10分钟成功反击西方对中国的人权攻击 2
. Historic review
Human right problem of China became a focal point to criticize China
onlyafter the foundation of PRC. This was based on severe ideological
conflict. When china became a rising power, the western countries
consider China asa strong potential enemy. Human right becomes an
important civil weapon against China.
2. Malicious strategy of the US
Since the iron curtain was established after the Second World War, the
US started to lead the western party, fighting for its own global
strategic profit against the communistic world. After the disassembly
of USSR, China became the only remaining potential enemy power against
American globalsupremacy. The US established a malicious strategy,
putting china into adilemma.
First, the US wanted to repeat the victory against the USSR - to
forceChina racing on armament. To achieve this, they apply deterrent
(threatening) against china with extensive military pressure. China
was forced to develop its economy and military force as fast as
possible. China made his best to make economic and military wonder,
but the price for thisultimate efficiency was the depression of social
morality, unjust and severe environmental pollution.
Then, the US used the human rights as a moral weapon. In one aspect,
thehuman right was an effective factor to establish solidarity all
over theworld against china. In western world, the mentality was
similar. Westernpeople tend to pay more attention on individual
rights. With this method,the whole western world, from government to
people, can be united againstChinese government. In another aspect,
the overflow of the criticismagainst human rights in china can provoke
the attention of the Chinese people on the accumulating unjust. This
decreases the trust of people tothe government, accumulating the
anti-governmental force.
The power of china is based on its united reign and stable social
community. In Chinese history, none of the dynasties died because of
being invaded.They died because of the unstable society, and the
invasions were justcatalyst. If the anti-governmental force is strong
enough, the current Chinese government will be undermined, and this
biggest potential enemy will be turned into a new colony of western
countries. This is proven by thehistory.
3. Popular psychology of western people
Western culture was based on nomad culture. A very dominant feature
ofnomad culture is that when a tribe is strong enough, he will
definitelyinvade other tribes to control more territories and more
resources, becausethey will soon deplete their own resources in a
limited time. This meansthat every rising power will be a future
enemy. Actually, the history ofchina proved that china, based on
agricultural culture, has never invadedother countries for more
territories or resources. But as western peopledon't understand this
because of the different basis of culture, severemisunderstanding
exists.
Nomad cultures believe in jungle rule, while agricultural cultures
don't.Based on this, the colonization history provides the western
people animportant mentality: superiority over Chinese people (as well
as almost all the asian people). Because of this superiority and
arrogance, they don'twant to make effort to understand asian cultures.
But the rapid development of china challenges the superiority of
westernpeople. The daily life of western people is largely dependent
on China.The economy of western countries (especially Europe) is
closely connectedwith China. Nowadays, China is independent of western
countries on mosthigh technologies. If you don't sell a product to
China, Chinese peoplewill make it (even better ones) in a short time.
If you don't sell aresource to China, we can find enough in our huge
territory. This kind ofasymmetrical dependence, i.e. western countries
depend on China while Chinais relatively independent on western
countries, raised huge panic of western people.
Because of the misunderstanding of Chinese culture, western people
believethat china is no more a potential enemy, but a practical enemy,
an enemyagainst their superiority. No one wants his enemy to live
happily. However, the life of western people is highly dependent on
China. They don't have enough ability to change the situation in the
near future. So they darenot to see that China is already strong and
prominent. They dare not toconfess that they are being exceeded by
China. They dare not to confessthat any change on Chinese policy will
deeply affect their life. They darenot to see that China is
developing. In a word, they dare not to admit thefact that the former
"lower class" China, is defeating them. So they have to filter out all
the positive facts in China. They want to collect allthe dark side of
China to persuade themselves that "China is still very bad". This
ostrich psychology can only relieve themselves from panic for ashort
while.
The best proof is that in the 1980s, when China is still very poor,
and the ideological conflict was largely relieved, there were very
less criticism on human rights problems in China. When the time flies,
in 1990s, there weremore and more criticisms on human right problems.
4. Globalization: strike to the self-confidence of western people
It seems unbelievable, but it's true.
A couple of years ago, Hamburg lowered the salary standard of workers.
Thereason was that some big companies wanted to move their factories
to China,resulting tens of thousands of unemployment in Hamburg.
Everyone knows that China is the world factory because we have cheaper
workers. The Hamburg workers have to lower their salary in order to
keep their job. This is just an example of the general lowering of
salaries in all western countries.This is a natural result of
globalization, because globalization makes thewhole world as an entire
market. But lowering the salary means lowering the living standards.
Of course the western people complain. It's verylikely that they
believe that China is the reason why they live worse thanbefore.
Actually, the western companies in China make many serious human rightsproblems:
They force Chinese workers to work 18 hours a day, 7 days a week.
They pollute the environment in China.
