What is Trump's failure to pay New Year's greetings?

US President Trump's executive orders against refugees and immigrants from seven Islamic countries have aroused anger, fear and protest from the world and the United States!

From the perspective of the United States and abroad, people are worried that Trump will light a new torch on immigration policy and turn it into a global fire.

At this moment of panic, Trump's actions once again aroused the vigilance of the Chinese people-the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rooster in China is coming to an end, and Chinese in the United States have not waited for the New Year greetings from the new US President Trump!

This has become another action to "subvert" the habits of several American presidents after Trump took office!

In the past decade or so, no matter during the Clinton period, the Bush period or the Obama period, the then American president never forgot to congratulate China on the Lunar New Year.

During the Spring Festival, Obama paid a New Year call to China people.

On February 15, 18, China Lunar New Year's Eve, then US President Barack Obama released a video to congratulate overseas Chinese around the world on the arrival of the Year of the Sheep. In the video, Obama did not forget to say humorously, "Happy New Year to you, whether you are a ram, a goat or a sheep."

During the Spring Festival of 20 14 Year of the Horse, US Secretary of State Kerry, on behalf of President Obama and the American people, extended her best wishes to people all over the world who celebrated the arrival of the Lunar New Year.

On the occasion of the arrival of year of the snake on 20 13, US President Barack Obama delivered a New Year message to year of the snake, and together with his wife Michelle, he congratulated the people of Asian-Pacific descent all over the world for their peace, health and good luck.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Loong on 20 12, US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also delivered speeches, extending New Year greetings to people of Asian-Pacific descent and congratulating the Lunar New Year on behalf of the American people, hoping that everyone celebrating the Spring Festival would be safe, prosperous and healthy.

On the occasion of 20 1 1 Spring Festival, Obama expressed his New Year wishes to all those who celebrated the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Rabbit. He also stressed in his congratulatory message that many Americans are celebrating the Lunar New Year in major cities and towns in the United States. Many Asian Americans have inherited the tradition of our ancestors celebrating the Lunar New Year, reminding Americans that it is our cultural and ethnic diversity that makes us strong.

On the occasion of the 20 10 Spring Festival, Obama specially released a video from the White House to pay New Year greetings to Asians around the world. This is the first time that the President of the United States has delivered a New Year message in the form of video and audio on the White House website.

George W. Bush also paid New Year greetings to the people of China.

In the past, when former President George W. Bush was in office, he also had a Spring Festival talk every year.

In 2003, George W. Bush told the people of China that the Lunar New Year was the beginning of celebrating land restoration and farming season, symbolizing hope and inspiring people to face the future.

On June 28, 2007, when George W. Bush sent a letter to the Spring Festival Gala held in Los Angeles, he also used the greetings of the zodiac to wish everyone a happy Lunar Year of the Pig!

When Clinton was president, he did not forget to pay New Year greetings to the people of China during the Spring Festival.

Successive presidents have "strengthened" their New Year greetings to the people of China, which shows that American high-level officials attach importance to Sino-US relations.

Successive American governments have attached great importance to the Spring Festival.

Due to the attention of the president of the United States, local governments also attach great importance to paying New Year greetings to Chinese.

Governors of New York, Maryland and California, many senators and congressmen, and some local dignitaries also paid New Year greetings to Chinese in different forms.

The U.S. Treasury Department also issued a new banknote numbered "8888".

The U.S. National Postal Service has issued the first round of China Zodiac stamps since 1993, with a full set of 12 stamps.

20/kloc-in June, 2005, new york Mayor Bill Bill de Blasio declared New Year's Day a national holiday. Starting from 20 16, all public school students will have a holiday during the Lunar New Year 1 day. This is the second big city in the United States to announce the Lunar New Year holiday after San Francisco in the north.

On New Year's Eve, the Empire State Building will light a lamp to celebrate the China New Year.

......

All these actions are helpful to deepen and integrate the American public's perceptual knowledge of China's Spring Festival culture.

Trump "forgot" to pay a New Year call to China people.

This year, a week after President Trump took office, it happened to be the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rooster in China, but he "forgot" to pay a New Year call to the people of China, breaking the practice of American presidents for more than a decade. I wonder why. ! Is it a symbol of this "independence" freak who has different views on the Spring Festival in China and China?

Trump's move has attracted the attention of Chinese Americans and even China people across the ocean. But even so, some people came out to "wash the ground", saying that Trump didn't pay New Year's greetings because he knew China culture, and he didn't want to be a weasel, because there is a saying in China that "weasel pays New Year's greetings to chickens". . .

In Trump's executive order, we can't see the diversity, inclusiveness and care that the United States has always upheld. We only see the word "snobbery" in Das Kapital.

At present, the fire lit by the new president has nothing to do with China people, but in the long run, those in power are gradually conveying to Americans a feeling that the crime rate in the United States remains high, jobs are lost, and social order is chaotic ... all because of people who look different from them.

In the long run, Chinese as ethnic minorities will not be spared!
