Recently, according to the tax payment certificates provided by Wuyishan Municipal Government and Anxi County Government of Fujian Province, in 2023, Bama Tea Industry became the first tax payer of tea enterprises in the two places respectively. This means that Bama Tea has won the first place in the tax payment of tea enterprises from Tieguanyin, Anxi for 11 consecutive years, and the second place in the tax payment of Wuyi Rock Tea and Tieguanyin, two oolong tea enterprises from Anxi for 4 consecutive years.

△ Bama Tea won the first place in the tax payment of Wuyi Rock Tea and Anxi Tieguanyin origin tea enterprises for four consecutive years.

Wang Wenli, chairman of Bama Tea Industry, once said that using "double taxation crown" as a signboard is actually using integrity as a signboard. From the perspective of double taxation, it is not difficult to see that Bama Tea insists on feeding back the origin with honest management and promoting the long-term healthy development of China tea industry.

The mission of China tea benchmarking enterprise with double first tax payment for four consecutive years.

In 2023, "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Development and Growth of Private Economy" was issued, which mentioned that it is necessary to guide private enterprises to continuously improve the quality of development and promote the private economy to become bigger, better and stronger.

As a leader of private enterprises, Bama Tea Industry pays taxes according to law, which is one of the manifestations of its practice of honest management and its active commitment to the feelings of home and country and social responsibility of head tea enterprises.

Walking into more than 3,200 stores in Bama tea industry all over the country, you can see the golden sign of "double taxation first". Taking honesty and paying taxes as the letter in business is a concrete action for enterprises to serve the country, which just embodies the "positive" values of Bama tea industry. On the road of industrial revitalization, paying taxes will feed back the origin, continuously inject vitality and upgrading into the tea industry, and empower China tea to develop with high quality.

On the other hand, it has been able to achieve the double first place in tax payment for the two major oolong tea enterprises for four consecutive years, which also reflects the high industry recognition and core market position of Bama tea industry.

Empowering rural revitalization with "enterprise", building a new development path based on good tea of origin

The Bama tea industry, which has always been deeply involved in the development of the producing areas, actively responded to the national major policies, just conforming to the wave of the times. In fact, on the road of implementing the overall development of "three teas", Bama tea industry’s efforts go far beyond paying taxes in good faith according to law, and more importantly, it explores multi-dimensional solutions for the tea industry to empower rural revitalization through initiatives such as opening competitions, building industrial parks, building platforms, and opening channels.

△ In 2023, Bama Tea Industry Wuyi Rock Tea Wang Sai received more than 6,000 samples, far ahead of similar local events.

Up to now, Bama Tea Industry has been deeply involved in the "Double Crown and Double Tea Wang Sai" for four consecutive years, and has invested over 30 million yuan to hold the Tea King Competition, rewarding tea farmers and tea enterprises to make good tea. It has become a phenomenal event that leads tea farmers to improve their tea-making skills and the trend of tea consumption market.

Relying on the competition to empower the tea producing areas, Bama tea industry further sank its origin, and opened factories in Anxi and Wuyishan, two core oolong tea producing areas, to explore the upgrading path of modern smart tea gardens. Among them, Bama Wuyishan Intelligent Ecological Industrial Park, which was just put into operation not long ago, is a large-scale tea industry complex integrating Wuyi tea production and processing, experience sightseeing, scientific research and training, which not only promotes the high-quality development of local tea industry, but also provides a strong boost for rural revitalization in Wuyishan area.

As a representative of the national tea brand, Bama Tea Industry has also practiced the concept of "helping farmers with tea" nationwide, built a direct bridge between tea farmers in producing areas and market consumers, and built a value-creating open platform for the participation of tea farmers and tea enterprises. Continue to "hematopoietic" for tea-producing areas and continue to contribute "eight horses" to rural revitalization.

High-quality exploration of developing national tea brands by resonance in the same frequency era

With the prosperity of tea in the country, along with the trend of industrial extension driven by the spirit of "the belt and road initiative", the layout of China tea has already extended to the whole world. The Bama tea industry, which actively conforms to the general trend of the times and develops resonantly, is at the forefront of the layout of tea in China.

Since the beginning of 2023, on the one hand, Bama Tea has appeared in international events at home and abroad several times, actively practicing the spirit of building a "the belt and road initiative" and helping great countries to have tea talks; On the other hand, he was invited to appear at the United Nations Headquarters, the China Embassy in the United States, and the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and held the global tasting of high-end China tea in South Africa, the Republic of San Marino, Italy, Switzerland and other countries. At the same time, Bama Tea Industry has built an Italian-Italian tea wine culture promotion center, entered the North American market strongly … and expanded the market breadth of China tea in multiple dimensions. Pass the power of China tea brand to the world again and again, and set off the China tea craze sweeping the world.

