College students should be rational and patriotic and understand politics

The students are very interested in politics. There have been countless events at home and abroad, whenever it involves our China, some college students will show passionate patriotic enthusiasm.

That's a good thing. If the young intellectuals do not care about the future and destiny of the country, the country really has no future. Therefore, college students must care about politics. However, the political issue is much more complex than some of the daily life issues, especially some of the political issues related to the fundamental interests of the country, if not handled properly, will affect the overall situation of the country. College students are patriotic, which should be fully affirmed. However, when encountering major political problems, they should first think calmly and seriously, and must not be swayed by emotion. Take the Diaoyu Islands issue for example.

For some time now, the Diaoyu Islands issue has aroused great concern among Chinese people and become a hot topic among college students. Some university students also took to the streets to express their strong dissatisfaction with the Japanese government's actions. In my conversation with college students, I asked them this question: "Let's assume that if there were only two countries on earth, China and Japan, would there still be the Diaoyu Islands issue?" I said I would definitely answer absolutely not, and I'm sure my college friends would come to the same conclusion.

Why is that? It's very simple

Japan is an island country with 129 million people living on an area of 378,000 square kilometers. The population density is too large and the resources are poor. Based on this, Japan has to rely on China for its survival.

So from the emergence of the Diaoyu Islands issue, what should college students realize?

What I want to communicate with college students is that college students should not only care about politics, but also understand politics. When major events occur between countries, they should first clarify the complicated international relations in the world today, face them calmly, and be rational and patriotic. To be sure to say that the diaoyu island problem is not isolated, because the world is not only the two countries, China and Japan have since appeared after the political pattern of "one ball, two systems", between countries in the world, especially in countries with adhere to the socialist system and capitalist road of relations between countries becomes more complex.
