Chapter 593: Giving Back to the Other in His Way (II)

In front of Qiu Fatzi were the ambassadors of Canada, Australia and New Zealand to the United Kingdom.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Qiu Fatzi blushed and said angrily: "Didn't I say it, don't mess with the Chinese Yankees during this time, why don't you listen?"

Yesterday's meeting of the League of Nations in Geneva, the Chinese representative slapped the table at the meeting and declared: The anti-China and insulting incidents in Malaya, Australia, India, South Africa, New Zealand, and Canada are absolutely intolerable, and if the governments in these places cannot take care of it, we will take care of it ourselves.

The British delegates were so frightened that their hairs stood on end, and the German delegates laughed straight out loud. So he hurriedly contacted China and reported the problem back.

In fact, Qiu Fatzi saw these things on the TV news some time ago. In the eyes of Qiu Fatzi, who was born in a powerful family, isn't it just a few Chinese **** who have been beaten? This can also be regarded as a matter? During this time, he was busy cleaning up his stalls, and he also had the important task of dragging the United States into the water, so how could he have the time to care about this.

Had it not been for the urgent telegram sent back yesterday by the representative of the League of Nations to inform China of China's reaction, and at the same time sent someone to send photos and videotapes of the incident, he would have forgotten about it. To be honest, although he had seen all the photos and videotapes, he didn't think anything of it. Of course, this has something to do with his origins. As the top nobleman in the UK, in his opinion, isn't it just a few **** who have been beaten and need to make such a fuss?

He was surprised that China's reaction would suddenly be so violent. But if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, he is also a professional politician for many years, and of course he understands that China is deliberately finding fault. What kind of police beating people, the police inaction, Du Nyima is just an excuse. But now people's excuses are "there are pictures and truths", oh, and "there are videos and truths", and you can't get past it if you want to be sloppy.

At this juncture, there must be no conflict with China. So early this morning, Qiu Fatzi immediately called the ambassadors of the three countries to ask about the situation, as for South Africa and the countries of the subcontinent, it was not the point. Anyway, these two or five cubs can't help, but the sons are different, their army is the main force, so this problem must be solved.

Hearing Qiu Fatzi's questioning, the three of them behaved differently, and the Canadian ambassador had the most calm expression, because things in British Columbia, Canada were relatively easy to handle. The Chinese are nothing more than wanting to buy land, and there is also taxes.

The Canadian ambassador shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Your Excellency, the laws of our Canadian provinces are different, and the problem of British Columbia is that the laws of the province are not up to date, and they seem to have forgotten that the current China is no longer the China ruled by the Tatar dynasty in the nineteenth century." Some of their laws do change ......"

"What happened in B.C. this time is just a minor conflict, and I'm sure we'll settle it soon. ”

Many people have the impression that Canada should be a friendly country that is "harmless to humans and animals", but it must be pointed out that this impression is mainly due to the image of Bethune and a certain cross talk actor. In fact, Canada is completely different, and they can be regarded as an old anti-China country with a long history. Many people know that the United States has the Chinese Exclusion Act, but Canada also has this thing, and Canada's Chinese Exclusion Act was introduced in 1923, and it was only partially repealed in 1947, and it was not completely repealed until 1971.

And Canada's "Chinese Exclusion Act" is even more nonsense, the United States only prohibits ordinary immigrants, and it is not forbidden for Chinese to study and do business in the United States, but the awesome thing about Canada is that they prohibit all Chinese from entering the country, whether they are immigrants or studying and doing business, they are not allowed, even Chinese with British nationality. During the most severe 20 years of the Act (1923-1947), all Chinese people wanted to set foot on Canadian soil, unless they had received special approval.

And before Canada's Chinese Exclusion Act was introduced, there were a lot of discriminatory bills. For example, in 1886, Canada passed a new immigration bill that imposed a $50 poll tax on Chinese immigrants. In 1900, the poll tax was extended to all Chinese, regardless of whether they were immigrants or not, as long as they went to Canada, and the amount was increased to 100 Canadian dollars. Three years later, the poll tax was increased to $500. At that time, one Canadian dollar was roughly equivalent to one dollar, and 500 Canadian dollars were equivalent to 706 taels of silver, or 980 silver dollars. Almost that as long as the Chinese want to go to Canada during that period, no matter what you do, you first have to pay 1,000 yuan for "everyone to take" as a ticket. It should be pointed out that this poll tax is specifically for the Chinese, and there are no other ethnic groups. The world dares to charge ticket money so shamelessly, that is, "everyone takes" this one.

