Western media cannot help applying their double standard on China
Here it comes again… The western media is once again quick to apply their double standard to China in the recent riots in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Times of London is among the worst: (link) As a people, the Uighurs look more like Afghans than ethnic Chinese. Ethnically, they are a Turkic race whose homeland is at the meeting point of Asia and Europe. The area now called Xinjiang was annexed by the Chinese Empire in the 19th century, although it briefly... [Read More...]

China blamed for master-minding patriotic protests
The Times of India published an editorial title “Counter View: Chinese have a right to protest“. Quite interesting. ….Although the protests may be stage-managed, as some have suggested, there is every indication that the depth of nationalistic fervour in China has taken even the government by surprise. Restraint is being urged at every step, though the government has stopped short of outright condemnation. In any case, these protests... [Read More...]

China bashing, why?

China should be careful in making use of nationalistic feelings
The latest nationalistic hype of the Chinese inside and outside of China gets me worried. While I am angry about how the western MSM have been twisting facts to unleash their China bashing sentiments (and I’ve been quite vocal on that), I do not think stirring up extreme nationalism will do any good for China or the West. I agree that China’s foreign affairs ministry should ask CNN to apologize over a host’s comments calling the... [Read More...]
