I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those
years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they
sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times,
in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher
Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but
he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the
18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another.
When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they
wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The
only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty,
when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan
concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although
being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire.
Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to
dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the
British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea
and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports
were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the
Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to
the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the
opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s
biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from
Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium.
After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really
greedy. The British wanted the Qing government:
1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and
tax free.
2. Make opium legal in China.
Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French, with
supports from the US and Russia from behind, started Opium War II with China
, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer
Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government
was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of
silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely
through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the
treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor.
In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance(Japan, Russia,
Britain, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese
civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed &
women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in
museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris.
In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of
Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre
alone.
Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and
unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from
famine and power struggles.
Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story.
His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This
thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs
in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified
the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+
Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it
propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been
arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to
China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one
to gain from.
In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty
. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the
biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the
world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a
fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest
technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a
technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless
payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The
Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest
countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached
an unprecedented height.
For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it.
China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western
Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China.
Everything China does is negatively reported.
They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple
was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit,
leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor.
They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they
accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is
the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US.
They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China
has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the
ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han
only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university
intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has
about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US.
When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices:
1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists.
2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb
their homes.
China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the
US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky.
During the pandemic,
When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused
of being inhuman.
When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were
accused of lying about the actual numbers.
When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to
other countries, they were accused of politically motivated.
Western Media always have reasons to bash China.
Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which
do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well
. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like
Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to
change the government, because the current one is too good.
Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the
opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-
Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for
Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t
crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British
colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British.
Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British
citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used
in Color Revolutions around the world.
They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning
Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit
always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a
luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables
and you haven’t bought any of my cars?
When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let
it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like
Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese
products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the
Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making
socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down.
The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background.
When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades,
Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and
now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The
only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the
only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an
agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the
petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall.
Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will
soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go
off like mad.
China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not buy looting the world.
I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy
for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong.
Good luck China. | S*****n

不同意这种说法. 他对中国改朝换代的历史了解不多. |
