1) The United States and the West have been hyping up the so-called "deterioration of China's business environment" for some time. They described China's implementation of the "Counter-Espionage Law" as evidence that "China is closing itself off from the rest of the country" and "China does not welcome foreigners." In the final analysis, this is still a kind of "discourse trap", and the situation in American society is much more serious than that in China. In the last six or seven years,In the context of the Sino-US game, the United States has often used the pretext of "******" and has done a lot of unbelievable and jaw-dropping "strange things", "bad things" and "absurd things".
Unlike the "romantic fantasies" that some people in China have about the United States, the United States is an extremely "barbaric" country in history. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States imprisoned as many as 120,000 Japanese American citizens or Japanese expatriates in concentration camps over a period of five years in the name of "preserving it." The then ** Roosevelt of the United States had a notorious speech when he declared war on Japan:
All persons over the age of 14 who are residents of the United States of America and who were born in a hostile country and who are not naturalized in the United States may be considered 'foreign enemies' and may be authorized to arrest or imprison or deport or arrest, or arrest, or forcibly relocate, or to take any action necessary for the safety of the public, as required by law in the United States or within the jurisdiction of the United States. ”
The reason given by the United States at that time was that it suspected that these Japanese and overseas Japanese supported Japan. As a result, these people were imprisoned in concentration camps by the United States, and many of them were actually American citizens, and some had even worked and lived in the United States for decades. A large number of Japanese and overseas Japanese had to give up or sell their property and live in closed Japanese concentration camps. According to statistics, from the opening of the first concentration camp on May 27, 1942 to the closure of the last concentration camp in December 1947, a total of 120,000 Japanese and overseas Japanese were imprisoned in the five years.
At the same time, after the war between the United States and Japan, the hatred of Japanese in American society also spread to many Asians, and many Chinese and Koreans also became the objects of hatred of Americans, and they had to prove that they were "not Japanese" in various ways.
Looking at the description above, are there any similarities to today's situation? As long as the United States plays the pretext of "defending", it can ignore the rule of law and human rights, and do many unconscionable things. So it was in the past, and it still is today. According to the general understanding, even if the United States and Japan go to war, what does it have to do with those Japanese who have already become American citizens? Why do you want to do something to this part of the Japanese, who are actually already citizens of the United States? This fully shows that in the society of white European descent in the United States at that time, no matter whether Japanese Americans in the United States have become American citizens or not, they are not really "their own people" and will be regarded as "potential enemies." Behind this, there is a kind of "white-centric" racist thinking at work. Another point can also prove that there is serious racism and discrimination against Asian Americans in American society. At that time, although the United States also declared war on Germany and Italy, the United States did not put Germans and Italian-Americans in concentration camps, and only Japanese Americans and overseas Japanese were subjected to this barbaric treatment.
4) Although Sino-Japanese relations are not good today, the people's hostility is serious, and at the same time, Japanese militarism committed heinous crimes in World War II, the United States' practice of imprisoning Japanese Americans and Japanese expatriates who have nothing to do with Japanese militarism in concentration camps is still wrong. It reflects a "savage" mindset in the United States** and American society in the face of races other than whites - "those who are not of my race must have different hearts". The imprisonment of a large number of Japanese Americans and overseas Japanese in concentration camps has become a stain on the history of the United States, and this matter has been severely criticized by many people. In the past few decades, the United States has had to apologize for this incident many times, believing that it was the fanaticism and prejudice caused by the war that caused such a "tragedy", and the United States has also had to compensate the victims many times. But do you think something like this won't happen again? In the past, they were able to put Japanese and overseas Japanese in concentration camps, but in the future, they may once again target and attack Chinese and overseas Chinese when serious problems arise in Sino-US relations.
5) In the past six or seven years, in the context of the Sino-US game, the United States has repeatedly attacked and slandered China, and some American politicians have also continued to "demonize" China, which also contains a lot of barbaric and naked racist sentiments. In this case, many Americans have a declining favorability of China, and even some Americans feel "scared" at the mention of traveling to China. During the Trump era, the United States** also launched a "prey operation" specifically targeting Chinese scholars and scientists, resulting in many Chinese scholars and scientists being investigated, discriminated against, targeted, and stigmatized. This kind of extreme anti-China sentiment has actually had serious consequences in the real world.
6) Historically, once the relationship between the United States and a certain country deteriorates, the United States will do a lot of unbelievable "barbaric" acts under the guise of "**". The pathological "electoral politics" in the United States has catalyzed and strengthened all kinds of performative and showy xenophobic motives, leading to many extreme xenophobic sentiments in American society. In the game between China and the United States, we have seen a large number of almost "pathological" reactions from American politicians and the United States
They think Chinese-made harbour cranes will steal from the United States
They argue that Tesla's use of CATL equipment in its battery factories in the United States is "unacceptable";
They believe that some Chinese companies and individuals buying a small amount of corn land in the United States will harm the United States
They believe that a high-altitude runaway balloon is going to detect the secrets of the US strategic nuclear missile base;
They subjected Chinese students to insulting interrogations, searches, and prolonged detention when they entered the country;
American society is increasingly engulfed in a hostility and prejudice against China and the Chinese.
