Want to play yin with China?The manuscript of AFP is stupid

Author: Geng Zhi

At 2 pm Beijing time today (29th), AFP, one of the large Western news agencies, published an article on its social account, which published a demonization of China and an attempt to stir up the relationship between Mainland and Hong Kong.

However, a core logic of this article is extremely ridiculous and brainless.

As shown in the figure below, in this article entitled "Returning to 25 years, the uncertainty facing the Hong Kong economy is facing", a core logic of AFP was that when the GDP of Hong Kong was just returned to China in 1997, the GDP of Hong Kong once used to be once returned to China. It was 18%in the Mainland, and this ratio fell to less than 3%in 2020.

Not only that, AFP also made a picture in order to show more intuitively to show this Western media hoping to create a cognition of "Hong Kong is being continuously marginalized."

This contrast is obviously ridiculous and brainless. In 1997, the reform and opening up of the Mainland only carried out 20 years. Many economic reforms were in its infancy or even before, and economic potential was far from being released. It was not until the WTO that the Mainland's economic energy was released in the next 20 years. As early as 1997, Hong Kong was already a relatively mature financial city.

Therefore, Agence France -Presse has such incompetence comparison of the GDP of the two who has no comparability at all. This is obviously not a rigorous and objective report, but to create political gimmicks to meet the anti -Mainland and anti -China abroad in Hong Kong and abroad. Sound.

At present, many Chinese netizens who have seen this report have also commented on the absurdity of Agence France -Presse, or have taken out the data of more face -to -face Agence France -Presse.

Some people point out that whether in 1997 or in 2020, Hong Kong's per capita GDP ($ 27,330 and $ 46324, respectively) higher than the per capita GDP per capita of Britain in the same period before 1997 (26719.54 and 40,284.64, and the data came from the world from the world. bank).

Some people also found that even in the picture posted by Agence France -Presse, Hong Kong's GDP increased from US $ 177 billion in 1997 to US $ 346.59 billion in 2020, and Hong Kong's per capita GDP was still in the Mainland. More than 4 times. However, in order to provoke the relationship between the Mainland and Hong Kong with rhythm, AFP has completely cleared these facts. The text part of the report's text did not mention these situations.

However, in addition to criticizing the brainless Western news agency, some netizens also imitated this routine of AFP and wanted to cure their people with their own way.

As shown in the figure below, some people use the French GDP data in 1997 and 2020 to compare the GDP data of France in this way of play with the FANPEMP. It was found that France was really miserable. In 1997, France's GDP (approximately $ 1.45 trillion) was 151%of China (about $ 962 billion). 18%of trillion dollars) less than 18%.

After drawing on the idea of ​​netizens and referring to the routine of Agence France -Presse, Geng Zhi thought of a more interesting way to fight. In the World Bank system, we compared the GDP trend of the United States from 1997 to 2020 with the same period of GDP trend in the same period of France, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. In the United States, their GDP not only did not increase significantly, but instead compared with the significant increase in the United States, it seemed stagnant. The proportion of their GDP was also larger and larger during this time (as shown in the figure below).

We chose Britain and the United States separately for comparison. As a result, in 1997, British GDP (about 1.56 trillion US dollars) was nearly 20%of the US GDP (about 8.58 trillion US dollars), which was 18%. But in 2020, this proportion fell to 13%, which was constantly approaching 10%.

Then, according to the logic of Agence France -Presse, does this mean that under the world economic order led by the United States, only the United States is profitable, while the United Kingdom, France, Mexico and many other important American allies and European allies in Europe and in Europe Is it "marginalized" by neighboring countries that are directly radiated by the United States?

Editor -in -chief of Agence France -Presse, what do you say?
