I think almost no one here real know China and Chinese people.
The only things you know are information control, human right, tibet.


Anything else?

I'm sympathetic about your ignorance. How can you believe your Gov and media? Are they are all ture? Can they be trust?hah

Did you ever used your mind to think?

Chinese Gov lost many people's trust in China right now,So ,people can think themselves.

But your western countries naive innocent people's only info resource is western media.They attack China more than Africa Country.WHy?

Singapore is a dictative country,and traditionary.Know? BUt their Gov is top in the world,why?tell me .hah

You western people intelligence is lower than Chinese people ,you should admit,so you are easier to be brainwashed than Chinese people.hah

You gov just use you to win the ideology war, do you still sleep? Wake up~haha

you can't debate?haha


Why couldn't i ?

I already gave you something to meditate about. But if you insist...

They attack China more than Africa Country.WHy?


Most of Africa isn't part in anyway of the World-Economy, the only inegrated parts of Africa are in a highly peripheral position relatively to the World-Economy. This translate in practice by the fact that African countries are considered as inexistant or irrelevant. China on the other hand is on its way to get into a central position into the World-Economy... So China can be considered as a rival/partner/whatever but what matter is that what happens in China impact Western life.

At least make the effort to point to what kind of reasons about what subject you would like to see me giving.

I'm not American, i'm European. Europe is the biggest financial contributor to development projects in Africa (even if it's not sufficient).

they should control you and use you to win the war of ideology[


They would have hard times using me to win an ideological war. Since my ideological orientation is often contrary to the main ideologies promoted in the US.

And an advice, be more humble and polite, if you want to be heard.

Yes well some of us have lived in China, and I'm convinced that Chinese don't understand the West. For all their complaints about Westerners and Western bias, they don't understand anything about Western culture or Westerners outside of Hollywood and the NBA.

The only things you know are information control, human right, tibet.


Uhm well lets see....

I know all about corruption.

I know 99% of Chinese Schools and Universities hire foreigners to teach English with or without the proper visa without worry because, "The government doesn't like to punish itself"

I know the (local) government *loves* to print stories of prostitution busts, despite such places being very visible, and locations being common knowledge to the general public. Oops, guess they forgot to pay off the police.

I know grand public campaigns to stop DVD piracy but with policemen themselves buying from the same DVD vendors. Went into a shop where a guy told me to come back the next day, since the police had informed him they were doing a raid. How nice of them to give him a warning.

I remember large protests in the streets of 武汉 (Wuhan) because the government was (once again) smashing homes to put in a new shopping mart. Compensation? 1,200RMB. Not nearly enough, but hey, what can they do? Complain to the government?

I also remember the time I was looking out the window over at 中南财经大学 (Zhongnan University of Economics and Law), watching a lone student get jumped by fifteen guys, with a policeman standing 10 feet away, looking in disinterest, and leaving the guy laying on the sidewalk. Two passing university girls came over to help. Man, the 公安 really don't do much, do they? My students weren't especially surprised. "This is China", they said, as if that explained everything.

And I love that little phrase often used when anything odd, weird or bad about China is talked about----"It's China!" Most often used in response to anything that seems totally illogical or unreasonable, and by shady taxi drivers who apparently handle baggage fees for the airport, paid directly to them, because hey, "It's China".

You western people intelligence is lower than Chinese people ,you should admit,so you are easier to be brainwashed than Chinese people.hah


Was that before or after the Cultural Revolution?

Considering most Chinese I know decry their education system as completely ineffective, lacking in direction, and with such intense focus on examinations that a great many go on back to school for masters and doctorate degrees because they learned *nothing* about their major throughout college, I take your claim rather skeptically.

And this also comes from the same country that made kids go to school wearing red ties, who, when doing a good deed, should never give their name, but instead give credit to the Communist Party, for all good things come from the Party. :lol:

Besides, if my knowledge and information comes from personal experience living in China, who's brainwashing me? China? Chinese? Your entire premises of this post is that we know nothing about China except from Western news. How does that apply to people who've gone and lived there? Hmm?

Code: Select allgood for China just Mao didnot contorl it well


I've never a met a Chinese, until you, that thought the CR was in any way positive.

=======================================
Haha ,of course China has it problem,we don't like our police in the rough,or even hate.

But do you know what Chinese people knows?en ?

Only cultrue revolution ideology?




And I love that little phrase often used when anything odd, weird or bad about China is talked about----"It's China!"

=====================================
Many people hate the dark side more than you.BUt do you think your comlain is any help?hah

Do you think another Gov can bring our good life? That's divided,disunified.

I've never a met a Chinese, until you, that thought the CR was in any way positive.


So you less of experience, many of us can find the positive part of CR

You just see the one result in the history,you cannot imagine by you little brain what China would be if there are no CR in that time.

Mao is a great man, he know

baidu ,goole will teach you how to find more thought in China

Besides, if my knowledge and information comes from personal experience living in China, who's brainwashing me? China? Chinese? Your entire premises of this post is that we know nothing about China except from Western news. How does that apply to people who've gone and lived there? Hmm?

Well his shit worked. Wasn't, after all, the goal of state socialism to replace the role of capitalism in expanding the means of production? Deng's economic policy did that far better than Mao's ever did.

I know it's off-topic, but this thread is ridiculous anyway, so whatever.

I agree that it is possible to defend Deng Xiaoping Thought from within a Marxist ideological framework, and I don't deny its real achievements in expanding the forces of production, but I regard it as a politically extremely risky strategy for the Party to pursue, due to the vastly increased risk of a full capitalist restoration. Besides, I couldn't resist poking fun at post-Mao revisionism in China. ;)

Hey, your post was a welcome break from corleniet's monomaniacal ramblings. :)

The real China and Chinese people? Perhaps you could enlighten me as to what you mean.
corleniet wrote:The only things you know are information control, human right, tibet.

You forgot to mention Taiwan and Xinjiang, although I admit there is not as much interest in such a place as Xinjiang.

corleniet wrote:I'm sympathetic about your ignorance. How can you believe your Gov and media? Are they are all ture? Can they be trust?hah

This is implying that I do in fact blindly follow my media and government, which of course is false. Which makes me wonder who the ignorant one is? Do you understand New Zealanders? What do you know about New Zealand or the western world in general which enables you to make such claims about our news and governments and the level of trust we put in them?

corleniet wrote:Did you ever used your mind to think?

Yes.

corleniet wrote:But your western countries naive innocent people's only info resource is western media.They attack China more than Africa Country.WHy?

What are you trying to suggest with this attack on Africa? What do you know about the people or their situation?
corleniet wrote:Singapore is a dictative country,and traditionary.Know? BUt their Gov is top in the world,why?tell me .hah

Sources please, I would like to see proof of this claim.
