China Explained

The Beijing Winter Olympics was originally a global sports event, but in the context of unprecedented changes in a century, it has been given more political and diplomatic significance. In recent years, the United States has stepped up its containment of China. First, there is a trade war, then a technology war, and there may be a financial war in the future. After the United States played the South China Sea card, then the Hong Kong card, and then the Xinjiang card, and the Taiwan card even more. I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

On February 4, 2022, Putin was invited to visit China and attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics.China and Russia issued a joint statement and signed a large number of cooperation agreements in various fields.The background of the joint statement is very complicated. The most important factor is that the hegemonic style of the United States is too arrogant and completely unscrupulous, and it does not pay attention to major countries like China and Russia at all.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

February 8 is a special moment for "sports fans" in both China and the United States.Eileen Gu made history on this day, winning the women's freestyle ski jumping championship at the Beijing Winter Olympics.Her mother was born in Shanghai and grew up in Beijing. About 30 years ago, she immigrated to the United States, married an American, and gave birth to Gu. Later, the marriage broke down, and she brought Gu up alone.Gu not only showed her talent in skiing, she is also a piano master. Her SAT is almost perfect. After the Winter Olympics, she will enter Stanford University, a famous American Ivy League university.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

After watching the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, I felt that it showed the self-confidence of a big country.The opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics gave people the feeling of shock. Everything seemed so grand and so intense. I think that at that time, it was precisely because of a lack of inner self-confidence that China was eager to prove and show something to the world. It wanted to let the world feel the splendor of Chinese civilization and touch the profoundness of Chinese culture through an opening ceremony. However, after more than ten years, you will be surprised to find that China has become more confident, and China does not need to prove anything to anyone. Whether you believe it or not, Chinese culture is still brilliant. Whether you believe it or not, the Chinese nation is still great.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

America is increasingly hostile towards China and one of ultimate weapons in America’s arsenal is to kick China out of SWIFT, the America controlled international intermediary and executor of financial transactions between banks worldwide. In recent years, from Trump to American Congressman, there are occasional talk of kicking China out of SWIFT, in order to decouple US from China and stop China from trading internationally.If this weapon is so powerful, why is China still not being kicked out? Before I answer this question, allow me to share some statistics and background information. I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

Since China's Belt and Road may be damaged in the west, it must win it back in the east. If the Ukrainian card in the west disappears, China will confiscate the Taiwan card in the east. Otherwise, the United States will concentrate on the Eastern Front.From this point of view, the Ukraine crisis will be a historical opportunity for China to solve the Taiwan issue. This opportunity is fleeting and will never come again. To be specific, the most recent sensitive time point is around the Winter Olympics.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

In 2021, despite various pressures, China’s annual GDP growth rate is 8.1%, the highest growth in recent years with an average growth of 5.1% in two years.No country in the world today can match this data. In the face of the epidemic, the United States only achieved an average growth of 1.5% in two years, and China's growth in these two years was more than three times that of the United States. But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that China has become the first choice for foreign investment in the world in the past two years, and China has surpassed the United States in the use of foreign investment. China's GDP rose from 65% of the US GDP to 80% in just two years' time.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

When the pandemic really appeared, those "top" countries with the most complete medical resources and the most advanced medical equipment, the more beautiful rankings they had on paper, the more they were defeated, especially by Delta and the highly contagious mutant strains such Omicron. These Western powers with the highest scores shouted "coexist with the virus" one by one.This makes China, which has a mid-range score but has zero tolerance toward COVID seems to stand out from the crowd.Of course, standing out in this world often means you get targeted. .Western media have launched all kinds of maddening attacks on China's "zero policy on COVID, which are cynical and sarcastic from various angles.For example, recently, a new wave of offensive has begun.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

In November 2021, despite China's strong opposition, Lithuania insisted on allowing Taiwan to open a "Taiwan Office in Lithuania".At that time, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a warning that "Lithuania will definitely pay the price" for violating the one China policy and harming China’s core interest.Just two months later, under China's all-round diplomatic, political and economic pressure, Lithuania gradually felt "pain", and Lithuania's domestic opposition, business people, and even some media in Germany, the largest economy in the EU, have criticized Lithuania's "rash advance" on the Taiwan issue.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

