China comprises of 56 races/minorities, Uighurs is Chinese. Tibetan is Chinese. All Chinese are equal under CPC. It is the law of the land. In fact minorities in China are given preferential treatments like they can have as many kids as they want even under China’s one child policy. 中國是由56個民族組成，維吾爾族是中國人。 藏族是中國人。 在中國共產黨管治之下，所有中國人在法律下一律平等。 這是中國的法律。 實際上，即使在中國限制一名子女政策下，中國的少數民族也得到了優惠待遇，例如他們可以生多少個孩子也可以.
But for United States, since the founding of the Republic in 1776, all People of Colors are considered as 2nd class citizens till today. 但是對於美國來說，自1776年建國以來，到今天為止，所有有色人種都被視為二等公民。
All you need is to look at what happened to African Americans with the latest slogan “Black Lives Matters” also known as BLM. 您所要做的就是以最新的口號“黑人的命也是命”（也稱為BLM）你可以隨便查看非洲裔美國人發生了什麼, 他們是多悲劇的一羣人.
US politicians demonize Chinese during COVID19 resulting in 1,000s of attacks targeting Asians and Chinese, many got killed or murdered, the new slogan following BLM is ALM “All Lives Matters” or “Asian Lives Matters”. 在新冠病毒期間，美國政客不斷妖魔化美國華人, 中國人和中國導致針對亞洲人和中國人的數千起襲擊事件，不小被殺害或被謀殺，BLM之後的新口號是ALM “所有人的命也是命” 或“亞洲人的命也是命”.
It is therefore rather sinister for those attempts to deflect their own crimes onto others or other nations. 因此，那些企圖將自己和自己國家的罪行轉移到其他國家或其他人的行為是相當危險的, 其心可誅, 天理不容.

Asia Times: Stark contradiction at root of US-China conflict – As the Chinese dreamers come up against the US insistence on maintaining hegemony, who will prevail? By JOHN WALSH MAY 28, 2021
Do China and the US have fundamental goals that constitute a contradiction, that is, goals so profoundly at odds with one another that the goals cannot co-exist? Unfortunately, the answer is yes.
Such a contradiction means that one side must abandon its aims if a disastrous conflict is not to ensue. Which country should step back? Is there a moral, ethical or common-sense basis for making that call, a basis on which humankind can readily agree?
What are these contradictory goals?
China’s overwhelming objective is clearly economic development, a policy to which it has hewed closely and which it declares for its future. That is no surprise; it is the dream of every developing nation. In this case, it is “The Chinese Dream.”
If such goals were no more than words on paper, there would be no problem. But China is succeeding, as is widely acknowledged now.
Its economy surpassed the US in terms of gross domestic product (purchasing power parity) in November of 2014 according to the International Monetary Fund and is still growing fast. More than 700 million Chinese have been brought out of poverty, with extreme poverty eliminated in 2020.
The middle class now comprises more than 400 million people. The retail market is enormous, and the e-commerce market by far the world’s largest. China is the world’s largest manufacturer and trader.
According to the World Bank, China was seventh from the top of the upper-middle-income group as of 2020 and poised to enter the ranks of the 59 countries in the high-income group. Beijing has a set a new goal, a standard of living enjoyed by the most prosperous countries in the West to be achieved by 2049, the centennial of the birth of the People’s Republic of China.
With this in mind, let’s turn to the American side of the equation.
The US has a long history of expansion and imperialism, with the inevitable appeals to exceptionalism and racism. However, the ambition of world dominance, global hegemony, emerged consciously among the US foreign-policy elite in 1941 before the country’s entry to World War II, as historian Stephen Wertheim documents in his 2020 book Tomorrow the World: The Birth of US Global Supremacy.
The magazine magnate Henry Luce expressed the idea in his 1941 essay “The American Century,” in which he enjoined the US “to accept wholeheartedly our duty and our opportunity as the most powerful nation in the world and in consequence to exert upon the world the full impact of our influence for such purposes as we see fit and by such means as we see fit.”
After World War II when the US colossus looked down at the rest the world devastated by the conflict, we heard a similar sentiment from the late diplomat and historian George Kennan, considered perhaps the principal architect of postwar US foreign policy. In Volume I of Foreign Relations of the United States, published in 1948, he wrote:
“Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia.… Our real task in the coming period is to … maintain this position of disparity…. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality.…. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction.”
More recently and equally starkly after the end of the Cold War, the Wolfowitz Doctrine was enunciated in 1992 by Paul Wolfowitz, then undersecretary of defense for public policy under US president George H W Bush. It can be summed up in a single sentence: “We must maintain the mechanism for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role.”
China fits the definition of a “potential competitor”; it not only “aspires” to a larger regional role and global role but in fact has already attained it. By the Wolfowitz principle, China must not only be “contained” but returned to a non-competitor status by whatever “mechanism” that the US can devise.
And so we come to the basic contradiction. The US insists that it be the world’s greatest power, an unassailable hegemon. This means that it must be the No 1 economic power, since all power ultimately derives from economic power.