7) Compare our China, Apple's iPhone is everywhere, Tesla's electric car is running all over the street, I am using the Windows operating system when writing this article, and this computer uses Intel chip ......If the "hysterical" reaction of those people in the United States is followed, the Chinese do not have to live at all. Today, it is not the Chinese who are afraid and afraid of the United States, but the extreme fear and fear of all elements related to China by some people in American society.
8) Do you feel strange to such an America? No, that's what America really is. Such an America has been repeated throughout history. When the head of TikTok, Zhou Shouzi, was questioned in the US Congress, he was repeatedly asked by US lawmakers about his relationship with China, and Zhou Shouzi had to repeatedly emphasize that he was a "Singaporean". The subtext behind this way of asking questions by US lawmakers is, "As long as you are Chinese, you are a bad person" and "as long as you have a relationship with China, you will do bad things." What kind of bullshit logic is thistm!
While the United States is hyping up China's "closing the door to the outside world," China is actually "opening the door and taking the big road." This is evidenced by the fact that China has signed visa-free or unilateral visa-free agreements with a number of countries in the past period. Today, any American walking the streets of China does not have to worry about being shouted "go back to America." However, today, some Americans who are not Chinese at all, but only Palestinian civilians in **Israel**, will also be shouted by former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi to "go back to China." What a stark contrast. Who the hell is crazy and savage xenophobia? Who is embracing the world with open arms? Isn't the conclusion clear at a glance?
Some netizens said that today's United States is very similar to China in the late Qing Dynasty - the tail is too big to fall, closed and backward. Today, although the United States bears the "hat" of the world's largest GDP, the whole country is riddled with holes, all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have jumped out, and all kinds of bad omen have repeatedly appeared. Some people may ask, "The United States is so bad, why do rich people all over the world run to the United States?" "The person who asks this kind of question is still holding the old yellow calendar from decades ago. Today, the people who run to the United States the most are ordinary people in Latin America, hundreds of thousands or even millions a year, just look at the U.S.-Mexico border. The truth is,Jimmy Rogers, an American investor, moved his family to Singapore many years ago to let his children learn Chinese. Musk, the founder of Tesla, praised China's efficiency on American social networks almost every day, lamented that China's infrastructure is more advanced than that of the United States, and believes that China's automotive industry has the strongest competitiveness in the world.
If you are a wealthy person with more than $1 billion in assets, you can definitely live well in the United States. After all, the United States is a capitalist country that serves the rich, and if you have money, you are indeed the "uncle". You can justifiably send your children to Harvard, Yale and other prestigious universities through "smart donations", you can make US congressmen and governors your "guests", and you can even go to the White House to meet Biden at any time.
However, if you are just an ordinary Chinese citizen, if you go to the United States, you can only "enjoy" the worst side of American society - tens of millions of people have no medical insurance, a casual hospital can bankrupt your family, the most expensive prescription drugs in the world, endless ** incidents, many neighborhoods in big cities basically dare not go out alone at night, drug abuse, extreme xenophobia is on the rise, ......If you yearn for such an America, then I wish you a "dream come true" as soon as possible.
There are still many problems and deficiencies in China, our level of modernization still needs to be improved, the vast majority of Chinese people still hope that their lives can be better, and we all hope that fairness and justice can be more fully reflected in all aspects of Chinese society. However, as a Chinese, what we have to do is to do our own things well and build our own country in a down-to-earth manner. Do not have the illusion that there is a perfect country in this world, such a country does not exist at all, and the United States is not such a country at all. In particular, we should oppose some people who "pick up the bowl and eat the meat, put down the chopsticks and scold the mother".
We all hope that Sino-US relations will be good, but we should not have unrealistic illusions about this. Next, there may be new turbulence in Sino-US relations. All businesses that rely on exports to the United States, think about it, what would you do if the United States raised tariffs significantly again, as Trump said, to 60 percent? All parents who want to send their children to study in the United States should think carefully about what are the risks and costs of doing so? All friends who want to immigrate to the United States must ask themselves, once Sino-US relations change in the future, will the United States once again put you in a concentration camp in the name of "**"? Or at the very least, you have to ask yourself, once the Sino-US relations change, what targeted measures will the United States take to crack down on ethnic Chinese and overseas Chinese in the United States? Can you afford these crackdowns?
