Hello everyone, I'm a leaf. These days, the Winter Olympics are on fire, we are busy watching the game, cheering the athletes, but many foreign media have become "lemon essence", all kinds of incitement, looking for stubble to pick things.
Fox News took aim directly at Gu Ailing, accusing her of fighting for China. The commentator said excitedly: "I think the only word we can think of is ungrateful, she (Gu Ailing) betrayed the country that raised her".
VOA: Gu Ailing represented China, and "sports immigration" is contrary to the Olympic spirit.
CNN: China's Olympic stars are......... American.
The Washington Post: "She (Gu Ailing) could become America's next Olympic superstar... If only she hadn't played for China. ”
From direct "scolding" to sarcasm, the US media has once again "double standard". When athletes from other countries were naturalized in the United States before, they were not such a "face".
Capitol Hill: The United States attracts top athletes from around the world, and our generous immigration system is an important part of the success of the Olympics. At least 34 American athletes weren't Born U.S., but they proudly represented the United States.
The New York Times: Since 2000, foreign-born sports stars have been contributing to the U.S. Olympic medal table. In December 2005, George W. Bush enacted special legislation to expedite the citizenship of three foreign-born figure skaters.
Dare to love in the eyes of the United States, only you can win. Athletes "moving in" is "fighting for their dreams", and "moving out" is "against the spirit of sportsmanship".
The United States is the "melting pot" of immigration, becoming a world power by attracting global talent. In the past, there have been outstanding athletes in China who have joined the United States for personal development and other reasons. Now that China has developed, Gu Ailing, who has Chinese ancestry, is fighting for China. And what right does the United States, as an immigrant country, have to criticize?
This kind of "small family" reaction reflects the frustration and decline of the United States, and as the gap between China and the United States continues to narrow, the United States is extremely sensitive to and afraid of any little progress in China. The US media always says that China needs medals to prove itself, but I think the United States now needs medals to prove that it is still the "world boss".
And Gu Ailing's gold medal is the best response to the US media! CNN, which said "Gu Ailing is an American" before the game, also changed the title in a gray way: "China's Gu Ailing won the gold medal"!
In addition to attacking Gu Ailing, the US media also had "infighting" because of the opening ceremony torchbearer Diniger.
Because DiNiger is an athlete from Xinjiang, NBC anchor Guthrie commented in the commentary: This scene is a "face-to-face response" to the West.
This sentence has triggered the "angry scolding" of many right-wing media people. "Does Guthrie work for the Chinese government"? "Guthrie, China appreciates your service." "Guthrie is China's propaganda mouthpiece." Wait a minute
The most exaggerated is the Wall Street Journal, which directly reads under the headline: "Diniger disappeared the day after the "ignition"" was launched. But on February 5th, Diniger clearly participated in the competition and was interviewed.
In fact, when I watched the foreign media in the past few days, I felt their various strange ways of writing, talking about the Winter Olympics before, a certain paragraph began to suddenly turn sharply, talking about "freedom, democracy, and human rights", and hyping up Xinjiang-related and Hong Kong-related issues.
But it is really rare for such a "specific" rumor as the Wall Street Journal to create a new height, which directly insults the intelligence of readers.
British political analyst Tom? Foday commented that if minorities were not represented at the opening ceremony, it would be considered evidence of "genocide". Now that there are representatives, they are also considered to be engaged in cultural repression and "manipulating the victims", and they are not flattered to do anything.
I would like to say that some people are just one mouth and two skins, and they are justified in their horizontal and vertical arguments, and they insist that there is so-called "genocide" in Xinjiang, and it is useless for us to say anything or do anything, because they ignore the truth and just use the political hype of the Winter Olympics to achieve their own political agenda.
In addition to attacking Chinese athletes, foreign media also hollowed out their minds to criticize the organizational activities of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
There are questions about China's nucleic acid testing standards. Deutsche Welle believes that China's new crown testing standards are too high, and some "healthy people" in Western countries have been tested positive in China. I think this angle of the German media is also funny, under China's testing standards, true yin yang can not be, true positive can not escape. China's standards are not so high as those of some countries. Will lowering testing standards make the outbreak better? This is a typical "ear covering" ringer.
There are also smears that "China drives away foreign journalists." On the night of the opening ceremony, a Dutch journalist was persuaded to leave in the traffic control area without showing his id documents and illegally doing live broadcasts. As a result, when it came to the mouths of foreign media, this matter became "interfering with reporter interviews and restricting press freedom." Fortunately, the IOC came out and said justice, pointing out that this is only an isolated incident and does not affect foreign media reports on China.
There are also those who provoke the "artificial snow" of the Beijing Winter Olympics to affect the climate. CNN interviewed various "experts" and athletes, and then yin and yang said that the temperature in Yanqing and Zhangjiakou was not low enough, artificial snowmaking consumed a lot of fresh water resources, and athletes were dangerous to compete on artificial snow. Artificial snow is not unique to China, and has been used a lot in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Sochi and Pyeongchang. Moreover, our artificial snow is technologically and environmentally friendly, and the source of snowmaking water mainly comes from surface runoff and rainwater, and the hardness and particle size of ice and snow are also monitored. The term "danger" is pure nonsense.
In fact, these "strange talks" are just another wave of "public opinion offensives" by foreign media in the biden administration's tough environment against China. The United States launched a so-called "boycott", and the result was very few. As a result, some media have turned to the field of competition to constantly find fault, hyping up the "human rights" issue and attacking Chinese athletes.
But the reporting and commenting of this pattern are "not on the table" after all, which makes people laugh. No matter how they attack and smear, how they envy and hate, they cannot change the fact that the Beijing Winter Olympics were successfully held.