They give extremely less salary to the workers, without paying any
socialinsurance.
They lower the protection of the workers, resulting many
irreversibleindustrial diseases, but the companies refuse to be
responsible for that.
Obviously, these problems are based on the greedy western capitalists,
notChina. They want to make more money, but they cause serious human
rights in China, and also cause problems in western countries. Of
course, thesegreedy capitalists won't confess that they are guilty for
that. In theirown country, they mislead the public opinion against
China.
Since they have caused a lot of human rights problems in China, this
is agood excuse to blame China.
Because of the historic and practical reasons, the western world,
fromgovernment to people, would like to criticize China, especially on
the human rights problems. Their aim of criticism is not to help
Chinese people tolive happier, but to try to make China poorer, less
stable, less efficient,less developed, less challenging, less
competent, and so on.
5. Sovereignty is the basis of human rights
The very basic human rights are the rights of survive, the right
ofdevelopment, and the right to keep his own dignity. The first line
ofgerman constitution is "The dignity of human beings is protected."
Without these very basic human rights, the other human rights are just Utopia.
In a country without its own sovereignty, the people there don't have
those very basic human rights. We see the real examples in the
history:
The US said that they wanted to bring human rights to Kosovo and Iraq.
TheUS defeated their government and controlled those areas. But in
those areas, do the inhabitants get more rights? They worry if they
will be robbed orkilled tomorrow. The US soldiers can torture man
freely, rape women freely. That is the life without sovereignty.
If these areas are so far away from us, let's see the history of
Germany in 1949-1950. An old german lady told me a story. After
Germany was defeated, the French soldiers controlled her hometown. The
germans didn't have any rights. If the French soldiers were unhappy,
they can catch any germanfreely and torture him or her, just for fun.
The French soldiers lived intheir beautiful house, and her family was
driven into the small, cold andhumid basement. She got serious
problems in all of her joints - arthritis, till now. The French
soldiers robbed her food. So her family was veryoften starved. Her
neighbor was even starved to death. No one cares. Till now, this lady
is still afraid of fireworks, because this will revoke hertragic
memory. That is the life without sovereignty.
Besides the French soldiers, the Soviet soldiers raped over 2 million
german women, according to the incomplete statistics. That is the life
withoutsovereignty.
China suffered this kind of tragedy 70 years ago. We never forget
thatmiserable history, and we don't want that this tragedy happens
again to us. We don't want to be the second Kosovo, the second Iraq,
or the secondGermany, because we don't want a life without our own
sovereignty.
Yes, you can write a long list, listing huge amount of cases that
theindividual human rights were broken in China. But this is much
better thanthe semi-colony period. At least, now we have our very
basic rights. Ourrights to survive and rights of dignity are secured
by our military force.
6. Force is everything
Basically, Chinese culture is based on agricultural culture. This
basisdetermines that China won't be an invading country; China won't
be anenemy against anyone, even when it's strong. But the western
countriesforced us to join the game of their jungle rule. Just like
Napoleon's famous sentence "China is a sleeping lion. Don't wake him
up." Thewestern countries forced us to wake up. And this lion roars.
In this world, if we come to the international affairs, we clearly see
thatthere is no virtue and morality. The only determinant is the
force. Ofcourse, this force includes military, economy and culture.
Now China isaccumulating strong force, and the other asian countries
are also developing. The Asian power is rising in the world.
The US also has many serious human rights problems. They might be just
alittle bit better than in China - if at all. Why the criticism
against American human rights problems is so less in the world,
comparing to thecriticisms against China? Very simple, because the US
is very powerful,much more powerful than any other current power in
the world. So, according to the western philosophy and history, the
best way of China to get rid ofthe criticism is that we develop our
country until we are much stronger than any western country. At that
time, it's our turn to criticize the western countries on the human
rights, and no one dares to criticize us.
Yes, we have problems. But we develop. Not like the western countries,
wedon't have colonies all over the world. We have to accumulate every
single cent by our effort. We will solve these problems, but not
immediately, not under the pressure of western countries. We will
solve these problems byourselves.
We live happily in Asia. We live happily without you western
countries. We welcome the communication with good will, of course. But
we have to keepour sovereignty, because this is the basis of all the
other human rights. We have our own culture and we have our own
standards. We don't have toaccept your standards. We have our own way
to develop. We don't have tofollow your way. The history has proven
many times: China is a very goodfriend to the friendly people, but
will be definitely a nightmare to hostility.
If you really want to do something to help China to improve the human
rights, please do three things:
1. Stop your prejudice and hostility. Throw away your arrogance.
2. Come to respect, understand and experience our culture deeply.
3. Make the US less hostile to China.
If you can't do these, you, the western countries, should better shut
up.You won't make things better. This is none of your business.
Human right is not an issue to discuss. Human right is an issue to fight for. |
