Avoid topics by asking questions instead of answering

Question for answer means not willing to answer the other party's questions, but to create new questions for the other party to answer.

It's a coincidence that it's not. On the surface, it seems to answer the other person's question seriously, but in the words, it is a question that runs counter to the content of the other person's question, and challenges the other person in the way of rhetorical question or set question. Therefore, question answering method is usually used to avoid the other side's sensitive questions.

Chinese ambassador to India Li Lianqing held a press conference in early 1986. At the conference, a reporter suddenly asked a question, but Li Lianqing skillfully answered it——

Reporter: it is said that China is helping Pakistan test nuclear weapons in Xinjiang. What's your opinion on this?

Li Lianqing: "Ju" is a speculative term. It is not prudent to use such a term on such an important issue. According to who? Where is the evidence? It is well known that China's consistent principled stand for the destruction of nuclear weapons is to break the nuclear blackmail of superpowers and eventually destroy them. How can China help another country to develop weapons?

This is a typical rhetorical question instead of answering. The reporter's sharp questions obviously have a certain political purpose. In the face of the reporter's major right and wrong questions, we need to think a little calmly, and then choose a method which is not only elegant, but also skillfully evasive of the other party's sensitive questions. At this time, Ambassador Li's use of questions instead of answers, that is, from a long series of counter questions, not only shows China's position of not engaging in nuclear expansion, but also shows that China does not engage in nuclear expansion It criticizes the reporter's shadowy behavior. Superficially, it seems that it digs off the topic and answers the wrong questions, but actually it plays a powerful role in rendering.

Not everyone is familiar with the use of question instead of answer. The key is that the user should put himself in a correct position and identify the intention of the other person's question. Sometimes, the other party suddenly puts forward "complex questions", which is intended to lure you into his preset trap, so keep vigilant. For example, when you find that the assumption contained in the other person's question is unacceptable to you, don't simply affirm or deny it. You can look for another topic that is related to or similar to the original topic. It's better to deal with the other person like a question or answer than to refuse to answer.
