All I wonder is where was all the attention to protesters when it was antiwar folk out there, hmmm, Zionist AmeriKan MSM?
"China urges calm as anti-Western protests resume"
"by Tini Tran, Associated Press | April 21, 2008
BEIJING - Fresh anti-Western protests flared in several Chinese cities yesterday as people vented anger over pro-Tibet demonstrations along the Olympic torch relay. State media appealed for calm in an apparent attempt to dampen the nationalistic fervor.
Over the weekend, protesters waving Chinese flags rallied in front of the French Embassy in Beijing and at outlets of French retailer Carrefour in nine cities across the country. They have threatened boycotts of the retailer, which they accuse of supporting the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader - a charge Carrefour denies.
So how's the shoe feeel on the other foot, Frenchies?
A front-page editorial in the People's Daily newspaper, the official mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party, called for calm, urging people to cherish patriotism "while expressing it in a rational way."
"As citizens, we have the responsibility to express our patriotic enthusiasm calmly and rationally and express patriotic aspiration in an orderly and legal manner," the commentary said.
The editorial seemed to reflect concern among China's leaders about a growing anti-Western backlash, fueled by anger over the demonstrations in Paris, London, and San Francisco during the Olympic torch relay. The relay has become a magnet for protests against China's rule in Tibet and its human rights record.
Isn't that the effect the Zionist-controlled media wanted?
Turmoil and dissent in China so they are turned into a U.S. enemy?
Barry Sautman, a political scientist at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said the government is trying to rein in the demonstrations to ensure calm and project an inviting image ahead of the Beijing Olympics in August.
Question: Which nation wouldn't?
Think America would put up with this shit if the Olympics were coming here?
As a hint, look back on the Republican convention in New York City in 2004.
"That's why they want demonstrations to be very short," Sautman said. "They want to wrap them up as soon as possible, so they can go on to restore the image of China as welcoming to people around the world."
He said that Beijing's move to rein in the budding nationalism follows similar patterns seen in the past, such as in 1999 when anti-US outrage erupted after the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade and in 2001 when a US spy plane collided with a Chinese fighter jet.
"The government allows people to vent their spleen but then immediately reins it in," Sautman said. "They are certainly afraid it will go too far."
Like ALL GOVERNMENTS!!! China's no different than anyone else!
Yesterday, more than 1,000 demonstrators carrying banners gathered for a second day in the tourist city of Xi'an in front of a Carrefour, chanting "Oppose Tibet Independence," "Go China," and "Condemn CNN," the official Xinhua news agency reported.
Protests also continued in central Wuhan for a second day, when another 2,000 people, mostly students, waved the Chinese flag and sang the national anthem.
Rallies also were staged in the cities of Harbin, Dalian, and Jinan. An estimated 1,000 demonstrators blocked traffic in Dalian, while another 1,000 protesters in Harbin held up at a 33-foot-long banner in support of the Olympics, Xinhua said.
I just wonder why the AmeriKan press is so infatuated with these particular protests over these particular issues, while ignoring antiwar demonstrations.
Actually, I take that back: I don't wonder at all.
Xinhua reported that one protest organizer in Xi'an, identified as Wu Sheng, said the demonstrations were not necessarily aimed at pushing customers to boycott Carrefour.
"We do not support a boycott of French companies because the economy is globalizing. We chose Carrefour's front doors only because we draw more attention there," Wu was quoted as saying.
In an interview in Journal du Dimanche, Carrefour's chief executive Jose Luis Duran said the company is "taking the situation very seriously," though its earnings had not yet been affected.
With 2 million Chinese customers, "we cannot take the reaction of some of our clients lightly," he said. "It must be understood that a large part of the Chinese population has been very shocked by the incidents that have peppered the passage of the Olympic torch through Paris."
Oooooooooh, now the human rights don't mean very much, huh?!?
Yeah, not when the BOTTOM LINE is involved!!!!!
Am I ever fucking sick of WESTERN HYPOCRISY!!!!!
Duran denied rumors spread on the Internet that Carrefour supports the Dalai Lama, saying the company has never supported any political or religious cause. The retailer is the second-largest "hypermarket" in the world after
France's Wal-Mart, huh? Don't we have enough of those already?
The protests began Saturday, erupting in Beijing and five other major cities - Hefei, Wuhan, Kunming, Xi'an, and Qingdao.
