As the mainland became stronger and stronger, it gradually became one of the world's great powers, which gave the United States a sense of crisis and began to sanction the mainland from all sides.
Since the proclamation of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the United States has never stopped imposing sanctions on the mainland, especially in recent years, when the United States has begun to make "small moves" and "stumbling under the feet" of the mainland in various fields. In foreign countries, the "hot war between China and the United States" has always been a hot topic of discussion among netizens and the media.
In such a tense situation between China and the United States, if war breaks out between China and the United States, what will happen to the Chinese in the United States? Japan has already given an answer to this more than 80 years ago.
Japan's second home is the United States
In 1853, U.S. Admiral Matthew Perry led the Black Fleet to open the "gate" of Japan with cannons and signed the "Japan-US Treaty of Amity" with the United States.
The American Black Ship made the Japanese see the changes in the outside world, and Japan was not angry at the Black Ship attack on Japan, but thanked the United States. ”
What does this mean? The "four cups" in the poem refer to the four American black ships that suddenly came, which probably means that the black ships came, and Japan would not wake up from a dream of peace, and began the "Meiji Restoration."
In our opinion, it was the black ship that attacked the Japanese seaport, and the Japanese called it "the black ship came to sail", and the Japanese thought that without the black ship they were still "daydreaming of peace", so they were very grateful to the black ship for sailing and allowing them to see the changes in the outside world.
From then on, Japan began to learn Xi Western culture, and everything in Japan began to move closer to Western culture, from simple dressing to speaking, and Japan at that time was proud to wear a suit and speak English.
This also led to many Japanese yearning for the United States, and many Japanese people went to the United States to study Xi, and a large number of Japanese began to immigrate to the United States during the "Meiji Restoration" period.
At that time, Japan's domestic political turmoil, slow economic development, and large conscription also led to the immigration of Japanese people to the United States, and more than 80,000 Japanese people left for the United States from 1890 to 1923.
Until 1924, when the United States amended the Immigration Act, Japanese were prohibited from immigrating to the United States, and only a very small number of Japanese civil servants were allowed to enter the United States.
In the 1880s, Japanese immigrants came to the United States, and at first the United States was very welcoming, because at that time, the western development of the United States was in urgent need of labor, and the arrival of Japanese people to fill the problem of labor shortage, so the United States was very welcoming to the Japanese at that time.
But in 1900, the American people began to denounce Japanese immigrants, and Americans believed that the arrival of the Japanese robbed Americans of jobs, and it turned out that the Japanese began to lower labor pay in order to get more jobs after coming to the United States, which made some Americans lose their jobs.
In 1906, the Americans' rejection and hatred of the Japanese intensified, and they often staged demonstrations to demand that the U.S. government expel the Japanese.
From 1907 to 1908, the "Gentlemen's Agreement" was signed with the Japanese government, which banned Japanese laborers from entering the United States, except for Japanese women, and restricted only Japanese men.
Taking San Francisco as an example at that time, the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Americans was rampant, and they began to smash Japanese assets and boycott Japanese enterprises, causing heavy losses to Japanese immigrants.
But that didn't stop the Japanese from going to the United States, and you didn't ban Japanese laborers from entering the United States? From 1909 to 1923, more than 40,000 Japanese women came to the United States.
The arrival of Japanese women gradually made the Japanese settle in the United States, and Japanese immigrants began to spread in the United States, and the Japanese thought that they would take root in the United States from then on, but they did not expect the outbreak of World War II.
Japan went to war with the United States, and where did the Japanese immigrants go?
Japanese immigrants themselves were not welcomed in the United States, and they had to be "angry" for everything, but Japanese immigrants could still survive in the "cracks" until December 27, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States.
That night, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a national address saying, "This is the darkest day in the history of the United States of America," and declared that the United States and Japan were at war.
That night, the American masses smashed many Japanese shops, resulting in only some casualties among Japanese immigrants, and US President Roosevelt also ordered that all Japanese immigrants in the United States should be managed in a unified manner, so as to prevent the Japanese from doing evil in the United States.
Japanese immigrants were placed in the nearest "safe zone," which is better known as a "safe zone," but in fact there was no different from a "concentration camp" for prisoners of war, and even Roosevelt called it a "concentration camp" in his speech.
If you don't want to go, I will send troops to take you there compulsorily, and many Japanese immigrants think that they have changed to American citizenship, but it is useless, and they are all taken to the "safe zone."
Even Japanese Americans who had served in the military in the United States were asked to leave the army, and the US government ordered Japanese immigrants of Japanese descent to dispose of their assets within a week, and these Japanese Americans could only sell their assets in the United States at a low price, and all their efforts to work hard in the United States for many years were in vain.
