How The Threat Of China Was Made In The USA

China is bad. At least, that's what even a glance of U.S. reporting on China tells us. It’s a way of reporting that follows a long history of constructing the Chinese - in news, popular culture and the halls of DC - as a threat. In the first episode of Backspace, a new media critique series from AJ+, Sana Saeed explores what China and the Chinese have looked like in the American imagination, how that impacts and is impacted by U.S. immigration and foreign policies, and ways we can retell that story.

New episode is out! What ‘Cancel Culture’ Ignores About Free Speech kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZDHfKquZZ5sgLM

[@levelazn]

same country that had a chinese ban and muslim ban under trump, weaponized suspect claims of a genocide that is supposedly occuring in china in the form of sanctions and unfriendly business policies. And unsurprisingly, in an echo chamber of incestuous amplification of said claim without rebuttal, americans comfortably bought into the notion that china is the most repressive country in the world. The irony is lost when america is drone striking afghan syrian and iraqi civilians without consequence meanwhile pointing fingers at china in a imaginary genocide where no death is occuring, with the said victim group shielded from the one child policy, doused with affirmative action policies to help said group with job placement, prioritized education and civic protection.

The same thing happened to Japan in the 70s. When Japan's economic power was thought to threaten America's hegemony, there was a wave of anti-Japanese propaganda in the US. There were actually hate crime and murders of Asians in US because of it (just like the current Asian hate crime wave). Keep in mind Japan was a "free and democratic" country in the 70s. Its only "fault" was that, during the height of it's bubble, it was becoming too economically successful, and that threatened America.

I am from Hong Kong and have become a Canadian like Sana. I worked in the mainstream media in the early days of my career and actually built a national Chinese language television station in Canada. That was a long time ago. When Hong Kong was handed back to China in 1997, I returned to my hometown to watch the historical event. I ended up getting a job in China and lived there for almost two decades. I have witnessed China's rise and I can share one of my experiences in a few words. I was utterly shocked by the complete disregard for factual reporting of China by Western journalists. I am almost ashamed to say that I started my television career in Canada working as a director for a news crew on the streets of Toronto. These so-called Western "journalists" willfully dissemble and dissimulate in their reports about China, and they twist everything about China with a negative narrative. It is their job to be dishonest about China and they're happy to make a living doing it. China is by no means a perfect society, and no one should lie about that, but why should we expect any human society to be perfect? Given that China is a huge country with a long and continuous civilization, having a large and complex population but with scant resources, which is in the process of recovering from a hundred years of incessant wars and colonial plunder, its government has at least helped its people improve their lives from extreme penury and with a very disadvantaged hand. What has our government done for us lately, except crushing the people under a mountain of debt to send the people's sons and daughters into endless wars, committing atrocities in our name, and buying lies from the mainstream media, so we can all blame China? Meanwhile all the money flows into the coffers of the 1%. Sana's well-researched documentary unequivocally reveals the role taken on by Western mainstream journalists and their media bosses as disseminators of misinformation and false narratives in almost all their reports about China. Unfortunately, lies and fabrications will not overcome truth and facts. Not only will the mainstream media destroy our trust in them, they will destroy themselves as well as our society. This is what happens when our society no longer has trust. One of the symptoms of our sickness is how we now have lying presidents and lying prime ministers and lying lawmakers, and how it is now normal for them to lie. The problem is not that they lie, but that they lie poorly, like America's last president. I have recently written a short post titled "The Blame China Song". Feel free to read for a laugh.

