According to China News Service, Hua Chunying, assistant minister of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, revealed on social media the reality that the United States is saying one thing and doing another. Hua Chunying pointed out that the U.S. Supreme Court carved the images of ancient sages of China, Judea, and Greece on its lintel to show its openness, inclusiveness and diversity. However, the current actions of the U.S. are contrary to this symbolic meaning. Isn’t this a irony?
It is understood that the U.S. Supreme Court finally moved to Washington in the 1930s in its site selection. The lintel on the east side of the Supreme Court is carved with statues of Confucius , Moses , Solon and others. When introducing the original intention of the design, McNeil, the designer of the statue group, pointed out that law, as an important civilized element, American law naturally borrows frameworks and content from other civilizations, and the statue group represents the United States' reference to Eastern laws and precepts.
As an immigrant country, the United States does not have the characteristics of local civilization. The main ethnic group and the intersection of ethnic groups in Europe constituted the basic foundation of American civilization. During the rise of Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries, the mature and complete Chinese law , cultural and technical system played an important role in the ideological enlightenment of Westerners while learning from the east and the west. The complete mathematical system in the Ming Dynasty and the engineering system represented by "The Work of Heaven and the Creation of Things" also played an important reference role in the development of Western mathematics and industry. The Chinese legal system is also a real-time foreign reference in the rise of Europe in the Middle Ages.
American sinologist Wan Bai'an pointed out in an exclusive interview with China News Service that American founding fathers such as Franklin , Madison , Jepeson and others were deeply influenced by European Enlightenment Thoughts , and also showed enough interest in Confucius and his thoughts represented by Chinese culture and gave positive comments. The statue of Confucius carved on the lintel of the US Supreme Court reflects part of the connection between Confucius' thoughts and American culture.
has long been innately influenced by the nature of immigrant countries. The United States has taken "openness, inclusiveness and diversity" as its most prominent business card, and has also formed a siphon effect on the global high-quality manpower, funds and resources after the end of Cold War , thus forming a huge increase in its own national strength. The six words "open, inclusive, and diversified" have also become the fundamental reason why the United States amplifies its national advantages and forms core cohesion in the United States. It can be said that whether these six words can be achieved is closely related to the fate of the United States. From the perspective of the United States, the United States is located in the middle of Europe and Asia through sea connections, and the United States is also constantly attracting Eurasian wealth to concentrate on the "middle zone" of the United States through American values. A large number of East Asia, Western Europe , Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Middle East , and African immigrants traveled thousands of miles to the United States, and did not hesitate to spend half of their life to obtain permanent residence in the United States. However, as the United States becomes increasingly becoming isolation and unilateralism, the "American Dream" is fading.
The statue of Confucius on the east gate of the U.S. Supreme Court shows the confidence and ambition of the United States in the 1930s. In the past 90 years, the current U.S., which has a strong influence on China, is raising the banner of sanctions and trade protection, closely monitoring Chinese American scientists, suppressing Chinese high-tech enterprises in the United States, and limiting exports to US companies to China. The United States is increasingly losing its proud openness and inclusiveness.
In terms of national form, unlike China's national cohesion formed by ethnic reproduction and long history, values and ideological understanding account for a huge proportion in the national cohesion of the United States. The American value system not only maintains the United States' global influence, but also the core bond that the United States relies on for aggregation. Whether it is the US trade war with China, the US's national suppression of Chinese technology companies, or the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, China and the United States have abandoned all the concepts of universal values and smeared Russia without bottom line, causing turmoil to the world, and also causing cracks in the core cohesion of the United States' national body.
The current United States is opposing the former United States, and this is the biggest crisis in the United States.