In the new stage of "the belt and road initiative" entering high-quality co-construction, from China tea to world tea, Bama tea industry has been constantly exploring the development of tea brands, practicing the path of breaking the national tea brand upgrade and construction. Its implementation of honest management and tax payment, its cultivation of the development of energy-producing areas, and its strategy of promoting China tea to go abroad have all merged into an excellent example of the high-quality development of tea brands in China today.

　　Beijing, China Broadcasting Network, December 25 th When the traditional Christmas atmosphere in the West is getting stronger and stronger, the courtyard of No.35 Xitangzi Hutong, a famous quadrangle in Dongcheng District of Beijing, has been particularly busy these days. In this traditional courtyard in China, which was built in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty and once lived by Zuo Zongtang, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, someone is organizing a lively Christmas party.

　　Through the long corridor, rockery and garden full of China traditional culture in this courtyard, people feel a different kind of feelings when they look at Santa Claus in red and red hat and Christmas tree with lights on.

　　Pride and prejudice: celebrating the foreign festival is to worship foreign things and flatter foreign countries.

　　"After hard work and study for a year, Christmas at the end of 2008 is the time for us to relax and celebrate this festival together! Exchange each other’s gifts in beautiful songs, bring joy to everyone in self-made programs and get beautiful gifts, get together in various interesting games and dance in exciting music … "This is the advertisement for the Christmas party to be held in No.35 Courtyard of Xitangzi Hutong.

　　In China 30 years ago, this Christmas call, which was imbued with many elements such as joy, reunion and commercial speculation, was unimaginable. Until the early 1980s, overseas festivals in China were almost equated with the word "worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things".

　　"At that time, most people were very sensitive to overseas festivals, because there was always public opinion accusing China of having so many traditional festivals, why did it have to be overseas? Are foreign festivals better than those in China, and the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China? Damn it! Too worshipful of foreigners! " Yin Yungong, director of the Institute of Journalism of China Academy of Social Sciences, said, "This kind of emotion was normal at that time, because we were relatively closed and exclusive at that time, which was a kind of arrogance and prejudice in another sense.".

　　This "arrogance and prejudice" made foreign festivals have no market in China before the 1990s. Occasionally, there were some commercial or spontaneous activities to celebrate western festivals in some coastal cities, and they were often criticized. Some foreigners who entered China in the early days of reform and opening up will generally choose to go back to China for holidays or go to neighboring countries such as Japan and the Philippines for holidays when festivals such as Thanksgiving and Christmas come.

　　Tolerance and appreciation: crossing the foreign festival generously.

　　Even though there were many refusals and rejections, in the early days of reform and opening-up, China, which opened its doors, gradually began to re-examine and treat foreign festivals differently, even from the bud of timidity.

　　Allan Zeman, the boss of Hong Kong Lan Kwai Fong, felt the changes in China at that time. At the end of 1980, Allan Zeman went to Hangzhou for business, and the foreign-related hotel where he stayed held a small-scale "Christmas party" for the guests. Allan Zeman said with emotion: "This is my first Christmas in China, which shows that China is really open."

　　Just as the reform and opening up started in the special zones and coastal areas, China people’s attitude towards foreign festivals is also "the south wind gradually spread to the north". At first, Guangdong, Shanghai and other regions broke through the imprisonment in understanding, and then began to gradually affect the whole country.

　　Around the 1990s, businesses in Guangdong and other places began to actively play up pure western festivals such as Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Valentine’s Day for commercial purposes, and gradually formed a trend. More and more people in China began to celebrate foreign festivals generously.

　　"On the surface, the start of foreign festivals in China seems to be a purely commercial promotion, but its origin is the openness and tolerance of China people’s mentality formed with the reform and opening up, and foreign cultures are no longer blindly excluded." Zhang Yu, general manager of caeg Company, said: "Learning to appreciate with tolerance is a major change for China people to treat foreign festivals."

　　In fact, China people, who were just curious at first, gradually discovered the positive factors of foreign festivals from the perspective of cultural level and psychological needs, such as mother’s day, father’s day, Thanksgiving and other grateful feelings, such as the candor and expression of love on Valentine’s Day.

