A bird's eye view of China's rise – why China

1. Chinese not keeping international credit?

In early 2000, major general Jin Nanyi of the Chinese People's Liberation Army went to the Royal Academy of Military Sciences to study, and when he signed in, Professor Taylor suddenly said: "Yo, Chinese coming?" You Chinese not keep your international credibility. ”

This is the first time that the Chinese People's Liberation Army has sent an officer to the Royal Academy of Military Sciences to study, and in the purpose of study and exchange, it has encountered such unfriendly questioning!

The negotiations turned out to be due to the return of Hong Kong in 1997. Taylor said: "According to the New Territories Lease signed in 1898, the New Territories were returned in 1997, excluding Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, but you Chinese take them all together, which is not in line with international credibility." ”

I think the first thing that many people want to say is that Hong Kong originally belongs to China! The Defeat of the Qing Government in the First Opium War, forced to sign the Treaty of Nanking formally ceded Hong Kong to Britain, and then began 156 years of British colonial rule, more than a hundred years of sovereign rule by the British has long tacitly accepted Hong Kong as a part of it, we feel strange but they feel that they take it for granted.

It is a matter of national credibility and dignity, how can we allow others to trample on and desecrate at will? Kim Nam-il replied to Professor Taylor, "Mr. Taylor, do you know?" On the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao Zedong had already declared that all unequal treaties would not be recognized. The Treaty of Nanking and the Treaty of Beijing were signed by the Qing Dynasty, and New China did not recognize them, and we do not recognize all unequal treaties, so we must take them back together! ”

What is the basis for the performance of the contract? Agreements and treaties are decided to be signed by the two sides through mutual consultation on the basis of fairness and justice. The relevant descriptions in our history textbooks have always been forced to sign, and the signing of the Treaty of Nanking was the beginning of the qing government opened the door of the Qing government by the great powers by force, aggression and plunder. How do we live up to the spirit of the contract, and why do we recognize the benefits of unequal treaties? If the recourse to force is justified, then the world needs the police, the peacekeeping force, what does the United Nations do? It is good for everyone to solve the problem by military strength.

Therefore Chinese we did not fail to abide by international credit, we only kept the faith that should be kept and fulfilled the covenants that should be fulfilled. To reclaim Hong Kong's sovereignty is to declare to the world that a country's territory cannot be invaded by others, and a country's sovereignty cannot be interfered with by others; more importantly, we are helping the international community to correct its mistakes through self-reliance and self-reliance: all unequal treaties signed under force have no contractual effect, and no matter how long it belongs to you, you must take it back, and unreasonable credit does not have to be kept or fulfilled!
