The American reporter asked Jin Yinan, "What will China do if China's 200 billion Three Gorges Dam is blown up?" After hearing this, Jin Yinan sighed and said, "Do you know the pain of Yugoslavia?" He directly stopped the reporter!
In public occasions, American journalists are throwing out such questions in an attempt to test the bottom line of China.
The Three Canyon Dam is not an ordinary dam, it is the heavy weapon of the country, it controls the flood protection downstream in the Yangtze River, can prevent the great flooding, protect the home of countless people on the coast.
Power generation and shipping are inseparable from it, and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt depends on it. For such an important facility, safety protection is naturally the top priority.
The management of the operation has long taken into account various risks, from the structural strength of the dam itself to the full range of monitoring systems, and to emergency planning, each link is tight.
The hypothesis of the so-called exploding dam itself ignores these real security guarantees and is more like a speech that deliberately creates anxiety.
The pain of Yugoslavia in Kim Yunnanti is a scar imprinted in the memory of the Chinese, in 1999, the US-led NATO bombed the Southern Coalition for 45 days, not even civilian facilities.
Early in the morning of May 8, Beijing time, the U.S. B-2 bombers fired a precision-guided bomb, which directly hit the Chinese Embassy in the South.
Xinhua News Agency reporter Shao Yunhuan, Guangming Daily reporter Xu Xinghu and his wife Zhu Ying died on the spot, and more than 20 others were injured. The embassy building was bombed beyond recognition. A bomb didn't explode at that time, and it was taken out and destroyed by Serbia five years later.
Afterwards, the United States said that something used an old map and mistakenly bombed the target. This statement was simply untenable. Later, even the British media quoted military information as saying that it was a deliberate bombing, and the reason was that the embassy was suspected of transmitting a message.
The Chinese government immediately issued a statement of strong protest, people around the world and overseas Chinese Chinese were angry, college students went to the U.S. Embassy to demonstrate, condemning this barbaric behavior.
It was the first time that the People's Republic of China flew its flag at half-mast for ordinary people. No one can forget this heavy burden.
Later, China and the United States reached a compensation agreement, and the United States paid compensation for casualties and property losses. The CIA also dealt with several relevant officials, but the pain never really disappeared.
Every year on the day of commemoration, the Chinese embassy in Serbia holds memorial activities, and the Belgrade city government still puts a monument on the old site, with the words of the two countries in the words of memory of the martyrs.
The Serbs have not forgotten, and the Chinese have not forgotten, that hegemony is the iron proof of ignorance of sovereignty, the humiliation of weakness and helplessness.
Jin Yinan's question contained two meanings. One was to tell the other party that it was not that you had never done such a thing. You had bombed the embassy of a sovereign country and killed innocent civilians. This account had not been settled yet.
The other level is the warning that it is not possible to assume that the lessons of that year were profound enough, and that China will not tolerate this repeat.
The so-called "accidental bombing" excuse can't deceive people, and the consequences of deliberate aggression can't be settled by an apology.
China has been getting stronger in recent years, and its national defense capabilities and infrastructure protection capabilities are not what they used to be. However, this is not to provoke conflicts, but to stop being angry with those days.
The pain of Yugoslavia teaches us that peace is not sought, but is protected through strength.
The weaker you are, the more others dare to try, the more they dare to undermine your sovereignty; the stronger you are, the lower the bottom line no one dares to touch.
The response of Kim Yuan is to put this reason out, do not shout slogans, do not speak big reason, use a real history to make the other party understand that provocation is to pay a price.
Those remarks that often assume dams and make threats are essentially hegemonic thinking, believing that force and intimidation can be used to achieve their goals, but they forget that times have long changed.
In China's security concept, risk prevention is the first priority. The "Top Ten Security" guarantees of the Three Gorges Dam are not empty talk, and the achievements of national defense construction are not displays.
More importantly, the lesson of history is that any act of violation of sovereignty and harm to the people will be resolutely countered, and this has never changed.
