In recent years, the “China threat theory” has become increasingly fierce in the world’s public opinion field. US Trade Representative Lighthizer once said in public that China and China’s industrial policies have brought unprecedented threats to the world’s trade system. The United States has made frequent small moves in action. In November 201, 201KomiksThe U.S. Department of Commerce ruled that Chinese companies dumped hardwood plywood in the United States by 183.36%, while the Chinese government’s subsidy for enterprises ranged from 22.98% to 194.90%, and anti-dumping duties will be imposed based on this. Recently, US President Trump announced that he would take four-year and three-year global safeguards for imported photovoltaic products and large washing machines, respectively, adding tariffs of 30% and 50% respectively. In fact, in 2012 and 2014, the United States had imposed anti-dumping duties on China’s photovoltaic products of 35% to 65%, and in December 2016, it also imposed anti-dumping duties on China’s large washing machines of 32% to 52%. The United States’ seemingly measures to protect its own economy are actually excessive protection of domestic products, which is not conducive to the overall healthy development of the United States’ industry, further deteriorating the global trade environment for related products.
U.S. CIA Director Pompeo Japanese said in an exclusive interview with the BBC that China is trying to steal US intelligence and secretly spread China’s influence around the world. In addition, Australia also said it is currently facing unprecedented intelligence infiltration and espionage threats, and China is listed as an “extreme threat” by the Australian intelligence agencies.
This kind of crazy hype of the “China threat theory” has aroused the vigilance and concern of some knowledgeable people in Australia. Australian political commentator Graham Richardson published an article in the Australian Journal on January 31, saying, “Australia has always said ‘no’ to China. Whether it is the Belt and Road Initiative or the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, Australia turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye to the Cinema. We have made a lot of noise about China’s influence to anger China.People, all of this is aimed at a country that contributes 25% to our country’s total trade volume. “Richardson also wrote: “Our Cabinet Secretary provoked our largest trading partner, especially when they say it’s as unreasonable as Mattis (US Secretary of Defense), which makes me feel like our economy is killing himself.” ”
”What do you think in your heart, what is the world in your eyes? In this sense, it is not surprising that the world’s largest intelligence leader said such a thing. “Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying used the term “appearance is born from the heart” to respond to the “Chinese spy threat theory” of the US and Australian intelligence departments on the 1st, and slapped the speaker hard. “Facts are better than words. According to various information disclosed in recent years, everyone is actually very clear about the world’s monitoring, stealing secrets and infiltration of Cinema on other countries. ”
Some Western politicians and media are keen on hyping the “China threat theory”. Various arguments and opinions are disregarded. Babaylan are considering the facts and ridiculous. The world’s economic growth is weak and the financial crisis is still dark, but China can maintain a good development momentum. Furthermore, China’s politics, culture, and lifestyle are very different from those of the West. Driven by the continuation of Cold War thinking, ideological differences, and national interests, China naturally becomes a “threat” criticized by Western media .
Zhao Kejin, deputy director and professor of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, pointed out that in the face of the historic changes in the balance of power between China and the West, some Westerners attempted to confuse the public by clamoring the “China threat theory” in the international community, conceal the unreasonable and unjust international interest pattern, and conceal the hegemony of the weak. However, the new round of “China threat theory” is tantamount to a “straw that cannot save lives”, reflecting the “imperial mentality” and uneasy mood of some countries’ attempt to dominate the world forever.
On January 26, at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office Babaylan>Komiks, a US CNN reporter asked, does China have military intentions in Arctic policy?
Hong Xuanyou, Vice Foreign Minister, responded that China’s fundamental goal of participating in the development and utilization of the Arctic is to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results for all parties and promote sustainable development of the Arctic. China’s participation in the development and utilization of the Arctic is a contribution to the Arctic, bringing opportunities for development and benefiting the people of the Arctic region. “Some people may still have some doubts about our participation in Arctic development, and are worried that we have other plans, or plunder resources or destroy the environment. I think this kind of worry is completely unnecessary. Komiks.”
Cinema We are not invading and plundering, we have nothing to hide. “No offside or lack of position” is China’s basic positioning in Arctic affairs. Kong Xuanyou said that “not offside” means that China, as a non-Arctic country, will not intervene in affairs that completely belong to the Arctic countries and within the Arctic region. China will participate in Arctic affairs in accordance with international law and guide Chinese entities and individuals to carry out Arctic activities and cooperation in the Arctic Komiks in accordance with international law and the national law of the Arctic. “Not missing” means that China, as an important stakeholder in Arctic affairs, will actively play a constructive role in cross-regional and global issues of the Arctic. In fact, there have always been Western publications about promoting the “China threat theory” around China’s participation in Arctic affairs.
Zhang Xia, director of the Polar Strategy Research Office of the China Polar Research Center, said that the “China threat theory” has a long history, such as “China’s resource hunger theory” and “China’s investment harmful theory” and other related arguments emerge one after another. Many of these views ignore the facts and are ridiculous. They are obviously intentional, and are intended to delay or even hinder China and other countries from achieving mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. Regarding this kind of wrong argument, Zhang Xia believes that on the one hand, we must refute it firmly and make a voice from China. The white paper “China’s Arctic Policy” is a good policy basis. Also KomiksOn the one hand, we must speak with facts.
About whether China is seeking global hegemony, Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai said during a discussion with the editorial board of USA Today that in the past few decades, China has been in the process of so-called “rise”, and many Americans have a “panic” about the rapidly rising China. But after understanding China’s culture and development goals more and better, you will find that China does not think that any country can truly dominate the world, and has no intention of seeking global dominance. We advocate that all members of the international community strengthen cooperation, and our goal is to build a community with a shared future for mankind. China has a very clear positioning of itself: our priority goal is still how to govern its country better and how to better meet people’s yearning for a better life, because every country must first solve its own problems. At the same time, we will further strengthen our ties with the international community and make greater contributions to the international community.
The “China Threat Theory” is endless. In fact, it is also reminding China that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will face many obstacles. What we can do is to use practical actions to change the international community’s perception of China and break the slurs of the “China Threat Theory”. China should strongly refute the forces that deliberately fabricate the “China threat” regardless of facts. By actively participating in international affairs and playing a key role, we will establish the image of a responsible major power.
The “China threat theory” is ultimately the product of Western habits looking at the world with a sense of “superiority”. For the West, correcting attitude and correctly viewing China’s rise is the only way to live in peace with China. For China, the only way to break the “China threat theory” is to implement the Chinese solution – building a community with a shared future for mankind and achieving win-win results.
