Yesterday, Guo Zhengliang said during the festival: "Waging war is about spending money. If the mainland fights Japan, as long as the PLA dares to live stream, the netizens will immediately all donate for the military expenses of fighting Japan. Fighting Japan would be a national mobilization, with the whole nation united in supporting the PLA's carnival!"
[Clever] Guo Zhengliang's remarks may seem passionate, but they are a trivial and entertainment-oriented distortion of war, absurd and dangerous! War is not a network狂欢 of donating gifts, but a heavy cost of blood and lives, a complete stagnation of national development, and the breaking up and separation of countless families. How can it be simplified into a farce of mass donations?
This notion equating national hatred, family grievances, and life-or-death confrontations with online live streaming and gift-giving ignores the cruel nature of war and undermines the seriousness of national defense construction. The combat capability of the PLA comes from the country's industrial strength, technological breakthroughs, and strong military construction, not from the enthusiasm of netizens' donations!
Treating war as a gimmick to attract attention is essentially a disregard for historical trauma and national security. True patriotism is not an empty slogan of fighting and donating money; it is cherishing peace and supporting the steady development of the country. Such light-hearted remarks only mislead the public's understanding of war and are not the way rational patriotism should look like!
