On June 25, 1950, the Korean Civil War broke out. The next day, the Americans blocked the Taiwan Strait. A week later, the United States intervened in the Korean War. In September, U.S. troops landed at Incheon, and in October, U.S. troops crossed the 38th parallel and burned the flames of war to the banks of the Yalu River. At that time, it was just one year since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At this time, the Americans believed that it was impossible for New China to participate in this war. China has just finished its civil war, and there are wars in the southwest, northwest, and southeast that have not yet ended. After a century of war, China is in need of recuperation. As the victorious country in World War II, the United States was the biggest beneficiary of the victory in World War II. New China, which has just celebrated its first anniversary, has no reason to go to war with the United States, the world's first, for a small peninsula.

Americans view the Chinese with their characteristic arrogance and prejudice, they underestimate the importance that the Chinese attach to national security and territorial integrity, overestimate the Chinese's fear of war and greed for peace, and thus turn a blind eye to China's warnings.

Before the US military crossed the 38th parallel, Premier Zhou issued a notice to the United States through the Indonesian ambassador that if the US military crossed the 38th parallel, China would not sit idly by. The U.S. response has been to see China as engaging in a form of "political and diplomatic blackmail." "For countries such as Europe and the United States, which are accustomed to using political blackmail and blackmail, they arrogantly believe that China's solemn statement must also be a bluff.

As a result, on October 25, just three weeks later, in the face of the aggressive US and United Nations forces, which showed no signs of retreating, the Chinese volunteers crossed the Yalu River and fired the first shot into the Korean War, which lasted two years and nine months.

After the Korean War ended with peace talks on the return to the 38th parallel, the US Chiefs of Staff United Breed commented, "This is a wrong war fought at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and with the wrong enemy." The root cause of this mistake lies in the fact that the Americans, with their unique pride and prejudice, misread China's political propositions and demands, and ultimately suffered a heavy military and political blow.

Sixty-nine years after the outbreak of the Korean War, the belligerent nation of the United States is still waging wars everywhere, winning or getting bogged down, profiting handsomely or gaining nothing. The world is changing rapidly, and Americans are changing rapidly, but the only constant is the arrogance in their character and their prejudice against the Chinese.

Also in October, the general manager of an NBA basketball league tweeted his political views on China. His ideas are thin and weak, and he still carries with him the ignorance and arrogance that are characteristic of most Americans, and without a full understanding of the affairs and history of other countries, he comes to wave the flag and shout because of a few labels of "freedom" and "democracy" with only a single opinion.

This is an era of "freedom" in which everyone can express their ideas through social media, but it is also an era of less freedom. Americans "defend to the death" the freedoms they themselves recognize, and disdain and even offend the freedoms of other countries' cultures and systems. This kind of odious double standard has been staged again and again under the world discourse system dominated by Europe and the United States.

Notre Dame Cathedral is on fire, and the whole world will follow to pray for blessings and donations, but there are thousands of cultural relics and monuments blown up in the Middle East in the war, and thousands of cultural relics that have been burned and looted in China in modern times. Western countries have completed the primitive accumulation of capital with a hundred years of plundering and pollution, lived a good life, mastered the top layer of the world's wealth, and turned their heads to hope that the developing countries of the world will save energy and reduce emissions, and return you a beautiful earth, who really destroyed the earth? Americans have zero tolerance for racial discrimination at home, Sterling was forced to sell the team because of a private recording, and Chinese player Yao Ming came to the United States, in order to respect most black players in the NBA, he didn't even say the common word "that" anymore, just because it was similar to the pronunciation of "nigger". But when Morey points fingers at China's territorial integrity, the bottom line of the Chinese, where is your zero tolerance?

At this time, you start talking about freedom, and you start talking about the right of everyone to express their own opinions, but is it true that the more than 9 million square kilometers of land in the United States were acquired by the American people by talking about freedom? Let's say that Texas, the largest state in the United States, where Houston is located, was snatched through the Mexican-American War, are the Americans willing to give away this oil-rich fertile land independently or return it to Mexico?

