Malaysia's external communications have basically been cut off by the Chinese army, so that foreign journalists and diplomats in Malaysia are now as anxious as ants on a hot pot. There is obviously big news that is shocking, but they still have the first priority in their hands. The battlefield information in hand was unable to be disseminated to the country.
A group of journalists attacking the United States surrounded an officer who was temporarily appointed as the spokesperson of the Chinese Humanitarian Dispatch Force in Malaysia. They did not want to ask any questions at this moment. Instead, they shouted anxiously: "Mr. Spokesperson, you guys The act of banning us from sending news to the country is a serious persecution of press freedom, and we strongly protest and condemn it!¡±
The spokesperson looked helpless but said solemnly: "Please ask this journalist friend to clarify the facts before speaking. I believe many of you have seen that Kuala Lumpur's communication facilities have unfortunately been damaged, and our engineering staff are working hard to repair them. , please be patient, we have absolutely no intention to hinder the press freedom of various news media. Of course, we also call on all journalist friends to report this matter fairly and objectively, and expose the ugly face and face of the Malaysian government to peace-loving people around the world. The atrocities of some people.¡±
A reporter immediately said: "We are also willing to publish news that exposes the ugly practices of the Malaysian government and local people. So, can you let us borrow the communication equipment of your Chinese media? I know that the news interview team you sent yesterday is casting a net everywhere in Kuala Lumpur. , since they can communicate, we should be able to too!"
The spokesman shook his head and said: "It's useless for you to tell me about this matter. I am the spokesperson of the military, not the spokesperson of the media. If you have any requests, go to them directly. However, our country's media uses satellite communications. Even if they agree to it, they will still have to go through the first level of transit. As for whether they will charge you a fee, I don¡¯t know. "
An Associated Press reporter gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we charge one million dollars, we must get the news out!"
The spokesperson was serious, but everyone who heard this later smiled. This was another good opportunity to rip off a big player.
Although these international news giants cannot get first-hand news information from Malaysia for the time being, they are not stupid. China's major news media, including print media, radio and television, and even online media that have just launched, have many information is available.
So a series of large world-class news agencies such as Reuters, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, and TASS began to quote various news materials published by Chinese media, including pictures, full news texts, video materials, etc., and took whatever they had. .
In addition to the fact that front-line reporters are unable to send back first-hand information, the Chinese media has shown refreshing and even surprising news planning capabilities, which also surprised Western reporters and news agencies who look down on Chinese media. At this time, it is not the same as in the 21st century. Confucius Institutes are very popular abroad. Studying China and the Ministry of Culture of China is not considered outstanding knowledge. Even if the major news agencies can report first-hand information, they can¡¯t cover things that are deeper, more authoritative, and more detailed. It cannot be presented because foreign experts, scholars, or relevant people cannot explain some of its contents.
For example, the historical origins of Chinese colonization in Southeast Asia, and the related situations of Chinese anti-Chinese in Southeast Asian countries, including video data and direct reports of those who experienced it, formed the core of the anti-Chinese movement in Malaysia, and related situations of racial conflicts, etc. Coupled with the deployment and dispatch of military forces on China's side, how many troops were sent to the local area, how short it took China to decide to send troops, and what other possible methods China might use in the future.
Western journalists are all confused, but their Chinese counterparts can tell them, so they pay a considerable amount of benefits (reprinting fees). They directly translate Chinese news and bring it to their own news audiences. Everyone is happy.
Of course, the happiest person is Qi Yiming himself.
The pride of the Chinese media has little to do with him, but Qi Yiming actually enjoys the sweetness of having the right to speak and the right to know. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, channels are king, and I will never be deceived if I am honest. When foreign media heavily quote news reports from China, it is inevitable that someone will choose sides.question. Because when the Chinese media started writing news, they took their own position, that is, Malaysians are unforgivable, and the Malaysian Chinese compatriots are miserable and worthy of sympathy.
In addition, a country like the United States has just experienced the influence of the black civil rights movement. Equality and freedom are the core values ??of the founding of the United States. In order to save its compatriots and to fight for racial equality and democracy and human rights, China's image is naturally demonized as before. socialist countries are different.
Qi Yiming may not care about other people's opinions, but it is also very annoying to give international public opinion to others without fighting for it. He comes from an era when, although China's comprehensive national strength has changed from what it used to be, the right to speak is still in the hands of Western countries led by the United States. Some of their lies are taken seriously. They have obviously exercised all kinds of restraint in the South China Sea dispute, let alone used it. Any military method can also be described as pressing forward step by step and arbitrarily threatening weak countries. In short, if you are a villain, you have to be one if you are not.
