Beijing Newspeak prt II

@swb

my my my, how you disappoint me. I put all the effort into engineering a George-Bush response and you hardly responded. From your previous responses, I was reading that you were setting up a rhetorical trap, baiting for a very American response, from which I decided to give you wholeheartedly. I expected this to be a relief for you, to give you reason to fully express your anti-Americanism like I expressed my Chinese-stupidity; responses akin to the Three Gorges Dam busting. Shame. But you did call me an idiot. “strike a raw nerve”? hypocrite. And quite expected from you.

Last time I tried to exploit a weakness in your posts. I guess I have no chose but to debate you for every argument.

First post:

Not once did you mention the core topic of this blog. Not once did you mention the flaws of the Chinese media, while you rant against the western media. You may be boarding the discussion, bringing in a new view point, even pointing out flaws in our arguments, but you very strongly imply the Chinese media is superior and everyone else are barbarians by not once mentioning the Chinese media at all while criticizing the western media. We may have “conveniently” misreported Virginia Tech, but you conveniently left out your feelings about the Chinese media.

Second post:

This is the first time you have mention that you “have touched a raw political nerve.” Oh god. You speak about American arrogance and self-rightness (with strong support and evidence), yet nothing strikes a “raw nerve” by you saying you “have touched a raw political nerve.” I have said it before and I will say it again. You *bleed* arrogance and self-rightness.

Based on your second sentence, you notice how people rant about media censorship and freedom. What you forget that censorship and freedom are the “case-zero” of this entire blog. The very foundation of this debate. The western media far, far from perfect, and we Americans are often their harshest and most frequent critic, if only by virtue to being it’s most frequent audience. China has plenty of censorship and a lack of freedom. This debate may not even happen in china; the blog censored if the topic shifts to Tiananmen Square. Have can you improve, how can you take a step forward if there is no freedom of press.

Next I will chide you and your use of the word “imperial” in your third sentence. Ignoring several counter-facts, such as how it’s the most common word used by anti-americanists, how meaningless it is, how between the US and USSR the European colonial empires that imperialism defines were dramatically dismantled, and while being the world hyperpower, America has not established colonies, against the definition of imperialism, China is not immune to the label imperialism. China has conquered Tibet (and I will leave it to that), and forever eyes Taiwan. Nuff said.

I also remembered that you called me a nationalist pig. You also used that in your third sentence. Remind me, what does the PRC govt. run on? Can’t be communism. Can’t be capitalism. Oh yes, nationalism. Fueled by demonizing the Japanese, who have forever ruined the Chinese honor. Also fueled by every international incident seen as an affront to China. And you criticized Western media, again “misreporting though omission” how china is different. In fact, the PRC encourages this nationalism, to boost their legitimacy.

Fourth post:

This is simple. You imply a top-down conspiracy. Things don’t work this way in the free world, in the most arrogant and self-righteous way. The media doesn’t have agenda. It only has greed. Greed will make honest mistakes. Greed will twist stories for maximum profit. But greed will admit mistakes. Would you like unemotional human motive control the media, or a human who seeks dominance over you to control what you hear?

Fifth post:

You “strike a raw nerve” again, criticized free press and freedom, tried to redirect criticism against you, renarrowing the discussion to the western media, and called other people as hypocrites. Oh, and you tired to blame the western media and have a “black out” about China. Again, nothing on how China is superior? I rather be a stupid-chinaman (oh, I’m sorry, an American-chinaman) than hypocrite (Chinese Bastardized form of American-chinaman).

Sixth post:

Look like it took you 12 hours to report any failings of the Chinese media. I guess you missed the 7:00 news, so you have to report your apologies on the 10:00 news. I’m sure it means a lot to you. Typical. We all Chinese think alike, don’t we?

You’re an even bigger fool than I thought if you believe the western media is a propaganda machine. How many western government have been embarrassed by it? How many leaders humiliated and forced to resign? How many famous people disgraced? Not to mention have the war in iraq is being decimated by the media alone. What has your Chinese media done?

Maybe you should ask why the western media is more trusted through out the world? Maybe it is the best, rather than trying to fit reality to your beliefs?

I’m not going to even argue about you three supposed examples. They only show the shallowness of your reasoning and even your intelligence, inadequately hiding your deep hatred for America and the west in general.

The rest of your responses are repeats of your previous posts. You are a Chinese Bastardized form of American-chinaman.
