Special thanks for the invitation, I learned a lot from the morning meeting.
The first time I participated in the EU-China Human Rights Seminar, I thought there would be a lot of controversy, because I watched the Western ** every day, and sometimes I would feel angry when I watched it. Including some ** in Europe, there are also some think tanks that report on China's development every day, and after reading it, I think, why do they see China so much?Too bad!I couldn't agree more.
But I feel a little comforted to be here today, because my views are similar to those of most European scholars, so my following remarks are only for those European leaders, especially those European think tanks that criticize China.
I implore many of my European friends here today to convey some of my very tangible and story-like feelings to my friends, very real, and of course very straightforward, as those who know me know this.
This is the first time I have been to Europe in four years, and I have been to almost all countries in Europe, including some small countries, such as Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, etc., but because of the epidemic, I have not come for 4 years, so this time I am going to go to 8 countries in Europe, and I have to visit some old friends. When I came, I felt very deeply. I think Europe may be paying the price for the arrogance and ignorance of the world, the laziness of life, and the disregard for the development of human rights in Chinese by some Europeans, especially European politicians.
I really say this from the heart, only a true friend would say it so bluntly. I have three major impressions, the new impression of Europe when I came to Europe for the first time after 4 years, although I didn't go far enough.
First, some cities in Europe are dirty.
Yesterday I walked more than 30,000 steps and more than 20 kilometers on the streets of Rome and saw that the streets were full of garbage, mineral water, confetti, cigarette butts, including the Vatican. The place where the Pope lives should theoretically be very clean!By this standard, Rome would not be rated as a "civilized city" in China.
There are more than 300 civilized cities in China, and China's first city should be rated as a "civilized city", if it is not a civilized city, it may not be able to have some preferential policies.
Rome, Paris, Milan, Berlin are slightly better, and there is too much garbage in the downtown area. If it is dirty, it must violate the human right to live elegantly and comfortably in the city, so it is necessary to criticize human rights in Europe!Because living in a clean city is a human rights standard. In China, the vast majority of cities are very clean. This is what has changed in the last five years, 10 years, and especially in the last five years. In the last five years, we have suffered from infectious diseases, and Chinese cities have become cleaner.
In addition, European cities are not safe. I was carrying my bag on the streets of Rome yesterday and holding my wallet all the time. Many friends remind you that when you go shopping in Europe, you must cover your wallet, because there are many thieves and pickpockets. A few years ago, I was in Paris and my wallet was stolen, and there are many thieves in Paris.
In China, there are almost no thieves on the streets of the cities. Why?Because in China there is no cash anymore, they are all paid by mobile phones, and without cash, there will be no thieves stealing you.
Homeless people are also often seen on the streets of European cities. In China's cities, there are almost no homeless people and no slums. Therefore, it is necessary to criticize the human rights of Europe, which does not care for the human rights of so many homeless and refugees.
Objectively speaking, now, it should be that the Chinese should have more confidence to criticize human rights in Europe, why do so many people in Europe arrogantly criticize China's human rights?This is the first feeling, a very real feeling, and it's all based on reality, not lying.
The second feeling is that Europe is so expensive!
I walked more than 20 kilometers yesterday and consumed a lot of things, mineral water, taxis, food, hotel services. I feel that prices in European cities are at least two, three, or even four or five times more expensive than in Beijing.
For example, a bottle of mineral water costs 1 or even 2 euros, which is about 8 yuan, which is about 1$5. Taxis are also expensive, as are hotels. Frankly speaking, the hotel where we are meeting now is a three-star or four-star standard in China, but the accommodation fee is 3,000 yuan, about 400-500 euros.
In China, a hotel like this is 50-60 euros even in Beijing, but it costs 200 to 300 euros here, which is too expensive.
Actually, Europeans don't have very high incomes!The monthly salary is about 2,000 euros, which is not much higher than the average salary in Beijing, so it is necessary to care about the Europeans, how can they afford such high prices?I must be worried about the human rights of Europeans.
The third feeling is that the European equipment is too old.
I have a very poor sleep quality now, and if there is a little noise in the room, I will lose sleep. In the few hotels I stayed in, the air conditioning was too noisy. But as long as the air conditioner is turned off, the room is too hot.
New energy vehicles are hardly seen in Europe. In China's Beijing and Shanghai, there are new energy vehicles everywhere, and China has paid a huge price for climate change and "carbon neutrality", even if it is the price of economic decline.
More than 60% of the world's new energy vehicles are produced and sold in China, and China is really tackling climate change. But why doesn't Europe develop new energy vehicles?And the equipment is generally very old, which consumes more energy. Therefore, it is necessary to wonder if Europe is concerned about the future of human rights in the world!
Wang WenI say this, my European friends, are you angry?Because I'm criticizing Europe, but I'm really concerned about Europe, and I'm telling the truth. If you see the reality that Europe is spreading rumors about China every day, will you be even more angry?Hearing a Chinese friend tell the truth like this, you are all a little angry, then, Chinese see that Europe **, the United States ** spread rumors about China every day, then will the Chinese be even more angry?
My final conclusion is that some politicians in Europe are too ignorant and arrogant!
Lady von der Leyen in Europe is a bit like the Empress Dowager Cixi in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, ignorant, arrogant, and incompetent. She is leading Europe to an endless abyss, more and more corrupt, more and more backward, will not develop, as many have criticized, she is a failed politician.
Therefore, we must avoid ignorance and arrogance, respect each other's human rights development, and understand each other's progress. I love Europe very much, I love Italy, I will always be a supporter of Italian football, but I don't want Italy, I don't want Europe to fall so badly.
As a true friend, I say something truthful and I hope it will resonate with everyone.
Thanks again, thank you!
