According to the analysis of the War Research Institute, an incident that recently happened in the United States makes people wonder whether someone is playing a prank, but it is a real thing. US Republican Senator Scott asked the US Department of Commerce to take measures against China's garlic produced and sold to the United States, because he believes that China's way of growing garlic is unhygienic, and these unhygienic garlic sold to the United States will affect the United States*** This Congressman Scott is an active participant in various anti-China activities in Washington, but he will deal with China's garlic seriously, which can only show that some people in the United States are completely anxious in the face of China that cannot be suppressed.
This is also reminiscent of the epidemic opinion a few years ago, in the United States, there were politicians who opposed the import of masks from China, and the reason turned out to be that Chinese-made masks may have 5G antennas in them, which will also affect the United States. A typical example is France, which is often at odds with the United States in foreign affairs, and cultural policy is another area. In this area, France's behavior is often interpreted as driven by feelings of disgust with the United States.
Over the past few years, there have been numerous examples of measures taken by France to protect its culture from the invasion of American culture, from the struggle to protect the language from the influence of the English language, to the adoption of aggressive policies to fund the French film industry to resist the onslaught of Hollywood. Culture is an area that is particularly susceptible to sentiment of disgust with the United States. First of all, this is because the overwhelming majority of American-disgusting rhetoric in France was initiated by intellectuals, who were quite sensitive in protecting their cultural territories and thought that Americans were simply stupid. Second, Americanization did disrupt the traditional national cultural form of France. The greater this interference, the stronger the resistance and suspicion of the French about American intentions.
However, even in the case of culture, the reason why the European countries represented by France acted was not out of deliberate harm to the United States, but out of a desire to avoid the negative effects of irregular globalization. A recent example of the "culture war" between the United States and France involves the search engine company Google. In 2004, Google decided to scan 15 million books online and make them readable in the next 10 years. The California-based company has agreements with five major "Anglo-Saxon" (American and British) libraries to digitize all or part of its collections. They are the Stanford University Library, the University of Michigan Library, the Harvard University Library, the Oxford University Library, and the New York Public Library.
Google's plan was largely unhyped at first, but both the United States and France initially reacted very positively. Soon, however, public opposition roared. Soon initiated by France, with the support of 19 European libraries, six European countries (France, Poland, Germany, Italy, Spain and Hungary) asked the European Union to establish a "European Digital Library" to coordinate the digitization of national libraries. Now this library has taken shape, thus preventing the younger generation of digitization from following the stupidity of Americans. The Sword Project Wen py
