During the Spring Festival this year, foreign leaders who pay New Year greetings to China people feel very special.
Many people choose New Year’s Eve. For example, Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide, Australian Prime Minister Morrison, British Prime Minister Johnson, UN Secretary-General Gutierrez, and so on.
Many leaders talk about their feelings around the Year of the Ox.
Morrison felt that the cow is a member of teamwork. It is calm, earnest and diligent, which is the quality needed in any period, especially in our period. "These qualities will be the pillars for people to survive in 2021."
British Prime Minister Johnson, in a video greeting, said: "I hope all of us can cheer up in the Year of the Ox, just like the strength and determination shown by this strong animal, go forward and make a difference."
The climax is New Year’s Eve, but the first day of the New Year’s Eve is also very important. The new American President Biden personally paid a New Year’s greeting.
Although Biden pays New Year greetings to all people who celebrate the Lunar New Year for political correctness, mainly to Asian Americans, culture transcends national boundaries, which is widely regarded as a gesture towards China.
Counting, this is also Biden’s first New Year greeting as president.
Diplomacy is no small matter, a few interesting details.
Detail one, special time.
Biden chose New Year’s Day.
In fact, on the phone with China leaders on New Year’s Eve, according to Xinhua News Agency, "Biden paid a New Year call to the people of China and wished the people of China a happy and prosperous Spring Festival."
This reminds me that four years ago, after Trump came to power, he paid a New Year call for the first time and dragged it to the twelfth day of the first month.
Also, Trump, who likes to tweet the most, seems to have not mentioned it on Twitter for the first time. In the words of a friend, Trump tweeted that it was true love … …
At this point, Biden was very generous. On the New Year’s Eve, he called to pay a New Year’s call. On the first day of the New Year’s Eve, Mrs. La recorded a New Year’s video together, and several social accounts were released to the public at the first time.
A leader’s demeanor, self-cultivation, and respect or disrespect are sometimes really in these details.

Detail 2, Chinese style background.
If you watch the video carefully, Biden should have put a little thought into it.
I can’t see clearly if the chair I’m sitting in is Chinese. But the red cushion behind him and his wife, look at the pattern, it looks like Chinese style.
Moreover, the whole background is big red.
Behind the first lady Jill, there is also a blue and white porcelain.
This is definitely not a random arrangement.
Biden and his wife are not talking loudly, but they are very emotional. For example, Jill said at the beginning:
This is a time to celebrate, remember happiness and sadness, and look forward to the future. Just like lanterns, we let our hopes light up the road ahead. For so many Americans, we have never needed a new beginning so much.
Mentioned the lanterns in China festivals.
Indeed, lanterns illuminate our way forward.
At this moment, Americans really need a little celebration!
Detail 3, secretly approve Trump.
Biden should have a lot to say after taking over a mess.
Especially for Asian Americans, and then his wife Jill’s words, Biden said with emotion:
In addition to the suffering of the epidemic and the loss of life and livelihood, we also see another kind of tragedy: racism, harassment and hatred. This is totally wrong against Asian Americans and Pacific islanders, and it is a stain on our national character.
Who is this aimed at?
Needless to say.
You know, in the past year, from Trump to Pompeo, some American politicians kept their mouths shut, which was the "X virus" and "Kung Fu flu". This obviously racist behavior aggravated the anger and panic of Asian Americans.
On the eve of the Lunar New Year, a 91-year-old Chinese man was deliberately pushed down in the street, so that Daniel Wu was angry and offered a reward of 25,000 US dollars (about 160,000 yuan) to find the murderer.
This kind of America has surprised the world!
Therefore, Biden said: This is why I signed an executive order condemning racism and xenophobia … …
Biden wants to set things right. I’m not targeting Trump, I’m targeting Trump’s racism.

Detail four, talking about cattle.
How can you not talk about cows in the Year of the Ox?
The first lady really talked about cows, and she said this:
The Year of the Ox reminds us to be resilient and persistent. We have seen again and again from the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities that all front-line workers have the courage to ensure our safety regardless of their own health, and they generously devote their time and talents to helping neighbors in need … …
Toughness and perseverance.
China’s Year of the Ox has made the world feel different.
Especially in the current emergency, we should continue to be resilient, persevering and tide over the difficulties together.
On the most harmonious and festive festival of China people, Biden sent a very unusual signal when he came to pay a New Year call in person.
That is the emphasis on Asian Americans, the emphasis on racial equality, and the respect for China and Chinese culture.
Political things are too sensitive, so I won’t say much today.
At least on the cultural level, Biden is really unusual. As a veteran politician, he is trying to repair the image of the United States and restore its soft power with his soft body.
This kind of power is not comparable to Trump’s foolhardiness, which we need to attach great importance to.
This world respects its opponents, never belittles itself, but makes others respect themselves.
Therefore, after Biden released the New Year video, it was almost unanimously praised. A message wrote like this:
Thank you, Mr. President. I’m so glad to hear that from the White House. In the past four years, what we have heard from the White House is all insults and stupid nicknames. Instead, the White House is encouraging fear, anger, hatred, tearing and xenophobia … …
Finally, I have to feel that this Spring Festival is special and the whole world is still suffering. Therefore, as Mr. and Mrs. Biden said, there is a special need for joy and a fresh start is more urgent than ever.
Therefore, more and more people celebrate the Spring Festival in China and like the profound connotation of China culture.
As I said yesterday, the real strength of China should be that one day, our Spring Festival will become a worldwide festival.
Chinese people celebrate, not Chinese people also celebrate.

This year’s Spring Festival is a new starting point, and almost all the world’s politicians have come to celebrate. Biden and Johnson recorded a New Year video, and Suga Yoshihide and Macron sent New Year greetings.
UN Secretary-General Gutierrez also said with emotion, "Cows symbolize energy, strength and courage, and these qualities are exactly what the world needs today."
Isn’t this the spirit of three cows?
Serve the people, innovate and develop pioneering cattle, and work hard for the old ox!
Therefore, culture transcends national boundaries.
The more national this world is, the more cosmopolitan it is; The more confident you are, the more open you are.
The Year of the Ox in China is also the Year of the Ox in the world.
The Year of the Ox is bound to be a great success!
