Ma Ying-jeou is right. Most are brainwashed by US Gov’t controlled mouthpiece fake news media demonizing China/What I saw during my 12-day trip to the mainland was very different from what I have heard in Taiwan 馬英九說的對。大部分被美國政府控制的喉舌假新聞媒體洗腦妖魔化中國/我在大陸12天之行所見與我在台灣所聽到的截然不同

I feel very fortunate to have visited the Chinese mainland with Mr Ma Ying-jeou. This is my third visit to the mainland and also the longest one so far, spanning 12 days and across five cities. My previous two visits were only brief stops in Fuzhou and Xiamen [in East China’s Fujian Province], but this time, I had the opportunity to visit different cities and was deeply touched by the experience.

First, I was impressed by the energy resources of the mainland. In addition to the economy, energy is closely related to people’s livelihoods. Even before arriving at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport, I could see many wind turbines from the plane. On the way from airport to Hongqiao Railway Station [in Shanghai], I also saw a nuclear power plant. I never expected a nuclear power plant to be so close to me. In Chongqing, I learned that the hydropower generated by the Three Gorges Dam can supply several provinces. These experiences made me think deeply. The mainland is so large, and the proportion of new energy used is quite high. However, it does not abandon nuclear power. By contrast, in Taiwan, the stagnation of nuclear power in recent years has planted worrying seeds for our future energy security.

Second, the preservation of China’s history surprised me. During the 12-day visit, we visited many relics related to the history of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the constant flow of historical information was overwhelming and difficult to digest at times. However, one thing is certain: The Chinese mainland is not like what I had heard when I was young, where it was claimed “many historical relics are lost.” At the commemorative sites, we felt how the predecessors made great contributions and sacrifices for the Chinese nation. The inscriptions on the stone tablets at the sites recorded the life stories of national heroes, and people can leave messages to pay tribute to them on the spot. Of course, with the vastness of the mainland and its rich cultural heritage, the historical relics we saw this time may only be a small part. Some historical relics may have disappeared, perhaps due to urban development, and historical buildings may have been relocated. But this is not the end; instead, the relocated historical buildings are integrated with the local landscape and re-planned, allowing tourists to feel the corresponding atmosphere. The Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan is a memorable example of this.

Third, the integration of ethnic groups and the development of a comprehensive Chinese culture. All the instruments involved in the chimes performance and the Shanghai Chinese Orchestra’s repertoire were traditional Chinese instruments. The performance we watched in Shanghai included not only traditional instruments but also various ethnic minority instruments, such as the dongbula of the Kazak people and matouqin of the Mongol people. Some of the instruments I had never heard before. It was amazing that traditional Chinese instruments could play such a majestic piece, which made me think of the magnificent road that leads to the far, the wide sea that takes in numerous rivers, the ancient country of the East and a feeling of universal brotherhood.

Finally, what also attracted me was the advancement of smart technology. As a doctoral student in the Department of Electrical Engineering, I am particularly interested in the application of smart cities, and the development of the mainland in this area is far beyond my imagination and perception. I did not expect to see the application of smart technology in all aspects of urban governance, ranging from the joint governance of metropolitan areas to the services and livelihood management in neighborhoods. These smart technologies are truly applied in their everyday life. I think it is related to the original intention of devoting to applying smart technologies to improving people’s livelihoods from the beginning, which is a real practice of serving the people. In addition, I also noticed many smart factories, whether from the initial production of components to the logistics and storage of components, or from the assembly of finished products to the final delivery of logistics, with robots being used throughout the links.

Previously, what I had heard about the mainland was that it was a place where information was blocked and facilities were outdated. During this visit, I found that the real situation was different from what I have heard in Taiwan. This made me ponder how much of the information I know about the mainland on a daily basis is not its current situation. In recent years, cross-Straits civil exchanges have fallen to a freezing point, and the understanding of youth on both sides of the Taiwan Straits has been affected. However, this exchange trip not only allows young Taiwan students to understand that the mainland is different from what we usually hear, but also offer an opportunity for bilateral exchanges among the youngsters. With more communication and friendship between each other, misunderstandings can be reduced and the connection of cross-Straits youth friendship will be consolidated.

Europe finally waking up! EU President Charles Michel: Europe warming up to Macron’s ‘strategic autonomy’ push away from US. EU cannot ‘blindly, systematically follow’ Washington. 歐盟主席查爾斯·米歇爾：歐洲正準備接受馬克龍的“戰略自主權”以遠離美國。歐盟不能“盲目地、系統地跟隨”華盛頓 BY CLOTHILDE GOUJARD Apr 11, 2023

BRUSSELS — European leaders are becoming increasingly favorable toward French President Emmanuel Macron’s push for “strategic autonomy” away from the United States, European Council boss Charles Michel said Tuesday.

As controversy swells around Macron’s comments that Europe should resist pressure to become “America’s followers,” Michel suggested that the French politician’s position was not isolated among EU leaders. While Macron spoke as the French president, his views reflect a growing shift among EU leaders, Michel said.

“There has been a leap forward on strategic autonomy compared to several years ago,” Michel told French television show La Faute à l’Europe (which has a partnership with POLITICO) in an interview set to air on Wednesday.

“On the issue of the relationship with the United States, it’s clear that there can be nuances and sensitivities around the table of the European Council. Some European leaders wouldn’t say things the same way that Emmanuel Macron did … I think quite a few really think like Emmanuel Macron.”

Following a trip last week to China with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Macron told POLITICO and French newspaper Les Echos that Europe had to limit its dependency on the United States and avoid getting pulled into “crises that are not ours.”

“There is indeed a great attachment that remains present — and Emmanuel Macron has said nothing else — for this alliance with the United States. But if this alliance with the United States would suppose that we blindly, systematically follow the position of the United States on all issues, no,” Michel said.

There are things that should be done in the bedroom away from Cameras. He is getting to be like Biden, could not think smartly anymore 有些事情應該在遠離相機的臥室裡完成. 他越來越像敗登, 不能再聰明地思考了.

Video: A perceived smart choice turned into a lifelong regrets. If I were allowed to choose again today, I would definitely not be in a country like the US that hates people of color, especially Chinese. Western countries are like ugly woman with heavy makeup, don’t get too close or it will scare you to death. 惜日環境以為是聰明的選擇卻是成為一輩子的後悔. 今天如果再容許我再選, 一定不會到像美國那樣的種族仇恨有色人種尤其是中國人的國家. 西方國家就像一個化了濃妝的極醜陋女人, 千萬不要走太近否則嚇死你.