In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, US have been involved, for 219 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of sovereign nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada. Well, this means that in its entire history, it has only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years (1861-1865), of its Civil War of Secession are not counted (Union/Confederates), since this war was not with another country, but against US. And the wars against the Native Nations of America are not counted too, for the same reason). Anyway: US fought against 29 countries. It has "Grown" 711 times the size of its territory from the original 13 colonies. It has provoked with total impunity, Genocides, inside and outside its own borders, and assassinations of Gov’t. Leaders, Coups d'État and Economic Blockades in 6 UN member nations. (Between 1947 and 1989, the US tried to change other nations gov’ts. 73 times. It includes 66 covert Ops. And 7 overt ones. In Civil Wars: The US has taken advantage of and intervened without justification in the following Civil Wars: In Cuba (1898 and 1960). In Haiti (1813 and then 1915-1934). In Colombia (1899-1902 and 1948). In Mexico (1847 and 1914 and again in 1916). In Russia (1918). In the "Republic Banana Wars" of Central America (1912-1934). In Venezuela (1945 and again in 1948). In China (1857, and 1900, and again in 1945-1946-1949). In Korea (1950-1953). In Viet Nam (1959-1975). In Panama (1964 and again 1989). In Central Africa (1969-1974 and 1982-1988). In Nicaragua (1937 and 1985). In Bosnia (1995). In the Philippines (1898 and 1900)... In Kosovo, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.). And more: US has almost 800 Military Bases scattered around the world; 93 of which are against China. On the other hand, China and N. Korea (The "Axis of Evil"), in 1,000 years of history have NEVER invaded anyone. These nations have fought their Civil Wars, defended themselves against foreign invasions, and secured their immediate borders, but they have never been meddling or aggressor countries. Do you know how many Military Bases China or N. Korea have outside their territory? None. Zero. Any. NADA! They do not have a single Base. These are verifiable facts. Neither China nor Korea will invade the world; US does... that's DONE, as US does in the Middle East. Iran also does not have a SINGLE MILITARY BASE outside its national territory, and it is surrounded by 16 US Bases, and it is US who call the Iranians Terrorists. Well, very good. You already know. Now, compare the Greatness of the US with the Greatness of China.

I mean China had suffered from a.World War and was the only country to get Experimented Biologically, Chemically, Physically and Morally. Right after the WW2, China also suffered from Mao's ill policy which took the lives of 30-40 million Chinese People. At that time, US stopped essential goods imports not just fromtheir country, Europe but also from Soviet Union. Even Soviets could help as much as they would have liked to help because US was kind of usinh their currency, technology and economic power to coerce Soviets into not giving China any help. So, you see China suffered the worst from the famines, WW2 crimes and only in the 80's did China truly opened up with reforms and the rest is history.

It ASTOUNDS me how the US and North America as a whole perceives China. I am not saying that China doesn't have it's issues, it isn't the greatest country out there but it's nowhere near what Americans are taught from media. I have been there several times in my lifetime, both for work, studies and tourism. I lived there for years and when I say my life was much better in China I mean that. The portrayal of China in western media is heinous, wrong and dangerous. I've met several North Americans in China who thought China was literal hell on Earth until they went there. But the thing is, many other foreigners I met there from Europe, Africa, Australia and even South America never had these askew thoughts about China. Many of them actually perceived the USA as worse than China in terms of crime, racism, inequality, and overall "badness". NA is taught that China = bad and while China has issues in it's political systems, I'd say many of the Chinese people I met were rather happy and proud of their country. Many of my Chinese friends here in Canada still have much love for their country and visit when they can.

