刷屏的美国“斩杀线”与中共的大外宣

刷屏的美国“斩杀线”与中共的大外宣

解滨

在过去的五天里，在中共海外宣传机器的推动下，一个新词“美国斩杀线”在国内外华人社交媒体上疯传。每小时都有大量围绕这一主题的新文章、视频和故事涌现。结果，人们突然意识到美国是个地狱——是中产阶级、不幸者以及遭受突发意外打击的人们的地狱！

这一发现令人震惊：美国社会中居然隐藏着一条支配美国人现实生活的“斩杀线”。简而言之：每个美国人在斩杀线以上时都享受生活；然而，一旦生活因任何变故跌破此线，且不说底层，就连中产阶级也将难以承受生活的重击，被一波带走。等待你的是来自社会系统的全面“一击即中”。对于一个突然收到解雇通知（Pink Slip）的美国打工人来说，这等同于死亡倒计时！

卧槽！

那么，这个“斩杀线”究竟是什么？它有多恐怖？

这就是那个神奇的数字：400美元！ 没错，四百刀，一分不多。

证据在此：根据美联储2025年发布的最新《美国家庭经济福祉报告》，约37%的美国成年人表示，他们无法用现金或即时储蓄支付400美元的意外开支——这些人要么根本付不起，要么只能依靠信用卡“先刷后付”、借钱、卖东西、典当，甚至求助于高利贷。

这意味着，一旦面临汽车抛锚、紧急牙科护理、孩子突然生病或热水器爆裂等小意外，许多人将立即滑入债务深渊。

哇！我在美国生活了快39年，还是头一回听说这么可怕的事。我记得20世纪80年代末我在美国读研时，靠着每月600美元的助教津贴过日子，有一天我的GMC Hatchback 在路上抛锚后，我居然还付得起400多美元拖车和维修费（准确地说是420美元）。当时我的月总收入加上在学校餐厅打工的收入不到900美元 —我那时是一个地道的底层或“无产”学生。

“美国斩杀线”理论并未止步于此。根据他们的说法，400美元就像一把割肉的小刀，而医疗系统则是斩首的巨斧。他们举的一个例子是：有个美国人出了车祸却拒绝救护车送医，因为他付不起账单。

听起来像是真的，但根据我的个人经验，这种理论就像个中国式的笑话。2001年，在911后的经济低迷期，我被我当时的雇主Sprint解雇了（当时我已经入籍）。他们给了我6个月的遣散费，但我只拿了一个月 — 我在30天内就重新入职了。在给Sprint工作之前，我有一个同事（也是朋友）因无法支付信用卡账单而申请破产。然而，七年后她在堪萨斯城郊区买了一套四居室的房子。我就问两个简单的数字： 在疫情期间，美国政府给普通美国人以及美国企业多少疫情救济金？ 中国政府给过普通家庭多少钱？

事实是，在中国，每个人确实都需要在银行存大量现金才能生存——如果不想最后流落街头，或者不想让亲人在生病时被医院拒之门外。从信用卡借钱？中国人经常分不清信用卡和银行借记卡。中国自己的安全网就是个笑话，但他们却嘲笑美国的安全网浪费且愚蠢。好吧，那是美国自己的事，不是吗？

“美国斩杀线”理论的创作者是一个在美国没有工作的中国留学生。对他来说，“斩杀线”可能真实也可能虚假，但我敢打赌，如果他因为任何急病进入美国急诊室，没有人会要求他预付巨款（像中国医院那样），而且他的巨额账单很可能会被免除——由美国纳税人买单。我打赌：如果他在美国有妻儿，他孩子的出生费很可能是由你我支付的，而不是中共，甚至不是这里的华人社区。这个愚蠢的斩杀线理论之所以疯传，仅仅是因为中共需要它来抹黑美国，让共产中国看起来很伟大。

事实胜于雄辩。我看到成百上千甚至上万的在美华人在微信、中文网站和抖音上谈论“美国斩杀线”，嘲讽美国社会，取笑美国的民主和资本主义，但到目前为止，没有一个人表示愿意离开美国回到他们的共产中国，一个都没有！相反，他们还在攻击ICE（移民局）对中国“移民”太严厉。

我认为ICE和美国驻华大使馆对那些亲共的学生和移民需要更“严厉”一些，因为他们很可能是中共的间谍或代理人。他们真心痛恨美国，却想方设法留在这里,为什么？就像每一个在中共统治下出生的孩子一样，我从小就被教导长大后要消灭美国和资本主义世界，做共产主义的接班人。我是共产主义的叛徒，但多很多人不是。

美国需要在自己的领土上，斩断这条“中共线”。

（注： 本文原文是英文， 英文原文如下：）

In last 5 days, pushed by CCP overseas propaganda machines, a new phrase “US kill line” has gone viral on domestic and overseas Chinese social media. In every hour there are many new articles, videos and stories around this subject come out. As the result, people suddenly realized that America is a hell, a hell for midclass, a hell for people who are unfortunate, and a hell for people who are hit by any unpredictable sudden events.

