Current affairs perspective
The crown disease has continued to spread in the world, and the Chinese epidemic has gradually eased and prepares to support the world.After overcoming difficulties, China, promoting and saving the world at home and abroad, has caused heated discussions.
At the beginning of the outbreak, there were many reports about Chinese tourists buying masks in Japan, but now in turn, the official level of Chinese attempts to provide mask assistance to Japan. Such emails have also passed to my personal mailbox.Someone sent me an email saying that I heard that the Japanese epidemic developed very quickly and could not buy a mask everywhere. I hope to tell him my address and give me a mask.
Indeed, the Chinese media reported beautiful friendly stories on the major issues of Japan -China relations in recent months.When the domestic epidemic spread, he reported on the mask assistance supplies from Japan and expressed his gratitude. This time, it began to report to support Japan.However, the actual situation is not so beautiful.
At the beginning of the spread of the epidemic, tourists visiting Zhonghua Street (Kobe Nanjing -cho) visited Japan, and large -scale catering shops temporarily suspended their business.There are even reports that some Chinese restaurants have received letters written in Japanese, which is that the Chinese roll out from Japan.Although such discrimination is very small, it must not be allowed.However, there are also reports that before receiving such a letter, many people expressed their support and were tied up.
In any case, the number of tourists visiting China Street across Japan is sharp.In March, the domestic epidemic in Japan expanded, and the government asked citizens not to participate in large -scale activities and a large number of banquets.This time it is not only Zhonghua Street, but the customers of the entire Japanese restaurant have decreased sharply, which also caused a greater impact on Zhonghua Street.Such disasters are also obvious in Japanese companies and food shops in Zhonghua Street.
The world supports China. This time it is the story of China to support the world. If it is only Japan -China relations, Japan sends a mask to China. This time, China sends a mask to Japan. This story of this kind of charcoal in the snow is really beautiful.However, it must be noted that it is impossible to explain that the sense of view of China alone has changed, both in the world and Japan.In Japan, it is not necessarily because of such friendly stories to spread, which will improve the feelings of Japanese citizens to China.
In China, I often hear the world's complaints.However, if the facts of the world ignore the world, excessive publicity of beautiful stories at home and abroad, it is likely to have a greater gap in the understanding of China and the world.A few months later, after this kind of understanding is clear, will China say that the world has distorted the facts?So far, the world has accumulated such experience and has a certain degree of immunity.China has attracted worldwide attention, China has also been studied, and the athletes who have attracted much attention are studied by the other party.
China's propaganda may be effective in part of the world.It is not strong relationship with China, in a sense, countries and regions with low experience.However, countries with a long relationship with China and high experience have understood China's propaganda methods and remarks.Recently, China ’s stories that Japan’ s strong promotional mask assistance has been rendered in Japan. However, as mentioned above, Japanese nationals have not improved their feelings for China.
For China, doing so may be prepared for Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit Japan, but the effect is very small.In this way, on the occasion of Xi Jinping's visit to Japan, if you see that Japan's friendly atmosphere for China is not very high, maybe China will feel strange and disappointed.China ’s publicity at home and abroad may be able to control domestic public opinion, but it is not easy to affect other countries.In addition, China's propaganda has also restrained foreign policies, which is self -restraint.
In the face of the world's popularity, this is a issue related to global governance, rather than competing like this problem like the Olympic Games.Therefore, there is no need to preach the country's prestige, no friendly stories that are not consistent with the actual actual situation, nor do they need to be excessive to medium injuries.
