Protect our red flag

Whenever you turn on your TV, China is all over the place. “China is responsible for the spiking oil price, China undermines the international efforts to promote human rights”…Now , China’s population growth drives US food price up??? Because of Bush’s administration’s ridiculous policy that largely promotes ethanol, people shifted the corn production to produce ethanol. Now the effect came out and poor people finally cannot afford the regular food. Then the media started to blame China. Economists and analysts do talk about revising the policy, but please do not drag China in all the time and we should not be the “scapegoat” for everything. You have problems. You need to fix them.

The second news I saw was “ Red flag on Mars”, of course it is talking about China’s space technology. The military analysts were saying that China would gain the superior over the U.S. in 2020 and they push the presidential hopefuls to have new space strategy. I am worried that whether Deng Xiaoping’s modest strategy would work under the circumstance that we are in fact exposed to this crazy world and millions of eyes are watching you everyday. But I do believe that we are way far from confronting the western world directly and I believe cooperative attitude while cautiously adopting their advice would help us develop ourselves. National security is never as urgent and important as now, however it comes from different aspects like economic security, financial security, and information security. Attacking is never as secretly as nowadays as well. New weapons like ideology influence, culture immerse, international financial speculations, etc, are not so obviously identified but more powerful than a war. Keep in mind Soviet Union’s collapse, it is always our alert and I do not want the tragedy would ever fall on our nation.

China needs a great number of intelligent people, not only engineers, scientists, but also social workers and diplomats. The same time with flying the red flags on the Mars, China needs us to play with western media and the U.S. politicians to gain support from international world and protect us from unnecessary attacking.
