Early this morning, August 6, 1928, the mainstream media around the world reported in detail the demonstrations that took place in Hong Kong yesterday. Mixed reviews.

As a newspaper that began to be published when Chen Shao made his fortune, China Daily has become the most famous newspaper media in China after more than ten years of development. There is also a certain number of readers in the world, especially James's operation in the United States, and China Daily often appears on the streets of the United States.

As one of the mainstream media in China at this time, the declaration also has a detailed report. The content of the two newspapers was similar to what was said on yesterday's broadcast, and Chen Shao's speech was also placed on the first page.

China Daily: "In the early morning of August 5, tens of thousands of compatriots in Hong Kong gathered in front of the Hong Kong Governor's Palace and demanded that the Governor grant them their due rights. When the procession reached the entrance of the Governor's Palace, a policeman from the Governor's Palace opened fire on the crowd and a bullet hit a Chinese. After rescue, fortunately there was no life-threatening situation. There was a slight commotion at the scene, but fortunately there was no stampede.

According to the information we received, there was no excesses on the part of the marching crowd at that time, and everyone was very restrained. How can we not be shocked when such an incident happens, we must know that Hong Kong is also our land, and Hong Kong compatriots just want to get the respect they deserve. But it turned out to be the muzzle of the gun, is this the so-called Western civilized society, this is the Western propaganda of equality for all, this is the so-called freedom of the West.

No, this is Chiguoguo's brutal rule, this is bloody barbarism. If we Chinese want to gain freedom and rights, we cannot expect the so-called Western civilization, but should rely on our hands to create. …… Regarding the Hong Kong incident, Chen Shao, supreme leader of the Chinese Provisional Government, hopes to start a dialogue with the British side to discuss the Hong Kong issue. ”

Declaration: "......, we Chinese can only be bullied if we are united. ”

The Times: "......, the British side is sorry for this accident. It is also hoped that the Chinese side will exercise restraint and jointly negotiate a way to resolve the issue.

Britain has already made a statement on the Hong Kong issue, and Hong Kong was one of the Treaty of Nanking signed between the British and Qing governments in those years, and it is undeniable that Britain has sovereignty over Hong Kong. There is no territorial dispute at all, and the British side hopes that China will remain rational and not deliberately provoke a war. The British side agreed to hold talks with the Chinese side on the misunderstanding. ”

French newspaper Figaro: "......, I hope that both sides can sit down and talk with peace of mind, and I also hope that China can abide by the previous treaties and not make disappointing actions." ”

German and American newspapers were much more pertinent, and did not have the same threatening words as Britain and France. However, compared to Germany, which is a little gloating, the United States is the most prosaic, but it does not report from the beginning to the end, except for hoping that both sides will exercise restraint and avoid conflict, there is no other word.

Also early this morning, at an international conference, Britain demanded that several member states impose economic sanctions on China. However, it was clearly not very effective, and with the exception of France, the other countries did not pay any attention to the British proposal. The United States even looks like it doesn't come to me for anything.

As a matter of fact, as early as yesterday, Wu Jintang, who is the minister of commerce, arrived in the United States, and he visited the United States in the name of the Chinese minister of commerce, and was seriously treated by the top level of the United States. The United States wants to establish a commercial relationship with the new China more than it has interests in Britain.

According to the survey conducted by the United States during this period, the results shocked everyone, and the economic aggregate of southwest China has surpassed that of Italy, a second-class power, and is close to Britain and France. And it was silent, if it hadn't been exposed by the war against Japan, I'm afraid no one would have believed it. The United States has always wanted to trade with China and regard China as a new economic partner in the Pacific Rim. With its rapid growth, huge population, abundant resources, and now an industrial base that has begun to take shape, many American economists believe that China will become a new and powerful economy after the Soviet Union and Germany. Although it is not comparable to that of the United States, it can accelerate the economic growth of the United States. The old East needs to be modernized, and a huge new market can be found in the United States for its excess capacity and huge investment capacity.

Wu Jintang's visit to the United States this time was treated with high standards, mainly because of Wu Jintang's status as Minister of Commerce, and at the same time he brought as many as 10 major projects, hoping to cooperate with the United States. Compared with the huge economic temptation, the United States naturally knows what to choose. And there is another point, the United States does not have much interest in China, except for the concessions, there are no colonies or anything like that. When Germany promised to return the concessions, the United States also expected that the Chinese side would definitely recover these so-called colonies and concessions, and the United States was also mentally prepared for this. Rather than how to defend those concessions, the United States is more interested in how much benefit the United States can get back in this matter.

