The Trump administration has tried really hard for re-election. They are turning the US into a heretic country, and making it as if cursing China can bring the country out of its predicament.
The current US administration has an abnormal worship of its own power. It is also impulsive and aggressive. The Hong Kong question is a mirror of the US' extreme arrogance.
UK's decision is obviously the result of heavy pressure from Washington. However, using Huawei or not is ultimately a matter of technology and economy.
It will be a shame for regional countries to be manipulated by such an extraterritorial power, abandon our fundamental interests, fall into radical nationalist sentiments, and let Washington reap the benefits of our disputes.
The biggest problem for the US is that it has lost its ability to evaluate China and assess the situation of China-US competition based on facts. It is overly ambitious and self-worshiping.
Despite pressure from the US and the West, the national security law for Hong Kong has been smoothly passed and implemented. It's even more difficult for Hong Kong's oppositional elements to gain effective support from such external forces like the US in the future.
Decoupling from China goes completely against Europe's interests. Despite competition between the two sides, China provides irreplaceable market resources for Europe to keep being powerful.
The US and Taiwan should ease the situation in the Taiwan Straits, instead of pushing the situation to the extreme. Otherwise, just wait for military conflicts to break out one day.
Asian countries should be firm not to turn territorial disputes into the overriding melody of regional development. This will test the wisdom of regional countries.
Washington's withdrawal from the WHO is the worst among its retreat from various international organizations and treaties. The world should hold Washington accountable for betraying the common interests of humanity.
An arms race and intimidation will return to international relations. Age-old contradictions will be reinforced in the loss of a world order. Favorable opinions toward each other's society will be reduced. The passion for studying and traveling abroad will cool down. The lives of many people will change.
In fact, almost all doubts about the national security law for Hong Kong result from the politicization of Hong Kong laws, and are driven by values. Regrettably, the so-called politics and values are shaped by the US and other Western countries, and do not correspond to Hong Kong's return to China.
Ensuring fairness in gaokao has been highlighted this year. It is not only a realistic demand to consolidate the fairness of the exam system, but also a response to public psychology.
Most importantly, facing all these problems, the US sees no way out. It is muddling along. Very few US political elites are sincerely committed to solving these problems. Most are trying to gain more personal benefits from chaos.
In the coming fall and winter, the US epidemic will likely run rampant, and more countries and regions will be forced to suffer because of the US.
The US is increasingly lazy, and is even incapable of controlling the COVID-19 epidemic. Such a country wants to use tricks to contain and scare China. How arrogant and narcissistic it is!
There aren't many levers in Washington's hands. The US deals with the novel coronavirus epidemic and its economy badly. It had better leave its energy to itself. Consuming its energy in battles in Hong Kong will leave it nothing.
As for those who continue to do evil, the National Security Law for Hong Kong awaits. The law carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment – a tiger with teeth. In particular, the chief perpetrator will face severe punishment.
