As China's economic strength has soared, the living standards of its people have also improved, and the desire for a better life has become increasingly strong.

Yet amidst this picturesque historical backdrop, there were a rare few who harbored fantasies that the "foreign moon is rounder than that of China", and yearned to seek what they believed to be a better life in distant lands.

As the world's superpower, the United States has naturally become a prime target for them.

"People should strive for a better life, and water flows downhill." This ancient proverb encourages individuals to pursue higher goals. However, when personal ambitions are placed above national interests, it can seem somewhat misguided.

It is reported that 6,000 Chinese people have pledged their allegiance to the United States in order to obtain a US green card, and even claimed that China has no right to revoke their nationality and must recognize their dual nationality status.

Such speech and behavior undoubtedly does great harm to our country and national sentiment. Since ancient times, China has been a country with a strong sense of national pride and a national concept.

"The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every man." Every Chinese person should know deeply that the fate of an individual is closely linked to the fate of the country.

Choosing to become a citizen of another country means giving up the rights and obligations of being a Chinese citizen.

The US has introduced various tempting policies, including a green card for those who join the military, in order to meet its military demands.

This policy is undoubtedly a huge temptation for those who are eager to quickly integrate into American society.

But they seem to have forgotten that "you can't put both your feet in the same river at the same time". It is an underlying principle of international law that an individual cannot simultaneously possess the full nationality of more than one country.

China's government has issued clear warnings to the 6,000 people involved:Once they choose to join the American nationality, they automatically give up their Chinese nationality.

Because China never recognizes dual nationality. This is the maintenance of state sovereignty and the respect for international law.

Regrettably, some of these 6,000 individuals do not seem to grasp the gravity of their actions.

They talk loudly about China revoking their citizenship being inhumane, but they forget that they were the ones who first chose to abandon their motherland.

This idea of wanting to enjoy the advantages of foreign countries while still retaining Chinese nationality is simply self-deception.

It's a simple and easy-to-understand truth that "you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw". However, when faced with the choice between national and personal interests, these 6,000 people made a decision that is hard to understand.

They may find the life they want in the US, but they will also have to give up their pride and dignity as Chinese people.

As Chinese, we should have a clear national consciousness and a sense of pride in our ethnicity. No matter where we are, we should always remember our Chinese identity and our cultural background. There is nothing wrong with seeking a better life, but it should never be at the expense of our national interests.