There are no reports defending Malaysia yet. What people see is why the anti-Chinese riots occurred. The unequal racial policies coupled with anti-Chinese outbreaks that break out from time to time have even more complicated the situation. The authorities in Kuala Lumpur, the capital, have become a shameful clown.
There is an atmosphere of sympathy for the Malaysian Chinese among the people in the United States, but the U.S. government cannot really be consistent with their public opinion. In fact, when China's PLA entered Malaysia in a large scale, the Americans were already aware of this phenomenon. Their military base in the Philippines has a radar station monitoring the South China Sea. It is impossible for such a large-scale air force operation not to be discovered by the United States. From the beginning of the military operation, China had no intention of covering it up. Even the news media Shan followed the report and Washington naturally knew what happened.
But so far, more than a day has passed since China sent troops, but neither the White House in Washington nor the U.S. Department of State has issued a formal statement. Of course, there is nothing on the surface, but privately, the US authorities are no different from their reporters. They are ants on the hot pot, including the Pentagon, the White House, Langley, the Department of State, and the U.S. Department of State. The institutions have begun to spin.
President Reagan himself was not a good-tempered person. The president, who was a lifeguard and actor, was not a son of a wealthy political family. Moreover, even after he was elected president, he often lost his temper and caused laughter. At this moment, he grabbed his tie and loosened it. Song, scolded, "Damn Chinese, don't they know what calm means? They just settled the dispute with the Soviets, and now they are 'invading' Malaysia on a large scale. I bet the Soviets are laughing behind their backs now." We¡ªbecause we found such an idiot as an ally!¡±
Secretary of State Shultz also recently returned from China. He shook his head helplessly, but still said a few good words, "Mr. President, although the Chinese's actions are hasty, from their own standpoint, they are understandable. If it is our United States, The expatriates were massacred abroad, and they were able to send troops to control the situation in less than 12 hours. Whether it is a Democratic or Republican government that has done this, its support will definitely increase. "
Reagan¡¯s face turned dark, ¡°But they are a centralized and authoritarian country, a dictatorship.¡±
Schultz could only argue: "But they are different from most centralized and authoritarian countries. It is not entirely appropriate to call them dictatorship. At least this country cares about public opinion even more than some so-called democratic countries."
He paused and continued to say to Reagan: "We believe that this military operation will not evolve into a long-term invasion like the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. China does not have the ability to do such a thing. Although it is not exclusive, They have plans to show off their force and strength, but their original intention is probably to save their own overseas Chinese. "
Reagan scolded: ¡°But there are not many people with Chinese nationality there, basically they are all Malaysian Chinese.¡±
¡°It¡¯s a pity that the Chinese themselves can¡¯t tell the difference. In fact, people in most countries can¡¯t tell the difference.¡±
Reagan calmed down for a moment and then asked, "How is the embassy's questioning of them going?"
Schultz replied, "They are basically official articles, which are very similar to what they have published in the news media before. They are just going to save their compatriots. They have no substantive malice towards Malaysia, let alone the idea of ??invading their territory." ¡±
Reagan asked again: "What about the uninhabited islands in the South China Sea?"
Defense Minister Wen Pingge explained, "The Chinese Navy has been secretly operating in the South China Sea since a month ago. Our reconnaissance force found that they used an artificial object that was half ship and half building, towed to the islands and reefs and then landed on them. The point has become a bunker fortification, and the facilities are very complete. From a military perspective, it is very important for our US Navy.The entry and exit does not pose any obstruction or threat, but it does a fatal blow to the actions of the surrounding small countries in the South China Sea. "
Schultz added that "China has inherited the maritime boundaries drawn by Chiang Kai-shek, but in the past they were not able to control such a far distance. Now they are taking actions, which is indeed worthy of our vigilance. But similarly, their scope of activities in the South China Sea The increase will also help contain the Soviet Red Navy in Cam Ranh Bay and help us tightly lock the Soviets within the first island chain in the southwest Pacific.¡±
Reagan was a little irritated, "What a mess, Mr. Secretary, how do you think we should face these things now, including island disputes in the South China Sea, including Malaysia?"
Schultz replied: "The best way is to wait and see how the situation develops. Don't rush to say something with obvious meaning. It is most appropriate to say something like 'hope for a peaceful solution and a bilateral ceasefire' now." "
Reagan nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it this way, and strengthen communication with the capital. Their actions without notifying us will destroy the mutual trust between our alliances, so we need to advise them."
