The colonel, who has been head of counterintelligence for the European Army Corps, has given a conference on geopolitics in Huesca.The Colonel of the Army and Graduate of the General Staff Pedro Baños has assured this Friday in Huesca that the coronavirus will be a determining factor in the new world order that is being forged and that has coincided with the appearance of this crisis that affects health public.According to him, the appearance of this disease "is clearly being used for other types of geopolitical interests."Pedro Baños, who has been head of counterintelligence of the European Army Corps and has participated in various missions in Bosnia, is a specialist in geostrategy, a writer and a regular contributor to different television programs.This Friday he has been the guest of the breakfast / colloquium organized by the Association of Women Entrepreneurs of the Province of Huesca (Amephu) and the Subdelegation of the Ministry of Defense in the province of Huesca.The colonel has given a conference entitled 'To the world throne through technology and the economy', on the movements that are taking place in the world economic order, where the hegemony of the United States is "seriously threatened by the Chinese giant."Baños has insisted that the appearance of the coronavirus will have a great impact at a time when China was taking off and technologically and economically ahead of the United States, which he will see benefited on issues such as 5G, where the Chinese were leaders.However, he has pointed out that the consequences of this crisis cannot yet be anticipated because "we are still at the beginning.""But they can be very significant and change the course that China was taking, which was outperforming the rest of the world in all aspects," he said.The colonel, who is in a reserve situation, has insisted that the situation is being used to put a stop to the Asian giant because the United States "benefits from wearing down the propaganda part of that China that was its great competitor. In any case , has pointed out that there are many more parts affected by the coronavirus and "we will see how there will be more and more cases of those infected in Africa, where tests may not be being carried out or where, in the absence of a health system as robust as the one we have in Spain is being confused with the flu or pneumonia". In this regard, Pedro Baños pointed out that "we have a very robust health system with means and motivated personnel and that, today, with the data we have, we do not have to have no fear".The geopolitical expert explained that "there is a great underground movement between the diplomacy and the intelligence services of China and the United States", which pressure European countries, "some to adopt the 5G system and others not to do".Baños recalled that a few days ago, during the Munich security conference, the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, made it very clear that "the enemy now is China and that means that it must also be the enemy of all European countries" ."The problem is that China's 5G is not only good but also has an advantage that others do not have, which is much cheaper," the colonel added.As an example of this "war" he has referred to the suspension of the Mobile World Congress that is being organized in Barcelona.In his opinion, it is clear that the United States was behind that decision."The Mobile was the great example of China's technological development, and not only of 5G but of the rest of the mobile set," commented Pedro Baños.As indicated "Huawei sells 250 million phones a year when in 2011 it sold 20 million and this impresses the United States, which sees that it is being relegated and, in the end, the economy is what gives you absolute power in all the planet".In this scenario, Europe will have to "reinvent itself".Colonel Baños has stated that "we are on the way to irrelevance if we do not reinvent ourselves because the technological development that we had disappeared.""We are no longer at the forefront and whoever does not have the technology does not sell, has no income and in the end wears himself out," he added.© HERALDO DE ARAGON EDITORA, SLU Telephone 976 765 000 / - Pº.Independencia, 29, 50001 Zaragoza - CIF: B99288763 - Registered in the Mercantile Registry of Zaragoza in Volume 3796, Book 0, Folio 177, Section 8, Sheet Z-50564 Any reproduction without written permission from the company is prohibited for the purposes of the article 32.1, second paragraph, of the Intellectual Property Law
