"My generation of Chinese people have looked up at the United States." Wang Wen recalled that when he was in college in northwestern China in the late 1990s, he listened to the United States radio, practice English, and followed the United States and the world news every day. Whenever there are visiting American professors on the campus, the students will rush to the lecture hall. He said: "That is a exciting time, and China is trying to get rid of closedness and poverty. When we look forward to the future, we will admire the concept of democracy and market economy in the United States. Life has indeed changed a lot, although the Chinese cannot fully accept American roads. "

In the minds of Chinese people, when did the United States lose their original light from when? Wang Wen believes that after many years of witnessing overseas war, reckless economic policies, and meaningless party disputes in the United States -eventually leading to such a bad farce like the US Congress Mountain Incident last year, ordinary Chinese like him "almost" almost It is no longer possible to distinguish the shiny lighthouse in the United States. "

Wang Wen quoted a series of major historical events, explaining how the United States "stepped down the altar" step by step.

In 1999, the NATO troops led by the United States bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the Kosovo war. The three were killed during the attack and 20 were injured. Two years later, an American spy plane collided over the South China Sea with a Chinese fighter, causing a Chinese pilot to die. These incidents are relatively "small things" in the eyes of the United States, but they are shocked and angry.

Since entering the 21st century, more and more Chinese have witnessed the Iraqi Massacre of the United States through the media such as television and other media. In 2008, the US subprime losses caused a global financial crisis, and China had to fully carry out defense measures. Subsequently, Obama announced the first round of plans for selling weapons to Taiwan, claiming to "return to Asia", but it was essentially to combine the surrounding neighboring countries to fight against China. Trump launched a destructive trade war.

Not long ago, the American speakers Pelosi visited Taiwan, making many Chinese more angry, and regarded the move as the United States' intervention in Chinese sovereignty. The article said: "The Americans who criticize China must understand that the consequences of these American behaviors in China must not be what the United States wants."

Wang Wen said that although the U.S. government has always wanted to let China take the road of American liberalism, compared with his time when he went to college, the research tone of the Chinese academic community on the United States has shifted from imitation to vigilance. In the past, Chinese government departments also counted on China on the benefits of the US capital market and other economic concepts; now, they are more focused on discussing American lessons, such as factors that lead to the financial crisis. Chinese students still want to go to the United States to study, but they are afraid of the violence and anti -Asian attacks in the United States, or they are labeled with the "spy" label. Before they went abroad, they had been admitted: Don't leave the campus, pay attention to words and deeds, and stay away from disputes. "We once wanted to learn from the success of the United States. Now, we hope to learn how to avoid errors from the United States. The impression of the United States as the world's dangerous power has also penetrated into the minds of the Chinese public."

The article pointed out: "What needs to be clear is that China also needs to change. China needs to talk to the United States more openly to avoid slowing the pace of reform with the pretext of American issues, and respond to the United States more calmly and constructive in response to issues such as trade policies and human rights. Criticism. "The Chinese criticism of the United States does not want to be gloating to the current dilemma of the United States. A strong, good operation and responsible United States are beneficial to the world. There are still many places that Chinese people need to learn from the United States, and there are many things in common in China and the United States. The Chinese drove Ford and Tesla produced in China, washing their hair with Procter & Gamble, and drinking coffee in Starbucks.

"Solving the biggest problems on this planet still requires joint efforts to work together. But this does not mean that China must follow the United States to fall into the cliff." Wang Wen wrote in the end of the article.
