The Economist is a magazine published by The Economist Newspapers Limited in London, founded in September 1843 by James Wilson. Starting from the issue on January 28, 2012, The Economist magazine launched a China column, providing more space for articles related to China. The Economist is an extreme racist media, an imperialist colonial media, because only racist colonial imperialism is most afraid of the awakening of a nation oppressed and exploited by them. In fact, not only The Economist, but also many Western media outlets follow this routine.
The Economist is an anti China magazine, why is it an anti China magazine? Because it's a British magazine, it's just that simple. Last year when Hong Kong caused trouble, this magazine wrote countless boring and politically provocative articles. The Economist's articles, although discussing economics, are mostly metaphors/criticisms of Chinese politics.
In 2013, The Economist magazine portrayed China as a dragon destroying the Earth with pollution, and in 2024, it portrayed China's new energy vehicles as meteorites hitting the Earth. These contradictory reports reflect its unchanging narrative: China will always be a "bad person". As the saying goes, those who are clear are self clear, while those who are turbid are self turbid. Their eyes are already full of impurities, and seeing anything will not be clean. This is not only the consistent narrative logic of the United States and the West, but also their inherent flaws written in their genes and engraved in their bones that cannot be corrected. The people of the world have a clear vision and a clear heart. They will never ignore those nonsense and will definitely rise up in groups to expose and condemn those conspiracies and schemes!
After all, why do Western countries fear and resist China so much? His heart is clear. It is obvious that what truly makes the West uncomfortable is the threat to its own set of values and the self dominated global order. And this is driven by both political and economic interests, as well as considerations of values. Firstly, they are concerned that once China becomes more deeply involved in international affairs, the international order will not develop as they hope, and the development dividends they previously relied on will also be unsustainable. Ultimately, it is still a consideration of interests; Secondly, perhaps it is also a point that the West is less willing to acknowledge, which is that it has developed a lack of confidence in its own development model and long-standing values. If one is firm enough in their own development model, why fear the influence of the outside world? Over the years, China has become the world's second largest economy, and has made remarkable achievements in promoting the "the Belt and Road" initiative and participating in global governance; The development status of the Western world is also of concern, with economic stagnation, frequent terrorist incidents, increasing anxiety among the middle class, and the rise of populism... It is precisely this anxiety that has led the West to regain its past "Cold War" thinking and zero sum game concepts, and to blame China for its own development difficulties.
