“Don’t take the Chinese people lightly” (essay)

The Opium War

On September 22, 2023, China's vice president barked, "Don't take the Chinese people lightly." I saw it on NHK TV in Japan. It was such a unique statement that I became interested and decided to search for this man's name on the Internet. However, no information has been released regarding this statement, and it seems that this roar is considered to be a phantom thing. I can't imagine that it was the Chinese government's intention to do this (as the person who made the statement), so I think it was self-regulation by Google and others.

But should we be frightened by this statement? As the vice president said, China has "looked down on other peoples and nations throughout its history." Japan is a typical example of this, being called ``東夷：Toi'' (barbarians of the east), ``倭：Wa'' (dwarfs), and even today is sometimes referred to derogatorily as ``Small Japan.'' Even with Japan's recent ban on seafood imports, there is a clear sense of ``punishing Japan, an unsuspecting barbarian country.''

In this way, to the shock of the Qing Dynasty, which Britain also lightly regarded as a barbarian country, Britain used force to overwhelm them (The Opium War, 1840). For the first time in its history, China experienced great humiliation and felt humbled. From then on, the people must have sworn revenge on Western civilization at a deep level of consciousness.

Well, the background to this statement is probably the process of taking revenge by incorporating Western civilization and expanding its economy and military armament. Of all the countries in the world, I guess it's a country that can't be a normal country. If they are not the best, they won't be satisfied. A country of China-centered thought.

“中国人民を軽く見るな”（エッセイ）

２０２３年９月２２日、中国の副主席が“中国人民を軽く見るな”と吠えた。日本のNHKテレビで見た。実にユニークな発言だったので、私は興味を持ち、NET上でこの男の名前を検索しようとした。ところがこの発言に関して情報は一つも出ておらず、この咆哮は幻のものとされているらしい。それをやったのが中国政府の意向とは（発言当事者としては）考えられないので、googleその他の自己規制であると思われる。

だがこの発言に怯える必要があるのだろうか？副主席はそう言ったが、中国はその歴史において、“他民族、他国家を軽く見てきた”。日本はその典型で、「東夷（東の蛮族）」と呼ばれ、「倭（小人）」と呼ばれ、今でも「小日本」と蔑称されることがある。最近の日本の海産物輸入禁止にせよ、「怪しからぬ蛮国・日本に懲罰を与える」という意識が見え隠れする。

このやり方で、イギリスも蛮国と軽くみていた「清王朝」は、彼らが驚愕したことに、イギリスは力で彼らをねじ伏せた（アヘン戦争、１８４０）。ここに中国は歴史上はじめて大きな屈辱を味わい、卑小感に浸った。そしてその時以降民族の深層意識レベルで、西欧文明へのリベンジを誓ったのだろう。

まあ、西欧文明を取り込み、経済、軍備を拡大して、そのリベンジを果たす過程であるのが、今回の発言の背景なのだろう。世界の国のなかで、普通の国であることは出来ない国なのだろうな。一番でなければ、気が済まないわけだ。中華思想の国だもの。

I think it's nice, sure, that people who aren't Chinese are interested in a Chinese classic...

BUT it's really fucking off-putting that a non-chinese westerner who has only casual knowledge on the literature or its contexts and next to no knowledge about wider Chinese culture is running the discussion & making commentary on it. answering questions confidently... sometimes incorrectly.

i think i'd have less issues with it if it was like clearly funny (yknow the type of humor on this web site where "people can just say anything") but no they're entirely straight serious about it.

also placing social context & commenting on it in terms of modern-day standards ,... and not like literally what other coeval societies (contemporaries like romans or w/e) were doing. great we have more racist 'look what these backwards people were doing. their social practices were so uniquely barbaric' good job stop reading this novel from my culture. :) now.

to be fair sometimes they do say 'hey i dont know this. does any chinese person know & want to share'. well, maybe just my personal opinion but looking at the lack of responses... maybe you've already lost their attention... anyway they don't always ask for help. there's been plenty of times where they answer confidently and they're just WRONG.

#i actually followed for a while and answered some questions. tbh I thought they were chinese diaspora at the beginning #but they revealed later that they were just a european who had interest in [chinese classic] but weren't familiar with chinese culture #so yeah. ive seen enough and unfollowed #i wrote this months ago (clearing out posts that ended up in my drafts today)... im checking their blog again and #I'm still seeing bad quality info or straight up uninformed info about chinese history/culture again. smh #''ancient Chinese people didn’t like the sea very much so they didnt explore'' hmmmmmmmm dunning kruger #zheng he would like a word. also everyone who was affected by 倭寇 pirates