There is a saying in Western society: there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

In Chinatowns in the United States, in recent months, the Chinese here have deeply felt that everything is different. Some Americans are much more polite, and there are a lot fewer piglets that were originally open-mouthed. This is not only felt by Chinese people in Chinatown, but also by Chinese people all over the United States. At that time, although the information was not as developed as that of later generations, the ability to circulate information was also very fast. The Sino-Japanese War was the first major war after World War I, and it was reported in detail by various newspapers in the United States, plus special propaganda by the China Daily. Now the Americans also know that this war in Asia was won by China, and they also forced Japan to cede the islands. Overnight, the status of the Chinese was greatly improved, while the status of the Japanese continued to decline.

This is the reality, and now China is crowned the first in Asia, getting rid of the name of the sick man of East Asia. Something that is ingrained in the American psyche is subtly moving in the opposite direction.

Just today, yesterday's reports appeared in newspapers in various regions, and Chinatown was boiling again. The first boiling was because the Japanese were defeated, and it was a boiling of joy and joy. This time it was because of the British act, anger and resentment. And I don't know where the news came from that the country intended to take back the concession and Hong Kong, which had been forcibly occupied by the British. Regardless of whether the matter is true or not, this news alone is enough to boost morale, and the fact that the China Daily also proposed that Chen Shao, the supreme leader of China, wants to start a dialogue with Britain on the Hong Kong issue, virtually proves that this argument has a high degree of credibility.

If the West is a combination of anger, arrogance, surprise, and schadenfreude. The Chinese people around the world are very encouraged by this kind of action to reclaim Hong Kong. A kind of strong declaration from the motherland has made the Chinese who have been uprooted from their homeland for many years and have suffered from racial discrimination see the dawn of the prosperity of the motherland.

Various Chinese gatherings are held in many places, especially Chinatown, the largest gathering place for Chinese in the United States. On the one hand, they condemned Britain, France, and other countries for forcing China to sign a large number of unequal treaties in the past 100 years. They even launched a donation campaign again, and just like the revolutionary activities of the motherland before them, they generously donated money and actively donated money, just to support the motherland far away in the East, just for that glimmer of rejuvenation.

A donation declaration was soon hung up: for the common nation, for the common motherland, for the rise of the Chinese. We just need to buy one less dress, one less pair of shoes, one less car, one more day's work, and one more drop of sweat. The motherland will be able to produce one more bullet, one more shell, one more truck, one more airplane. When the people are strong, the country is strong, and although we are overseas, we all have a patriotic enthusiasm. We are concerned about the motherland, China we have never forgotten, no matter how far we go, we have the same blood in our bodies, we are all sons and daughters of China, and we are all descendants of the dragon.

Compared with overseas Chinese, Chinese in China feel it more deeply.

What is the significance of Hong Kong in their hearts, from the beginning of the First Opium War to the present, from the "Treaty of Nanjing" to the present, how much suffering the country has experienced, Pan Zhu is difficult to write.

Defeat after defeat, even if it is victorious, it is no different from defeat. The battle between China and France is proof that the blood of the great sons and daughters spilled in the jungle in exchange for a difficult victory, but who knows that it is once again a deep shame.

The shame of the Eight-Nation Coalition seems to be just yesterday, not to mention the looted finances, the heinous crimes committed by the coalition forces alone are unforgettable. Dagukou has become an empty city, there are only 100,000 people left in Tianjin, and the whole of Beijing is full of mourning.

You don't see those Chinese workers who were trafficked around, and they died and couldn't see their relatives and the motherland again, and their bodies were gone. All that remains for posterity are countless mass graves to tell the story of today's sorrows.

You don't see that there was a standing at the gate of the French Concession in Shanghai back then: Chinese and dogs were not allowed to enter. It is an unscrupulous trampling on the human dignity of the Chinese people.

Conclude one unequal treaty after another.

Ceded piece after piece of land.

The land is full of hunger, selling sons and daughters, hungry and cold, and there is no hope of food and clothing.

The whole nation has been plunged into decades of dark ages, with endless suffering and no more light.

However, the rise of the powerful southwest has engaged in people's livelihood and construction, developing military strength externally, and serving the country and the people internally. Under his rule, the people not only lived a life of food and clothing, but also unified the north and the south. Defeat Japan strongly, reclaim the lost land, and force Japan to lease the islands.

They may not be able to understand politics, they may not be able to understand the meaning of industrial technology, they may not be able to understand this and that policy. But they know who fed them, who gave them confidence, who made them straighten their rockers, who gave them free education, and who gave them hope. They don't care who is in charge, what they care about is who is doing the facts, making the facts for their food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and making the facts for their peace.

Now China is going to reclaim Hong Kong.

Will they still bow to the West and give in? Will the land still be ceded? Will they still kneel on the ground and be ravaged?

"Say no to the Great Powers!"
