satirical and insulting, chinese and filipinos both gain something from each other. Most of the chinese traders before are now Business tycoons here in the Philippines.. how so? many corruptions are happening here in our country and most of them are chinese origins. take Lucio Tan, how much did he got from Filipinos? should he return those things so that Filipinos wont slave themselves to other countries? Before you make undesirable comments, make sure u look at every facet of things.

If you study history we have been look down and make fun by many nations. Now China is becoming stronger day after day. We Chinese, stand up and be proud, rebuild and fortify our Middle Kingdom.

I think that satirical article violated the first rule of satire – it’s not funny, even in English. At best, it’s weak humor. Of course, I live in the US, so maybe I don’t get HK/British humor.

As a Filipino American with a degree in Chinese and who lived in China for two years, I think the article itself and the reactions to it by both the Filipinos and the Chinese are *utterly* hilarious. Cheers, Tsao.

It is ironic that Fillipine was the richest country in south East Asia back in 1950′s Compare to them Singapore is a malaria invested poor house But fast forward 50 years you will see thousand of Fillipinas maid congregate in Orchard Road the main drag in Singapore on Sunday.

Fillipine has democracy since 1950 but by itself democracy doesn’t guarantee a dignity and good life for its people

There are now 130,000 Fillipino Maid in Singapore and 150,000 in Hongkong And yet the purveyor of democracy touted their supposedly superior system to China Who need them?

3000+ posts…on one article? Geesh.

Anyway..its good to see their is still some people blogging in China that are able to put themselves in another’s shoes (apparent from the post pasted below). Compassion and empathy are extremely valuable and underutilized tools.

“”—Do not impose on others something you dislike! Why have we Chinese become so selfish today? Can’t we put ourselves in other people’s shoes? If we were them (the Filipinos), wouldn’t we stand up to defend our motherland? Think about the relations between China and Japan in the past…What’s the difference between our current behavior and the old conduct of the Japanese?”"

One could easily insert Tibetan or Uyghur in place of Philipino.
