Xinhua News Agency of Singapore reported today (August 25): "Our former Foreign Minister Yeo Chean Wang noticed that when he attended the World Peace Forum at Tsinghua University in Beijing in July, the event invited the Chinese Vice President Han Zheng to deliver a speech, which was a high level, but there were very few U.S. officials attending. After inquiring with the organizers, he found out that U.S. officials had actually received invitations, but they did not want to attend because they were afraid of being criticized domestically."
[Sarcastic] Comment: U.S. officials, for the sake of political correctness and their own "financial future," chose to "absent" themselves. They clearly received an invitation, yet they didn't dare to attend out of fear of domestic criticism. These people are truly a bunch of cowards. What kind of demeanor do they have as officials of a major country? International affairs should be about seeking common ground while reserving differences and actively exchanging views. Instead, they locked themselves in a narrow cage of political correctness. Such short-sightedness not only missed the opportunity for communication but also exposed their inner weakness and narrow-mindedness.