In Beijing, small protests broke out at one Carrefour and outside the French Embassy as well as the Beijing French School. Dozens of police quickly dispersed the crowd in front of the embassy."Here is a two-fer:
"Dalai Lama reflects on environment"
Yup, can kill two birds with that stone.
I'd have a lot more respect for the Dalai Lama if he wasn't a CIA asset, but I guess that's why he's in the papers and was promoted so much at school.
And as if I needed to prove my point on the MSM anymore, here's another insulting Globe editorial.
"China's new nationalists"
"April 21, 2008
AS THE Summer Olympics approach, some disturbing aspects of contemporary China are coming into view. A worldwide audience has learned what human rights activists have long known about Beijing's complicity with dictatorships in Sudan and Burma. The Chinese communists' harsh repression in Tibet sparked protests along the route of the Olympic torch relay and on college campuses. And as China spreads blatant lies that the Dalai Lama is inciting violence in Tibet, the government's campaign to keep the Olympics free from politics looks like an excuse for imposing on the rest of the world the sort of censorship that prevails inside China.
China is spreading lies, huh?
Is that ever the Zionist-controlled pot calling the Chinese kettle black, isn't it?
The Zionist editorials spewing forth from AmeriKa's War Dailies reach the point of absurd arrogance, don't they, readers?
But there has also been a less obvious revelation: an increasingly zealous nationalism among Chinese youth. This mood of patriotic passion can be seen in counter-demonstrations organized by Chinese student associations in the United States against supporters of a free Tibet.
Oh, they are just incredible!!!!
Yup, SOME PROTESTS GOOD, other protests BAD, according to the damn Zionist agenda-pushers at the damn Boston Globe!
And I didn't see the Globe complaining when George W. Bush got this country whipped up into a nationalistic fervor to invade Iraq!!
No, the shit MSM was CHEERING HIM ALONG and APPLAUDING!!!!!!!
Of course, ZIONIST NATIONALISM isn't a problem to this piece of shit propaganda organ, either!!!!!!
Case closed on the AmeriKan MSM, readers!
It is no less striking in Internet imprecations fired off not only against Tibetan "splittists" but also against the rare Chinese student who dares to call for mutual understanding between Chinese and Tibetans.
This kind of witch-hunting occurred at Duke University last week, when a 20-year-old freshman from mainland China tried to encourage dialogue between a large group of Chinese student demonstrators and a smaller group of Tibetans and their supporters holding a vigil for human rights. She was vilified as a traitor.
Gee, I REMEMBER crap like that happening HERE in AMERIKA in 2003!!!!!!
I got RUN OUT of CLASSROOMS FOR IT!!!!
So take your editorial outrage and complaining, Globe, and stick it where the sun don't shine!!!!
Her personal information was released into cyberspace. Hundreds of thousands of angry and threatening posts appeared on Chinese websites. Her parents back in China were threatened and had to go into hiding for their own safety.
But it is o.k. for Zionist trolls to do that in America!
That's why I remain safely anonymous to the wider world!
It is not easy to determine how much of this nationalistic frenzy may have been fostered and organized by Chinese communist officials and how much is attributable to the sort of high-spirited group pride common to the youth of other nations. The Beijing authorities eased up on their restriction of online forums as they observed the patriotic tenor of reactions to foreign criticism.
There is a crucial distinction between a healthy, constructive nationalism and the pathological variety that Adolf Hitler sought to inject into the Berlin Olympics of 1936. Nevertheless, the nationalistic vehemence that has come into view this spring among China's best and brightest is a troubling phenomenon.Oh my God, now the Globe is comparing China to 1930s Germany!
Excuse me, but that is what BUSH and his Neo-Con crowd already cornered that market!!!!
Of course, I wouldn't expect a Zionist-controlled War press to tell you that, readers.
That's why you are here!
And note how ZIONIST NATIONALISM or AMERIKAN NATIONALISM aren't a problem!
Not when it comes to PUSHING WARS for an AGENDA and ginning up a populace on LIES, huh, Globe?!
But then again, that is "healthy, constructive nationalism," isn't it, you Zionist piece of shit?
It suggests that nationalism has replaced Maoism or Marxism as the legitimating credo of China rulers - and that the critical spirit defining the Tiananmen protests of 1989 has given way in some quarters to an emotional identification with the ancient idols of blood and soil."
So the Chinese are becoming like Iz-ray-HELL, huh, Globe?
After reading this piece of biased shit, I have only one thing left to say to the Globe's editorial staff: FUCK YOU!!!
