After Messi's failure to make a contract in Hong Kong, his credibility in China fell to the bottom. Both Hong Kong compatriots and mainlanders are full of anger towards Messi. And the happiest thing about this matter turned out to be British netizens, because of the Falklands.
As many people know, the United Kingdom and Argentina have a large territorial dispute, namely the Malvinas Islands, commonly known as the Falklands.
Who does the Falklands belong to? The United Nations and China support Argentina's recovery of the Falklands
The Malvinas Islands, also known as the Falkland Islands, are located off the southeastern coast of Argentina. With a total area of 12,200 square kilometers, the Falklands are considered to be a large island. The Falklands are 108,000 miles from the United Kingdom, on the doorstep of Argentina, but they are British territory. Historically, the Falklands are closer to Argentina and were administered earlier, so the Falklands should belong to Argentina.
In 1816, newly independent Argentina declared sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands. But Britain drove Argentina out by force in 1833**. In 1892, Falkland Island became a British colony. Argentina is 10,000 reluctant to do this.
In 1982, Argentina's Galtieri Army** launched the Falklands War in order to win the hearts and minds of the people. Unfortunately, Argentina was not strong and was quickly defeated by the British Navy. Until now, the Falklands area is still occupied by the British, and Argentina has not given up its claim to the Falklands.
I can't fight and fight, I can't quarrel, Argentina is very helpless. But for more than 100 years, Argentina has been obsessed with the Falklands.
The United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf is more in favor of the Argentine side. China's position on the issue of the Malvinas Islands is consistent, and China firmly supports Argentina's legitimate claim to sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands.
After the Messi incident, Chinese netizens believed that the Falklands belonged to the United Kingdom, and British netizens thanked them
After Messi, Chinese netizens overwhelmingly began to support the UK. Overnight, the wind changed, and Chinese netizens were all saying that "the Falklands belong to the United Kingdom".
Take a look at the comments from netizens:
It's better to belong to the UK, after all, the Argentines are too hypocritical. ”
The Falkland Islands have been an integral part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland since ancient times. ”
There is nothing to say about the Falklands, it just belongs to the United Kingdom. ”
Messi fans say that Messi is a world-class star and there is no shortage of the Chinese market. Yes, he really has no shortage, he just can make hundreds of millions of endorsement fees in China every year. Since he is not lacking, we Chinese are not short of this one who plays football! As consumers, it is reasonable for us to express our dissatisfaction. Hong Kong fans can't be bullied. Messi, that's our attitude.
In this era of information, every turmoil is an opportunity to think and awaken. Behind the Messi incident, it is not only an apology from a football star, but also a test of patriotism and personal morality. We should be vigilant, not be blinded by blind star chasing, and look at every event with a rational eye and think about its deeper meaning.
