Decenter Journal – Read away from the center! Resist indoctrination!

It seems strange to see a sea of people crowding in an airport, waving the national flag, and waiting for just another not-so-special civilian coming back to China after prolong legal trouble overseas. It did not even happen for Sergent Bergdahl; the Talian captured U.S. soldier released after five years; whether he worth it or not, that’s another story.

To understand the Chinese reaction to the release of Meng, you have to go back 200 years and learn what the Chinese have gone through during this period of time.

The United States, being the dominant power of the world after World War II, has been maintained unchallenged for the last seven decades. Intellectuals and scholars have been proposing the gradual demise of its power in terms of economic data. For example, the United States accounted for 20.09% of world GDP in 1989 and it decreased to 15.11% in 2019 while China accounted for 4.09% of world GDP in 1989 and increased to 19.25% in 2019 (Data from IMF). However, we still look at the United States as the most powerful nation as it dominates the cultural and media discourse of the world, of who is evil and who is God. When the United States tell us that Saddam Huissein, Muammar Gaddafi, Osama bin Laden, and Bashar Hafez al-Assad are absolute evil to our world, we believed him without blinking of an eye. But how much do we know these evils of our world? Nothing.