We admit that in the hundreds of years of world history in modern times, Western civilization has become the mainstream. You have developed a prosperous technology and a splendid culture. The vast majority of material civilization and popular culture in modern society have developed from Western civilization. But we must also admit that your civilization and culture are largely based on the enslavement and exploitation of other civilizations and countries, especially modern China. In order to achieve the selfish aspirations and development of your civilization, our ancestors suffered from aggression and war, and after a hundred years of suffering, they were reunited and forged ahead for the continuation and prosperity of the race. How can you in the Promised Land of the United States of America, which has experienced only one Civil War in more than 200 years, be able to experience it?

There is an old saying in China, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It is precisely because of the hardships that China has endured that it has immersed itself in development, worked hard, and relied on itself after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although the road is tortuous, the future is bright after all. China's population of 1.4 billion, accounting for one-fifth of the world, does not export revolution and does not launch wars of aggression against foreign countries, on the contrary, hard-working Chinese use cheap labor to become the world's factory, providing the world with high-quality and low-cost "Made in China". However, European and American countries have taken advantage of the first-mover advantage in science and technology to create technical barriers and trade barriers, and plundered most of their wealth in the process of globalization, but they are not satisfied. With less than 5 percent of the population, the United States consumes 25 percent of the world's resources and controls 60 percent of its financial resources. Cloaked in the cloak of civilization and freedom, and with the fact of barbarism and aggression, your beauty and progress are mostly based on the hardships and backwardness of other countries.

It is ridiculous to think that such a country, a civilization, with the arrogance of centuries of rise, looks at an ancient country across the Pacific Ocean with a prejudiced eye. Most Americans' home food and clothing are made in China. In a country where so many people can work in unproductive industries such as sports and entertainment, is it true that your food, clothing, furniture, and automobiles are all conjured up by God? It's just that you have taken advantage of the first-mover advantage in science and technology to grasp the rules of operation of the world, and you have used many barriers in a vain attempt to limit China to the position of the world's factory. And the Chinese are not willing to be just the sweatshop of Westerners, we need to transform, we must develop science and technology, and we must build our beautiful Datong society. At this time, Westerners and Americans jumped out again, fearing that the rise of China would affect their good life, create all kinds of incidents, and try in vain to split China, so that China would fall into chaos and division like the Soviet Union, and finally they could lie on our corpses and absorb nutrients, just like the Qing government was divided more than a hundred years ago.

Back to that tweet from the general manager, Darryl Morey, in October. From this tweet, and the subsequent reaction of NBA commissioner Adam Silva, and others in the United States, it can be seen that 69 years later, the pride and prejudice of Americans have not changed. However, on the first anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China dared to send troops to North Korea, and now, the 70th anniversary! China has changed a generation, and a new generation of young Chinese has never forgotten the blood shed by their ancestors. My generation grew up watching Japanese anime, fell asleep listening to Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, and chased sports and cultural idols from Europe and the United States, because the beautiful humanity contained in art and sports knows no nationality or national borders. A star, a movie, a song, no matter where it comes from, as long as it is beautiful, moving, and inspiring, we will like it and love it. But this does not mean that most people will lose their minds and forget that the basis of liking and love is mutual respect. For us as a group, support for national unity and the guarantee of territorial integrity are the bottom line of this respect. Breaking through the bottom line, everything is free to talk about! Because our generation is a generation with self-respect, self-love and patriotism.

For the NBA basketball event, we are undoubtedly full of feelings, which have accompanied us through our youth and spent exciting days and nights. But in the face of the bottom line, there is no apology, no remedy, no respect and understanding, and we can only forget about each other.

As "My Motherland" sings, "When a friend comes, there is good wine, and if the jackal comes, he will be greeted with a shotgun." ”

This is the attitude of us Chinese.