Not mention about all riots happened in the world such as Hong Kong riot, Xinjiang riots, Tian An Men Protest etc. which organized by ARMerica , only talk about war. In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, US have been involved, for 219 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of sovereign nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada. Well, this means that in its entire history, it has only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years (1861-1865), of its Civil War of Secession are not counted (Union/Confederates), since this war was not with another country, but against US. And the wars against the Native Nations of America are not counted too, for the same reason). Anyway: US fought against 29 countries. It has "Grown" 711 times the size of its territory from the original 13 colonies. It has provoked with total impunity, Genocides, inside and outside its own borders, and assassinations of Gov’t. Leaders, Coups d'État and Economic Blockades in 6 UN member nations. (Between 1947 and 1989, the US tried to change other nations gov’ts. 73 times. It includes 66 covert Ops. And 7 overt ones. In Civil Wars: The US has taken advantage of and intervened without justification in the following Civil Wars: In Cuba (1898 and 1960). In Haiti (1813 and then 1915-1934). In Colombia (1899-1902 and 1948). In Mexico (1847 and 1914 and again in 1916). In Russia (1918). In the "Republic Banana Wars" of Central America (1912-1934). In Venezuela (1945 and again in 1948). In China (1857, and 1900, and again in 1945-1946-1949). In Korea (1950-1953). In Viet Nam (1959-1975). In Panama (1964 and again 1989). In Central Africa (1969-1974 and 1982-1988). In Nicaragua (1937 and 1985). In Bosnia (1995). In the Philippines (1898 and 1900)... In Kosovo, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.). And more: US has almost 800 Military Bases scattered around the world; 93 of which are against China. On the other hand, China and N. Korea (The "Axis of Evil"), in 1,000 years of history have NEVER invaded anyone. These nations have fought their Civil Wars, defended themselves against foreign invasions, and secured their immediate borders, but they have never been meddling or aggressor countries. Do you know how many Military Bases China or N. Korea have outside their territory? None. Zero. Any. NADA! They do not have a single Base. These are verifiable facts. Neither China nor Korea will invade the world; US does... that's DONE, as US does in the Middle East. Iran also does not have a SINGLE MILITARY BASE outside its national territory, and it is surrounded by 16 US Bases, and it is US who call the Iranians Terrorists. Well, very good. You already know. Now, compare the Greatness of the US with the Greatness of China.

Thru these viewing platforms (WeTV, IQIYI, VIKI etc) that are even free for certain series, we get a glimpse how their society really looks like today, the technology they use, their everyday lives, their culture, and even things like their healthcare, their police, their celebrities. And I learned they are not any different.

Their perception of countries or people outside the US is, surprisingly, atrocious and misconceived. Now, many around the world know that the US media are the main culprit in brainwashing its own people to believe in falsehood. There is no longer true journalism except fake and false narratives of any country or people that the US dislike, as prelude to seek consensus to create war or to invade. This is bad for America as a whole, the death of journalism. In fact, the country is now controlled by the oligarchs and the plutocrats, the 1% rich. The rest of Americans have been dude and eroded of decency and righteousness. And particularly the so called educated middle class which are shrinking fast in the country's economic heirarchy. About China, the US may have successfully influence the misconception of the American people, thus the Asian hatred. This does not augur well for the US, as it has made the US appearing and becoming more like a rogue country. Imagine a conflict between the extreme left and the extreme right causing tremendous political conflict causing horrendous social unrest and destruction. Generally, the US is moving in the wrong direction and back pedalling the whole world. There are, fortunately, good men and women around to address and show concern for the distortion that have been perpetuated and insinuated by the US administration and the main stream media, including some social media.

Therefore both CCTV and GCTN are the most boring TV station in the world when it comes to politic! However, there is a non official news outlet called Global Times, this a Chinese daily tabloid, the only press will excises freedom of speech in the western way, people may or may not like their opinion, first this is a non mainstream news tabloid, secondly this is use for expose the lie from the West, aka Xinjiang genocide just a lie that insults humanity's intellectual capability!

