A Clarification
When people said the U.S. is a young country with little over 200 years of history, they have mistaken in terms of failing to distinguish the difference between a people of civilization with modern nation-states. The United States is actually the forefather of modern statehood and the progenitor of contemporary republican statecraft.
Therefore, when all of those chauvinistic and insolent, but ignorant, and yet naïve-willed Chinese folks whose brains were saturated with ethnocentric fanaticism fired up by CCP’s so-called “patriot education”, and flaunting about the longevity of the Chinese civilization who allegedly maintained a 5,000 years of tradition and culture, he failed to recognize that his modern citizenship, which is registered under the commonwealth of PRC has only gotten a little over half-a-century of treacherous turbulences. Granted, that the Chinese civilization is one of the oldest civilizations still in existence, and certainly deserved to be placed among mankind’s top-brass achievements along the journey of our collective evolution. Nevertheless, the Communist regime of CCP was a late-comer in terms of modern nation building.
In the light of such clarification, while the U.S. has gotten a long record of superb presidencies, a magnificent and heroic national history, and an honorably national tradition with a brilliant constitution, the history of PRC falls so short that it is dwarfed with nothing but shame and sorrow. Suppose one is to apply for naturalization for PRC citizenship, he’s going to learn that the Independence Day of PRC is Oct. 1st, 1949, which was in fact, established through decades-long of bloody struggles to the final grand scale of coup d’etat resulting in subversion of the Nationalist’s government and their ultimate retreat to the island of Taiwan.
On its founding date, Tibet was still independent, and only got conquered and occupied in ’50-’51 by CCP’s Red Army under party propaganda of so-called “liberation from mediaeval serfdom and theocracy”. The territory of PRC was arbitrarily drawn which cannot pass keen scrutiny. According to conventional wisdom and existing protocols, which state that the new regime inherits the territory of the previous one, and it is in this light that the CCP does so to justify its legitimacy over Tibet, Taiwan, etc. However, the geographic polity of the last regime, both Qing Dynasty and ROC were far more encompassing than the PRC’s long-enduring indoctrination of the visual imagery of its map: “a chicken with two eggs”. (This might be strange to foreigners but it was consistently taught in mainland Chinese schools.) Both the Qing Dynasty and ROC had vast amount of territory to the North of Manchuria and the whole of Mongolia under their jurisdiction despite its implementation in reality due to specific circumstances of a particular historic phase, and this fact, had simply been forgotten, and shamelessly ceded away to the Soviets during the initial phase of CCP’s strive for power.
If CCP argues that Tibet had belong to China since the Yuan Dynasty in the 13th Century, which by the way, was ruled by the Mongols, it should mind-as-well reclaim all of those territories once ruled by the Mongols, which extended to modern Eastern-Europe. But all of this is nothing but bigotry and an utter imperial gesture that the Free World simply cannot tolerate. For the totalitarian regime of CCP only brings misery not only to the people under its ruling but also menacing the security and well-being of the people living around it with its surreptitious “soft-power” coercion.
Upon this simple revelation, one can easily pierce through the smokescreen that CCP had veiled upon China, and only finds out the fact for himself that since the birth of PRC in 1949, there’s nothing admirable about it, other than the fanatical worshipping of a ruthless and pitiless tyrant, a bloody history of Stalinist/Maoist purge, massacre, incarceration, intimidation, manipulation, liquidation, widespread starvation, nuclear proliferation, and downright shameless perpetuation of a BIG LIE.
One will seriously start to doubt how the CCP would prepare the lessons for PRC-naturalization. Sample questions might be like:
-“what was the years of Culture Revolution”?
-“how many people perished under Mao’s rule”?
-“what year was the first nuclear and hydrogen bomb being exploded in China?”
-“what’re the names of the ‘gang of four’”?
-“what happened on June 4th 1989”?
-“what was the main achievement of our president Jiang Zeming?”
But, of course, the Reds would simply cover up these stigmas and powder it up with some vainglorious fanfares and bloated banalities that we’re too familiar with these days.
