Take this out of China and Russia, the Western defeat

India's "First Post" September 2nd article, the original title: how many people in China, Russia will feel safe and happy

According to the recent annual polls, India has replaced Kazakhstan as the third place in Russia's most friendly country. The first two are the same as before, China 55%, Belarus 49%. China ranks first for many years. China has become the favorite of Russians, which is impressive in all global diplomatic relations. The public's attitude has its own laws and is often not affected by any publicity.

Once upon a time, any form of Sino -Russian alliances will make the West (still so). The West also tried to use a wonderful idea -there are too many Chinese people in our border -to bomb the minds of the Russians.

This is the theory of population pressure. When there are too many people who are not too rich living nearby, you do n’t have enough population to use your own land, people nearby will go through the border to capture your land. At first, some people in the Russian Far East really believed this argument. But the author knows its source: Around 1900, this was used to scare the Philippines. In the past century, this old theory was pushed to the Russian people, but it failed tragically. Nowadays, few people believe that the Chinese are raising Siberia's land. Most people think that China is a friend, the Chinese are hardworking, turning a region that was hungry and suffering into a superpower, so it is worthy of respect.

At the same time, the United States began to be afraid of Asians. There are two perspectives in the United States. It is said that because the Chinese population will reach its peak in 2022, it will continue to shrink, so there is nothing to worry about. Not long ago, we also heard this kind of words: "Chinese will be rivals or replace English to become global languages, Beijing will become the political capital of the world ..." Well, now it has passed. The pessimistic faction believes that China's population is less. China needs to ensure overseas resources and power to support population aging. People in the developed areas will provide labor forces for Chinese enterprises. The profits of these enterprises will be taxed or shared with the government to maintain domestic expenses and expansion ... These sensational remarks come from the Washington Post.

Population threat theory was once popular. Russia is really worried that the population of its country will decrease. But this is not because some people are afraid that there are too many Chinese people across the border.
