After Gu Nianzhi said this, he immediately displayed on the big screen the identity certificate that Kevin filled out when entering the country, and even a copy of the application form when he applied for a passport in the United States!
There is no race option on the US passport, but it is on the passport application. However, this option is optional and is not a mandatory option.
But Kevin didn't know why, but he checked the "Chinese" option on all these applications.
In fact, to Americans, Chinese and Japanese are all Asians. Let them differentiate between Chinese and Japanese, just like asking Chinese to differentiate between white Americans and white Europeans. It is difficult to see the difference in appearance.
And because the Chinese Empire has had a stronger international presence in recent years, many Americans will assume that he or she is of Chinese descent when they see an East Asian.
Moreover, in the past few years, all Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, and even people from Southeast Asian countries were collectively referred to as Asians in the United States, and government documents did not classify them in such detail.
With the development of the Asian community, smart, capable and hard-working Asians are getting higher and higher status in American society, and their economic conditions are getting better and better. When they are about to unite and have their own political demands, white people are anxious. , their political elites quickly came up with a very insidious method.
This is the principle of Asian segmentation.
The ethnic groups of Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Koreans, and Chinese in Southeast Asian countries that were previously collectively referred to as Asians have been reclassified and linked to various social resources.
As a result, in order to compete for limited social resources, Asians will inevitably fight among themselves and become a mess, killing the possibility of Asians being able to unite and become a political force in American politics.
Therefore, in the application documents for various U.S. government documents, Asians were previously divided into several detailed racial categories.
There are very detailed divisions between Chinese and Japanese, Korean, Indian, and people born in Southeast Asian countries.
It even became part of the identity card.
The members of Kevin's American legal team are all very familiar with this history, so when they saw Gu Nianzhi typing out this application document, they couldn't help but have expressions of confusion on their faces.
Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot? !
So much evidence was carefully prepared, and even the line between the President and the Secretary of State was opened up, but it fell down on a small racial distinction!
In government application documents, a person has only one racial attribute. Even if you are of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, you have your own separate racial attribute in the United States, which is called hybrid.
If Kevin recognized his mixed-race status, he would not fill in that he was "Chinese" when applying for a passport.
But in the information about the places where he went to school, his identity is Japanese, not Chinese.
Lu Anpeng's expression changed, and he immediately stood up and said, "Objection! The prosecution lawyer used illegal means to obtain my client's identity document. On behalf of my client, I request the court not to use these illegally obtained information!"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said: "Lawyer Lu, why do you think my information is illegal? Can't I obtain this information legally?"
Lu Anpeng was suffocated and quickly reacted, saying, "The trial of this case was suddenly announced today, but Barrister Gu has been preparing these materials for at least two months."
Gu Nianzhi was neither sure nor denied, and said meaningfully: "... each other."
Everyone knew she was talking about Kevin's diplomat status.
It turns out that just when they thought they were stalling for time, the lawyers and law enforcement officers of the Chinese Empire were not idle either...
The feelings of the members of Kevin's American legal team are really hard to describe.
The important evidence that Gu Nianzhi produced today was of course based on the information provided by Huo Shaoheng and was collected through legal means.
More than two months ago, Huo Shaoheng asked his field staff to investigate Kevin's origins abroad and discovered some very interesting phenomena.
For example, his racial issues, and of course there are other issues.
Gu Nianzhi hasn't brought it up yet.
The information and materials that can be obtained in court are all obtained through clear channels and legally certified. They are not the original materials collected by Huo Shaoheng and others.
Gu Nianzhi quickly typed out the inquiry instructions he provided to US government agencies as a lawyer.
Lu Anpeng felt like he had been punched in the face and asked in surprise: "...How can a US government agency provide you with such information involving citizens' privacy?! This is illegal!"
Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows and said casually: "How you got Kevin's diplomat status is how I got these ID application documents. If I break the law, you also break the law. How about it? In order to get me To get rid of you, why don't you first admit that you illegally obtained your client's diplomat status, and then I will admit that I illegally obtained these court evidence."
Before Lu Anpeng could speak, the Indian-born barrister immediately jumped up and said loudly: "Objection! Our diplomat qualifications were obtained legally, but your application documents were obtained illegally. They are not the same thing at all!"
He looked in the direction of the trial seat and continued to speak impassionedly: "Your Honor, the prosecution lawyer has admitted in court that her information was obtained illegally! On behalf of my client, I strongly request that the prosecution lawyer illegally obtain my client's privacy. , severely punished!"
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help it any longer, rolled his huge eyes, and said, "Which of your ears heard me say that my information was obtained illegally?! Do you have a hearing problem or an IQ problem?"
Arif, the Indian-born barrister, is most proud of his IQ. When he heard Gu Nianzhi belittle his IQ, he became furious and almost raised his fist and said, "Prosecuting attorney, don't go too far! My My Chinese proficiency has passed CET-6! And my IQ has always been very stable, thank you for your compliment!"
Gu Nianzhi put away his smile and clicked quickly on the computer to type out the complete information chain for obtaining information from the US government.
Without looking up, he said: "This is my New York State lawyer license. As an American lawyer, I am requesting legal aid from Mr. Haute, the New York Representative in the U.S. Congress, hoping that he can endorse me and immigrate to the United States." The agency accessed the original information that Kevin filled in when he applied for a U.S. passport."
"You are successful barristers in the United States. You know better than I do the regulatory functions of U.S. lawmakers on the government."
"As long as it is a request made by a member of Parliament, government agencies cannot refuse it, unless the information involves national security secrets."
"Kevin's information in the U.S. immigration agency is that he is just an ordinary citizen and does not involve any national security secrets. Therefore, the U.S. immigration agency sent Kevin's application information to Congressman Mr. Haute."
"Mr. Haute shared this information with me. I have Mr. Haute's signed letter here. Do you want to see it?"
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the mouse and looked coldly at the Indian-born lawyer Arif, "Barrister Arif, the way I obtained this information is more legal than the way you used to obtain Kevin's diplomat status. .”
Arif, an Indian-born barrister, was anxious. He scratched his head for a long time and then said: "...but you are a Chinese lawyer. Where did you get the American lawyer qualifications?!"
"Two years ago, I went to the U.S. Congress for half a year as an intern with my mentor, Professor He Zhichu." Gu Nianzhi calmly threw He Zhichu out.
Although He Zhichu has only been in this world for four years, he has already made a great name in the American legal community.
When Gu Nianzhi mentioned what was going on, even Arif, the Indian-born barrister, was stuck.
He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the Gu Nianzhi in front of him seemed to be the protégé of the legendary He Zhichu in the American legal profession.
Gu Nianzhi thought of He Zhichu, and her voice softened. She said with a smile: "Back then, my tutor forced me to take the exam to become a lawyer in New York State, USA. I was quite reluctant. I didn't expect that he would help me today." .”
She looked at everyone and said proudly: "My supervisor, Professor He Zhichu, is a very good professor. He is the kind of hard-core professor who will send mercenaries to rescue you even if you are caught by terrorists and come back to complete your thesis! "
