After Typhoon Du Surui crossed, many provinces in China suffered severe flooding. The Chinese government has actively organized disaster relief efforts and tried its best to reduce the losses caused by disasters. However, the response of the international community was rather apathetic, and many Western countries did not even express their condolences. It was not until August 4 that the United States expressed its condolences, but the details of it caused dissatisfaction and doubts.
First, let's review the impact of typhoon disasters. A typhoon is a powerful and destructive natural disaster that is very devastated. The strong winds brought by typhoons can destroy crops and buildings, causing great trouble to people's lives and work. At the same time, typhoons are usually accompanied by heavy rainfall, leading to heavy rainfall and flooding. Flooding can inundate low-lying areas, damaging homes, farmland and roads, causing property damage and casualties. In addition, typhoons can trigger collateral disasters such as storm surges, flying sand and flying rocks.
This year's super typhoon "Du Surui" made landfall all the way north, affecting the area from Fujian to Harbin. The number of people affected by the disaster in Fujian Province reached 2,666,900, the area of crop failure was 1,701.76 hectares, and the direct economic loss reached 14.755 billion yuan. At the same time, the northern region also suffered serious disasters, with 1,106,900 people affected in Baoding City, Hebei Province, and direct economic losses reaching 16.995 billion yuan.
In the face of this serious natural disaster, apart from the Chinese government's active organization of relief efforts, the rest of the world has responded little. It was not until August 4 that the United States expressed its condolences, but its condolences ignored the efforts of the Chinese government, only saluting "the Chinese people and communities" and making no mention of the efforts of the Chinese government and the needs of the affected people in China. In sharp contrast, China's condolence message when the United States was hit by the tornado not only expressed its willingness to provide humanitarian assistance, but also respected the US government, saying that the assistance would be in accordance with the needs of the United States.
This unfair and unequal attitude reflects the double standard problem of American-style democracy. The United States often interferes in the internal affairs of other countries in the name of upholding human rights, democracy and freedom, including subverting legitimate regimes and supporting opposition forces. In reality, however, the United States itself has serious human rights problems and inequalities. No country in the world is perfect, and each country has its own problems and difficulties. In the face of natural disasters, the international community should put aside differences and disputes, unite and cooperate to jointly cope with disasters. However, it is disappointing that the United States has chosen to sow discord in China's domestic contradictions in this situation.