In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, US have been involved, for 219 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of sovereign nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada. Well, this means that in its entire history, it has only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years (1861-1865), of its Civil War of Secession are not counted (Union/Confederates), since this war was not with another country, but against US. And the wars against the Native Nations of America are not counted too, for the same reason). Anyway: US fought against 29 countries. It has "Grown" 711 times the size of its territory from the original 13 colonies. It has provoked with total impunity, Genocides, inside and outside its own borders, and assassinations of Gov’t. Leaders, Coups d'État and Economic Blockades in 6 UN member nations. (Between 1947 and 1989, the US tried to change other nations gov’ts. 73 times. It includes 66 covert Ops. And 7 overt ones. In Civil Wars: The US has taken advantage of and intervened without justification in the following Civil Wars: In Cuba (1898 and 1960). In Haiti (1813 and then 1915-1934). In Colombia (1899-1902 and 1948). In Mexico (1847 and 1914 and again in 1916). In Russia (1918). In the "Republic Banana Wars" of Central America (1912-1934). In Venezuela (1945 and again in 1948). In China (1857, and 1900, and again in 1945-1946-1949). In Korea (1950-1953). In Viet Nam (1959-1975). In Panama (1964 and again 1989). In Central Africa (1969-1974 and 1982-1988). In Nicaragua (1937 and 1985). In Bosnia (1995). In the Philippines (1898 and 1900)... In Kosovo, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.). And more: US has almost 800 Military Bases scattered around the world; 93 of which are against China. On the other hand, China and N. Korea (The "Axis of Evil"), in 1,000 years of history have NEVER invaded anyone. These nations have fought their Civil Wars, defended themselves against foreign invasions, and secured their immediate borders, but they have never been meddling or aggressor countries. Do you know how many Military Bases China or N. Korea have outside their territory? None. Zero. Any. NADA! They do not have a single Base. These are verifiable facts. Neither China nor Korea will invade the world; US does... that's DONE, as US does in the Middle East. Iran also does not have a SINGLE MILITARY BASE outside its national territory, and it is surrounded by 16 US Bases, and it is US who call the Iranians Terrorists. Well, very good. You already know. Now, compare the Greatness of the US with the Greatness of China. The "Greatness" of the US is built on the foundations of Piracy, Slavery, Genocide, the Assassination of opponents, Opium Traffic, or Cocaine in its case, and is under the foundations of the weakness of other sovereign nations.

Thank you! I've been thinking about why most mainstream news on China is always negative. Even positive news of China efforts are received in either doubtful manner or whataboutism.

[@dylandylantoriyama5370]

@Sieuw....China is not always positive there is alot issues in that country. Many Chinese have a distorted, misinformed and extreme racist vieuw of the globe around them. They engage in alot racist, anti-western rethoric on Weibo and Wechat. They just recently called a American basketball player the N word in his face ''behind a gate'' of course...because we all know those racist Chinese would be beaten up. The hate Indians, us Japanese, cant stand other Asian countries. Many chinese also have deep self hate and a bad self image. They worship white westerners ( models and looks).

As a Chinese person this is offensive why would you try to defend genocide or put a good face to the CCP? Is China bad? Was nazi Germany bad? No they're not bad but their governments are bad. I wonder what the CCP paid you for this. Chinese people and the CCP are not the same just as not all Americans are republican (but in the US you can at least vote) You speak about Chinese government is also harvesting organs from Christians The CCP has killed more people then Hitler, Stalin & both world wars combined. Today there are 2 million people in concentration camps. China didn't lift 800 million people out of poverty, the government made those people poor in the first place & then to meet the goal of poverty elevation they lower the poverty line, so most people in China are still under the poverty line that the rest of the world goes by. There's so much more like Tibet and so on, if you care about what is going on in China watch *China in Focus - NTD* or *China Uncensored* or *laowhy86* or *serpentza*

I lived in China for long, long time and still have many friends there. This video is extremely misleading. The "lack of civilization" is down to the decades of Communist rule, the so-called "Cultural Revolution", etc. Since the 1990s, the world gave China every opportunity to join the international community, but that was never enough. Note how they manipulated exchange rates for the Renminbi (Yuan), so that Chinese goods were artificially cheap in the West, driving domestic manufacturing out of business. Every American president from Obama onwards has got it right (nice to see the Dems and Repubs agree on something!!). The CCP (and especially Xi) seems to feel aggrieved by the century of shame, and seeks revenge for the loss of face. The CCP wants to dictate to the world like it does to its own people - and there are many, many examples of this. Average Chinese people are just like average people from anywhere else in the world. Good people!! The problem is the CCP. This is a video which should NOT be believed by anyone who wants a realistic view of China.

There's only 2 countries in the world that have above a billion people, India, which is a filthy and corrupt 3rd world country, compared to China, which is a clean, booming economy and vibrant nation. Having lived in Japan, Korea and Thailand for more than 30 years, I can say for sure China is the best country to live in Asia. The culture, the technology, the comradery, the nature are all incredible.
