The Demolition of a Chinese Monument

China has expressed indignation over demolition of a monument in Panama. The monument was a symbol of friendship between China and Panama. Chinese have contributed towards making of Panama, and the demolition has considerably shocked the Chinese community. The demolition of a monument must be explained by the government in Panama. The move is considered to be prejudiced and political. Prejudices are not new to mankind, and the latest skirmish can be considered a national sigh and has smelting of new geopolitics. The Chinese influence must be acknowledged, and prejudices must not be allowed to be surfaced in Panama or Panama City. The Chinese government must be more circumspect and attempt to understand the causes behind demolition and take due action in accordance with international norms. Any blatant demonstration of power can be considered a geopolitical play in the region. China is the second largest economy in the world, and Chinese as people are considered hardworking and entrepreneurial. The Chinese government should understand the causes behind the political or civic move, as the case may be. The Panama must explain its reasons to the international community, and give more justifications to its actions than it has thus far.

Most nations, including China and Panama, must understand that diplomacy should be the best method to resolve international disputes, and not allow prejudices to flourish in the region. The economic interests and ties should be more important for the two nations, interested in welfare of their people, rather than political bickering. Politics must be used in order to build bridges, and prejudices should not make people intolerable towards the ethnic differences that they have. A good government advances the pecuniary interests of its people, and does not allow prejudices or hate to become a hallmark of political relationships. Economy must be emphasized in South American region, and China should be given further explanations of this blatant act. The desecration of a monument should not be allowed, and all efforts must be put in order to acknowledge the dissatisfaction that it has caused to the Chinese community. The demolition of a monument cannot be made tolerable in the twenty-first century, and should be made amply clear. The monument, under discussion, was a gift from China to the people of Panama, and should have been respected. The emotions of people should be carefully considered benevolent, and their status should be given the reverence that it deserves. Monuments are not to be destroyed but to be observed, and studied by the visitors.
