On February 24, according to Weibo netizens @前站takeoff, @plan ddg172 and other previously posted online posts, the soldiers of the ** team and the staff of Airbus were stationed in front of the plane, and they asked the passengers queuing up to visit about their nationality, and said that "Chinese and Russian tourists are not allowed to board." The netizen said that the German soldiers on the plane also physically attacked him, while another netizen filmed the Airbus staff brutally driving him away in front of the camera.
It is worth noting that according to Hong Kong Satellite TV, the soldiers and staff in front of the German transport plane did not allow Chinese mainland tourists to board, but allowed Taiwan tourists to board, and the German ** people also smiled and took photos with Taiwanese tourists.
At about 22 o'clock on February 25, Airbus issued its latest response to this matter. Airbus said that after learning of this situation, Airbus immediately communicated and coordinated with relevant parties, improved the visit process in a timely manner, and ensured that the aircraft was open to all visitors. Airbus deeply regrets the inconvenience caused by the previous on-site work. Airbus said in a statement that the company has been committed to becoming a trusted long-term partner of China's aviation industry, and is willing to work with Chinese partners to set an example for China-EU economic and trade exchanges and build a bridge of communication between the two sides (in addition, Airbus replied** that since the afternoon of February 24, Chinese visitors have been boarding and visiting without hindrance).
The hostility and vigilance of Airbus staff and Germans towards Chinese mainland people may come from two aspects. This is a military transport aircraft, and the core value of the A400M transport aircraft lies in the TP400-D6 turboprop engine it carries. Here it can only be said that some Germans were taken by the West *** Even if the Chinese Y-20 has been put into service, it is still believed that the Chinese will take the opportunity to "acquire key technologies"; The war situation in Ukraine is tight, the EU has imposed a new round of sanctions on Russia, and even Chinese companies that maintain normal relations with Russia have not let go, some things have been deeply rooted in the "bone marrow", and the one-China principle and commitment to China have long been forgotten; Viewing China as a potential strategic rival, there were similar incidents of exclusion of Chinese as early as the 2009 Paris Air Show.
NATO, the so-called defense organization, has made no secret of its hostility towards China, trying to replicate the Ukrainian model in the Taiwan Strait (the Ukrainian model is actually forcing neighboring countries to join NATO or cooperate with it by exaggerating the military threat of a certain major power). The factual context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is very clear, and the root cause of the conflict is NATO's unlimited eastward expansion, which threatens Russia's geostrategic interests. China is not a party to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, nor has it benefited from it, and China's position has always been to promote peace talks and promote a political solution to the conflict. Some people pour their anger on innocent Chinese, saying only that they have found the wrong person.
Commonplace hostility
In the high-tech sector, it has long been commonplace to ban Chinese from entering. On February 26, local time, 10 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, issued a joint statement in support of the 6G principle. At the same time, the AI-RAN Alliance was also established at MWC2024 in Barcelona on the same day, which is led by NVIDIA, in order to innovate technology and seize a more advantageous position in the upcoming 6G era. The group has a total of 11 initial members, including semiconductor, telecommunications and software giants such as Samsung, Arm, Ericsson, Microsoft, Nokia, Nvidia and SoftBank, and China's Huawei and ZTE are not included.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, a Chinese born in Taipei, China, whose ancestral home is Qingtian, Zhejiang Province, China, said in an interview in SingaporeHuawei, Intel, and a growing number of semiconductor startups pose a serious challenge to Nvidia's dominance in the AI accelerator market. Prior to his visit to Singapore, Huang had earlier visited Japan, where he met with the prime minister and economic minister and pledged to work with Japanese companies to build a network of semiconductor factories in Japan.
Some people have self-criticized that the quality of Chinese people is low, the entrepreneurial environment is poor, and most of them are self-inflicted when they are discriminated against. Many Chinese people are fooled by this kind of remarks, and they dare not come out when they encounter the problem of discrimination, desperately remembering that they have done wrong, and completely forgetting to protect their rights and interests. Are Chinese really discriminated against because of their low quality? Are people from other countries really that good? I'm afraid not, Americans are ignorant and arrogant; The French take the sheep by the hand; Russians are brutal; Italians are unruly; The British love to run red lights; Indians have all kinds of strange things and so on, these are famous regional black. How can we discriminate against Chinese on the issue of quality alone?
China is on the rise, and a large number of Chinese people are going abroad to compete with the West. As the most powerful opponents of Western civilization, China and Chinese civilization are very likely to replace the United States and Western civilization as world leaders in the future. The Western world, led by the United States, will naturally instinctively blacken, discriminate, and reject Chinese and Chinese culture. Chinese people are diligent, restrained and humble, pay attention to more things than less, are accustomed to sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, and no one speaks for equality and rights, leaving foreigners with the impression that Chinese are easy to bully. Although there are a large number of overseas Chinese, they are not united in themselves, but the circle is extremely marginalized.
To get rid of discrimination and differential treatment, we must learn to fight and defend our rights, and let the world know that Chinese are not easy to be fooled and are not so easy to be bullied;Don't be satisfied with your own small circle, try to fight and speak out against the mainstream society abroad;Efforts should be made to expand the influence of civilization, grow from a cultural importer to a cultural exporter, and eliminate the world's hostility and misunderstanding of China at the root. The most important point is independent innovation and enhance scientific and technological strengthLet the doubters: nothing to say!