The most important thing is that the exclusion of Chinese in the United States is mainly from the lower classes, and that is because of the problem of jobs. In fact, the upper echelons of the United States do not want to exclude Chinese, and the capitalists like cheap workers the most. Canada's first prime minister, John MacDonald, also known as Canada's "father of the nation," was the representative, and he was even rated as the "number one anti-Chinese element" by some later Western media. Raising the poll tax on the Chinese was the beginning of the MacDonald administration.

And this dude's discrimination is limited to Chinese, he is harsh on Chinese, but open to other ethnic groups. In the spring of 1885, John MacDonald passed a bill in Parliament that expanded the range of people who had the right to vote in Canada at the time. The bill mentions that most men in Canada, including those who do not own property, have the right to vote, and that single women and indigenous people in Canada are also covered by the provisions.

And when it was implemented in British Columbia, MacDonald added a provision specifically to exclude Chinese immigrants. In other words, Chinese Canadians in British Columbia, regardless of their gender or wealth, had no right to vote, and British Columbia was the province with the largest Chinese population in Canada at that time. Someone asked MacDonald if he wanted to apply the same add-on to black immigrants, and he replied no. "Black people in Canada know the country and have social value," he explained. This clause directly classifies the Chinese as fourth-class citizens.

As for the prohibition of Chinese people from buying royal land, discriminatory taxes, different punishments for the same crime, etc., there is no need to say.

According to later statistics, from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, there were more than 100 Chinese exclusion bills passed in British Columbia alone. It can be seen how "friendly" this country is.

This kind of discrimination is also the result of the state being too weak and the people too capable. If the country is too weak, there will be no one to cover it, and it will naturally be bullied. And if the people are too capable, they will make these white skins feel threatened and unable to sleep, so they will naturally intensify the exclusion and persecution of the Chinese. As for the Black Silk, Indian, and Third Brother, it was the whiteskins who felt that they were not a threat at all, so they might as well show their demeanor.

Of course, on this plane, because of China's open-minded rise, "everyone takes" naturally does not dare to engage in the "Chinese Exclusion Act", and even the United States next door was abolished in 1910. However, although there is no "Chinese Exclusion Act" in the original time and space, they have not immediately abolished some of the previous policies, especially some local policies.

I have to say that the inertia of human thinking is still very stubborn. Although the bigwigs of these countries are well aware that China has changed dramatically, their middle- and lower-class thinking is still the same, or they know it but refuse to believe it, so as to maintain their fragile glass hearts.

In particular, the most anti-Chinese province in British Columbia, they only lowered the "ticket" money to 100 Canadian dollars, and there are still discriminatory taxes and restrictions prohibiting Chinese people from buying royal land. This time the things in Canada are caused by these reasons.

In fact, because of the rise of China, a large number of people were needed to build a country, so many overseas Chinese in North America returned to China in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In fact, there are not many people who stay in Canada, and there are very few Chinese who immigrated here after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the reactionaries who run there are basically reactionaries who are afraid of being liquidated, so although these local discriminatory bills exist, the impact is not great, and although the Chinese government knows about it, Wen Desi did not react too violently to this out of some consideration.

It was not until after World War I, according to the agreement between China and Britain, that China could open mines and factories in Canada and bring people from China to work, that a large number of Chinese poured into Canada, but they were not immigrants, they only worked there. As a result, the remnants of discriminatory policies and decrees from the past have begun to attract attention.

If you get to the bottom of it, it is no longer out of discrimination to play like this. On the one hand, there are reasons for inertia and inertia, but more often there is a kind of fear. They were afraid that the Chinese would dye it yellow, so they did not welcome the Chinese. What if everyone turned into another Dutch East Indies?

Although there was an agreement between China and Britain, according to the Westminster Act of December 11, 1930, Canada and other Dominions had become independent sovereign states. Besides, why should the British worry about the Chinese?

As for Australia and New Zealand, the situation is similar. The "White Australia Policy" has been Australia's national policy since 1880, and guarding against Chinese is like guarding against thieves. Now because of the rise of China, the kangaroos dare not do it like the original time and space, but now there is another issue of interests.

"Your Excellency, this is a slander!" the kangaroo ambassador was the angriest of the three.

"That video is taken out of context! The cause is cut, the truth is not like this!" The kangaroo ambassador shouted angrily: "Yes, the police did it, but the fact is that the damned Chinese attacked the police first! He kicked a policeman's ass hard, and the police moved out of anger! But not on the video!"
