Tell Me Why

China

Tell Me Why  Our motherland is developing healthily, rapidly, powerfully as you can see. In politics, we have a stronger voice; in economy, we have more money, we have more “Made-in-china”; in culture, we have set up two hundred ten Confucius Institutes in sixty-four countries and regions until July of two thousand seven and the two numbers are increasing.  We have made more and better achievements in different fields in thirty years of reform and opening-up. Now China has become one of international stages from the ashes of wars. Of course, compared to some of the western countries, we still have a long way to go, we still have to learn from Russia, France, the United States, Japan and something. We would be one of superpowers one day, and we believe we will. Japan just took more than twenty years to become economic big power from the ruins of the World War Two, which, I think, is the best example for us. We have flying man Liu Xiang, some people say it’s a miracle, but we have reason to believe that China has and will have more miracles. My fellow-men and I have great expectation for our country and we each have been trying so hard to do our own work and uniting under the five-star red flag to face all trouble. However, now I’m a little bit troubled by the unfair actions of very few western media, politicians, groups and something. They take Darfur, human rights, the 14th Dalai Lama and other stuff for excuses by design to suppress China and interfere in its internal affairs . What they have been doing are unjust, unreasonable, evil, decided by their imagination not the truth. They say, like a dictator of the world, China is wrong here and wrong there, without seeing China’s progress.  Recently, the host Jack Cafferty of CNN, said on April ninth, that “So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they’re basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they’ve been for the last 50 years.” What he said can not defame China, but just proves him the evilest thug. If I may say so, Jack Cafferty, shame on you, your bad behavior brings shame on the United States. Yet, to make matters worse, there are still more “Jack Cafferty.”  What we need is a bridge, not a wall. However, why do they or some of the advanced western countries suppress China? Is it because China not only is the biggest socialist country but also developing very rapidly? Is China a threat to the developments of those people’s counties?  Tell me why, please! I’m pretty looking forward to your reply. Thanks so much!

Same feeling with you,yes!I think the presses from the western countries just show they are worrying about our country's stronging day by day and day.

Two feelings:one side I am glad that we can see our country is growing so rapidly recent years and also on the other side worrying about the presses from western countries.

Since the Olympic will be opened in Beijing this summer,every kinds of evil things happened one by one:the Tibet riot and followed the wrong reports by western medias,even the torch was snatched in Paris, when I saw such reports,I cann't help clamping my teeth…all the things they have done just wanted to destroy the imaganation of China in the world,at that time I murmured:Hope

So I think it just  because the more powerful of our country that makes the western countries feel scared.

We can make our country more big and powerful but we can not stop the western counties feeling thread of us.

China has built the wall. It isn't the Chinese people, it is the government which does not allow opposition or open discussion for change. But the US is the same. Don't pay attention to the US. Don't look to them for answers. Look inside your prisons, look at what your government does to people who want change. But don't listen to CNN. CNN is a not a voice of the US nation, it is a mouthpiece for the governement, just as Fox is. Look for the honest sources, look for the truth. You won't find it in China and you won't find it in the US. Check out cbc.ca for an unbiased opinion. Listen to some of the podcasts there. Your question is a good one but you have to know that what you hear in China is not the truth and what the American people usally hear is not the truth. The truth is out there. It is in your prisons, in your jails. People who have tried to tell you the truth are now prisoners in their own country. The blogs you read in Chinese are written by your own government, not by free individuals.

Thanks so much for your comments.

Here I wanna say something to Mapleleafman, that all people lead a nice life except a prisoner doing penance for his sins in a country of 1.3 billion people. the prisoner told a lie about treatment by government, then few western advanced countries said this were a nation without human rights and democracy all day long. Is this just the style of your dealing with other nations?

 It's ridiculous.

I think that being supressed by developed countries is unavoidable.After going through some enomic or political prosess,they had had their points of view.So just like adults like to intrude children's future.They will ask you not to do whatever they think is wrong. 

After reading  Mapleleaf Man's opinion,I was suprised that whether even in developed countries,journalism still cannot be seperated from politics.

I was born In China, I've lived in China for 23 years.

I understand and love China not because it's my motherland but a good, just, democratic and free country.

All of you don't know China, most of you never come to China. You hear and see the biased news and start defame China. that's your style.

who tell you that government does not allow the opposition and open discussion? Do you think that the opposition and open discussion must be like those the Democratic party against Republic party? we have only a pary in power, opposition could come about in civilians,out-parties and the party in power. Anytime you can raise the questons or make the open discussion.  (which may be the biggest reason why you don't understnd China, you always think it's democratic only to have several parties in power.)

In short, we enjoy sufficient freedom you couldn't imagine in our country.

In our country,anytime, anywhere, we can hear the voice of any country, but you, never hear the voice of China. If you wanna see a just, democratic, free China. you are supposed to make a visit to China. stop hearing the biased news from the stuff that want to suppress the powerful China.     welcome so mcuh.
