  • Why is the West keep asking China to apologise?

    This article will talk about two recent incidents that reflect the morality of the West and China and seek to answer why the West keeps demonising China.

    One is that the BBC has asked ordinary Chinese for interviews. It stands to reason that China has defeated the epidemic and its economy has recovered. But the BBC’s focus is obviously not this kind of positive news on China. Through the interviews, they spread the message that China should apologize. 

    At the end of the article: it says “But for some people, there is still a lot of uncertainty in the future. Interviewee A is worried about how she and her friends will be treated after going abroad. Interviewee B said there is a way to ease this anxiety, that is to say sorry for what happened.”

     To be honest, why do Westerners cling to the hope that China will apologize?

    Why always put China in an immoral position in public opinion?

    Is it because China spread the disease to other countries?

    If this logic holds true, in 2016, the Zika virus spreaded wildly before the Rio Olympics causing panic among athletes. Did anyone ask Brazil to apologise?

    The first case of AIDS in China was an American Argentine, and the main transmission came from Thailand. The first confirmed MERS patient was a Korean, and the first confirmed H1N1 patient in China was a returnee from the United States. So do the United States, South Korea, and Thailand need to apologize to China?

    China is clearly a victim of COVID19. Why does it need to apologize?

    In contrast, the 2008 world financial crisis was caused by the subprime mortgage crisis brought out by the United States. This is a real man-made disaster. So should the United States apologize and pay compensation?

    China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don’t be. China’s rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years.

  • Top 10 Chinese Technology Breakthrough in 2020

    2020 is about to pass. This year, the United States imposed stricter sanctions and blockades on China in high-tech and high-end manufacturing industries. More than 300 Chinese institutions, universities, and enterprises were sanctioned by the United States. It uses the power of the whole country to crack down on China's core enterprises, key technologies and major projects. Under the severe sanctions, blockades and crackdowns imposed by the United States, what happened to China's high-tech and high-end manufacturing industries? Have they been beaten down by the United States? Facts have proved that China not only has not been beaten down, but has also caught up with or even surpassed the United States at a more rapid rate, and made major breakthroughs in the following top ten high-tech fields in 2020.

    1. "Silicon-Graphene-Germanium Transistor" was successfully developed.
    2. The domestically produced scramjet engine achieved a duration of 600 seconds, breaking the world record.
    3. Beidou navigation system completed satellite networking.
    4. China's Mars probe "Tianwen-1" launched
    5. The successful first flight of the independently developed amphibious aircraft "Kunlong" AG600 
    6. The "Struggle" manned submersible dived to a depth of 10,909 meters.
    7. Chang'e-5 completed the "digging" on the moon and took off. 
    8. The world's first Hualong No. 1 reactor was successfully connected to the grid. 
    9. China's quantum computing prototype "Nine Chapters" came out
    10. A major breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology! The first discharge of China's new generation of "artificial sun"

  • Why can’t China please the West?

    What can’t China please the West?

    There is a very popular saying among western netizens and media: China is now on the offensive everywhere, and you have no friends, you will destroy yourself.

    I believe that many people in China also have doubts about this: China today has many frictions and conflicts with Western countries headed by the United States. It is tit-for-tat on various issues such as Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Taiwan and South China Sea. Will this cause China to be isolated in the world?

    I would like to ask everyone to think about it. In all the current diplomatic disputes with China, which one was initiated by China? From Hong Kong, Xinjiang, to the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, Western countries headed by the United States have imposed ideological and geopolitical disputes on China and the Chinese people. What China has done is nothing more than responding to the threats.

    Is it wrong for China to defend its sovereignty, security, and core development interests on these key issues?

    Is it true that China is the only good international citizen in the eyes of Westerners, only if China swallows its pride and is at the mercy of others?

    We must understand the nature of the conflict between China and the West.

    China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don’t be. China’s rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years.

  • When will the world embrace communism?

    Today, I plan to talk about something interesting with you.

    Have you considered this question? As robotics becomes more advanced and artificial intelligence becomes more and more advanced, will ordinary people have any meaning in the future?

    Today, new robots are very expensive, but as long as the technology has improved to a certain level, the manufacturing cost of the robot can be very low, just like cars a hundred years ago versus cars today.

    If one day in the future, we can manufacture robots at a very low cost, such as US$10,000 each, and robots have high intelligence and can replace most humans in doing most of the work, what should we do?

