Messi's Hong Kong game, and Japan's game, showed a different attitude. Hong Kong is blackface all the time, refusing to play and refusing to interact. In the Japanese game, the game lasted for 30 minutes, and gave Japanese fans enough face, and there were a lot of bright smiles throughout the whole process.
For this reason, when we mention Messi now, we will buckle the hat of "Jingri". AI has also been used on the Internet to generate a lot of photos of Messi's "Jing Ri".
Because Japan and our blood feud are deep, "Jingri" is a deprecating term in China, representing absolute political correctness. Indeed, in China, we absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of any "Jingri" elements.
However, this hat is not so deadly if it is attached to a country that does not have a war enmity with Japan. Japan and Argentina have never fought in history, on the contrary, people in South American countries have a lot of good feelings towards Japan that we Chinese cannot understand.
Japan is a country of few immigrants, but more than 100 years ago, Japanese immigrants to South America, South America is now the largest area of immigration in Japan, and Brazil is known as the second home of the Japanese.
More than 100 years ago, Japan's Meiji Restoration, just like the "land enclosure movement" during the British Industrial Revolution, caused a large number of peasants to lose their land and create a large amount of surplus labor. At this time, Brazil, which is vast and sparsely populated, is facing a serious shortage of labor.
In order to absorb the labor force, the Japanese government and the Brazilian government have hit it off and introduced many policies to encourage immigration. At that time, advertisements for "immigration to South America" were plastered all over the streets of Japan.
Countless Japanese people have crossed the ocean to South America. Just like Chinatown, Japan has made a lot of "Japanese towns" in South America
People of Japanese descent are known as Nikkei in South America, and São Paulo, Brazil, is the city with the most cherry blossoms in South America. In World War II, Japan invaded China and Southeast Asia, and even Hong Kong, which was ruled by the British, was not spared. But Macau, which was ruled by the Portuguese, was spared. Because Portugal, the suzerainty of Brazil, has released cruel words, if Japan dares to occupy Macao, then the millions of Japanese in Brazil will not want to have a good life, and Japan can just think about it.
These Japanese in Brazil also began to spill over to other neighboring countries, and today, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, are the three countries with the largest number of Japanese immigrants in South America. Former Peruvian President Fujimori is an out-and-out purebred Japanese. Brazilian Pelé's wife, Marcia Aoki, is also of purebred Japanese descent.

Over the years, Japan has exported not only labor but also Japanese culture to South America. Japanese manga, costumes, and food are not uncommon in South America. Even many South Americans who see Asians with yellow faces have the preconceived notion that they are "japonesa" (Portuguese-speaking Japanese) or Japonés (Spanish-speaking Japanese). And not the "Chinese" of other European and American countries.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, on the other hand, was developed from Japanese Judo.
The point is that these Japanese, in South America, also belong to the representatives of the middle class, and are very popular in society as a whole. This also makes South Americans full of affection for the Japanese, and Messitaro is no exception.

And in football, there is a lot of interaction between the Japanese team and the South American team. More than 20 years ago, Japan was invited to participate in the America's Cup. The Japanese team's Hisashi Ying is even known as "Japan's Messi"
Japanese football is the only one in Asia, and it is played cleaner than South Korea. The performance of Japanese football, which is not friendly to the yellow race, is also an inspirational existence in the world. On the other hand, Chinese football is almost at the bottom of the world, which is extremely inconsistent with the image of our big country. Many foreign football players inevitably have a disdainful attitude towards Chinese football, and they are full of praise for Japanese football, and the so-called strength determines the attitude of others towards you, which may explain Messi's completely different attitude towards China and Japan.
Due to cultural influences, football strength, and even political stance, many other factors may explain why Messi is so "fine".
At this point, I would like to emphasize that I do not have any "Seishin-Japan" stance, but rather an objective explanation of the cultural ties between Japan and South America. In this way, we say that Messi is "Jingri", and there is no attack on him. The Argentine people will not be on our side and criticize Messi for this.
If we want to criticize Messi Taro, it is from the perspective of Messi's violation of the spirit of contract and business ethics, only when he collects money and does not work can he be lethal
