The Propaganda on Propaganda

If I get one penny every time I heard of propaganda being blamed for why the Chinese people, even those live overseas, defend China and Chinese government policies, I would be a billionaire right now, but then again, I am still one of those poor souls who are brainwashed by the Chinese government.
 
Does the Chinese [...]

China’s view of Tibet

China’s view of Tibet is an informative article by Kishore Mahbubani — dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. Educated westerners do have some knowledge of the past while most others that I have encountered do not have a clear picture of how China has viewed the [...]

Darfur, Sudan, Oil, America, and China

It is amazing how so much evil is caused by the fight for natural resources. Some countries that had done so much crime as colonialists and slave traders to Africa are now coming back in the disguise of champions of human rights. Does an African country like Sudan need political advices from the western world? Afterall, they [...]

Propaganda at work

There is a nice article titled Military Propaganda Pushed Me Off TV by Jeff Cohen in which he talks about how “mainstream” corporate media has manufactured fake debates with propadanda experts to disseminate misinformation to the American public.
The striking term he used is “information dominance”. This is a very interesting terminology because in a society with “free [...]

Bad China

I had the chance to see a performance of the American version of angry youth today. I was in a cafe trying to work, and was disturbed by a bunch of youth talking around the counter, which was not too close to where I sit. But the talk was so heated and loud that I [...]

Here They Go Again – West Continues to Demonize Chinese

On April 24th 2008, tens of thousands of Chinese gathered in Canberra, the capital of Australia to show their support for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.  For the large part, the torch run was successful and everybody was happy.
 
Well, not quite, not everybody.  Not to some 500 exiled Tibetan supporters, and certainly not to Mr. Garry [...]

Trade between USA and China

Much had been said about trade deficit between USA and China. The crux of the argument is always that USA has been running a huge trade deficit against China over the recent years that this has becoming a problem. The fact that this has bothered some people is not manifested in visible impact on losing [...]

Stealing a line from Freedom Farm, all animals are free, but some animals are freer than others. The story tells that a group of animals felt so free themselves that they decided to free the animals in another farm by attacking them. [...]

An observation of debates with anti-China fundamentalists over the Tibet issue

Since the Tibetan riot and massive media distortion began, I’ve been reading different posts, threads, essays and arguments over the Tibetan issue. When pro- and anti-China groups clash over the issue, it usually goes like this:
Anti- China (A): Free Tibet!
Pro-China (P): Tibet belongs to China, no need to free!
A: China invaded Tibet!
P: No invasion. Here [...]

The Shadow of Dalai Lama

http://www.iivs.de/~iivs01311/SDLE/
This is a very long book talking about the secret life of Dalai Lama and his inner circles.
The book is so long that I can’t even finish reading it for lack of time.
However, if you really hate the Nazis and other mass murderers, you may find these portions very interesting

The following is an essay published in a forum in Seattle. I can’t find the original link so that I reproduce the original article here. If the author sees this [...]

The Myth of Tibet Genocide

by Terminator
Dalai Lama and the Tibet Government in Exile, as well as the western media have never presented any solid evidence or disclosed any reliable source to support their repeated accusation that the Chinese government killed 1.2 million Tibetans between 1949 – 1979. On the contrary, almost all academic scholars and many pro-Tibet advocaters have [...]

中文版本
Dalai Lama’s Five Point Peace Plan is often mentioned as a proof that he is peace loving man while the Chinese government is simply too evil to negotiate with him. Let’s take a closer look at his holiness’s peace plan, shall we?

If you insult a Dragon …

This is an article by Matt Leighton and Patrick Grumley published in Minnesota Daily found at http://www.mndaily.com/articles/2008/04/17/72166730.
The title is a little misleading since the article mainly criticizes the false arguments targeted at China in the past and recent days.  The main topics range from trade relations, Darfur, Tibet, Nationalism, to even out-sourcing. It is a [...]
