John

Why do you see hostility everytime someone has anything critical to say about China?
Listen to the news or read a newspaper in any Western country, and surprise!
It’s all critical and not only with regards to China!

Media are there to bring issues to people’s attention. Nothing wrong about that.
Chinese media have been lulling the Chinese for too long.

Welcome to the 21st century!

For your information there are millions of Taiwanese living in China and Large number of Japanese too specially in Dalian,Shanghai and Every year there are 3 million Japanese tourist visiting China. I don’t see any problem with Japanese people as such maybe their goverment is different because they are competitor and Japanese is fast loosing influence in Asia

I’m not so sure about Taiwanese or Japanese the one that I talk to doesn’t show hostility toward China. In my younger year I spend a lot of time in Thailand even learn their language, You probably doesn’t know officialy there are only 10% of Chinese descent in Thailand but unofficially maybe half the population has Chinese ancestor one way or another including the King , I used to share the same office with a Burmese lecturer and He seems to be friendly to China

John,

isn’t that a bit of a camp mentality there?

The Taiwanese and Japanese happen to have the same view, and they are as “yellow” as your mainland Chinese…

And a Burmese refugee that I knew didn’t talk friendly of the Chinese in his hometown of Mandalay either…

How many Thai and Laotians have you talked to?

Thanks but I questioned the credibility of the author David Bandursky the purveyor of democracy probably funded by NED and well known China basher

When he meant the world he meant WESTERN world of course they all hate China because of the ghost of yellow peril still has not been expunged from their consciousness. But if you talk to Thai,Laotian,and other Asian you will get different prespective

John,
coincidentally there has been an article in the Australian on the same issue very worthwhile reading:

John,
did you know that China once was not only a mercantile power but also a civilizational power that inspired the whole of East Asia?
This is called soft power nowadays.
America has hard as well as soft power.
China is fast expanding its hard power, but that alone will not do if China wants to stand tall in the world…

Some one can wrote an article devoid of fact and reality just to sell their ideology Here is the fact the combined GDP of Brazil and India is only 2 trillion dollar half of China 4 trillion dollar.So where is this Idea that Brazil and India will lead the developing country other than figment of imagination !

john, when ever somebody wrote something about the china and the communist, you always says its anti-china. thats thier freedom to express their views which china doesn’t have. you seesm to be either totally brainwashed by communist regime or you are one of those people. for me the comment made by him sees the reality. country without rule of law, iron fist, people with no rights to say, propaganda, rubberstamp parliament members clearly says loud. famous chinese foreign minister’s quote’doom to failure” thats will come to china.
