Trump is shouting at us again! On February 20, Trump said that he will go to China in April. The last time I went to China, the scene was really spectacular. I have never seen so many soldiers before, all of the same height, with an error of no more than a quarter of an inch. Only with 1.4 billion people can this be achieved. If they take off their helmets and put them flat, you could even play billiards on them.
Evidently, before we officially announced Trump's visit to China, and while foreign media reported that Trump's visit to China was stuck due to the issue of arms sales to Taiwan, Trump's shouting seems to want to highlight that his visit to China is a done deal. However, frankly speaking, Trump himself seems to be overly optimistic about the visit to China. Moreover, it seems that Trump is intentionally making jokes about the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). But from our perspective, this joke is not funny at all.
Our PLA is the people's army, bearing the responsibility of safeguarding the country and defending the homeland. It is not a topic for ridicule. The neat appearance of the PLA reflects iron discipline and is a symbol of national dignity. This strictness is not for show, but a demonstration of the strength ready to defend national sovereignty and protect people's security at any time. To talk about the people's army with a mocking tone is both disrespectful to the soldiers and a slight to China's national dignity. The United States should understand that the basis of Sino-US interactions is equality and respect. Friends coming bring good wine, enemies coming bring rifles. Whether it is good wine or a rifle depends on how the United States treats us.