    Robots can do housework, can be waiters, workers, even engineers and doctors, and they can work 24 hours a day without sleep.

    Since the knowledge carrying capacity of robots is infinite, intelligent robots are all top medical experts, and they are general practitioners. They can tackle all diseases.

    What else can ordinary people do, where else can they find work?

    What's more frightening is that robots can make more robots themselves.

    Every robot has all the knowledge of the human world, and can also engage in any job. It can be a construction worker or a power station designer, and it can also build a new robot factory by itself.

  • What lessons does the assassination of Iranian scientist teach us?

    On the afternoon of November 27, in broad daylight, the Iranian senior nuclear physicist Muhsin Fakrizad was assassinated near the capital Tehran.

    The outside world generally believes that the assassination of Fakrizad was carried out by Israel supported by the United States and Saudi Arabia, with the purpose of undermining the development process of Iran's nuclear program.

    On January 3, 2020, Soleimani, commander of the Al-Quds Brigade of the Islamic Republic of Iran's elite force, was assassinated by the United States in Iraq.

    It can be said that in 2020, the United States has used its powerful hegemony to slap the Iranian people with two loud slaps.

    When a country is closed and backward, it will become a fish on the cutting board of a powerful country. This is the cruel truth that China has learned time and time again in more than 100 years of modern history. Even in the 21st century, the law of the jungle of international relations has not changed much.

    China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process.

  • Why no one else can criticise the West?

    Why no one else can criticise the West?

    The news about the Australian Prime Minister Morrison asking China to apologize because the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson uploaded a picture on Twitter continues. This picture was hand-painted by the Chinese artist, reflecting the Australian soldiers’ massacre of civilians in Afghanistan. Morrison said, "It was a fake photo and a terrible insult to our troops."

    In fact, this is not a photo, but a painting. The artist that created the painting has released another one as shown in the cover image of this episode. 

    The imagery of the new picture is also very direct: a group of western reporters surround and take pictures of the artist, hoping to frame his words and deeds. At the same time, Morrison covered piles of corpses with the Australian national flag while pointing finger at the artist, asking him to apologize. And behind all of them, the brutal massacre of civilians is still going on.

    The problem was exposed, instead of solving the problem, they accused the person who pointed out the problem. This painting just shows the bloody reality.

    According to a report issued by the Office of the Inspector General of the Australian Defence Forces on November 19, the Australian Army slaughtered at least 39 Afghan civilians, including young soldiers shooting prisoners at the command of the commander to complete the first shooting training. Special Forces killed two 14-year-old boys and slit their throats, shot a 35-year-old father and his 6-year-old son who were sleeping in the house, and shot and killed prisoners claiming there was a lack of space in a helicopter.

    Therefore, the carnage reflected in this painting is indeed a fact, not a fabricated one.

    But what interests me is the reporting behavior of the Western media. We can take the BBC as an example. In fact, after the release of the army report in Australia, the BBC reported the facts of the Australian army massacre and said it was a war crime.

  • Who can’t condemn Australian war crimes?

    Not only does China cannot condemn war crimes committed by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan, the Australian Prime Minister Morrison actually asked China to formally apologize. 

    The reason is ridiculous! What is going on here?

    According to Australian Sky News, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison asked China to formally apologize on the grounds that the Chinese side "published and forged a propaganda picture of an Australian soldier who had cut a boy’s throat."

    This is how it happened. On November 30, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson urged Australia to investigate the recent war crimes allegations and quoted the artist’s caricature in a tweet in which an Australian soldier held a knife against a child’s throat with the text "Don't be afraid, we are coming to bring you peace."

    Morrison was very dissatisfied with this. He said at the press conference: "This is totally outrageous, and it is untenable on any basis... The Chinese government should feel ashamed that this post is published. This degrades China’s image in the eyes of the world." He also said that countries around the world are paying attention to how Beijing responds to the tensions in Australia-China relations.

    Regarding Australian Prime Minister Morrison’s accusation against China, anyone who knows the truth will think that Morrison is really shameless!

    Why do I say that?

    Because what China asked Australia to investigate was an incident exposed by the Western media a few days ago. The video disclosed by the Western media showed that Australian soldiers used Afghan civilians as targets for "killing practice" in Afghanistan.

