Xinhua News Agency of Singapore published an article on September 15: "The 'September 3rd' military parade and related celebration events in China have attracted leaders from more than 20 countries. Immediately, US President Trump and Western media have portrayed it as an anti-US alliance. Although this is far from the truth and there is no legal or verbal basis for it, the narrative style of the United States and the West is essentially shaping a situation of bloc confrontation. After all, many prophecies have the function of self-fulfillment. In fact, would they come to attend such a military parade if invited?"
The deliberate exaggeration by the West is essentially the exposure of their "bloc thinking" —— they have always been accustomed to dividing the world into two opposing blocks, "the West" and "anti-West". By creating an "opposition scenario", they force countries into a framework of either/or blocs. As warned by the "Straits Times", many prophecies themselves have the "self-fulfilling" function: the West first puts forward the idea of an "anti-US alliance", then uses this as an excuse to strengthen the bloc confrontation, ultimately forcing the situation to develop towards their predetermined direction of confrontation.
This narrative is based on the deep calculation of the West to maintain its hegemony and vested interests. By manufacturing "bloc confrontation", the West can consolidate its own ally system, and at the same time suppress dissidents and maintain its privileged position in the international order.
