days
If it weren’t for seeing West’s talk show by chance, my impression of NBA players might always remain at the rough level.
In the traditional impression, NBA players are not closely related to "culture".
In addition to sports news, many news related to NBA players are high-paying, profligate, or peachy news. Although there are also humorous talk show players like O'Neal among NBA players, on the whole, athletes are not a culture. High-level groups.
Because of this, when I watched the interview with former NBA champion David West , my feelings can only be described as dumbfounded.
David West is a famous NBA power forward. He has won the NBA championship with the Warriors in the two seasons from 2017 to 2018. In the eyes of many fans, has a tough style and is not afraid of confrontation. He is the afterglow of a traditional power forward in the small ball era. His labels are more "old school", "tradition" and "hand-to-hand".
A few days ago, David West accepted an interview on an online talk show to talk about his views on China.
At this moment, Sino-US relations are showing a cliff-like collapse. Countless Americans regard China on the other side of the ocean as a foe. Trump’s “China virus” sentence a day can always arouse the climax of supporters.
So, as a retired NBA champion, what did David West say?
If you have no patience to watch the video, you can also take a look at the following explanation.
First, let me say that the status quo :
on China's state system:
on China's economic achievements:
West also valuable aware, China's achievement does not depend on plunder and aggression come:
for West The image of China under media promotion:
As for the current status of the world, West also has a very clear understanding:
If the above statement is clear, it is a person who has a clear understanding of the international situation. West's knowledge of China is even more surprising.
understands the modern history of China, and advises other NBA teammates not to participate in anti-China remarks on the Hong Kong issue:
He deeply understands the Chinese attitude towards modern colonial history and how important anti-imperialism is in the hearts of the Chinese people. Status:
"I always think that history is the best way for us to interpret the present. If you have studied Chinese history, especially the history of colonization in modern times, you will know that the thinking they have always emphasized is that must never be ruled and controlled. . This can be said to be the political ideology they have continuously instilled in the future generations for almost a hundred years. The interests of the Chinese people have been invaded by other countries, China is controlled by other countries, China has lost its sovereignty and lost contact with the past thousands of years of history... …These (narratives) are all about their social structurePolitical thinking, we must understand the challenge we face. "
He even knows that China is engaged in a comprehensive fight against poverty:
. What’s more surprising is that as an American who doesn’t understand Chinese, West actually noticed that the attitude of Chinese diplomats has gradually changed in recent years. Strong attitude, I have reason to doubt that he knows Geng Shuang and Hua Chunying:
As an American, as a successful athlete, West is able to select enough in such a bad public opinion environment against China. Objective information and having such a deep understanding of China is really amazing. Although
is an NBA champion, when West was very young, he understood that basketball will not be his lifelong pursuit. His hobby is learning. History.
West is different from most athletes. He was born in a middle-class black family and has developed the habit of reading since he was a child. NBA teammates said that he can’t leave the book even in the locker room and is called " Adults in the locker room".
After entering the NBA, he did not use his high salary to raise a luxury car mansion. Instead, built a huge library at home, and books on history, philosophy, psychology and many other aspects were everywhere. Bao, and even an ancient book published in 1840, West spends three or four hours a day in reading.
As such a profound star, West has always been valued in the team and is regarded as a consultant. Players who look at it. The team’s senior officials have always invited him to join the management, but he declined.
In the NBA, there are no shortage of players who are enthusiastic about social activities, and there are also players who are used to stand for "BLM" (black life). .But most players don’t really understand the ideas and logic behind these activities and political factions. It’s even rarer for David West to systematically understand foreign history and international situations.
actually, whether it’s the American political circle Or in the cultural and sports circles, the majority of anti-China pioneers are white, and many ethnic minorities from the bottom have received less "systemic brainwashing" and tend to have a more objective understanding of China. For example, , the famous American singer Ka Jie "Ka Di B", the remarks after the Wuhan epidemic prevention can be described as red and purple:
All this is based on her understanding of Wuhan's epidemic prevention measures:
Finally, her conclusion is that China let me stand. I dare not sit, China is pointing east and I dare not go west. Do you want to embarrass China? Wait for you to die!
In fact, whether it is a rationalist like David West or Sister Card, it is a normal reaction of a person who has an objective understanding of China.
, after all, the numbers are not deceiving. In the same epidemic, the number of infections in China is less than a fraction of the number of infections in the United States. The president on the other side does not have any useful measures except daily gags.
Just a few days ago, Trump also claimed-"If I lose the election, China will rule the United States, and you have to start learning Chinese."
is not uncommon in Trump’s campaign. He just like West said, firmly implements its "red terror" policy, and builds itself into a superhero against China.
It's just a pity that what Trump said is what the American people like to hear. Countless Americans really feel that once Trump loses the election, China will be like lightningGeneral return.
and the remarks of West and others are neither spread nor recognized by many Americans. Because most don't want to hear the truth, just want to hear what they like. In today's American public opinion, the voice of reason is like playing the piano against a bull.
During World War II, the United States was willing to write a special book "Chrysanthemum and Sword" in order to understand Japan. The American think tank during the Cold War claimed to "know Russia better than Russians." What is the attitude of the United States now?
When the epidemic broke out again in Beijing’s new place not long ago, the Associated Press collected photos of the new place blocked by the police in order to report that “the place where the epidemic originated was blocked by the police”:
In the end, the agency did not find any pictures of the police in Xinfadi.
Do you think they gave up?
Later in their report, posted a photo of Gwanghwamun in Seoul, which proved that the "new place" was blocked by the police:
The CNN reporter who visited Wuhan deliberately lowered the camera outside the Wuhan hospital and pretended to be a sneak shot. , And then rushed all the way as if to avoid hunting. However, no one actually prevented them from hunting them down, but they were still determined to lead and act in a secret filming drama.
Why? Because American people love to watch this.
Under the prolonged brainwashing of the media, American public opinion has formed an indestructible "information cocoon room". Any voice that wants to break the cognition of the people in it is hard to beat.
may take many years before the American people realize that the "media reports" they see do not have much credibility. Instead, they are an NBA star, so that they can understand the real China.
