Hong Kong has been broadcasting the Oscar ceremony in Hollywood since 1969, for 52 years without interruption; however, in the current political climate, TVB, which has bought the broadcasting rights every year, admits that it will not broadcast the Oscars because of “commercial decisions”. Under the current political climate, TVB, which buys the broadcast rights every year, admitted that it would not broadcast the Oscars because of “commercial decisions.
The Chinese Communist Party claims to “improve” Hong Kong’s “one country, two systems” while at the same Time saying that “one country, two systems” has not changed; and the so-called 50-year unchanged has not even dared to mention it so far. –When too many lies are told, no one will believe even the truth anymore. The credibility of the Hong Kong Communist Party so far is like the story of “crying wolf”. Whether it is true or false, everyone will treat it as a lie, and in the end, it is the government itself that is hurt.
Recently, this double-standard way of thinking has become the norm; for example, if foreign countries do not buy Chinese goods, it is political interference in business, and others should separate politics from business activities, and politics from sports activities; but on the other hand, when the Chinese strike to buy, it is called “patriotic”, that is “The Chinese soccer team should boycott the U.S. sportswear because of the Xinjiang cotton issue; in turn, foreign countries should not boycott China’s Winter Olympics because of the Xinjiang issue? Should sports be separated from politics, or is sports politics? Ah, it’s really messy!
It’s like the Xinjiang cotton issue, why do others have to buy it? If people in other countries refuse to buy cotton from Xinjiang, so the Chinese have to stop buying other people’s goods, what about China’s tariffs on Australia, or China’s pineapples (pineapples in Taiwan)? Does everyone else have to buy Chinese goods across the board?
Nowadays, for Chinese nationalists, others buy Chinese goods, is to get the “flat buy” “favor”; then threaten to cut off the other party’s supply, the other party will cry up; others do not buy Chinese goods, so we have to declare a full-scale war, to fully terminate relations with the other party and trade. So for others to buy Chinese goods is to accept China’s favor; not to buy Chinese goods is to accept the broken relationship and China’s constraints, so the easiest and most effective way is to never buy Chinese goods, to move the supply chain away from China, to “fully disconnect” from China; and then, in the words of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, this is “impractical” approach, so do others really have a choice?
In the past, many internationally renowned brands, or political figures in Europe and the United States, turned a blind eye to what the Chinese government was doing, and the real reason was to pretend to be unaware of it. The result is that the louder the pro-China camp shouts, the faster the other side withdraws its capital.
“Better to be known than to be seen” – in the past, these issues were handled in a low profile, many people chose to “muffle”, so the protest or influence is limited; now Under the “War Wolf diplomacy”, what is to be elevated to a state-to-state dispute, with full retaliation as the basic principle, then others also can not step down, a total regression in relations and even destruction, is inevitable.
China is indeed very strong, but to become the world’s dominant hegemon, to make the world’s democratic and free countries submit to it, this is to overestimate its own strength, and even underestimate the will of the global democratic and free countries, the result is inevitably, the more you say not to engage in a new cold war, but you further contribute to the new cold war – without war wolf diplomacy, the new cold war can not be done. Without the diplomacy of war wolves, the new cold war cannot be started at all.
