Comments on: Chinese Duke student gets threats after China protest http://www.8asians.com/2008/04/17/chinese-duke-student-gets-threats-after-china-protest/ A blog for Asian Americans Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:44:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Akrypti http://www.8asians.com/2008/04/17/chinese-duke-student-gets-threats-after-china-protest/comment-page-2/#comment-65395 Akrypti Sun, 04 May 2008 20:11:13 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/?p=1055#comment-65395 szwpang: I've been waiting for this opinion and commentary to finally come out! THANK YOU. ARRGH!!!! So frustrating that it took this long. I was watching Chinese news the other night and also saw a special where commentators gave their opinions on why all the hostility toward China in the West. Loved it. Some of the best irony ever because the reasoning they gave was that the Western media is biased and has thusly brainwashed the people. Moreover, the rampant nationalism in America makes us want to be #1 and since China is rapidly catching up, we see them as a threat and thus need to break them down and paint them as demons. Again. Irony, anyone? szwpang:

In fact, i just finished watching a rediculous show on CCTV7 where they marched out 2 han chinese "experts", one with a PLA uniform on, and repeatedly analyzed the Cafferty gaff, discussing "why the westerners don't like us" and why they so misunderstand the Tibetan issue, as if that idiot Cafferty represents Western opinoin on the matter. As an educated, and hopefully intelligent Chinese person, this kind of patronizing news and commentary should embarrass and offend. if it turned out that Tibetans were deeply angry at the Chinese presence there, and had legitmate issues with the way the region is governed, woudl this matter to you? what if they insisted of independence? is the 大陆 Han chinese position on this the only valid one? The pro-China pontifs love to march out examples of US attrocities against native americans as if that gives them a free pass on Tibet. The bottom line is the issue of Tibet's independence is too big, and complicated to for most of us to understand. most either have no, low or wrong education on the matter by way of propoganda wars on both sides. A much, much more relevant and immediately addressable issue is why the Chinese people are so accepting of information from the CCTV robotic mouthpieces, andf why they get all worked up to defend a position (so-called biased western media), without a basis for making the argument - ie. an alternate, credible news source? you are arguing that CNN is biased (and i agree, for the most part), but how do you know if they are biased on teh tibetan issue? please, for the love of God, tell me? And i dare you to find a source that does not start with a C...and end with a..V. The fact that the CCP kicked all other media groups out of Tibet makes this a rhetorical question. Shrek, do you actually know the history of tibet, and from whence does this education come? and can you dissociate yourself with your nationalist feelings long enough to question if your opinion on this matter is jaded by biased history lessons, and further misguided by love of country? i personally have little knowledge on the subject, but i HAVE lived in China for more than 10 years (and visited tibet several times) and watched CCTV 4,5,6..X daily, and i find the coverage on the subject laughable.