    In the exposed video, Australian soldiers directly shot and killed innocent Afghan civilians for no reason. The commander of the Australian Defence Force also publicly admitted to 20 to 30 similar incidents.  Two of the victims were only 14 years old, and their throats were cut with a dagger and their bodies were thrown into the river. Moreover, judging from the proficiency of Australian soldiers in shooting and killing, the numbers are probably far more than what they have admitted so far .

    Australian soldiers conduct open killing training in Afghanistan. Isn't this bloody reality worse than the caricature quoted in the tweet? Australian soldiers were sent to Afghanistan by the Australian government. Isn't the Australian government responsible for this? Is it wrong for China to condemn this killing of innocent civilians?

    It is heinous that, as the Prime Minister of Australia, Morrison not only did not feel ashamed for the war crimes committed by his own country’s soldiers, not only did he not apologize for it and conduct a thorough investigation, but he asked the Chinese who condemned the tweet to apologize. What is the logic? It is so unreasonable and totally absurd.

    China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don’t be. China’s rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years.

  • What is CPTPP? Why does China want to join?

    To be honest, I have never seen China make such an extraordinary move. It is simply not playing cards according to common sense. On November 20, China made it clear at the APEC informal summit that it is actively considering joining the CPTPP. This "ace" played by China has indeed had a great impact on the Asia-Pacific region.

    Let's briefly introduce the context.

    The full name of CPTPP is Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. It was formerly the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), an anti-China free trade organization established by the United States. 

    The United States, Japan, Canada and other twelve countries reached the TPP agreement in October 2015. Although it did not expressly prohibit China from joining the TPP, many of the terms were designed specifically to bar China from joining.

    So the effect of China’s joining CPTPP can be said as hitting three birds with one stone: 

    First bird: Join a potential anti-China economic organization before the return of the United States. Even if Biden wants to engage in a democratic values ​​alliance against China it would not succeed due to economic constraints. Otherwise, why does Japan want China to take the lead in joining RCEP.

    The second bird: Regardless of whether China's accession can take place, as long as this attitude is expressed, it will undoubtedly raise the cost of negotiations for the re-entry of the United States. Against the backdrop of rising domestic populism, can the Biden administration afford the price?

    If it wants to pay that price, it is ok, anyway, the dominant power is on China’s side. According to the consensus decision making mechanism, as long as one side does not agree, the USA cannot join. China, Japan, and other countries can force the United States to spit out all the advantages it previously took, leaving the United States sliding deeper into an abyss of internal conflict amid stronger populist opposition.

    The third bird: if it cannot afford to play that price? That's even better! On the Asian side, in RCEP, APEC, and CPTPP, China will participate and dominate the whole process. On the European side, the CAI China-Europe Comprehensive Investment Agreement is expected to be reached within this year. Eurasia will form a larger-scale closed loop of internal circulation. Guess who will be decoupled in the end? The Americans!

    China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don’t be. China’s rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years.

  • New world situation under Biden

    Before we begin, I want to say that the content of this episode is based on a theory. I surely do not have inside information on how the American political systems truly work behind the scene nor whether it is ultimately controlled by secretive financiers. But many of the analyses make a lot of sense. To the very least, I hope this is an enjoyable story for you.

    Without further ado, let’s talk about the US election and the new world situation, this is indeed a very large issue.

    Let's talk about the general election first, and then talk about the impact this election may have on the world structure.

    The first question is what is the nature of the US presidential election. I don’t know if you have ever thought about this issue. Why does the United States have general elections, why do they change presidents frequently, and what is the nature of the US presidency?

    This background knowledge is more critical, let me explain.

    The USA is actually like a company, under the command and control of its boss. The boss hires a general manager every four years. Have you seen that a company chooses or elect its boss? Of course not. Because the ownership of the company is hereditary, it passes on from parents to their children. Only the general managers come and go.

    If you think of a country as a company and the world government as a company, the same is true. So, knowing this, we can easily understand one thing, the President of the United States, to put it bluntly, is just a senior manager.

    The President of the United States is not the most powerful person in the world. He is just standing at the front desk as the general manager. The boss behind the scene is the most powerful person or people in the United States. And this boss with the highest authority is invisible to the public.

    Those that can be replaced and those that can be elected are essentially employees of the company.

    China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don’t be. China’s rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years. Embrace the change and seize the opportunity.