The discovery is shocking: there is a hidden “kill line” (斩杀线) in American society which dominates American people’s real life. Here is the short description: Every American enjoys life when they are above this kill line. However, once someone’s life falls below this line due to any event, not to mention the lower class, even the middle class will struggle to withstand the blows of life and be taken away in a wave, what awaits you is a comprehensive 'one-hit takeout' from the social system. For an American worker who suddenly receives a pink slip, it equals a countdown to death!

What the F!

So exactly what is the “Kill Line” and how horrifying is it?

Here is the magic number: FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS! Yes, $400.00! Not a penny more.

Here is the proof: According to the latest report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households published by the Fed Reserve in 2025, about 37% of American adults still report that they cannot cover an unexpected expense of $400 with cash or immediately accessible savings — these people either cannot pay at all or can only rely on credit cards to “swipe now and pay later”, borrowing money, selling things, pawn, or even resort to high-interest loans.

This means that once faced with a minor accidents like a car breakdown, urgent dental care, a child suddenly falling ill, or a water heater bursting, many will immediately slide into the abyss of debt.

WOW! I have lived in America for almost 39 years and this is the first time I ever heard such a scary thing. I remember back in the 1980s when I was in graduate school living on $600 teaching assistantship I could afford more than $400, exactly $420 after my GMC hatchback broke down on the road. At that time my total monthly income was less than $900 (I worked in school cafeteria part time) — an authentic low-class or non-class student.

The US kill line theory doesn’t end here. According to their argument, $400 is like a small knife cutting flesh, then the medical system is a giant axe decapitating. One example they provided is that someone got a car accident but refused to be taken to ER by an ambulance — can’t afford bills.

Sounds like true but according to my personal experience that theory is like a Chinese joke. In 2001 I was laid off by Sprint after 911 economic downturn (I was already naturalizated then). They gave me 6 month severance pay but I only took one month of it — I was hired back within 30 days. Prior to my Sprint job I had a coworker (a friend as well) who declared bankruptcy after failing to pay credit card bills. However, seven years later she bought a 4-bedroom house in KC suburb.

It is true that in China everybody needs a lot of cash in bank to live and to survive — if a person doesn’t want to end up on street or doesn’t want their loved ones to be turned away by hospitals when sick. Borrowing money from credit cards? Chinese people often mixed up credit cards with bank debit cards. China’s own safety net is a joke, but they joke about American safety net as wasteful and foolish. Well, that’s American business, isn’t it?

The creator of “US Kill Line” theory is a Chinese student who doesn’t have a job here. For him, the “kill line” may or may not be real, but I bet in case he checks into an American ER for any illness, nobody will ask him to pay $$$$$$ upfront (like Chinese hospitals do) and his hospital bills will likely be waived — American tax payers will pay for it. Trust me: if he has a wife and kid here, his kid’s delivery bill probably was paid by you and me, not CCP, not even Chinese community here. This stupid theory has gone viral ONLY because the CCP needs it to make America look really bad and make communist China look great.

Facts always speak louder than words. I have seen hundreds even thousands of Chinese in America talking about “US Kill Line” on WeChat, on Chinese websites, and on Douyin, joking about American society, making fun of American democracy and capitalism, but so far nobody expresses their willingness to leave America and go back to their communist China, none, ZERO! Instead, they are attacking ICE for too harsh on Chinese “immigrants”.

I think ICE and U.S. Embassy in China need to a little bit “harsher” to those pro-CCP students and immigrants as they may well be the spies or agents of CCP. They really hate America but they do everything to stay here. Why? As EVERY child born in CCP China, I had been taught to wipe out America and the capitalist world after growing up, be a successor of communism. I am a traitor of communism but most others aren’t.

America needs to kill the Chinese Communist Line here on  American soil.
