Mao Ningbo complained that western media did not report on the pro-China protest in the Olympic torch journey in Ireland. He urged netizens to do the citizen report [zh].

    that’s true, though China is not the Inocent of nations, many western media were acting as Anti-China as they could be…

    I wonder if BBC or CNN cover anti-USA or anti-UK protests the same way they cover anti-China protests… hippocrites!

    I can’t speak for TV news, but a lot of depiction of Anti-Iraq War or anti-Israeli protests focus on the protesters and not the counter-protesters. No matter what can be said, the Chinese supporters and counter-protesters have split priorities with not creating a scene, while countering the Anti-PRC groups. This is different from the Anti-PRC groups which have had more time to build organization and who’s purpose is to cultivate as much media attention as possible, which includes creating as many scenes as possible.