　　In 1998, Ms. Chen Zinan, who returned from overseas, returned to Beijing. She liked quadrangle culture and opened a western private restaurant called "Chief of Autumn". Since its opening, Valentine’s Day and Christmas are the best prime time for business here. "Apart from foreigners, more and more people from China have come here for Christmas and Christmas dinner in recent years."

　　Reason and Emotion: Traditional festivals in China are the main theme.

　　In the 21st century, foreign festivals have blossomed everywhere in China. Nowadays, whenever Valentine’s Day, Christmas and other foreign festivals come, waiters wearing little red riding hood can be seen in many cities in China, and news that roses are seriously out of stock can be heard. The foreign festival economy spawned by foreign festivals has become a gimmick for merchants to attract customers, and foreign festivals have also become a fashion.

　　However, in the hot atmosphere of the festival, the decline of traditional festivals in China has gradually caused China people to worry about the protection and inheritance of their traditional culture.

　　On the eve of Christmas in 2006, 10 doctors from Peking University, Tsinghua, Nankai University and other universities issued a joint signature proposal, calling on netizens to be cautious about Christmas. They believe that the reason why Christmas is popular in China is that Chinese people are in a state of collective unconsciousness in culture-indifference and indifference to their own traditions is the reason why foreign festivals are popular.

　　Therefore, after foreign festivals prevailed in China for more than 10 years, China people began to think about them from the perspective of reason and emotion.

　　"When China people flock to celebrate Christmas, people will have some worries." Zhang Yiwu, a professor of Chinese literature in Peking University, said: "The root cause of anxiety lies in China people’s fear that the younger generation will lose enthusiasm for their traditional festivals and forget the foundation of their own culture. Of course, we don’t exclude foreign cultures, but our foundation should be our own traditional culture, so we must make it clear that China Festival is the main theme of our festival. "

　　Some scholars wrote that we should not persuade people to stay away from or even resist the proliferation of foreign festivals, but should objectively examine the exchange and mutual accommodation between Chinese and Western cultures with the broad mind of the Chinese nation and a heart without cultural prejudice. While paying attention to and accepting western culture, we should pay more attention to how to revitalize our own traditions and culture, reform and enrich the connotation of these traditional festivals, and make them more attractive.

　　In fact, the China government has begun to consciously guide people to pay attention to their traditional festivals. It is a positive and clear signal that Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival have become legal holidays.

Christmas symbolizes love and sacred faith. Christmas is a day of celebration and jubilation abroad. For people in Europe and America, Christmas is like the Spring Festival in China. They have Christmas holidays, give Christmas gifts and participate in various Christmas activities.

The real meaning of Christmas is to commemorate the birth of Jesus. Christmas Eve on December 24th and Christmas Day on December 25th are all related to the legend of the birth of Jesus.

At the beginning of the 4th century, January 6th was a double festival for churches in the eastern Roman Empire to commemorate the birth and baptism of Jesus, that is, God revealed himself to the world through Jesus.

This day is also the winter solstice festival of the Roman calendar, which means the beginning of the recovery of everything. Perhaps for this reason, the Roman church chose this day as Christmas.

Christmas is the biggest festival in the Christian world. It is generally believed that December 25th, as Christmas, may have started in the Roman Church in 336 AD.

Because the calendars used by local churches are different, the specific dates cannot be unified, so December 24 to January 6 of the following year is designated as the Christmas Festival, and local churches can celebrate Christmas during this festival according to local conditions.

In many countries in Europe and America, people attach great importance to this festival and associate it with the New Year. The excitement and solemnity of the celebration greatly surpassed the New Year and became a national holiday.

The symbol of Christmas tree

It is said that the Christmas tree first appeared in the Saturnalia in mid-December in ancient Rome, and the German missionary Nicholas used vertical trees to worship the infant in the 8th century. Subsequently, the Germans took December 24 as the festival of Adam and Eve, and put a "paradise tree" symbolizing the Garden of Eden at home, and hung cookies representing the sacred bread to symbolize atonement; And lit candles to symbolize Christ. In the 16th century, Martin Luther, a religious reformer, designed a Christmas tree with candles in it for a starry Christmas night.

However, there is another popular saying about the origin of the Christmas tree in the west: A kind farmer warmly entertained a wandering child on Christmas Day. When leaving, the child broke off a branch and planted it on the ground and immediately grew into a big tree. The child pointed to the tree and told the farmer that every year today, the tree is full of gifts to repay your kindness. Therefore, the Christmas tree people see today is always full of small gifts. Designed by Horsley. The card depicts a noble family, and three generations raise their glasses together to congratulate an absent relative. At that time, he printed 1000 copies, and the unused printing house sold them at a price of 1 shilling each. So the Christmas card was born.

