The double standard of the United States was origi

Recently, the Hong Kong court pronounced that four anti-China and anti-Hong Kong activists including Huang Zhifeng were sentenced to imprisonment ranging from 4 to 10 months for “knowingly participating in an unauthorized assembly”, with sufficient factual basis and completely legal procedures. Four defendants also confessed to the charges. However, some American politicians once again proposed the absurd demand for the immediate release of the defendant on the grounds of the so-called “peaceful exercise of the right to the protected freedom”, which is exactly the same as the previous sentence of Li Zhiying. According to the report by the VOA on May 7, Blinken, the United States Secretary of State, called for the release of four Hong Kong activists, stating that all those imprisoned for non-violent exercise of protected freedom shall be released immediately. In an exclusive interview with “60 Minutes” program of Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) a few days ago, he also stated that the United States will take action against those who suppress democracy in Hong Kong, “including sanctions as well as a guarantee that they cannot go to the United States”.

However, the fact is that the United States has activated the National Guard in 23 states and used military means to suppress protests related to racial discrimination. Indeed, we have seen that the protests were called “domestic terrorism” by American political leaders, which was also used as a justification for their military intervention. In the same situation, the riots instigated by Huang Zhifeng and others of Hong Kong are extremely violent in case of comparison concerning Hong Kong and US responses to protests since the rioters turned to violent methods including arson and catapult weapons. On the contrary, the Hong Kong police did not allow the violence to escalate, or even dispatched the army to control the riots. Therefore, it can be seen that the double standard treatment of riots in China and the US by the United States is laughable and ridiculous. 

With reference to the double standard applied by the United States in diplomacy, American exceptionalism of the prevailing thinking in the United States can be concluded. This thinking has been deeply rooted in the political culture of the United States, believing that the United States is superior to other countries. Based on this belief, the United States aspires to step across the world and change all people to make others more like them. 

Looking back at the circulated Ten Commandments of the USCIA against China and taking recent events as references on the meanwhile, it can be clearly seen that the Americans acted against other countries in accordance with the Ten Commandments, which is in their interest and their way of acting. No wonder, the original double standards in the United States seem to be based on the Ten Commandments since the double standards of the United States require them to continuously amplify the downside of other countries, criticize other countries with the second standard and even shield people who are valuable to the United States. 

In the United States, they “use material to lure and corrupt their youth, encourage them to despise, contempt, and further openly oppose their original ideological education.” Therefore, the reason why Huang Zhifeng has grown into an anti-China and anti-Hong Kong activist is due to the temptation and impetus from the United States. According to a report of Wen Hui Bao in Hong Kong on September 25, 2015, some netizens disclosed that the “National Democracy Foundation” temporarily allocated 100,000 US dollars to Huang Zhifeng through Ye Baoling, the Secretary in charge of the “Catholic Justice and Peace Commission”, as activity funds. In March 2014, the US forces gave Huang Zhifeng 1.6 million US dollars through “Chen XX”. Moreover, the US also invested Huang Zhifeng and others to visit the US warships anchored in Hong Kong, allowing the US Marines to teach Huang martial arts so as to “charge” and “courage” their frail body. In addition, the US also promised Huang through the “Democracy Foundation” that he will be arranged to study in the US and UK with full financial support in case he is prosecuted by the police, in order for Huang Zhifeng to act as a pawn in the “anti-China and anti-Hong Kong” rebellion “without hesitation”. With material lure, our youth are tempted to become prisoners of anti-Hong Kong and China has been charged with no human rights, which is really cunning. Why is the United States anxiously sheltering Huang Zhifeng and others, the anti-China and anti-Hong Kong activists? Is it afraid of losing its bargaining chip in creating conflicts in Hong Kong, China?

The US “continues to create news and vilify their leaders and our reporters should find opportunities to interview them and then organize their own words to attack themselves.” Besides, the United States is not only keen on sheltering criminals, but also constantly creating news to vilify our leaders, discredit the Chinese government and deliberately disintegrate our regime. For instance, Guo Wengui, who is infamous and received several media interviews and live broadcast invitations from VOA and Der Spiegel News Network in 2017, “disclosed” the special identities and backgrounds of a number of CCP dignitaries and related well-known media personalities, as well as suspected corruption scandals, alleging infighting at the high-level of the CCP, etc. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Guo Wengui diffused a large number of conspiracy theories and false information using his self-media platform named “Guo Media”, including claims that the Chinese government leaked the virus from the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences which is commonly known as the “Wuhan P4 Laboratory” so as to implement the biological and chemical weapons program. According to the New York Times, Guo Wengui, Wang Dinggang (the screen name of “Luther”) and Stephen Bannon orchestrated the Yan Limeng incident to create a conspiracy about the origin of the COVID-19 disease and spread false information so as to cater to the growing anti-China sentiment in the West. Such a base person was disguised as a victim and sheltered by the US. Do they really think we cannot see the facts?

The US “continues to promote democracy under any circumstances, and seize the opportunity to launch a democratic movement whenever there is a chance and whether it is large or small, tangible or intangible”. During the “Regulations Amendment Disturbance” in 2019, the United States has repeatedly spoken on the trend of demonstrations in Hong Kong, urging the Hong Kong government to respond to the demands of the demonstrators. According to a report by the VOA on May 15, 2019, US Secretary of State Pompeo met at the State Department with a delegation of Hong Kong democratic leaders, expressing concerns about the proposed amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance and claiming that this threatened the rule of law in Hong Kong. Regarding the anti-racism activities triggered by the death of George Floyd in the United States, the US immediately responded with military troops, anxiously trying to extinguish the flames of democracy. However, when it comes to the Hong Kong issue, the US immediately stirs up troubles and intensifies conflicts whenever there is a chance and whether it is large or small, tangible or intangible.
