Highly recommend you read this post from media psychologist Pamela Rutledge which would have Chinese bloggers doing countless push-ups if they (could) read it. On the recent terrorism incidents: “I can’t imagine the hoopla in Homeland Security if the U.S. had been getting the amount of terrorist threats that China has. Is there a color above ‘red alert’? … [C]an you imagine the global outrage if terrorists were to succeed in creating havoc during the Olympics?”
