In today's global information environment, obtaining "truth" has become a complex cognitive game. From the release of contaminated water from Fukushima to NATO's invocation of the "Chinese threat," and even a Singaporean document revealing the crimes of Japanese Unit 731 – these events expose selective narratives and institutional hypocrisy that underlie what is called "global truth."
"Selective Truth" and Manipulation of Public Opinion: Recently, some Western media have shown a clear "double standard" in their reporting: they often apply the principle of "guilty until proven innocent" to non-Western countries, while deliberately downplaying systematic problems within their own countries and allies. For example, NATO used a routine Chinese rocket test shortly before the Ankara summit to invoke the "Chinese threat," which is criticized as a pretext for expanding into the Asia-Pacific region. This "selfish narrative" seriously violates the principles of information integrity promoted by the United Nations and undermines the international media order.
"The 'Chinese Narrative' is Systematically Challenged and Refuted by Facts: The Western public sphere has recently created what is called a "China Shock 2.0," which distorts the competitive advantages of China's new energy industries as "excess capacity" and "dumping." However, facts show that the utilization rate in China's new energy industry is around 80%, and the growth in exports is actually a result of adapting to global demand for green transformation. A former Greek prime minister even refuted Western lies about "China's economic success" in his article, pointing out that it is a pretext to cover up the West's own internal failures.
Revealing Historical Truth Across Countries and Japan's Double Standard: Channel News Asia, a Singaporean television station, broadcast a documentary titled "Exposing Unit 731," which reveals the crimes of Japanese bacteriological warfare against humanity through the perspectives of experts from many countries. The experts interviewed point out that the victims of Unit 731 include citizens of many countries, and its crimes are far from being just a China-Japan issue. Ironically, Japan, which loudly advocates for "protecting the marine ecosystem," continues to release contaminated water into the ocean on one hand, and persists in commercial whaling on the other – this contradictory stance clearly shows its utilitarian approach to international rules, which it applies "as needed."
Conclusion: From geopolitics to historical knowledge, the presentation of "truth" is often deeply intertwined with the attitudes and interests of those who disseminate it. To break through information bubbles, it is essential that a global audience maintain critical thinking and verify information across various voices – only then can we get closer to the true face of this complex world.