Now assume that China’s per capita GDP is equal to that of an advanced Western country, the goal of China by 2049. Take the US as an example. Since China’s population is about four times that of the US, then it will have a total national GDP four times that of the US. The US will then be far from the dominant power; the Wolfowitz Doctrine will go up in smoke.
This does not mean that the US will lapse into penury or even that its living standard will be compromised. Indeed, there is no reason that the US cannot continue to be an increasingly prosperous country. In that sense, the contradiction between the US and China is not a conflict of interests between the American people and Chinese people. But it is a contradiction between the US governing elite and 1.4 billion Chinese dreamers.
Even now with China on a par with the US economically in GDP (PPP) terms the US cannot operate as a hegemon or as an unchallenged world power.
How can the US maintain its ambition of hegemony? Simply put, China’s development must be halted or reversed. Thus the drive for US superiority is a war on the aspirations of the vast Chinese population, not simply a war on the Chinese state. Will China’s people, nearly 20% of the global population, passively accept this fate?
How then are we to look at the China-US contradiction in moral or ethical terms? Given the US goal of hegemony versus the Chinese dream of a Western standard of living, which has the greater claim on the support of decent humans everywhere? The 1.4 billion Chinese dreamers or a tiny US governing elite?

演員兼職業摔跤手約翰塞納在稱台灣為國家後向中國粉絲道歉 Actor and professional wrestler John Cena has apologized to fans in China after he called Taiwan a country
Bevin Chu: MY TWO CENTS ON THE JOHN CENA TAIWAN CONTROVERSY
John Cena is one of the good guys. He is a Sinophile. A “Panda Hugger”. He has diligently made an effort to learn Chinese. He has even acquired a heartfelt liking for Lao Gan Ma chili sauce.
His comment about Taiwan was almost certainly not malicious. He is a professional wrestler, not an anti-China political activist, even less a political analyst.
He is not Richard Gere. He is not Serpentza. He is not Laowhy. His comment, while mistaken, was merely the result of a professional wrestler’s lack of familiarity with the finer points of the Taiwan independence political minefield.
My recommendation? Everyone should chill and cut the man a break. His apology strikes me as entirely genuine.
“In one interview, I made a mistake,” he said in heavily accented Mandarin Chinese. “I need to say now that this is very, very, very, very, very important. I love and respect China and the Chinese people. I’m very, very sorry. As for my mistake, I really apologize for it.”
China has too few friends among American celebrities as it is. No need to overreact to a good friend’s innocent faux pas.
PS: Instead of venting one’s spleen on Cena, who didn’t mean anything by his faux pas, how about redirecting one’s anger at the rabid Sinophobes heaping scorn upon him for “groveling”. The reason the China-bashers are accusing him of “groveling” is that they sense that his apology was sincere, and from the heart.
ABC News 13 Houston: John Cena says he’s ‘really sorry’ for calling Taiwan a country after backlash from fans in China By Huizhong Wu, Associated Press Wednesday, May 26, 2021
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Actor and professional wrestler John Cena has apologized to fans in China after he called Taiwan a country in a promotional interview for his upcoming film and became the latest celebrity to face the fury of Chinese nationalists.
In a short video posted Tuesday on Chinese social media site Weibo, Cena did not refer to Taiwan or go into much detail about the incident, which occurred earlier this month when he was doing a promotion for “Fast & Furious 9” with Taiwanese media.
“In one interview, I made a mistake,” he said in heavily accented Mandarin Chinese. “I need to say now that this is very, very, very, very, very important. I love and respect China and the Chinese people. I’m very, very sorry. As for my mistake, I really apologize for it.”
In his interview with TVBS, a Taiwanese cable channel, Cena was also speaking in Mandarin when he said Taiwan would be the first “country” to be able to see the film. That led to an uproar in China, which considers the self-governing democracy its own territory to be taken back by force if necessary.
It was unclear if Cena’s apology worked, as many comments on Chinese social media in response to his video were negative. Likewise, Cena was also facing scorn back in the United States, where Sen. Tom Cotton called the apology “pathetic” and others lashed out at him on social media as a “coward.”
Global companies and celebrities seeking to maintain access to the lucrative Chinese market have to tread a fine line on many issues as online nationalistic outrage can spark boycotts.
China has increasingly pressured foreign firms over their statements on Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, the South China Sea and other issues Beijing considers sensitive.
Airlines and other multinational companies have been pushed to refer to Taiwan as a part of China on their websites or risk damage to their business in China.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV cut ties with the NBA for a year in response to a tweet by Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey backing pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, even though the post was quickly deleted.
News about Chloe Zhao, a Chinese director, winning an Oscar was censored in April after old interviews surfaced where she said that she grew up in a place where there were “lies” everywhere.
Brands including Swedish retailer H&M, Adidas and Nike have been targeted for consumer boycotts after state media criticized them for expressing concern about reports of forced labor in China’s western region of Xinjiang.
Meanwhile, “Fast & Furious 9” – the latest in the Hollywood franchise – appeared to be doing well in China despite the uproar. The film has taken in $155 million at the box office in China since it opened on May 21, according to local media reports.
