“尊重法律、尊重他人的合法權利,愛國的激情才不會成為‘糊涂的愛’,導致盲目的沖動和偏激的行動,演變成同胞之間的相互爭斗?!比嗣袢請笞蛲戆l表評論員文章,就近日多地出現的“抵制肯德基”等行為作出回應。

肯德基再成“愛國青年”目標
7月17日,河北樂亭縣肯德基餐廳受到青年抗議者的圍堵。他們高舉著橫幅,上面寫著“抵制美日韓菲,愛我中華民族,你吃的是美國肯德基,丟的是老祖宗的臉”。根據社交媒體上流傳的信息顯示,部分在餐廳就餐的顧客也遭到了此類青年的騷擾。
“我做這件事,只是為了呼吁大伙兒有愛國的意識,也沒有想到能引起這么大的轟動?!睒吠さ种瓶系禄录淖钕劝l起者,39歲的李亮在接受新京報的采訪時說道。
據悉,當天下午,事發肯德基關門歇業。期間以李亮為首的抗議者還與一名對這一“愛國行為”表示質疑的男子發生了肢體沖突。
根據媒體的報道,包括河北樂亭,湖南長沙,山東臨沂等全國至少11個地方已經在過去的幾天中發生了類似的“抵制肯德基”事件。一時間“抵制”之聲四起,各地警方也紛紛發表公告呼吁民眾保持理性。
“就愛國情感表達而言,這些極端之舉,非但不能提升愛國認知,反而助長了社會暴戾氣氛?!蹦贤ň皆谄涔嬷斜硎?。
愛國,抵制與美國符號
應菲律賓共和國單方面請求建立的南海仲裁案仲裁庭于2016年7月12日作出的無效裁決,中國外交部當即鄭重聲明,該裁決是無效的,沒有拘束力,中國不接受、不承認。
雖然美國在南海事件中一直以來都扮演著推波助瀾的角色,但仲裁案作為一次重大的新聞事件再一次讓美國以及美國在南海的軍事行動等回到大眾的視線中,同時也成為了一些“愛國青年”的契機和借口。
“我一直對肯德基比較反感,我認為肯德基是比較有代表性的?!睂τ诶盍羴碚f,肯德基在某種層面上,直接代表了美國。
中國的美國企業和美國貨很多,而特許經營的肯德基,大部分的構成都是中國老板、中國員工、中國供貨商以及中國房東。
2015年,中美貿易總額達5583.9億美元。美國是中國的第二大貿易伙伴,僅次于澳大利亞。
“在地球已成‘村’的今天,愛國決不是抱團封閉、一葉障目,而是開放包容、寬厚自信。今天的中國,已進入與世界深度互動階段。中國是現行國際體系的參與者、建設者、貢獻者,同時也是受益者?!比嗣袢請笕缡顷U述崛起的中國在國際舞臺上的心態。
誠然,國民心態的成熟是需要時間的,而如何愛國顯然是這之中最為重要的命題之一。

People’s Daily on KFC Wrath: Love Our Country Rationally
By Han, Southeast Net Australia, 20 July
Protesters have been calling for boycotting US-made product, especially KFC restaurants across China, following the South China Sea arbitral tribunal last week. A People’s Daily article today called on Chinese people to love their country rationally.
Only by respecting the law and the rights of others, can we avoid directing the passion of loving our country to the wrong end, Wrote People’s Daily.
Protestors calling for boycotting Kentucky fried chicken have been found in at least 11 different cities of China in the last few days, as several cases of physical aggression were reported.
Local polices have been taking actions to make sure any kind of pretest remains peaceful, meanwhile calling protestors not to spread anger at home.
It’s been a long while that the US has been taking military aggression in the disputed area of South China Sea, by exercising its Freedom Of Navigation program, while last week’s arbitration triggered another round of national attention on this matter through media reports.
“I have never been a fan of KFC. In fact I see it pretty much like a US icon.” Said Li Liang, the initiator of the anti-KFC protest in Leting county of HeBei Province.
In fact, most KFC restaurants in China are just licensed by their US headquarter, while there are mainly Chinese capital and staff at their homes.
The US is now the second largest trading partner of China, following Australia, with over 550 billion US dollars of the overall bilateral trade amount last year.
“China is not only the participants of the modern international relations, but also the beneficiary.” Wrote People’s Daily.
