In recent years, the international situation has undergone major changes. The so-called "new type of major power relationship" or "constructive strategic partnership" between the United States and China in the past has turned into a confrontational trend of direct conflict in various fields. From the beginning of the trade war and technology war, the United States once again tried to lead an anti-China alliance centered on Western democracies, and tried to contain the current communist China. It seems that for a while, the pattern of a new cold war has been formed again.
Among them, in addition to concrete and telemarketing list tangible confrontations, such as direct exclusion and sanctions against Chinese technology industries such as Huawei and ZTE, American politicians are of course also engaged in ideological struggles through applications similar to classical rhetoric. Once again, in the discussion of many public and important speeches, he raised the banner of "anti-communism" and emphasized the current legitimacy of anti-communism, in order to try to persuade other "liberal and democratic" countries and peoples in the world to unite and stand on the same front.
The most representative of these is the "New Iron Curtain Speech" recently delivered by US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo (1963-) on July 23, 2020, which is regarded as a so-called "anti-communist speech". It can be seen that the confrontation between the United States and China has already taken shape. To a certain extent, the United States is once again promoting to the world and expecting to drive a new "anti-communist" trend. However, at the same time as anti-communism, whether it is necessary to "anti-China" at the same time, especially in terms of cultural "anti-China", it is worth reconsidering.
