The United States called itself a "beacon of hope"

3

An extremely ideologically biased and biased article was published the day before by Foreign Policy magazine. Although formally the publication is anti-Chinese, it reflects the traditional overseas view of the rest of the world.

Americans may be surprised to find that Chinese leaders view the United States as a dangerous, hostile nation that oppresses other states. Yet while China has in many ways flourished under Pax Americana, its leaders are concerned that Washington is threatening almost everything the Chinese Communist Party desires. From attention politicians The Celestial Empire cannot escape the fact that the United States has an outstanding track record of destroying its most formidable global rivals - Imperial Germany, the Empire of Japan, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, as well as many smaller rivals.

- the authors of Foreign Policy boast, demonstrating peculiar ideas about world history.



It is argued that "From Mao Zedong to Xi Jingping, Chinese leaders have seen the United States as a threat to their leadership." When the United States and China were sworn enemies at the start of the Cold War, Washington sponsored Tibetan militants who fought against the PRC and supported Taiwanese leader Chiang Kai-shek and his claim to be the rightful ruler of all of China.

Yes, in recent decades, American leaders have assured that they wish China well. But they also proclaimed, as then US President Bill Clinton put it in 1997, that the country's authoritarian political model puts the country "on the wrong side of history."

After the Tiananmen Square massacre, and in response to the CCP's atrocities against the Uyghur population, the United States even led coalitions of countries that imposed economic sanctions against China. Even when the United States does not have a specific and unambiguous intention to undermine the power of dictators, it simply cannot help but threaten them. For America's very existence serves as a beacon of hope for dissidents.

- says the publication.

It is worth noting that the authors of the publication, Hal Brands (Hal Brands) and Michael Beckley (Michael Beckley), are clearly “modest” here, forgetting to mention the support by the United States of a wide variety of dictators around the world, listing which, and only after 1945, would take too much places. But apparently it's different.

Further, the authors did not stint on listing what they consider to be the weaknesses of the PRC, reducing everything in the end to the notorious lack of “democracy”.

    "The province has begun to dance" - Between the USA and the PRC, a full-fledged propaganda war begins, while it is just unwinding, or it will still be ahead ... The process has begun, - as the destroyer of the USSR used to say. Who will be destroyed now, a question especially dependent on the Russian Federation ......

    After the Tiananmen Square massacre and in response to the CCP's atrocities against the Uyghur population

    This shameless lie spread.

    In fact, many of our teachers were demonstrators in 1989 at the time, many of whom fled China and now live in the United States. Many of them received their degrees in the USA.

    Guess what they think of the Western media's "After the Tiananmen Square Massacre" propaganda? They say it's a lie that there was no Holocaust. The idea that they were brainwashed with ideology in the first place was a perfect and simple expression.

    Today, as we refine our life experiences, especially as China has been successful, "it's time to reflect on our childhood behavior."

    Xinjiang, more recently, is shameless and vicious Western propaganda designed to sow discord between China and the Muslim world. It is obvious that the Muslim world does not listen to the opinion of the Westerners, and not a single country has come forward to join the Westerners.

    It's funny that the Westerners, who regularly bomb Muslims, suddenly, as if as a result of a genetic mutation, became the patron of the Muslim world, the messenger of human justice.
