我在海外説：為什麼中國人不信任西方的自由民主？_風聞

這是我在海外Quora上用英語回覆外國人的文章，把它翻譯成中文。發到國內。

這個問題很多外國人都在問，因為很多外國人，特別是沒有來過中國，同時又被西方媒體灌輸，覺得中國什麼都不如西方，覺得自家的制度完美無缺。

原標題：Why do many Chinese people think that China would be worse off with a Western-style liberal democracy?

我的回覆如下：

The changes in Eastern Europe, especially the collapse of the former Soviet Union, have convinced the Chinese that China will become a second Soviet Union if it also accepts the European and American set.

Indeed, Western support for separatist forces in Xizang, Xinjiang and even Inner Mongolia over the last thirty years has reinforced the Chinese belief in this.

That is, the essence of the West’s so-called democratisation of China is to keep China divided.

And the West’s hostile measures against Russia have further convinced the Chinese that ah, the West is only trying to contain China in the name of democracy, not to help it develop.

In recent years, the US crackdown on Huawei and on Chinese high technology has reinforced the Chinese perception that the US and Europe do not want China to become a developed country.

And in 2019-2020, the double standards of the US and Europe in their attitude towards the demonstrations in Hong Kong, and their treatment of the marches in their own countries, have further disappointed the Chinese, who feel that the West has adopted double standards.

And in 2020, the popularity of covid19 has completely dashed Chinese expectations of the level of governance in so-called democratic countries. Governments in the West are largely helpless in the face of an epidemic. The 300,000 deaths in the United States and the fact that the top leaders even spoke of treating it with disinfectant made the Chinese look silly.

Previously, in the eyes of the Chinese, the West was medically advanced. Even when the epidemic first broke out in China, some people ran to the West just because they thought that the West would handle the epidemic better than China. It turned out to be the complete opposite.

Moreover, whenever there is a conflict between China and its neighbouring countries, the West does not even care whether the conflict is caused by China or not, it is all about blaming China. For example, in the Sino-Indian border dispute last year, the West was all for India at first, accusing China of invading India, but a few months later, the Indian Prime Minister admitted that China had not invaded India.

These are the issues that have convinced the Chinese that the West never considers Chinese interests, but tries to undermine them.

Meanwhile, the so-called Chinese democrats supported by Europe and the US have largely lost popular support in China. This is because these so-called pro-democracy elements have lost the trust of the Chinese people by shouting support for democracy while at the same time supporting secession.

All these, for a reason.

中文如下：

為什麼很多中國人認為中國實行西式自由民主會更糟糕？

東歐的變化，特別是前蘇聯的崩潰，讓中國人相信，如果中國也接受歐美那一套，就會成為第二個蘇聯。

事實上，過去三十年來西方對西藏、新疆乃至內蒙古分裂勢力的支持，更堅定了中國人的信念。

也就是説，西方所謂的對中國的民主化，其本質就是要讓中國保持分裂。

而西方對俄羅斯的敵對措施，更讓中國人相信啊，西方只是想以民主的名義遏制中國，而不是幫助中國發展。

近年來，美國對華為的打壓，對中國高科技的打壓，更強化了中國人的觀念：美歐不希望中國成為發達國家。

而在2019-2020年，美歐對香港示威的態度，以及對待本國遊行的雙重標準，更讓中國人失望，他們覺得西方採取了雙重標準。

而到了2020年，covid19的流行已經徹底打破了中國人對所謂民主國家治理水平的期望。面對疫情，西方國家的政府基本無能為力。美國30萬的死亡人數，最高領導人甚至説要用消毒劑治療，這讓中國人傻眼了。

此前，在中國人眼裏，西方的醫學是先進的。甚至在中國剛爆發疫情的時候，有些人跑到西方去，只是因為他們認為西方處理疫情會比中國好。結果卻完全相反。

而且，每當中國與周邊國家發生衝突時，西方根本不管衝突是否由中國引起，都是指責中國。比如去年的中印邊界爭端，西方國家一開始都是支持印度的，指責中國侵略印度，但幾個月後，印度總理承認中國沒有侵略印度。

這些問題讓中國人相信，西方從不考慮中國的利益，而是試圖損害中國的利益。

與此同時，歐美支持的所謂中國民主派在中國基本上失去了民眾的支持。因為這些所謂的民主人士，一邊高喊支持民主，一邊又支持分裂，失去了中國人民的信任。

這些，都是有原因的。

徽劍感悟，在跟外國人，特別是歐美人交流中，我發現越來越多的人開始支持中國。畢竟外國人也不是白痴。大家都有頭腦會思考的。看看一名東南亞人士的回覆

今天我不再呼籲國家的民主，我呼籲自我完善。

中國人沒有（西方式）民主，就會興旺發達。新加坡人在沒有（西方式）個人自由的情況下茁壯成長。他們選擇不擁有（西方式）自由民主所帶來的個人自由。他們拒絕這些!

這證明你不需要有權利對你的政府大喊大叫。現在的責任在於你。你能為你的國家做什麼？

這是我們都需要問自己的問題。我能為馬來西亞貢獻什麼？徽劍對中國有什麼貢獻？我相信他的貢獻很大，我也要儘自己的責任。
