Hung Tington, a professor of political science at Harvard University, who has written a book of civilization and a world famous, also wrote a very interesting article in the United States, but it is not universal.His main point is that the geographical environment, natural resources, and historical opportunities of the United States are very unique, so they do not have the feasibility of imitation of other countries; therefore, the development model and values of the United States are universal, which is absurdEssence
In fact, any civilization is unique and has different development trajectories. It is formed by the restrictions of different natural environment and natural resources, and therefore is different from any other civilization and ethnic groups.Our world is colorful because of this.
In order to escape religious persecution and the hunger and cold of their country, the early Americans migrated to the American continent.Survey with the help of indigenous Indians.After these new people stood firmly, they had conflicts and wars with the Indians.The defeated Indians were expelled from their original homes and called the journey of blood and tears in American history.In 1838, the US Army and the militia in the states held the Indians in the North Carolina and the states in the southeast to move to the reserved area in the west.The United States has also destroyed tens of millions to hundreds of millions of Indians through the plague.Some Indians were willing to give up their resistance and be a good Indian, but the answer of the US Army generals: good Indians are dead.The previous U.S. government tore up more than 150 formal treaties signed with the Indian tribe and hundreds of informal treaties.
Historical irony is that in the 20th century, some elites in the United States have forgotten the killings in their history, began to talk about human rights, and wrote it to the UN Charter.By the end of the 1970s, US President Carter used human rights as a diplomatic weapon for the Cold War, attacked the Soviet Union, and received a response from some Soviet intellectuals.
Human rights and diplomacy in the United States also received a response from Chinese literati.In 1984, US President Reagan gave a speech at Peking University. He talked about human rights as the importance of universal value. Many Chinese professors and students worshiped him.Chinese college students at that time listen to the voice of the United States every day.In a sense, the student movement in Beijing on June 4, 1989 is the inevitable result of the long -term publicity of VOA in China.Before the June 4th bleeding incident, in the large speakers of some universities in Beijing, there was a broadcast of American VOAs in the large horn of the university. One of them reported that the US government was preparing to give Chinese college students airdrop weapons. Many Chinese students believed it.The Chinese government has no counterattack.
On June 29, 1998, US President Clinton visited China and gave a speech at Peking University. He also talked about the universal value of human rights.Although the Chinese government organized students to ask Clinton in advance, Clinton's charm and human rights as the charm of universal value, deeply rooted in Chinese intellectuals.It can be said that what Dulles said in the 1950s, the strategy of peaceful evolution in China's third and fourth generations in China has achieved great success in China.
On September 11, 2001, terrorists drove to the New York World Trade Building.Many Chinese intellectuals issued a statement saying that it was Americans tonight and supported the United States.
But the glorious image of the United States in China caused the former President Bush Bush to destroy it all at once.After Bush came to power, he enabled his father's old Ministry of Bush, and reunited the new world order theory that his father had not had time to implement due to the failure of the re -election.He first proposed the evil axis that accusing Iran, Iraq, and North Korea's three irresistible countries as evil axes.
Without the permission of the United Nations to invade Iraq, the casualties of 1 million Iraqi civilians and a large number of refugees.To make matters worse, WikiLeak disclosed a large number of photos of the US military abuse of Iraq prison prisoners, various insults, humiliations, and various tortures, and tolerance.Democracy and human rights in the American population have lost their original gold content, and the universal value strategy of the United States bankruptcy in China.The universal value diplomacy that Americans have run for decades have collapsed.
In order to mess up China, the United States encourages some people in Hong Kong to engage in the Chinese movement and challenge China's position in Hong Kong.The original strategy of Americans is through the protests of Hong Kong people, which has caused the response of young people in mainland China. However, the United States underestimates the national feelings of the Chinese people. As a sign of humiliation in Chinese history, Hong Kong can easily stimulate the nationalist response of mainlanders.The operation of the United States in Hong Kong actually failed. Chinese young people did not respond to Hong Kong people's protests, and even overseas Chinese students were almost opposed to Hong Kong protest demonstrations.
U.S. President Trump fights with China to support Taiwan's independence tendencies, and this time he dumped China on the issue of crown disease epidemic. In a sense, it helped the Chinese government's busyness.The Chinese government does not know how to deal with the universal value diplomacy of the United States, let Bush Bush, and let Trump and Secretary of State Pompei help China.They teach Chinese people to recognize the true colors of this world. In the world of this nation -state, there is no so -called universal value.Abstract human rights do not exist.In the world of weak meat and strong food, a strong country can do whatever you want, and the weak country can only swallow the sound to protect himself.
