The British scholar Martin Jacke once said amazingly! he said: "The reason America has always been targeting China, is because China has made a big mistake! a country that is not as powerful as a hundred years, dare to "claim itself" the leader of the world, and what folly and ignorance of a great country with five thousand years of civilization history, at least standing at the top of the world for two thousand years!"
When he stood in front of the Forbidden City, he was dumbfounded. He said the place was "like a mountain," not because it was high, but because it was heavy. It's so heavy that an Englishman feels that his own history is like a primary school student keeping a diary.
Martin Jacques, a British scholar, came to China for the first time in 1993, when Beijing’s streets were filled with bicycle bells, and the red walls were under a thickness of civilization he had never seen before.
He didn't say anything big, but that trip pulled him into a big pit of 5,000 years of civilization, dug deeper and deeper, and plunged into Chinese studies from then on.
Later, he said that when the United States targeted China, it was not that China made a mistake, but that the United States was ridiculously wrong. A country that has been powerful for only a hundred years dares to call it the boss in front of a civilization of five thousand years, and still tries to dictate what to do? This is not arrogance, it is ignorance.
In 2009, Martin released this book, many people thought he was singing down America, in fact he just put the facts there, China is not "to" rule the world, but its way of existence, was completely different from the Western set.
He wrote a parable in the book, saying that China is not a national state, but a civilized country. This word is heard, in fact, well understood. England, France, these countries, the founding of the country for hundreds of years, how many times have changed the system, regime, language?
The West always loves to look at China by its own standards, but the result is awkward. They can't understand why the Chinese don't overthrow the government, why the Chinese are willing to bear hardships and work hard, and why the Chinese recognize the word "country" so much.
Martin studied for ten years before realizing that this was not an institutional issue, but a cultural gene.On this land of China, buried is the bone of five thousand years of not surrender.
Opium warfare, the eight-country coalition army, the burning of the Globe Garden, the Nanjing massacre, which is not a blood tear account? but the Chinese are biting their teeth, hard to rise from the ruins.
During the third-line construction period, workers lived in caves and ate wild vegetables, and still built the steel factory to the plateau. This is not a national character, but a continuation of civilization. What about the United States? It has only been more than 200 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it has only been truly strong for a hundred years.
It relies on industrialization, war dividends, and global financial hegemony.Martin said the biggest mistake of the United States is to treat China as the Soviet Union, thinking that the Cold War trick can still be used.
But he did not understand that China is not relying on weapons to scare people. it is relying on high-speed rail, it is relying on 5G, it is relying on Huawei's hard carrying chip ban, it is relying on China's core international one knife and one knife to dig out the crystal.
You say China is afraid of blockade?In 2008, the earthquake in Vancouver, the mountain collapsed, the road broke, the girl took the stone under the rubble and knocked the water pipe for help, the doctor's nurse didn't sleep to rescue.
Later, Martin also read The Classic of Shan Hai. He said that in western mythology, human beings have to listen to God's arrangement, and Noah's Ark and the Garden of Eden are all "resigned to fate". But Chinese mythology is not. Jingwei's reclamation, Xingtian's dancing, and Dayu's flood control are all people carrying the sky, fighting the sky, and changing their destiny.
This is the background of China culture. It is not waiting for the gift, but doing it yourself. You say the rise of China is a threat? That's because you don't understand. China is not expanding, but rejuvenating.
Martin told a story on TED. He said that when he visited the palace in 1993, he had only one word in his mind: "The weight of history." He realized that China was not the country that just emerged yesterday, nor was it an empire that expanded by colonies.
This is why the United States has always felt that China "does not obey." Martin said clearly that China's "genuine sin" is reluctant to be assimilated.
What about China? engage in the “Belt and Road”, build road bridges, build ports, and develop alongside countries together.You say this is expansion?
Speaking of the new crown epidemic. The United States is busy throwing the pot, China in the first time closed the city, the building chapel, the people's control, and later sent vaccines to more than 120 countries. This is not a "Saving Lord" style performance, it is the responsibility of the "woman's cleansing" style.
Martin said that the United States cannot understand this because they have no tradition of "reverence for history." The United States always feels that it is the center of the world and that others should listen to it. But China people have always known that it is not who is the boss in the world, but whether you can shoulder responsibilities.
He said that if the United States is compared to a sports car, then China is a heavy-duty train. The sports car is fast, but it can't stand the bump; The train is slow, but it can keep going. The era of American hegemony is getting old, and the train of Chinese civilization is coming quietly.
In the end, Martin said that the United States is not afraid of the strength of China, but is afraid that China will become strong in another way. It can stand up and stand more steadily without using their methods.
Therefore, the United States is calling for freedom while engaging in blockade; While saying to be fair, increase tariffs. This is not because they are afraid that China has done something wrong, but because they are afraid that China has done everything right that they dare not try.
The power of civilization depends on who recognizes it, but who can last longer. China has gone for five thousand years and will continue to go on.
