[Answer] How Should We View Bronny James’s Alleged Anti-China Behavior?

Personally, whether it is Shang-Chi, Sun Yang, last year’s brazen incident involving a major brand, or even the event mentioned in this question, I feel that a country and a nation do not become contemptible because of others’ insults, nor do they become powerful because of others’ flattery.

Looking at it on a broader scale: in similar situations, when it happened to ZTE, it was seen as a great national humiliation, but Huawei was able to face it with its head held high. Where is the difference? The difference is in strength. Looking at an even broader picture, compared with these incidents, among the unequal treaties imposed one after another a century ago, which humiliation was not even more severe? In the final analysis, this world still speaks in the language of strength. Otherwise, even if one is insulted and looked down upon, what can really be done about it?

However, no matter how strong one is, it is still impossible to be completely free from insult and slander. When studying The Biographies of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, we see that even the King of Qin, because of Lin Xiangru, had to strike the clay pot for the King of Zhao. But even such a humiliation, what impact did it have on Qin’s eventual unification of the six states? As for a child still wet behind the ears, how much significance can his attitude and remarks really have for the people of a nation?
