China has undergone great changes in the past two decades, without supplying food and living necessities from China will become incredible worries to certain countries which require China-made products and foods to access their lands. As a Chinese, I don’t know why the foreign media smears China so much, most of the Western media consistently report China’s poverty, and backwardness. Now I want, in this article, to say something concrete:
1. China’s infrastructure is the first in the world, which means that China’s buildings are very spectacular, atmospheric, and beautiful, showing the style of a great country, which should be due to China’s large population, and other countries’ completely different styles.
Under the policy, the broad networks and long-term planning on high-speed rail HSR system are very mature and relatively modern in comparison with many other countries, it prevails on the same system operated by any of other Western or Asia countries of nowadays. According to historical records, the first several batches of HSR systems were imported to mainland China in the early 20th Century (2004 to 2006) from Germany, Japan, Canada, and France. Since then the HSR’s systems have been increasingly upgraded by China itself to achieve the highest standard on both safety and ride-comfort of all passengers no matter how fast it reaches. I remember I once put a cup of water on the dining basin (you may know it is a plastic tray equipped behind the high-speed-rail seat) to test, it turned only a little ripple when it ran at 312 km/h, didn’t feel any vibration and uncomfortable with the ride. Today, China’s high-speed rail has been exported to many friendly countries through the “Belt and Road” interoperable projects, those countries do benefit from the newly installed HSR system nowadays. In addition, the recent test of China's new ultra-high-speed maglev train in Shanxi province has been successful, capable of reaching speeds up to 621 miles per hour or (1000 km/h), the train demonstrated controlled navigation, stable suspension, and safe stopping, even on curved sections of the route, some people said it is faster than a plane!.
I don’t think it’s right that some people say that China likes to plunder other countries’ technology and knowledge, but I think that people born in China are often very hard-working and willing to know and learn the latest things from the West and Europe, for example, in the recent Paris Olympics, the Chinese synchronized swimming team and another rhythmic gymnastics team won two Olympic gold medals with the help of a Spanish coach and a Russian coach respectively who taught the teams a lot of techniques. I would say Chinese people are the second smartest people in the world, not the smartest ones because I believe China's leader will let others compete for the top spot and take the hits for China. Mr. Ren Zhengfei (Director of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.) once said that Huawei is like a hyena on the grassland, always be and will never mind being a hyena. Only by letting the United States be a lion can we make progress!
2. China was declared in the year 2000 to be fully out of poverty, into a comprehensive well-off life, these data are real, the internet is so advanced today, each person owns at least one cell phone, and even the village grandpa and grandma know how to open live broadcasting money, these outside the media will not report. Its native app “WeChat” has become a powerful tool for all life needs, no matter what you want to find or order, such as high-speed rail tickets, movie tickets or taxis to take you anywhere, or join a travel group and pay bills…etc. that makes it convenient for China users.
3. Electric vehicles and unmanned aerial objects are clear examples that prove that Chinese people have become the second smartest people (never say ourselves to be the smartest ones) in the world. BYD was not a native Chinese vehicle company in the beginning to make EVs but carried out Chinese-style management and reforms after acquisitions. Besides, the newly invented blade-type battery has helped BYD stand at the top of China’s electric vehicle field. Through unremitting efforts, it has delivered cheap and durable electric vehicles made in China to foreign lands. With the great help of the 5G network supplied by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd, unmanned vehicles and multifunctional aerial objects can be operated safely and systematically, all are very highly credible in the inland and outland markets.
4. If you say backward, China’s education is not the same, which is derived from the imperial examination system, there are very deep-rooted historical reasons, and not too much innovation, which is the most fundamental reason for a country, in short, still need to continue to work hard.
I have to say some things which you might not know…
In the late 80s, you may not know some unfortunate incidents happened, China had opened the labor-based market to all foreign countries and let worldwide investors access the world-biggest manufacturing hub which turned considerable population into valuable manpower under the lowest wages and costs. Most of the businessmen had only built humble factory facilities there but lacked proper protective guards to safeguard their workers, someone lost fingers or unfortunately, a palm, even a lower arm when required to catch up with deadline under the operation of those dangerous machinery, they wouldn’t report any injury case to the superiors or employers of their working factory as it might lose job accordingly (this was talked by a friend’s father). Those older ministers (now 50 to 60 years old) who had given outstanding service in late 19th Century of China were the base to help thrive today’s China.
All in all, China is full of hard-working and wise people. We, Chinese, know very well that “if a bird sticks out its head, it will be shot”, so we always claim to be the world’s second or even third smartest people, never mind be the fourth.. or fifth. We did many incredible things and experienced a lot of hard stories beforehand.
