Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the "China threat theory" in the United States, as if China has become a "global public enemy" wielding a big stick everywhere. However, Assistant Minister Hua Chunying's ingenious metaphor made these voices instantly unconvincing. "If your only tool is a hammer, then everything looks like nails," she said. This sentence is simple and easy to understand, but it is deeply philosophical.
Hua Chunying uses this phrase to describe those who blindly promote the "China threat theory", as if they only have a hammer in their hands, and they want to knock on everything they see, declaring that it is a "threat". Whether it is technology companies such as Huawei and Douyin, or ordinary tools such as weather balloons and cranes, or even agricultural products such as corn and garlic, they have all been regarded as "nails" by them, claiming that this is evidence of China's "threat".
This kind of blinding behavior really makes people laugh and cry. This is reminiscent of 70 years ago, when China's national strength was in decline, and it was passively beaten and slaughtered everywhere. At that time, the United States, and other Western countries, had they ever looked at China squarely?Now, with the gradual strengthening of China's national strength, some people in the United States have begun to feel uneasy and have begun to propagate the "China threat theory."
But in fact, China's strength is not a threat, but an opportunity. China's development has not only benefited the Chinese people, but also brought great opportunities to the world. The innovation of Huawei, Douyin and other enterprises has enabled consumers around the world to enjoy more convenient and intelligent servicesAdvances in weather balloons, cranes and other tools have promoted the development of global science and technology and industryThe abundance of agricultural products such as corn and garlic also contributes to global food security.
Of course, China's strength also comes with responsibilities and challenges. But this does not mean that China poses a threat to other countries. On the contrary, China has always adhered to the concept of peaceful development and is committed to win-win cooperation with other countries to jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind.
Therefore, for those who blindly promote the "China threat theory", Hua Chunying's metaphor is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face. China is not a "nail", let alone a "threat". China is a rising power, a country full of vitality and opportunities. We should see China's strength and the opportunities it brings to the world, rather than blindly seeing it as a "threat".
In short, Hua Chunying's analogy shows us the absurdity of the "China threat theory". China is not a "threat", but a rising power, a country full of vitality and opportunity. We should look at China's development with an open and inclusive mindset and embrace a better future together.
