Original title: editorial: Australia has the obligation to seriously protect the Safety of Chinese students
Chinese students were besieged by local teenagers at a bus stop in Canberra, Australia`s capital, on the 23rd, and the story became clearer and clearer, according to the World wide Web report. The beating-up was a common wandering teenager in the local street. They asked for cigarettes from two Chinese high school students and were rejected to say "get back to China" and other bad words. The Chinese students, who were scolded as anxious, responded to a "roll-out" and the brawl began. Three Chinese students were injured in the incident, one of them with seven stitches in the eye, a broken eyebrow and about 30 local teenagers involved in the mass brawl.
Since then, local Chinese students have run into the danger of being chased and scolded by local teenagers, some of whom have lost their sense of security. According to their description, the Canberra police intervention was generally not timely and forceful.
Chinese students were beaten in Canberra, and the majority of Chinese scholars saw it as an isolated incident. Their reason is that there are plenty of teenagers in Canberra who often ask passers-by for cigarettes and pocket money,. However, they do not target specific ethnic groups, they shout "go back to China" may not have very deep public opinion or political roots.
However, the mainstream opinion in Australia has for some time hyped the issue of "espionage" of Chinese students, accusing them of disrespecting the Australian society, and the freedom of speech, certainly did not have a good impact on the views of the grass-roots people on Chinese students. And street gangsters scold to some extent reflect some of the emotions of the bottom of the society, this judgment can not be wrong.
When many Chinese hear this, they will feel that the attitude of Australian society towards the Chinese is getting worse and that it may not be safe for Chinese students, especially small ones, to study in Australia in the future. If Australia does not take strong measures to eliminate the impact of this incident, the incident and the recent series of negative incidents and statements against Chinese people in Australia will constitute a turning point. Reshape the Chinese people`s basic understanding of Australian society.
Australia`s "China" and "hate China" news has taken place too much. Many of them seem isolated, but together they form the logic that Australia is somewhat "indifferent" to China.
The prime minister and foreign minister said heavy words to China, the mainstream media publicized "Chinese threat opinion", posters of insulting China appeared on university campuses, and street thugs scolded "get back to China" to beat up our children studying there. Then Canberra told us that the country was "friendly" to China, how rational the Chinese would believe it was.
If Australia believes that its educational resources are absolutely attractive to Chinese families, Chinese students will not be able to return without Australia. So the Australian goverment and the police can downplay the incident of gang beating up Chinese students in Canberra. It is clear, however, that Australian schools are not so irreplaceable.
Australia as a whole is less important to China. It should be better for him to know that he has a tail, not a tail, in Asia.
There are small gangsters everywhere in the world, but if there are street gangsters in China who beat up foreign students and ask each other to "get out of China" and "roll back" from where they come from, then there will certainly be those little punks who can look at them. They must be investigated by Chinese law and public opinion, and condemned by Chinese law and public opinion.
It is no surprise that Australia has "bad children". Parents` attitudes are most important when children do something wrong. Now it is time for the parents of Australian society to make a statement about the bad behavior of all kinds of bad children during this period. We want to see that the parents of the Australian family are moral and reasonable and do not take care of their own children. So what "the parents of the Australian family" looks like, we`ll wait and see.