China's immediate neighbor, Kazakhstan, where riots broke out, once again pushed the word "color revolution" to the face of ordinary Chinese.As far as the situation in Kazakhstan is concerned, what can be confirmed at present is:The situation should not get out of control. There is a strong response from the Kazakh government inside and the intervention of the CSTO peacekeeping force outside. Most experts believe that the situation in Kazakhstan is not out of control. There is a high probability that it will gradually stabilize;The riots in some cities in Kazakhstan have not yet caused an impact on China's "Belt and Road" initiative and China-Kazakhstan energy cooperation.I am more concerned about:1) What is the essence of the "color revolution"?2) What kind of countries are prone to "color revolutions"?3) How to prevent "color revolutions"?I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

Why is the world currently dominated by the United States close to collapse, and what caused the inner roots of the disintegration of the old world? What are the consequences of a fundamentally wrong US strategic direction?The current world pattern, whether it is in Europe, the contradiction between Russia and NATO, or the many hot spots in the Middle East or even the coast of East Asia, it can be said that the reason why there are so many conflicts and chaos in the world is that the United States is the scourge of the world.The current United States has clearly entered a situation of irreconcilable domestic and foreign difficulties.Internally, it has no way to balance the interests of different domestic interest groups. In other words, it can't do a self revolution . Externally, it seems to have reached the limit of expansion.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

Europe is the foundation of American diplomacy. If the United States loses control of Europe, its hegemony will come to an end. Not only cannot the United States allow Europe to fall to China and Russia, it also does not allow Europe to become independent.One way that the United States controls Europe is the theory of pig raising, which is to say to the pigs that there is a fierce bear outside the pigpen. It is best to scare the pigs to trembling so that pigs can be raised easily.This is why the United States always plays up the Russian threat. Only by stigmatizing Russia and by constantly stimulating regional tensions will European countries rely more on the United States, and the United States will have a reason to station troops in Europe.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

From December 9th to 10th, 2021, the US government convened the so-called Democracy Summit. But this "democracy summit" was really shabby, with the sloppy process, the crude form, and the dismal results.The United States held this "Democracy Summit" with a very clear purpose, which is to demonstrate its role as a global "beacon of freedom and democracy" while suppressing Russia and China. But what is the actual situation? The answer is "very bleak".Under the epidemic situation, this summit was held online. More than 100 participants each delivered a few minutes of speeches. Most of the videos were recorded in advance. For the participants, there was no sense of participation. I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

China has zero tolerance for drug crimes, but many countries have chosen to give up. Recently, New York state has done something astonishing , and the first batch of four official overdose prevention centers were established.In other words, these are official drug abuse sites, or the "house of addicts", so that drug addicts will no longer be in danger when they take drugs.Not only is the window clear and clean, safe and hygienic, drug addicts can also enjoy the enthusiastic guidance and caring care of professional doctors, and then they can let themselves "enjoy" drugs.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

On November 3, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milly, admitted in a speech at the Aspen Security Forum that the era of US dominance may be over. "We are entering a three-polar world. The United States, Russia, and China are all big countries.Comparing the military capabilities of China and America is a very popular topic on the internet.

Biden's Democracy Summit will be held soon.Among the guests are Iraq, India and Ukraine, as well as Taiwan Province of China. In order not to be laughed at during the meeting, Twitter blocked thousands of accounts that refused to speak ill of China...The United States' push for so-called universal values ​​has brought division and turmoil to the world. The United States can't even solve its own problems. Can American pills cure the diseases of all countries in the world?In other words, China uses the Belt and Road Initiative to connect the world, and the United States associates the world with illusory democracy.Under the influence of the United States, the European Union has a new plan to deal with China.I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China. The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

There are many misunderstandings on the role of Chinese civilization in the development of human history. Historically, Chinese have said no to the so-called "clash of civilizations" and see the beauty of each civilization. Historically, Western civilization is not from the West and borrowed a lot of elements from Chinese civilization, which led to the rise of the West. The same is true today. Different civilizations should promote mutual learning. Chinese civilization has also borrowed many elements from other civilizations, including Western civilization, and that's why we have China's comprehensive rise today.History tells us that pursuing the superiority of one's own people and culture causes great tragedies to humankind. I strongly believe that treating each other with respect and as equals; appreciating the beauty of all civilizations and adhering to openness, inclusiveness, and mutual learning are essential . In 2019, President Xi's visit to France, French President Emmanuel Macron presented a gift to the President. A book which was published in France in the late 17th century, the "An Introduction to the Analects of Confucius ", the original version in French.
