Hello everyone, I'm. Post-90s Internet people, deeply cultivated from ** writing, uninterrupted sharing of dry goods, pay attention to [Cheerful Treading Mountains and Rivers] Take you to taste Baiwei life together, one person and one sentence cheer for the postgraduate entrance examination Recently,U.S. Republican Senator Rick Scott recently sent a high-profile letter to the U.S. Department of Commerce. In the letter, he claimed that Chinese garlic cultivation methods are unsafe and unhygienic, posing a serious threat to the public health and economic prosperity of the United States. Scott further accused China of using manure to water garlic and claimed that China dumped garlic on the United States。Do these accusations hold water?How should we look at this?
First of allIn response to Scott's accusation that Chinese garlic cultivation methods are unsafe and unhygienic, we need to recognize that this is a relative problem. In the context of globalization,There are differences in the norms and standards of agricultural production from country to country, and these differences are often due to a variety of factors such as geography, climate, culture and history。Therefore, we cannot simply compare the Chinese cultivation method with the American cultivation method, but should see the rationale behind the two methods.
SecondlyRegarding the use of manure to water garlic, this is not a phenomenon unique to China. In many countries,Including in the United States, there are cases where manure is used for agricultural irrigation。Manure irrigation can be seen as an efficient way to use fertilizer to some extent, but only if it does not pose a threat to the environment and human health. Therefore, what we need is a scientific agricultural management and regulatory system, rather than blindly blaming a certain country or region for its practices.
Again, Scott claims that China is dumping garlic on the United States. The veracity of this accusation is debatable. There is normal competition and adjustment of supply and demand in the world, and it cannot be regarded as dumping because China's garlic is low. If the U.S. believes that Chinese garlic imports have caused substantial harm to the U.S. marketThey should appeal through a formal dispute resolution mechanism, rather than through an open letter from a member of parliament
FinallyNor can we ignore the deeper meaning behind Scott's remarks. This reflects the concern of some people in the United States about the Sino-US deficit and the fear of the competitiveness of China's agricultural product market. They smear and suppress China, spread the "China threat theory" in the international community, and constantly make groundless accusations and attacks against China, the main motive is to cooperate with partisan disputes and gain political bargaining chips for themselves
It is worth noting that the mainstream ** in the United States, which used to have a keen sense of "China threat" news, chose to remain silent almost all of them in this incident, and only a few of them made simple reports. This phenomenon is enough to reveal that these ** are well aware of the untruthfulness and misleading nature of Scott's related remarks. However, the risks lurking behind this silence cannot be ignored. No matter how bizarre and extreme the anti-China views of the congressmen are, it seems that the US ** circles have only chosen to "stand by and watch" and "not to expose them." Such an attitude may mislead a part of the public into believing these extreme views, which is undoubtedly a potential threat to the healthy development of China-US relations.