The "security camp" is surrounded by barbed wire, and as long as a Japanese person steps out of the camp, the American GIs guarding the gate have the right to shoot Japanese Americans in the United States, and they can shoot directly without consulting their superiors.
Fortunately, Japanese Americans will not be exposed to personal safety if they stay in the "safety camp" without stopping, but the environment in the "safety camp" can only be described as dirty and messy, with feces and urine flowing everywhere, and people and excrement living together.
Moreover, the living space of the "safety camp" is very crowded, basically people sleep next to each other, and the living environment is poor, and the Japanese can tolerate it, but the Japanese are still learning Xi in the "safety camp", and the main content is to learn Xi English, watch books and movies.
The "security camp" also conducts regular "love beauty" questionnaires, in which the two most important questions are: "Are you willing to serve the U.S. military and fight for the U.S.?" Are you willing to pledge allegiance to the U.S. and defend the U.S. in the event of an external attack.
And one of the most fatal questions for Japanese people in the questionnaire is: "Can you give up your allegiance to the Japanese emperor?" and most Japanese Americans would choose to answer "yes".
First of all, the Japanese have already joined the United States and seceded from Japan, so there is no need for these people to be loyal to the emperor, and secondly, if they answer "no" in the "safety camp", they will receive one-on-one education, mainly beatings, so most Japanese and Japanese Americans will answer "yes".
During World War II, 20,000 Japanese fought for the U.S. military, and they abandoned the emperor and turned to prove to the United States in their flesh and blood that they loved the United States.
In January 1954, the United States closed these "safety camps" one after another, allowing the Japanese to return to society, but the Japanese also became left with nothing after returning, and according to the provisions of the U.S. Alien Land Act, the Japanese were prohibited from owning pre-war houses and land.
Even after the Japanese were released, the American masses still hated the Japanese and began to use violent means to drive the Japanese away, and even killed the Japanese.
The United States is not a "free country"
Although the Japanese were imprisoned during World War II, many Asians became the targets of the American masses and became "scapegoats" for the Japanese when they were attacked.
The United States has always claimed to be a "free country" that embraces all people of color, and if you believe that, you don't know much about American history.
After Columbus discovered North America, Western European countries invaded North America one after another, and established thirteen colonies here, and in 1776, Washington launched the "War of Independence" and won, and the United States was born, and the Declaration of Independence was issued.
The Declaration of Independence states: "All men are created equal, and their Creator has endowed them with certain inalienable rights, which include the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." ”
This so-called "equal rights" did not include slaves and African-Americans, who were brutally treated and humiliated by white slave owners in the decades from the Revolutionary War to the American Civil War.
It was not until 1865, after the end of the Civil War, that the United States promulgated the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, declaring the abolition of slavery, but Southern states enacted laws that discriminated against African Americans, imposed racial segregation, and established white supremacy. African-Americans are denied civil rights such as the right to vote and equal access to education.
In 1964, the United States also enacted the Civil Rights Act, and de jure racial segregation ceased to exist, but the racial divide in people's minds has always been difficult to bridge.
News of discrimination against other people of color in the United States is also rife, such as the shooting and killing of a black man by a state police officer, or the robbery of an Asian store by a white group.
There are even mainland Chinese Americans who are insulted as "yellow-skinned monkeys" in the United States, and these behaviors in the United States are very infuriating, and the American law does not properly deal with these problems, and most of them are biased towards the residents of the United States, which makes the "foreigners" very angry.
Since 2010, about 60,000 people have immigrated to the United States, and today there are 5.7 million Chinese Americans, the largest Asian American group in the United States.
There are so many Chinese in the United States, if there is a war between China and the United States one day, it will not be that we will be imprisoned like the Japanese? First of all, if the war is launched, the mainland will not ignore the Chinese in the United States, and will certainly take our relatives home.
In 2011, civil unrest broke out in Libya, and after learning of the news, the mainland immediately arranged for warships and planes to pick up compatriots home, and it took half a month to pick up 35,000 compatriots in Libya.
In addition to Libya, China is always the first country to arrive at the scene in the event of an emergency in Yemen, Nepal and other countries.
From this point, we can see that no matter where you are in the world, as long as there is danger, the motherland will definitely appear by your side as soon as possible, and this is China.
Therefore, the Chinese in the United States do not have to worry about the rupture of Sino-US relations, China will definitely try its best to take our compatriots home, now that our motherland is becoming stronger and stronger, and the international status is rising, both Chinese and Chinese people can straighten their backs in the international community, and any country can bully us at will, and this is the powerful new China today.
