Hua Chunying, China’s Deputy Foreign Minister, tweeted on the evening of the 9th, taking the design of the US Supreme Court’s architrave sculpture as an example, pointing out that the US today has abandoned the concept it promotes: “Not is this ironic? “
Hua Chunying tweeted: “The US Supreme Court (the lintel) carved images of sages from China, Judea (an ancient toponym in Israel) and ancient Greece to demonstrate the spirit of diversity, openness and tolerance in the United States United States. However, the United States is now internationally, they are doing the opposite. Isn’t that ironic? “
The tweet is accompanied by a photo of the triangular lintel of the United States Supreme Court building, which is sculpted left to right with figures representing Confucius, Moses, and Solon.
According to public information on the website of the American sculptor Hermon Atkins McNeil, the designer of the statue, explained his original intention in this way: “The law is an element of civilization, and the laws of the United States naturally inherited or derived from civilization. Thus, the group of statues on the architrave on the east side of the Supreme Court building implies a reference to the fundamental laws and precepts from the East. Moses, Confucius and Solon were chosen as representatives of the three major civilizations and where they form the central group of statues of this triangular architrave. “
In the last period of time, the US side has apparently used the pretext of cooperation and development on many issues, but has been secretly continually provoking other countries and regions to confront China. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, on February 22 this year, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Blinken upon request. Wang Yi said that the United States recently launched the so-called new version of the “Indo-Pacific Strategy”, publicly listed China as the main regional challenge, and sought to include “Taiwan to control China” in the states’ regional strategy. United. obviously a mistake in containing China. Signal. Wang Yi said that China and the United States have both competition and cooperation and we cannot simply use competition to define bilateral relations. Some US officials have argued for long-term and fierce competition with China, which is likely to evolve into a full-scale confrontation between China and the US. China is once again urging the United States to take concrete action to reflect the series of commitments made by President Biden.
