What the hell is wrong with the United States?In the eyes of U.S. congressmen, is there anything safe in China?
According to Shangguan News, BBC News said that a U.S. senator named Rick Scott recently wrote a letter to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Raimondo.
In his letter, he absurdly quoted unofficial websites, such as cooking blogs, family magazines, YouTube, and documentaries, claiming that Chinese farmers were using human waste and sewage to fertilize garlic. China has also bleached garlic and removed its roots before it enters the U.S. market, making it more attractive.
His point is that how can it be safe for China to fertilize garlic with human excrement?Food safety and security can be a threat to public health, so he believes that Chinese garlic needs to be investigated.
I have to admit that the black humor of this American senator is really different from the development of ordinary people, if he knows even a little bit of common sense of life, he can know that the function of human excrement on crops is the same as that of animal excrement, and it will not change because of the different effects of species.
The U.S. senator's remarks prompted McGill University's Office of Science and Society to take matters into its own hands, saying there was no evidence that China was using sewage as fertilizer for growing garlic. The Office also noted that human waste and animal waste are equally effective fertilizers. While this may not sound appealing, it's more acceptable from a security perspective than one might think.
If this senate only has an opinion on excrement, then it is necessary to mention the fact that the United States once legislated for guano.
Guano may seem unremarkable now, but in the 19th century, four pounds of guano could even be exchanged for one pound**. At that time, the United States and other European countries even spared no expense in order to obtain guano, because there was no such thing as fertilizer at that time, and the land was close to the limit of barrenness, and if you wanted to increase the yield of crops, you had to water the excrement, and guano was the most cost-effective.
In order to obtain guano at that time, the United States even passed the "Guano Island Act" in 1856 in order to occupy those islands that had not yet been discovered to have large amounts of guano droppings, and this law is still in force.
The idea of the US senator is too lacking in common sense, but regardless of the motive of right or wrong, in fact, the purpose of the US senator is not really to investigate Chinese garlic, this is just a political show that he personally uses "China endangers the United States".
In recent years, there has been an atmosphere of "singing the praises of China" in the United States, as if only by doing so can we be politically correct and have the possibility of being promoted to an official position and making a fortune. As a result, US lawmakers have smeared China from various tricky angles to prove that they are politically correct in line with the mainstream of the United States.
In fact, the United States has not learned the truth of the matter is not the only time, earlier in order to suppress TikTok, the United States personally held a hearing to call the TikTok boss for questioning, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he exposed the fact that he was ignorant.
The question he asks is, will TikTok be connected to home WiFi?His logic is that as long as TikTok is connected to wifi, it will endanger the United States*** but the question is, how can you access the Internet without wifi?TikTok boss was stunned when he heard this question, and confirmed that he was asking this question before he replied helplessly: "It must access the network to connect to the Internet." ”
From these two things, it can be seen that the United States does not care whether China's things are harmful in fact, as long as they insist that China's things are harmful to the United States, then they are doing the right thing. From these two things, we can also see that the United States is nothing more than a political tool from beginning to end that is full of ghost tricks, ghost scheming, and ghost operations.
But is this approach really good for the United States?
As a matter of fact, the United States' smear against China over the past few years is being seen through by the world one by one, and it will become a footnote to the rupture of US hegemonism in the future. This practice of the United States has already caused a backlash against the United States, and now the United States has exacerbated foreign concerns about the openness of the American market, and has undermined the attractiveness of the American market.
