丹麥和瑞典的反俄、反中情緒確實相當明顯，尤其在媒體報導與政府政策上，對俄羅斯和中國的敵意比一些其他歐洲國家更強烈。這種現象的背後，確實與美國（尤其是民主黨政府）的影響有關，但還有更深層的歷史、政治和地緣戰略因素。以下是可能的主要原因：
1. 美國的影響（尤其是民主黨）
丹麥和瑞典作為北歐國家，在冷戰後與美國的安全關係越來越緊密，這導致它們在美國的外交政策影響下，逐漸強化反俄、反中立場。其中，民主黨政府對這種影響特別大，主要體現在：
• 民主黨的價值觀外交：
• 民主黨政府（如奧巴馬、拜登）強調「人權、民主、自由」，並將中國和俄羅斯描繪成專制威脅。
• 北歐國家自認為「全球民主與人權的先鋒」，因此特別容易與美國的**「價值觀對抗」政策**接軌。
• 拜登政府的對歐洲影響：
• 烏克蘭戰爭爆發後，拜登政府全力拉攏歐洲盟友對抗俄羅斯，丹麥和瑞典積極響應，甚至瑞典放棄中立，申請加入北約。
• 對華政策方面，拜登政府延續川普的「對華強硬」立場，並拉攏歐洲加入「圍堵中國」的陣營，導致北歐媒體對中國的負面報導增加。
總結來說，美國（尤其是民主黨政府）透過外交影響、意識形態輸出和軍事聯盟，將北歐推向更強烈的反俄、反中立場。
2. 內部政治與媒體環境
(1) 媒體的單一化與意識形態偏見
• 北歐媒體高度集中，幾乎被幾家大媒體壟斷，並且高度自由派化，這導致「政治正確」的標準非常嚴格。
• 例如，瑞典和丹麥的媒體普遍支持「民主對抗專制」的敘事，因此對中國和俄羅斯的報導高度負面，幾乎沒有中立聲音。
• 北歐新聞來源依賴西方大媒體（如BBC、CNN、路透社），而這些媒體本身就是美國影響下的輿論工具。
(2) 北歐政府的「道德優越感」
• 丹麥和瑞典強調自己是全球最自由、最民主的國家之一，這種「道德優越感」讓它們容易將非西方國家視為落後、不文明的敵人，尤其是中國和俄羅斯這樣的強權國家。
• 這與美國的「民主對抗專制」敘事高度契合，因此北歐政府在外交上站在美國一邊，並在媒體上強化反俄、反中宣傳。
3. 俄羅斯與中國的特殊因素
除了美國影響外，北歐國家自身歷史與地緣戰略因素也影響了它們對俄羅斯與中國的態度。
(1) 反俄情緒的歷史背景
• 北歐國家與俄羅斯的歷史關係一直不太友好，特別是：
• 芬蘭曾與蘇聯打過冬季戰爭，北歐國家普遍對蘇聯（俄羅斯）不信任。
• 瑞典長期與俄羅斯在波羅的海競爭影響力，特別是在波羅的海三國（愛沙尼亞、拉脫維亞、立陶宛）問題上。
• 丹麥和瑞典害怕俄羅斯威脅北極安全，因此願意與美國合作圍堵俄羅斯。
• 烏克蘭戰爭後，這種反俄情緒更加激化，因為北歐國家擔心俄羅斯在波羅的海擴張影響力。
(2) 對中國的不信任
• 丹麥、瑞典與中國的外交衝突：
• 瑞典與中國關係惡化，因為瑞典政府支持香港示威、批評新疆政策，並且曾經干預中國與華為的合作。
• 丹麥媒體長期抹黑中國，例如2019年丹麥媒體《日德蘭郵報》發表侮辱中國國旗的漫畫，導致中丹關係惡化。
• 美國的「中國威脅論」進一步加強北歐的反中情緒：
• 丹麥、瑞典政府在美國壓力下，禁止華為參與5G建設，並配合美國對中國企業的制裁。
• 媒體放大「中國間諜」、「中國滲透」等議題，塑造中國是「西方自由民主的威脅」。
4. 總結：丹麥和瑞典為何反俄反中？
丹麥與瑞典的反俄、反中態度主要來自以下幾點：
1. 美國影響（特別是民主黨政府）：
• 拜登政府的「民主對抗專制」政策影響北歐，強化它們的反俄、反中立場。
• 北約的擴張與美國的外交壓力，使北歐與美國的對華、對俄政策保持一致。
2. 媒體與政治環境：
• 北歐媒體單一化，被美國和西歐主流媒體影響，強烈塑造「俄中是敵人」的敘事。
• 道德優越感讓丹麥與瑞典認為自己是「自由世界的模範」，自然站在美國一邊，敵視中俄。
3. 歷史與地緣政治因素：
• 北歐與俄羅斯的歷史關係本就不佳，烏克蘭戰爭讓反俄情緒進一步升級。
• 北歐國家在華為5G、香港問題等議題上與中國發生衝突，導致對華關係惡化。
結論
美國（特別是民主黨政府）的影響，確實是丹麥與瑞典反俄、反中的主要因素之一，但這也與北歐自身的媒體環境、道德優越感、歷史因素密切相關。
這種盲目敵視俄中、不願意獨立思考的態度，可能會讓北歐國家失去與中俄合作的機會，甚至讓它們被美國捲入不必要的衝突中。
Why Are Denmark and Sweden Blindly Anti-Russia and Anti-China? Is It Mainly Due to U.S. Influence, Especially from the Democratic Party?