Huang Xuan

As a famous "Buddhist male god of literature and art", Huang Xuan is not active on various social networking sites, but leaves more time for self-charging, including a lot of reading and watching movies.

　 　 　 He also recommended Into the Wild, Children, A Parting, Requiem for a Dream, East of Eden and many other films that will still be revisited.

When filming The Legend of the Demon Cat, in order to make himself more poetic, Huang Xuan read The West Chamber and Wang Guowei’s Poems on Earth under the recommendation of Chen Kaige, and constantly tried to figure out the psychological state of the characters. Watching movies on weekdays is another form of precipitation and accumulation for Huang Xuan.

In Huang Xuan’s view, sharing his reading and watching movies with fans is also part of the communication between artists and fans. "It is biased towards the exchange of ideas and is also an active advocacy of a lifestyle."

Chun Li

In addition to Li Xian, Chun Li, who once played the role of Si Li in Joy of Life, and played Wei Yaowan in Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, is also a star movie blogger who often "operates" in Weibo.

Not only that, but she also created a topic for sharing movies in Weibo: # Pure Movie Watching #, which has been launched for nearly two years and recommended more than 50 movies, with nearly 100 million readings and more than 100,000 comments.

Last year, Chun Li also won the title of "Top Ten V Judges of 2019" with a group of film critics for this topic.

In contrast, Chun Li’s film list is more grounded and popular, with both foreign literary masterpieces and a large number of cinema films and Chinese films. The recommendation is more like a "private" sharing between girlfriends than a film review.

For example, when recommending the award-winning film Girl, the director of Cannes Film Festival, Chun Li shared his experience of practicing ballet. "The familiar images evoke many memories. Becoming a ballet dancer is a transformation full of real pain … The girls who dance ballet are given a stubborn persistence. The film is like this, and so are we. "

The suspense film Searching reminds her of her subtle mentality when communicating with her parents: "I am particularly touched by the fact that my father repeatedly knocked on the keyboard and then deleted this picture. Many times when communicating with my parents, many words came to my mouth and finally swallowed back."

chen jian bin

　 　 　 For this identity, he himself is also very recognized. He bluntly said that his interest in watching movies is "natural" and he likes all kinds of movies, not for work. "Because watching movies can make me feel particularly happy and happy."

Among them, Zhang Yimou’s Red Sorghum and Truffaut’s The Last Subway are enlightening works that lead him to the road of performance.

The rural theme of "Red Sorghum" made him see the hope that he was born in the countryside to engage in acting career. In "The Last Subway", the images of the protagonists still insisting on rehearsing in the basement of the theater during the war gave him the desire to apply for Chinese opera.

Chen Jianbin is very confident about his movie viewing volume, and once proudly said that he has never met his opponent. When studying in Chinese opera, he often locked himself in the viewing room and watched videos all night. This brushing habit has also been maintained until now.

In a life variety show, Chen Jianbin started the "viewing room" mode as soon as he arrived at the residence, and took out the long-prepared Blu-ray discs, all of which were classic old films, including butch cassidy and the sundance kid, Sunset Yellow Sand and the "Apu Trilogy" by Indian director satyajit ray.

After watching the movie, I had a whim. I told my wife, Angel, that I wanted to name the unborn child Sundance (the name of the protagonist in butch cassidy and the sundance kid), and the shadow is full of true colors.

WatchingThe Phantom SewerAt that time, Chen Jianbin even brought his own commentary track. "This is notPaul Thomas AndersonThe best movie. "And then reel comments.

In an interview, Chen Jianbin once asked a reporter, "What is the first shot of American Beauty?" At that time, the other party was speechless. This has also become one of the anecdotes circulating in the circle.

Chen Jianbin said that when people often ask themselves why they can watch so many movies, he often replies, "I spend other people’s time watching movies. Even though I’m not in this industry now, I’m still an avid movie fan. “

In addition to the above four, there are many stars in the film and television circle who are hidden senior fans and movie bloggers.

Zhang YiIt has been revealed that my biggest hobby is to organize my own film library and prefix all films according to the ranking of directors, main actors, awards and douban, so as to facilitate my retrieval and study at any time.

78-year-old famous directorXie FeiUp to now, I still actively share all kinds of film reviews and drama reviews on Douban, including not only a large number of literary films and cinema films, but also online dramas such as Joy of Life, which can be described as "never too old to see old".

