Crimea soon. So China has a pretty good Idea about what is happening to the Ukraine. Is Australia as caught up as China?
Well, according to the Australian times, they don't have anything on the Ukraine. They didn't even have a small corner of the page saying something about Crimea or EU. I decided not to give up all hope on Australia and decided to search up another news paper from there and I stumbled across Brisbane Times. Brisbane times doesn't have much on the Ukraine but it does have something. It has a small video, about one minute and thirty seconds in length, about how "Crimean parliament votes to join Russia". This is not as much info as China has but it is something mentioned that China did not. So far out of my three selected country's, China is the most involved. Let's see if Africa can top them.
In "Kenya Today" they state that "Russia to hold talks wih Nato in bid to avert war". So here, we find out that there is talk of war occurring. That will definitly bot be a good thing since weapons of mass destruction are easy to locate if you are a world power. This actually gives me the chills to think that WWIII could began with Russia and the Ukraine -_-. Africa is aware that the U.S has cut off ties with Russia until this whole situation is resolved. They also know that the U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, will be talking soon with, Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov. Based on the article, it is clear that Africa is just as informed as China.
Now you may ask your, why is the situation in Ukraine stressed more in Africa and China than in Australia? Well I believe that it is due to their geographical location. China is in Asia which is very close to Russia who is a main participant in the Ukraine crisis. Africa is neighboring the middle east which is neighboring the Ukraine. Africa and China are more in the region where the crisis is occurring so therefore they will hear about it more. Australia, on the other hand, is all by itself in the middle of the Indian Ocean and North Pacific Ocean so ofcourse it wouldn't phase them as much but it still is important to mention.