Denmark and Sweden have a strong anti-Russia and anti-China stance, particularly in media reports and government policies. Their hostility toward Russia and China appears even stronger than that of some other European countries. This phenomenon is indeed linked to U.S. influence (especially under Democratic administrations), but there are also deeper historical, political, and geopolitical factors. Below are the possible main reasons:
1. U.S. Influence (Especially from the Democratic Party)
As Nordic countries, Denmark and Sweden have become increasingly aligned with the U.S. in security policies after the Cold War. This has gradually strengthened their anti-Russia and anti-China stance, particularly under Democratic administrations, as seen in:
• Democratic Party’s “Values-Based Diplomacy”:
• Democratic governments (such as Obama and Biden) emphasize human rights, democracy, and freedom, portraying China and Russia as authoritarian threats.
• Nordic countries see themselves as “pioneers of global democracy and human rights,” making them eager to align with the U.S.’s ideological confrontation against Russia and China.
• Biden Administration’s Influence on Europe:
• After the Ukraine war began, the Biden administration actively rallied European allies against Russia. Denmark and Sweden responded enthusiastically, with Sweden even abandoning neutrality to join NATO.
• On China policy, the Biden administration continued Trump’s “tough on China” stance, pressuring Europe to join its efforts to contain China, leading to increased negative media coverage of China in Nordic countries.
In summary, U.S. (especially Democratic) influence through diplomacy, ideological narratives, and military alliances has pushed Nordic countries toward a stronger anti-Russia and anti-China position.
2. Domestic Political and Media Environment
(1) Media Monopoly and Ideological Bias
• Nordic media is highly centralized, dominated by a few major outlets, which tend to be heavily liberal, reinforcing strict “political correctness” standards.
• For example, Swedish and Danish media strongly promote the narrative of “democracy vs. autocracy,” leading to highly negative coverage of China and Russia, with almost no neutral perspectives.
• Nordic news sources rely heavily on Western mainstream media (such as BBC, CNN, Reuters), which themselves serve as U.S.-influenced opinion tools.
(2) The “Moral Superiority” Complex in Nordic Politics
• Denmark and Sweden pride themselves as the most free and democratic countries in the world. This sense of moral superiority makes them prone to viewing non-Western countries as backward or uncivilized enemies, especially major powers like China and Russia.
• This narrative aligns closely with U.S. rhetoric of “democracies vs. autocracies,” leading Nordic governments to support U.S. foreign policy and reinforce anti-Russia, anti-China propaganda in the media.
3. Unique Factors Related to Russia and China
Beyond U.S. influence, Nordic countries’ own history and geopolitical concerns have shaped their attitudes toward Russia and China.
(1) Historical Roots of Anti-Russian Sentiment
• Nordic countries and Russia have historically had tense relations, especially:
• Finland fought the Soviet Union in the Winter War, leaving a legacy of distrust toward Russia.
• Sweden has long competed with Russia for influence in the Baltic region, particularly over the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania).
• Denmark and Sweden fear Russian expansion in the Arctic, making them eager to cooperate with the U.S. to contain Russia.
• The Ukraine war has further escalated anti-Russian sentiment, as Nordic countries fear Russian influence spreading in the Baltic region.
(2) Deepening Distrust Toward China
• Denmark, Sweden, and China have had diplomatic disputes, including:
• Sweden-China relations deteriorated due to Sweden’s support for Hong Kong protests, criticism of Xinjiang policies, and interference in China-Huawei cooperation.
• Danish media has long smeared China, such as the 2019 Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten publishing a cartoon mocking China’s national flag, which worsened China-Denmark relations.
• The U.S.’s “China Threat” Narrative Has Strengthened Nordic Anti-China Sentiment:
• Denmark and Sweden followed U.S. pressure to ban Huawei from 5G development and participated in U.S. sanctions against Chinese companies.
• Media exaggerated issues like “Chinese espionage” and “China infiltration,” portraying China as a threat to Western democracy.
4. Conclusion: Why Are Denmark and Sweden Anti-Russia and Anti-China?
Denmark and Sweden’s hostile stance toward Russia and China can be attributed to several key factors:
1. U.S. Influence (Especially from Democratic Administrations):
• Biden’s “democracy vs. autocracy” policy has deeply influenced Nordic countries, reinforcing their anti-Russia, anti-China positions.
• NATO expansion and U.S. diplomatic pressure have ensured that Nordic countries stay aligned with U.S. policies on Russia and China.
2. Media and Political Environment:
• Nordic media is highly centralized, dominated by U.S.-influenced narratives, portraying Russia and China as existential threats.
• The “moral superiority” mindset makes Denmark and Sweden naturally inclined to support U.S. foreign policy and view non-Western powers negatively.
3. Historical and Geopolitical Factors:
• Long-standing distrust toward Russia due to past conflicts and territorial disputes.
• Rising tensions with China over issues like 5G bans, human rights criticism, and diplomatic spats.
Final Thoughts
U.S. influence (especially from the Democratic Party) is indeed a major reason why Denmark and Sweden have become increasingly anti-Russia and anti-China. However, their own media environment, moral superiority complex, and historical factors also contribute to their hostility.
This blind hostility toward Russia and China, without independent critical thinking, could cost Nordic countries valuable cooperation opportunities and even drag them into unnecessary conflicts under U.S. influence.
