This remark blatantly denied China's sovereignty and territorial integrity over the Xisha and Nansha Islands, and openly disseminated extremely erroneous geographical perceptions and political views on campus, violating the basic principle that international students in China should respect China's sovereignty, and directly led to an extremely tense atmosphere at the scene.
The school intervened in the investigation
After the incident was exposed, Hubei University officially issued a response, saying that the university has paid attention to the matter, is investigating to understand the specific situation, and will make a report after the investigation.
As soon as the online video was exposed, it immediately sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Most netizens expressed indignation at the international student's remarks, saying that he ignored China's territorial sovereignty and openly disseminated political views that contradicted the facts on campus, for which he should be severely punished. Some netizens also questioned whether since they are international students, whether there is a major lack of basic knowledge of China's national conditions and geography, so that there is such a serious cognitive bias.
Netizens hotly questioned it
"Doesn't this international student even know the general situation of China's territory? There should be a basic respect for the host country. "
"It is inconceivable to accept funding from the Chinese government while publicly denying China's territorial sovereignty."
"Schools should not be soft-hearted, and such erroneous remarks should be severely punished, otherwise there will be more whirlpools of public opinion and antagonism."
"We warmly welcome international students to study and exchange, but we also hope that they can truly respect and understand the national conditions of the host country and abide by the basic educational discipline."
Public opinion has questioned the lax management of colleges and universities, and expects to deal with it effectively
Some netizens believe that this incident reflects that colleges and universities may have negligence in the management of international students' education, and lax discipline has led to the possibility of misunderstanding or deliberate provocation by some international students. Therefore, we call on colleges and universities to further strengthen the education and management of international students, regulate their words and deeds on campus, and maintain the normal order of the teaching and public opinion environment.
Some netizens also called on universities to deal with the incident vigorously this time to avoid further deterioration of public opinion and the spread of antagonism. For a long time, some international students have violated rules and disciplines on campus, and extreme speech incidents have occurred from time to time, which has aroused widespread concern and criticism in the society.
Experts pointed out that in the enrollment agreements signed between universities and international students, it is at least necessary for international students to abide by Chinese laws and regulations and respect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. If there is any violation of rules and disciplines, it should be dealt with according to the agreement. It is hoped that colleges and universities can take school rules and discipline as the criterion, reflect a serious academic style and social responsibility, properly handle this incident, and avoid further escalation of the situation.
Author's point of view:
As an international student in China, it is a minimum requirement to have a basic understanding of China's national conditions and territorial geography. It is an indisputable historical fact that the Xisha and Nansha Islands have been China's territory since ancient times. However, in this incident, the international students involved clearly marked them as Vietnamese territory in public classes, openly denying China's territorial sovereignty, which really created a serious public opinion accident on campus.
Respecting the territorial sovereignty and national unity of the host country, and abiding by local laws and regulations, are the basic principles that every international student should abide by. However, this principle seems to have been ignored and deliberately violated by some international students. We warmly welcome international students from all over the world to study in China, and provide them with various financial assistance and facilitation conditions, in the hope that they can truly understand and love China, rather than openly denying China's sovereignty on Chinese soil.
A country's territorial integrity is related to national security and the fundamental interests of the people, and cannot be touched by any external force. There is an old Chinese saying that "family ugliness should not be publicized", that is, private affairs at home should not be publicized to outsiders, let alone serious political issues involving national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Our country has always pursued a peaceful diplomatic line, but it will never allow anyone to question and infringe on the scope of our sovereignty. Territorial sovereignty is sacred and inviolable, and this is the basic national consciousness that every citizen should have.
We treat international students in China equally and are warm and friendly. But at the same time, it is also expected that they can sincerely understand and respect traditional Chinese culture and national conditions and public opinion. If you don't even know a little about the basic geography of the country, let alone the understanding of Chinese culture. International students should know that each country has its own sovereign territory, and they all hope that foreigners can give due respect and do not have any words and deeds that go against the facts.
Finally, I would like to call on the relevant parties to handle this matter strictly and punish those involved accordingly, reflecting the great importance attached to the issue of sovereignty and territorial integrity. At the same time, it is also hoped that the majority of international students will cherish the opportunity to study in China, accept and learn Chinese culture with an open and humble attitude, instead of resting on their laurels and arrogantly denying the sovereignty of the host country. Respecting historical facts and safeguarding territorial integrity and national security are sacred obligations that every citizen should undertake.
