Chapter 401 The Arrogant West
Xiao Peng agreed with Chen Zetao's statement.
It was only when Xiao Peng went abroad that he discovered a problem: the earth was actually shaped by the Western empire according to its own ideas.
For example, if he goes to Eastern Europe including Central Asia, he can travel freely if he knows Russian; if he goes to Africa, half of the countries there still use French as the official language; and South America is dominated by Spanish; the rest of the world is mainly English and European native language areas. Except for Asia and the Arab region, all countries in the world are deeply influenced by Western countries.
In fact, many Asian countries are also deeply influenced by the West. For example, India, if their government did not have English, it would not be able to issue even a document to order the whole country. They have 1,652 languages and dialects in their country, 33 of which are spoken by more than one million people, and the official language including English makes a total of 23. Can they do without English?
The Western empire uses this model to control most countries in the world, from language to thinking patterns.
Why is the West so unhappy with China? It's because the Chinese are too opinionated, too ambitious, and yet too disobedient to follow their rules. They believe this inherent diligence will leave them jobless. Hence, they resort to various smear campaigns against China.
This actually has nothing to do with the national system; it's just an excuse. Over a hundred years ago, Chinese workers built a railway line that ran through the American artery. What political parties were there then? The first thing Americans did was not to thank the Chinese workers for their hard work, but to rush in and pass the Chinese Exclusion Act.
In order to make their influence more far-reaching, Western countries such as the United States, Britain, and France often station troops in other countries. The key is that these Western soldiers are not as disciplined as Chinese soldiers.
Bellucci, an Italian, has complained repeatedly about the presence of American troops in Vicenza, Italy. The Americans there often get drunk and assault locals, to the point where local officials are warning young women to be wary of unwanted pregnancies. This situation is similar to that of her two Chinese neighbors.
Why are Americans so targeted now? Because in their national vision, they must be the strongest and most violent on the planet, and they must also be the richest. Their soldiers consider themselves a cross between Rambo and Eastwood from Hollywood films. Wherever they go, the most beautiful women in the land will throw themselves at them, just like superheroes in movies. Wherever these Western countries have troops stationed, the local sex industry is bound to flourish.
But they cannot accept China’s resistance consciousness.
In France, television shows about foreign countries always depict how poor and backward they are, how desperately they long for salvation from the French, and how everyone welcomes the French with open arms. The films and television series about China here tend to focus on films from half a century ago. The films you see here are mostly Zhang Yimou-style.
For Westerners, the ideal national leader should be like India's Gandhi, who neither resists nor uses violence. This ensures that they can continue to maintain their monopoly on force, even if they need to use force for self-defense.
The Chinese people's rebellious spirit is unacceptable to the West, but China is not Libya or Syria. If it were the latter, they would have rolled up their sleeves and flexed their muscles long ago. China is not so easily bullied, so they can only satisfy their desire with rhetoric, using their propaganda machine to position China as the "bad guy." In their eyes, every Chinese person in the West becomes "evidence" that China is not good.
Many Westerners inherently look down on Easterners. Of course, if they have money, the situation is completely different.
Just like when Xiao Peng went to that charity concert, it was obvious that only those who could go there were well-known and wealthy people. But at the door, Xiao Peng was still provoked by that idiot named Guillaume. But after knowing his wealth, Guillaume changed his attitude.
Most Westerners are arrogant like this.
Of course, China has almost knocked developed countries unconscious with a few blows in recent years.
China now has a nickname called "the profit crusher of developed countries". No matter what the West can do, as long as China can handle it, they will have no place to make a living.
Take caviar, for example. China began mass-producing caviar in 2014, and today, the price of caviar in the West has plummeted from 850,000 yuan per ton to 350,000 yuan per ton. It's ridiculous that many so-called upper-class Westerners still use caviar as a symbol of "Versailles literature"...
China is now known as an "infrastructure maniac," and infrastructure construction is inseparable from shield machines. Once, these machines were only produced in Europe, America, and other island nations, costing hundreds of millions of US dollars each. Now, however, China's shield machines, costing tens of millions of RMB each, have captured two-thirds of the global market.
The same goes for LCD screens. Even ten years ago, an LCD TV would cost tens of thousands of yuan. Now, a 40- to 50-inch LCD TV costs only two or three thousand yuan. The reason is that China has mastered LCD screen technology.
Take Xiao Peng's ship and its equipment, for example. If purchased in the West, the entire ship and its equipment would cost at least €10 billion or €800 million. But in China? It could be purchased for €100 million, with some left over. Breaking the Western technological monopoly means that anything will be cheaper in Chinese hands.
For ordinary people around the world, the Chinese are benefiting the world because they can buy better products and improve their lives with less money. But for Western capitalists, this is undoubtedly a disaster. Western countries are controlled by these capitalists. How can they possibly accept this reality?
Aren't you destroying our jobs?
Therefore, in the eyes of Western media and a large number of people, the Chinese are the "bad guys" who are hindering their dominance of the world. The media has now reached the point of "hysteria". All kinds of incompetence, rage and double standards.
Watching Hollywood movies before, the villains were almost always Russians. Every day, it was the Russians who wanted to destroy the entire world. According to the current development trend, the Chinese will soon be able to "share this honor."
Didn't you see that Marvel's Shang-Chi introduced the "Mandarin"? Don't they know what "Fu Manchu" stands for?
Regarding this, Xiao Peng can only say: Sir, times have changed!
"Brother Xiao, that Quater-Boll is the next target, but things can't be done too quickly in succession, do you understand what I mean?" Chen Zetao said.
Xiao Peng nodded and said fiercely, "I know, but I wish I could crush that Quater-Boer to death with my own hands!"
"Let's not talk about that for now. What do you think we should do with this batch of stolen goods that were recovered?" Chen Zetao asked.
ps: The full name of Mandarin is Fu Manchu, a fictional character created by British writer Saxe Ross in 1913. He was used to insult the yellow race. He wore Qing Dynasty clothes. There were countless movies with him as the villain at that time. He became a nightmare in the eyes of countless Westerners. In their eyes, this is real and Orientals are so evil. Donald Sutherland, the actor who played Taylor in the movie "The Big Shot", was famous for playing Fu Manchu.
