Chapter 81 bullying and bullying

I have been very busy in the hotel these two days, and the waiters often come to ask, someone in the lobby wants to see me, can you see me?There are people on the India-Pakistan border who want to see me, of course they can, but who are they?How do you know I'm here? When I went downstairs, I saw that they were all Chinese, batch after batch.There are overseas Chinese living here, as well as employees of Chinese companies stationed abroad. They are all viewers of Phoenix Satellite TV. They learned from the TV that India has not yet allowed our vehicles to enter the customs. The whole team is stranded in Lahore. The hotel came.

There was an overseas Chinese family, from the eighty-year-old lady to the ten-year-old little sister, the whole family came, holding flowers.The old lady's late husband was originally a Chinese member of the US military's advisory group during the Anti-Japanese War. He stayed in Calcutta, India, and his family stayed there.But then India was less friendly to Chinese than Pakistan and they moved to this border city.The old lady could almost recite a piece of Autumn Rain that I wrote for TV programs every day, and she especially admired Mr. Cao Jingxing, a current affairs critic, while the younger sister insisted on seeing Meng Guangmei.It's very easy, with a wave, Guangmei came over cheerfully.

The topic finally focused on one point: Why has India been promoting the China threat theory?This concerns the lives of overseas Chinese.It is said to be the number one threat, but no evidence is provided. I said, I do a little research on this.There are two kinds of people in the world, one is weak and the other is strong.The weak pretend to be pitiful all day long, just wanting to win the sympathy of others. They sometimes exaggerate the enemy's situation, but they dare not say who threatened them, because this will only increase their sense of crisis.On the contrary, those who try to be brave will never say that they have been threatened, but only dress themselves up as invincible heroes, and call out to stronger opponents again and again, wishing to fight immediately.

But there is also a kind of people who want to be weak and want to be strong.The method is to forge a strong enemy, which can combine the dual effects of being weak and showing off.This is an old trick that has existed since ancient times, and I did not expect this to happen in international politics. The bullying mentality is understandable.This is the psychological refraction of being enslaved for many years, and it is very difficult to get rid of.In India, for example, a Muslim monarch in the twelfth century said to his subordinates: You must remember that the Indians will not be tamed unless they are impoverished.Enough is enough for them to eat, and no surplus is allowed, let alone property.This kind of rule lasted for hundreds of years, and a stubborn grassroots mentality, begging mentality, and coveting mentality formed.Even after changing status, I still feel like a dwarf, constantly threatened and begged.

The mentality of being brave is also understandable.Alien rule has melted away, colonial rule is over, the population is the second largest in the world, and the economy is not slow. But what is annoying is that in the past two decades, in the general international perspective, China's status has improved a lot, while they are always regarded as Cheng is a member of troubled South Asia.Therefore, for India, the confrontation with Pakistan is not a major issue. The real issue is whether it can catch up with China in the next few decades and upgrade itself from a South Asian power to a world power.As a result, he came and went again and again, treating his own catch-up target as an enemy, and treating other people's achievements as a threat.

Both are understandable, but the combination of weakness and strength will inevitably produce distortion.Distortion can lead to violent emotions and extreme behavior, and I really don't know what the consequences will be. December 12, 1999, Lahore, overnight at Avari Lahore Hotel
