According to a report by the global network, recently, an article was published on Australia's "Pearl and Excitement" website, asking a very interesting question: If China puts on a "foreign dress" and becomes a Western-style country, will those foreigners still have trouble with us?
This old brother who writes articles, who has been thinking about Chinese and foreign affairs for 30 years, feels that he has to say something from the bottom of his heart. He said that Westerners have been at the helm of the world for hundreds of years, and now they suddenly have to sit on an equal footing with other cultures, especially with our yellow-skinned and black-eyed civilization.
Why don't they like us? The old brother summed up three points:
1. Fear of losing: On the surface, they talk about open competition, but behind the scenes, they are afraid that China's economy will soar and steal their jobs. You see, they are stumbling on us in science and technology and trade, aren't they afraid that their own golden chairs will not be stable?
2. Makeover fantasies: They want us to become members of the "democracy club" like them, but this ticket is not easy to get, and you have to be obedient first.
3. Influence anxiety: China is thriving in the international arena, and foreigners are worried that their backyards will be affected by us, and they are in a hurry, so they think of ways to hold us down.
But that's not the root of the matter. The key is that the energy of "superiority" in their hearts, as well as the taste of contempt for others, makes them unwilling to admit that others can succeed.
The old brother went on to say, let's assume that China is really doing what the West is like, what will the result be? My brother said, even if we play according to their rules, our power is still there, and we can still fight with them with bayonets in the global market. At that time, what reason will they find to suppress us? It is estimated that they are still thinking in their hearts that when we "westernize", their own methods that work will not work, and they will take advantage of the chaos.
Actually, the logic behind this is quite simple, that is, I don't want us to stand on the same stage as equals. They always feel that our culture is not good, and we can't play them under the unfair rules they set. But the reality is that we have begun to stand shoulder to shoulder, or even surpass, with them in the lofty fields of high-tech and new energy.
In the final analysis, this is not just a matter of China's changing "foreign atmosphere", but a question of whether the West is willing to accept a diverse world and whether it is willing to live in peace with a big country like ours with its own characteristics.
Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this old brother in Australia? If China really becomes a "foreign version", can those countries in the West put aside their prejudices and get along with us? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