It is true that some people may question that the behavior of movie recommendation by stars is "setting aside people" and "showing superiority", but it is undeniable that listening, watching and feeling excellent works is one of the necessary accomplishments for actors and directors, and it will certainly help them go further and further on the road of performing arts.

Xiao Dianjun also sincerely expects that there will be more movie bloggers in the entertainment circle.

Korean War, Vietnam War, Afghanistan War … Today, let’s briefly review many wars launched by the United States after World War II to see what kind of war crimes this "world’s biggest source of chaos" has committed.

Korean War

Overview-On June 25th, 1950, Korean Civil War broke out. The Truman administration of the United States brazenly intervened with its Cold War mentality and ambition to dominate the world and contain communism, and rallied the so-called "United Nations forces" to launch an all-out war against the DPRK. On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, and the three-year Korean War ended.

Loss-Although the Korean War was short but extremely bloody, more than 3 million civilians died and about 3 million people became refugees. According to the statistics of the DPRK, the war destroyed about 8,700 factories, 5,000 schools, 1,000 hospitals and 600,000 families, and 2 million children under the age of 18 were displaced by the war.

According to the data, the US military secretly carried out germ warfare in northern Korea and parts of northeastern China. O ‘Neill, a prisoner of the US Air Force, said in his confession: "The US military chose to start germ warfare in winter … to test the cold-resistant germ weapons we made in a special laboratory. The ultimate goal is to use these bacterial weapons in germ warfare against countries with cold climates such as the Soviet Union and people’s democratic countries. "

Voice-"This is a wrong war with the wrong enemy at the wrong place and time." Omar bradley, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said.

Vietnam War

Overview-In 1955, the Vietnam War broke out. During the war, the United States fostered the pro-American regime in South Vietnam against North Vietnam. On May 14th, 1961, American "Special Operations Forces" invaded South Vietnam. On April 30, 1975, the last US helicopter left Saigon.

Losses-The Vietnam War killed 2 million civilians and displaced more than 3 million refugees. The US military is throwing about 20 million gallons of defoliants (orange agent), resulting in 400,000 Vietnamese deaths and 2 million Vietnamese suffering from cancer or other diseases. The US military is still leaving behind about 350,000 tons of explosive bombs and mines, and it is estimated that it will still take 300 years to completely remove them.

In March 1968, American soldiers slaughtered more than 500 people, including men, women and children, in Mylai village, Vietnam’s generalized province. This was the Mylai village massacre that shocked the world. According to the Los Angeles Times, in addition to the massacre in Mylai Village, there were at least 320 other incidents in which American troops massacred Vietnamese civilians during the Vietnam War, killing nearly 700 civilians.

Voice-In his speech in front of the Vietnam War Memorial Wall in 2012, former US President Barack Obama said that the cost of war is huge, and it will cause serious casualties among innocent civilians. War itself is not glorious and should be rejected.

Kosovo War

Overview-On March 24th, 1999, NATO led by the United States brazenly bombed Yugoslavia without the authorization of the United Nations, under the banner of "preventing the humanitarian crisis in Kosovo", and the Kosovo war broke out. In June, NATO signed an armistice agreement with Yugoslavia, and Kosovo was temporarily entrusted by the United Nations.

Losses-The war killed more than 2,000 innocent civilians, injured more than 6,000 people, displaced nearly 1 million people, and lost more than 2 million people’s livelihood, resulting in economic losses of more than 200 billion US dollars to Yugoslavia. According to statistics, NATO troops used at least 31,000 depleted uranium bombs, which led to a sharp increase in the incidence of cancer and leukemia in this region and had a long-term disastrous impact on the local and European ecological environment.

Voice-German writer Michael Luders once wrote in his book that after the Kosovo War in 1999, NATO went beyond the principle of collective self-defense and launched a military operation against Yugoslavia, causing civilian casualties in the name of humanitarianism. This shows that in the eyes of the United States and the European Union, human rights are only a secondary concern, especially when human rights standards are only applied to non-allies.

Afghanistan War

Overview-After the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001, the United States and its allies launched a military strike against Afghanistan in early October of that year on the grounds that the Taliban in Afghanistan refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, and quickly overthrew the Taliban regime and stationed troops for a long time. On August 30, 2021, local time, the last US military transport plane took off from Kabul International Airport. This "longest war in American history" ended in the sudden withdrawal of the US military.

