An evaluation of the results of the "International Exchange Fund" under the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was exposed on the Chinese Internet, showing that a group of Chinese public opinion activists were invited to Japan for exchanges and wrote a number of articles that satisfied the Japanese side after returning home. Online uproar: This is the well-known evidence that the Japanese side has clearly provided "funding" and "buying" China.

First of all, huanshi should say that it is a common practice in international exchanges to invite various people from other countries to travel and study in their own countries at the expense of one country, and some People in China cannot be blamed or severely ideologically characterized just because they have participated in exchange activities funded by Western countries. In fact, people with the labels of "left" and "right" in the eyes of the public have been invited to Western countries in previous years to communicate, and this fact must be told to the public truthfully.
However, the first reason why netizens are angry is probably not that the people named by the Japanese disclosure documents accepted the invitation of Tokyo, but that the creations of some of them before and after going to Japan were too consistent with the goals of the Japanese side to invite them, and everyone could not help but have the impression that "the Japanese side pays for it, they do things".
Objectively speaking, all international exchange programs are aimed at allowing those who come to visit and study to learn more about their country, influence their perception of their country, and promote their own interests by spreading the affected knowledge through them. And what the invitees do, whether they can keep a clear head in the face of the large amount of information provided by the inviting country, control that information, and never leave the interests of China and the Chinese while promoting information exchange, this is the most crucial.
What we would also like to tell the public is that with the intensification of the confrontation between the United States and China and the increase of ideological conflicts between China and the West, the above-mentioned exchanges between China and the West are decreasing sharply, and the prevention of each other's "infiltration" through international exchanges has never been improved. There have also been many voices in Western countries that oppose their own institutions and personnel accepting funding and invitations from Chinese institutions.
People-to-people exchanges between China and the West will certainly be reduced as a result, and the information disclosed by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also be partly a thing of the past. China's foreign exchanges will not be specially impacted by this wave of criticism of the "public knowledge" of invited visits to Japan on the Internet, and in the current environment, international exchanges must face the deepening of the ideological gap between China and the West, cross various complexities, and explore ways to constructively expand such exchanges.
Over the years, countless people in China have traveled to the West to travel and study in various ways, and the long-term insight effect produced by this kind of travel is obviously greater than the role of "being influenced by the West", and the tide of studying abroad has undoubtedly had an overall positive impact on China. Therefore, patriotism is the nature of the vast majority of people, and it is not so easy to be erased, and as for some people who are questioned about patriotism, they need to conduct their own personal reflection, rather than closing a certain door to China's opening up to the outside world.
