(Beijing = Yonhap News) Correspondent Han Jong-koo = China is stepping up its offensive to discredit the United States as the United States designated and shot down a Chinese balloon intruding into its airspace as a ‘reconnaissance balloon’.
It is heading towards a completely different aspect from 10 days ago, when he emphasized seeking cooperation by saying that he welcomed US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln’s visit to China before the balloon was shot down.
On the 12th, the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, criticized in its commentary, “The power of American-style democracy, that it is only an illusion.”
After pointing out monetary politics, political division, social rupture, gap between the rich and poor, racial discrimination, and gun violence as America’s problems, the newspaper said, “American-style democracy only represents the interests of a small number of capitalists,” or “It is increasingly falling into a whirlwind of factional fights.” he criticized.
“It goes without saying that the United States is not an honor student of democracy and is not an example of democracy,” he said. We must face it squarely and do what is helpful to the people of the United States and the people of the world.”
Previously, in a commentary on the 1st, before the balloon shooting down incident, the People’s Daily emphasized mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and coexistence of cooperation toward the United States, arguing that the United States and China should find a way to get along properly.
Accordingly, People’s Daily’s sudden criticism of American-style democracy seems to be in the same context as the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a report titled ‘Current State of Drug Problem in the United States’ on the 9th.
It is interpreted as a turning point to create public opinion in the international community criticizing the United States amid deepening tensions between the two countries over the reconnaissance balloon issue.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the United States of being the country with the most serious drug problem in the world in a report on drugs, insisting that “the United States must protect the people’s right to life and health.”
China reacted strongly to a report by a US investigative journalist that the US had blown up an undersea gas pipeline linking Russia and Germany, and used it as a material for attacking the US.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Maoning said at a regular briefing on the 10th, “If true, this is unacceptable and must be condemned.”