Losses-According to statistics, 47,245 Afghan civilians and 66,000 to 69,000 Afghan soldiers and policemen unrelated to the "September 11th" incident were killed and more than 10 million people were displaced. The United Nations World Food Program warned in 2021 that about 98% of Afghans do not have enough food, and Afghanistan is facing "avalanche hunger and poverty".

During the war, U.S. warplanes bloodbath Laccagni village in Panjiwai district of Kandahar province and launched air strikes against it, killing 63 villagers, including a family of 17 people, and injuring dozens. The day before the complete withdrawal from Afghanistan, the U.S. military fired missiles at a white car parked in the courtyard of a family in Kabul, killing a family of ten people, including seven children.

Voice-"The killing of civilians, including children, by the US military in air raids has exposed the hypocrisy of the so-called human rights defenders in the United States. The international community should condemn the US for trampling on human rights and bring the criminals to justice." A villager in Laccagni village expressed such anger.

On December 16, 2003, the US military patrolled Wardak province in central Afghanistan. The war in Afghanistan, which lasted for nearly 20 years, became the longest war in American history. Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Lei photo

Iraq War

Overview-In March 2003, the United States and its western allies invaded Iraq, bypassing the UN Security Council, on the grounds that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, despite the strong opposition of the international community. On August 18, 2010, the last US combat brigade left Iraq, marking the end of US military operations. On December 15, 2011, the United States officially announced the end of the US military mission in Iraq.

Loss-The war left the land that gave birth to the civilization of the two rivers riddled with holes, resulting in the death of about 200,000 to 250,000 civilians, of which more than 16,000 were directly killed by the US military. According to statistics, the total number of depleted uranium bombs exploded in Iraq exceeded 3,400 tons. Today, there are still about 25 million mines and other explosive remnants to be removed in Iraq. The Iraq war also broke the balance between the political forces in the Middle East after the Cold War, making the people’s livelihood in the region miserable and chaotic.

In November 2003, the Iraqi citizen Ala Karim Ahmed was arrested and imprisoned by the US military. In prison, American soldiers used police dogs, whips and shackles to force him to confess. According to Alla Karim Ahmed, at that time, the prison was often attacked by mortars from anti-American armed men. The US military could hide in bunkers, and the detainees had to resign themselves to fate. A shell landed in the prison, killing 37 people and injuring 104 others. In 2004, the photos of American soldiers abusing prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq were exposed, which shocked the world.

Voice-The website of American Atlantic Monthly once published: "Americans never really understand the cost of war, but they continue to fight. Only Iraqi civilians know the geometry of the cost of war."

A citizen of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, once said sadly: "The United States has set Iraq back for 100 years."

[Syrian War]

Overview-When the civil war broke out in Syria in 2011, the United States and its western allies strongly supported the opposition armed forces and tried to overthrow the Syrian government. In September 2014, the United States initiated the formation of an international alliance to combat the extremist organization "Islamic State", expanded the scope of air strikes against the target of "Islamic State" from Iraq to Syria, and established several military bases in eastern Syria. Since 2017, the United States has launched an air strike against Syria on the grounds of "preventing the Syrian government from using chemical weapons."

Loss-From 2016 to 2019, there were 33,584 recorded civilians who died in the war in Syria. Among them, 3833 people were directly killed by the bombing of the United States-led Coalition forces, half of whom were women and children. According to the American public television network, the so-called "most accurate air strike in history" launched by the US military alone killed 1,600 Syrian civilians. The war has caused the people’s livelihood in Syria to wither. According to a survey conducted by the World Food Program in April 2020, about one-third of Syrians do not have enough food, and 87% of them have no savings.

Voice-Syrian political activist Wada Issa once said: "They (the United States) steal our resources here, create chaos and wreak havoc, and even have the nerve to call themselves the’ savior’ of the suffering Syrian people."

According to the data of the "War Cost" project of Watson Institute of Brown University in the United States, the total number of military and civilian deaths caused by the war launched by the United States in the "post-9.11 era" is as high as 929,000, and at least 38 million people have been displaced, and this is only a "very conservative estimate", and the actual number may be between 49 million and 60 million.

In addition to directly launching or participating in wars, the United States frequently interferes in other countries’ internal affairs by directly or indirectly supporting proxy war, inciting other countries’ civil wars, providing weapons and ammunition, and training anti-government armed forces, which seriously damages the social stability, public safety and healthy economic development of the countries concerned.

"The biggest source of chaos in the world", the United States deserves its name!
