我曾劝我的NBA朋友
别被反华言论牵着走
Dont let them pull you into this bullshit, because its the Iraq War, weapons of mass destruction type of propaganda.
不要相信他们那些胡说八道，这就类似当年美国政府声称，伊拉克有大规模杀伤性武器，是政治宣传策略。
If you studied China, particularly late in the colonial period, the late 1940s or these mandate. They have been on this...they were able to organize themselves around the idea that theyll never be dominated and controlled again, right?
如果你研究过中国，尤其是1940年（据语境应为1840年）以后那段被殖民的历史，你就会明白，中国人民坚决反对自己的领土再次被他国主宰或控制。
China is gonna eliminate poverty. Theyve made an effort to address the way that human life is actually governed. Right?
中国致力于消除贫困。他们努力实现了政府对人民生活的真切的管理。
And theyve made a serious attempt to figure out the best way in which they can get...make their citizens as productive as they possibly can be. Thats why they can build a hospital in 10 days like they did at the beginning of the COVID outbreak.
中国政府很认真地在想方设法，积极调动国民的生产积极性，这也是为什么中国能在新冠疫情暴发初期10天内建成一座医院。
Its not gonna work against a deliberately organized country like China. Its just not going to work. And weve got to accept that.
对于中国这种组织有序的国家来说，这种策略不会奏效。我们必须承认这一点。
They have logically just filled the holes that western imperialism has made and left in the world. So...you blow an nation up, China rebuild it. That works in their favor.
而目前西方帝国主义在全世界制造又留下的千疮百孔，中国都顺理成章地修补好了。西方炸毁了一个国家，中国去重建，这对中国有利。
韦斯特说，美国人对中国的了解远小于中国人对美国的了解，而前者甚至是“趋近于零”（slim to none）的。
而中国目前取得的成就，并不靠战争、和侵略：
他表示，中国确实成为了一个“威胁”（a legitimate threat），打破了（西方主导的）世界的平衡（to the balance of the world）。
而关于中国，美国人一直都被误导了。韦斯特说，美国人必须接受一个事实，西方势力架构之外，存在一种不同的社会结构。
虽然社会架构与西方完全不同，但中国人依然可以过好自己的生活，还取得了一些伟大的成就。
面对如今的中国
反华的老路子行不通
So if youve got a country that is getting ready to eliminate poverty, has lifted up 600 plus million people out of poverty, a country that is educating its people ridiculously, a country thats heading toward a life expectancy of 80. You know China has lifted their illiteracy rates unprecedentedly in the last 40, 50 years.
设想你面对的是一个即将让6亿多人脱贫、大力推行国民教育、国民人均预期寿命接近80岁的国家。在过去四五十年间，中国史无前例地极大降低了文盲率。
If youre facing a society like that and you continue to say, Well, were gonna do things our way where we prefer locking people up. We are under educating, miseducating. Were using propaganda in the place of real journalism.
面对这样一个社会，美国依然坚持按自己曾经的武断暴力方式来应对，限制民众获取信息，误导民众，用政治宣传代替真实的新闻报道。
We continue to have these imperialistic exhibitions of sending troops all over the world, and having war military bases everywhere. And sort of continuing to on this path of were gonna do what we need to do to keep our nation first without the consideration and the sovereignty of other nations, or the acceptance of other cultures. It simply doesnt seem like a future thats possible, in my opinion.
时至今日，我们依然在大肆宣传帝国主义时代盛行的向全世界各国派兵建立军事基地的做法。继续坚持着我们要不择手段，保证本国利益第一，全然不顾他国主权，拒绝接受他国文化的做法。在我看来，这样的做法行不通。
