U.S. fallacies on China will never sell
By Zhong Sheng
Senior
officials of the U.S. once again attacked China’s political system, as well as
the country’s domestic and foreign policies, at the recent 56th Munich Security
Conference (MSC).
Such lies
reflected their political prejudices against China, and fully exposed their
paranoia and hypocrisy. The unnerving silence at the conference hall after they
finished their speeches was sarcastic, while the refutation made by other
attendants during the Q&A session well explained with whom justice stands.
At the
MSC, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi made hypes on
China’s tech firm Huawei and 5G technology, comparing normal technology
cooperation between enterprises to export of social system, which revealed her
insanity in oppressing Chinese enterprises.
What’s
absurd is that her remarks suit perfectly the practices of her own country. The
U.S. PRISM surveillance scandal is known throughout the world. In this program
the U.S. government tracked nearly 5 billion phone calls around the world on a
daily basis, and monitored the phones of national leaders for more than 10
years. Recently, the country was once again reported to have long controlled
foreign companies and stole 120 countries’ confidential information.
Of course,
no one is going to buy such groundless rhetoric made by the U.S. – a “hacker”
who can barely conceal its hypocrisy and anxiety, and is tripped by its own practices.
The
European Union, the UK and Germany made it clear that they will not rule out
certain companies on 5G construction, and UK officials said bluntly that the
U.S. failed to offer solid evidence.
It
indicates the long-lasting disreputation of the U.S. on cyber security. The
improper remarks made by the country will never be supported no matter how hard
it tries to sell them.
At the
MSC, U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and U.S. Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo put on a ridiculous “duet”, with one fanning up the “China
threat” and the other preaching “the West is winning”.
On the one hand, they made the nonsense that China’s admission to the WTO was a
benefit offered by the U.S.; on the other hand, they claimed that China is
interfering with U.S. internal affairs. They told the meeting that the U.S.
does not seek conflict with China, but later spared no effort to start
provocation. These self-contradictory remarks were ridiculous, and only
revealed the ugliness of arrogant hegemonism.
What
effects has this “show” achieved? According to American political opinion
website The Politico, both Esper and Pompeo’s remarks to smear China at the MSC
were not recognized by most of the European Union countries. Such situation
tells that the calculations of these American politicians will never defeat
justice.
Equity and
justice shall never be absent from this world, and there will always be voices
safeguarding them.
German
President Frank-Walter Steinmeier criticized the U.S. administration at the MSC for rejecting “even the
idea of an international community.” French President Emmanuel Macron put it
clear that Europe has different expectations with the U.S.
“But even
the conference host, Wolfgang Ischinger, a veteran German diplomat, couldn’t
help but push back against the American torrent,” said an article on the
website of U.S. magazine Foreign Policy. The American Conservative noted that
“As we look back on the record of how the U.S. and our allies have behaved over
the last 30 years, respect for other nations’ sovereignty is not what we see.”
Every
country enjoys the right to independently develop, and its people enjoy the
freedom to pursue a happy life. China’s development goes with global peace and
justice, and is a natural step of the history that no force is able to stop.
The by-hook-or-by-crook practices of the U.S. will only
present China’s rapid development in a clearer image.
More and
more members of the international society are expressing discontent with the
improper remarks and practices of the U.S. High Representative of the European
Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell noted that the
recent criticisms and accusations against China from individual countries are
out of jealousy for China’s development success.
Cold War
mentality and zero-sum games, as well as the outdated political prejudices and
lies cause nothing but damage. The U.S. politicians will finally realize, in a
desolate manner, that what goes against history will never make history, and
the world will not join them in reversing the history.
Just as
what the Munich Security Report 2020 points out, some of the world’s
most important challenges cannot be solved by the West alone, and dealing with
the implications of this new era will require cooperation with countries of
different social systems.
There’s no
doubt that the international society welcomes China’s development, and expects
countries of different social systems to coexist peacefully and cooperate for
win-win results. In the face of the increasingly complex security and
development challenges, countries must seek common ground while shelving
differences and take concrete actions to build a community with a shared future
for mankind.
