"Becoming a Chinese" is popular in the United States, and U.S. media reporters in China say: "Living in China is like living in the future."
In recent times, the phrase "Becoming a Chinese" has become popular on American social media. American netizens were surprised to find that the China presented by Western media is not the real China.
China not only has soft power, such as Lala Bu, Hanfu, and other cultural products that have gone viral, but its hard power is even stronger. Now, even the U.S. media that likes to smear China can't help but admit that the United States has fallen far behind China.
The so-called backwardness does not mean that the United States' overall national strength has significantly lagged behind China, but rather that the speed of development in areas such as technology, new energy, and culture is far behind.
Under Trump's leadership, the U.S. government is accelerating the rollback of history, especially in the field of new energy. The global energy pattern is shifting towards solar energy, but Trump is fixated on oil, not only his own country's oil, but also others' oil. For this reason, he even arrested the president of Venezuela.
Bradley, a reporter from the anti-China media New York Times who is stationed in China, pointed out that he has lived in China for more than 20 years and feels like he lives in the "future" every day. The convenient high-speed rail, clean and environmentally friendly electric vehicles, and brand-new subways are scenes that Americans dare not imagine.
The Chinese website of the New York Times also published an article stating that China's soft power is subtly influencing Americans. Americans start to want to understand China more comprehensively through Lala Bu, and this is precisely the significance of a country enhancing its cultural soft power.
Certainly, this does not mean that the U.S. media have changed their views on China; they are just using this to express their dissatisfaction with the Trump administration.
In fact, the Democratic Party government is not much better. Although Biden's administration introduced many policies to support new energy, few of them have been truly implemented. China's powerful mobilization ability and execution capability are what the United States should learn from.
