When the US presidential election entered a critical stage, US President Trump received a nucleic acid test and confirmed that he was infected with the SARS-CoV-2. The U.S. President’s infection has quickly become the hottest news in recent days. In stark contrast to the blessings of Trump’s speedy recovery by politicians from all over the world, China’s five cents pink and some netizens waved the flag for Trump’s diagnosis, and some stores even posed for gimmicks. The slogans celebrating Trump's infection with the new crown and discounts in the audience made some Chinese intellectuals and overseas Chinese stunned.
Because of being scolded in the "National Football Team Celebrates the Syrian Team's Epidemic Event", the Chinese state media showed considerable restraint this time, and there is no longer a title like "National Football Welcomes Good News, 7 Syrian Team Infected with Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia" to describe the response to Trump's infection. The Global Times editor-in-chief Hu Xijin and the like still use Trump to attack the United States and continue to provoke the hatred of the Chinese people. They are described as "stupid and bad."
Hu Xijin is a CCP literati who makes money from the United States. One of his three WeChat announcements must be criticizing the United States. After Trump was infected with the epidemic, he immediately stated on Weibo that Trump "has been trying to play down the impact and impact of the epidemic on the United States", and now he has also paid the price for the epidemic.
In the evening of October 2, Hu Xijin retweeted a tweet posted by the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hua Chunying, “Sadly learned that the President and First Lady of the United States tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. I hope they can recover as soon as possible and return to health” , And moved it to Weibo. As a result, a large number of netizens angrily asked Hu Xijin whether it was fun to "jump the wall" every day? Which VPN do you use? Some netizens told him to talk about Hua Chunying's several suites in the United States; others said, "It's true that the old Hu is a grass on the wall, while outside the wall, while inside the wall." Most of the thousands of messages questioned the issue that Hu Xijin could climb the wall but the people could not, and it also made Hu Xijin's Weibo overturned again.
The Chinese Communist Party’s five cents of pinks’ gloating over Trump’s infection has also brought global media attention to this phenomenon again. In recent days, many self-media and observers have written articles or accepted interviews to analyze this lack of empathy.
System and education
In the report, France Guang said that the news of Trump’s illness caused many Chinese netizens to cheer and celebrate as they did after the outbreak of the September 11 incident. Some even expected the virus to defeat Trump. Some Chinese people told the media that Trump gave China a very good gift for "National Day", and China "celebrated the whole country." Although there are netizens who deviate from the moral bottom line all over the world, when the number of these netizens reaches a certain proportion and becomes a social phenomenon, it is very clear.
Mr. Zhang Lun, an associate professor at the University of Serchipandoise in Paris, said that in fact, the above-mentioned reaction of Chinese netizens is not surprising. There have been many undesirable phenomena in Chinese Internet in recent years. Chinese netizens have lost the most basic moral principles and vent them arbitrarily. When British Prime Minister Johnson fell ill a while ago, when Sino-British relations were still quite good, hundreds of thousands of people liked it on the Chinese Internet. This is a very serious issue, and it is a matter of the minimum respect for life. In the end, it will only poison the Chinese themselves and corrupt China's own culture. No matter how strong China develops in the future, if there is no minimum respect for life, such a nation will only arouse the world's vigilance. It will not trigger respect from the heart.
As for why only Chinese netizens in the world generally express the idea of schadenfreude, Zhang Lun said that there are very few people in all countries in the world who lack a moral bottom line. In a relatively normal Chinese society, their hearts are distorted and those who hold extreme positions. It will be relatively rare, but there are too many people like this in China, which means it must be related to China’s education and social system. Today’s Chinese schools are still educating children about the logic of class struggle in the past, such as criticizing the opposition, cruelly suppressing the enemy, etc. This logic is essentially similar to Hitler’s genocide, except that it is distinguished by race. On the other hand, this is distinguished by class. The expansion of China's narrow nationalism is in fact very worrying. Such a curse on Trump will not only arouse the resentment of American politics, but also of ordinary Americans.
Zhang Lun said that a 74-year-old man fell ill, but the Chinese Internet was applauded. Even Americans who opposed Trump would be disgusted by the behavior of Chinese Internet users. The Democratic Party has removed all advertisements that attack Trump in the past two days. This is a civilized society. China is still very far away from a civilized society, and China's strength in technology and economy and the gap in humanities will increasingly arouse the vigilance, resentment and even hostility of Western societies. This is an important reason. "The Analects" says that a gentleman is looking for himself, he should review himself, and do a good job by himself, without worrying about what others will say.
Zhang Kai, a well-known Chinese lawyer, published an article after Trump became ill, stating that the Trumps became ill. Someone in his circle of friends celebrated. There was a person celebrating. Zhang Kai originally planned to meet him after the holiday. His factory was demolished and suffered heavy losses. When he called, he cried.
He claimed to be my iron fan, and it took a lot of effort to find my contact information. In any case, he hoped that I would represent this case. When he forwarded Trump's illness information, he posted a lot of icons of 👏 and fireworks. I can see how happy he is across the screen. In order not to disturb his good mood, I silently deleted him. I thought: His house must have been demolished by Trump. Since he has avenged his revenge, he doesn't need to find me. I can't represent such a big international case.
Shi Jiepeng, former associate professor of Beijing Normal University, posted on social media, “If a leader of a country wins over SARS-CoV-2, I will not laugh at him, but admire him very much. Why? It means that they are really civilian leaders, not just for fun. They did not hide in the Nine-fold Forbidden Garden, and did not have a lot of protection when they went out. Only fools simply can't understand this."
