An Era Where Truth and Falsehood Intertwine Unrecognizably

An Era Where Truth and Falsehood Intertwine Unrecognizably –
Short Commentary by Johnson Choi, April 8, 2026, Hawaii 真假信息交織難辨的時代. 蔡永強短評 4月8日2026年 夏威夷

In this era where truth and falsehood are interwoven and hard to distinguish, discussing the current situation, economy, and financial issues requires a grasp of both the actual conditions and the historical context. However, an individual’s stance on national identity often leads to completely different judgments.

Over the past fifty years, I have observed a recurring phenomenon: those ethnic Chinese who do not identify themselves as Chinese often harbor strong antipathy toward those committed to telling the China story well, and even readily label them as “spreading false information.” Ironically, most of these people know nothing about Chinese history and are indifferent to China’s development over the past seventy years.

在這個真假信息交織難辨的時代，要討論當前的局勢、經濟與金融議題，必須同時掌握現實狀況與歷史脈絡。然而，個人對國家認同的立場，往往導致截然不同的判斷。

過去五十年，我觀察到一個反覆出現的現象：那些不認同自己是中國人的華人，往往對致力於講好中國故事的人抱持強烈反感，甚至動輒貼上「散播假消息」的標籤。諷刺的是，這些人大多對中國歷史一無所知，對過去七十年來中國的發展歷程也漠不關心.
