Okay first off lets get some things strait. Nancy Pelosi is a politician not a celebrity. Sharon Stone is Sharon Stone, everything she says you must take with a lot of salt. I know for a fact that these too where not happy when they heard about the quake. I know I was not. Such loss of life is tragic and horrible.

You also said that I “clearly” hope that violence will ensue China, which is certainly not the case. You may have misunderstood me. I was merely stating that when a minority is ignored, violence is usually the result.

Yes, most europeans and americans support any cause against terrorism but that does not mean that they love China. Many blue-collar workers in the west are not so happy as you believe because their jobs were outsourced to countries such as China and Taiwan.

Perhaps instead of bickering back and forth, (we are going nowhere this way), we could state each other’s position and where we are coming to each other. Which would force us to listen.

Are you open to this?

Before Mao Zedong had set free the Tibetan serfs, they lived in poverty and were indoctrinated by their religion to accept their fate. To get an idea of what serfdom was, you just need to look at the source where it had come from: India. Today, the caste system is still very well alive in India. To get a good at Lamaism, just compare it with Buddhism. Buddha’s face is always that serene, that compassionate, but the faces of the Tibetan gods are very fierce, scary and greenish. You cannot deny seeing yelling, combative Tibetans tearing down or setting fire to buildings, or struggling with the Nepalese police, their kind hosts. A true Buddhist monk would not do such a thing. Yet, the human rights activists have never done anything more vigorous to help the poor Indians discriminated by the caste system. Instead they have been supporting the disgruntled Tibetans living outside China in the hope of restoring Tibetan serfdom.

Western culture has enriched mankind by drawing a line between religion and secularism, and many great, heroic Europeans had paid with their lives so as to achieve their ideal and benefit future generations. Now, the human rights activists want China to let the Dalai Lama rule Tibet as both the religious head and KING. This hypocrisy of the human rights activists is far too blatant.

My dear Shackabra, you have deliberately suggested religious violence and have mentioned violent Tibetans and Uyghurs. You hope clearly that violent Tibetans and Uyghurs backed by Al Queda will damage and destroy China. But you will be disappointed because the majority of the Americans and Europeans love China and will support China in its fight against terrorism. There are, of course, the minority misguided celebrities like Richard Gere, Nancy Pelosi and Sharon Stone, who was very happy that so many people had died because of karma in the Sichuan earthquake, and indirectly in other disasters all over the world.

My dear Shackabra, Please do not ever advocate violence and please help the poor Indians in India, the impoverish all over the world, etc. China has more than 5,000 years of recorded history and has been under the influence of the magnanimous Confucius for more than 2,500 years. Human rights activists should never never teach their grandmother to suck eggs. They should divert their resources to better uses like feeding the hungry in Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia and many African and Latin American countries.

Chinese people think in terms of thousands of years. When the late Bingxin, a renown Christian writer known for her children’s essays, was asked whether she felt angry to have been vilified during the Cultural Revolution, she retorted: ‘China has a history of 5,000 years. What’s that suffering of a few years?’

“China has no place for the individualism that the West preaches. It is a society that will not allow a minority of disgruntled desperadoes to upset the peace of the majority.”

There in lies the problem. When a country embraces this type of mentality it alienates the minority(s). You might say,” So what, the majority is still happy and I am still in power.” However prolonged use of this policy can really stir up severe disgruntled feelings in the minority. This in turn generally causes the minority after a certain amount of time to take increasing action of some sort (usually it is violence, just be lucky however that the Tibetans have embraced relative non-violence. The Uighurs are another story). Now this action once severe enough will begin to infringe upon the majority’s peace. A example of this is Israel and Palestine. Even better was the conflict between the Hutus and Tutsis.

In short continued agitation between Tibet, the Uighurs, and the CCP can only result in the destruction of peace that many in China enjoy.

Oh, one more thing, you claim that the Tibet has been a part of China since the Yuan Dynasty. However true that may be it is not history’s duty to decide who a people belong to.

Let the minority decide.

Yes, Brillant Mr. Tan Lye Huat. We have to keep watch out of this kind of evil intention and make some improvement internally for more Harmony or psychological defend….

Chairman Mao unified China and drove foreign imperialists out of the country. President Nixon and Dr Henry Kissinger were mesmerized by Mao’s charisma when they visited China in 1972. Even Deng Xiaoping, who was twice vilified during that tumultuous period, said that Mao was seventy percent right but thirty percent wrong, when asked for his assessment of Mao. What’s more, after Mao’s death, Deng made a point of taking Mao’s only undergraduate grandson to his home for dinner periodically. And this is despite the fact that Deng’s son was thrown out of the window by the Red Guards and is now confined to a wheelchair. Today, the Chinese people still respect Mao, and on my trips to Beijing, I had seen Tibetan youths in traditional costumes queuing to enter Mao’s mausoleum. Everyone in China knew about the Cultural Revolution excesses, but the blame was put more on the Gang of Four than on Chairman Mao himself.

The Chinese have more than five thousand years of recorded history, and two thousand and five hundred years of exposure to the teachings of Confucius. Chinese society is a society of all people. China has no place for the individualism that the West preaches. It is a society that will not allow a minority of disgruntled desperadoes to upset the peace of the majority. The West has always tried to impose its individualistic views on China, having exterminated or marginalized the indigenous natives at home but failed to keep their conquered colonies in perpetuity. Human rights activists, who think highly of themselves, like to teach their grandmother to suck eggs. It is now time for them to know that many Chinese have studied overseas and exposed to Western culture. The Chinese do not need the West to tell them about censorship and propaganda.

My dear Barry, Isn’t the recent Olympic Torch Relay an eye-opener for you? Don’t you know China has the world’s largest number of internet users? Perhaps you would choose not to know the truth but to live in a world of make-believe. But your hideous intent cannot escape from the watchful eyes of the Chinese: all you want is, as you have stated clearly, the collapse of China. Unfortunately, you will be very disappointed. Please just remember one thing: Chinese think in terms of thousands of years.

My dear Barry, Stop wasting your time on frivolity. Why not do something good for the poor people at home or overseas? Why not get rid of your hatred and prejudice, and embrace love and peace?

Doesn’t work too well ;)

Frankly, more and more people in China these day see what free people of the West are like and say no thanks :P

Hired monkeys climbing posts and hang signs of a foreign language in public do not help things either.

It’s my fault, I have mistaken French for brits just like they (germany/france/usa/britain/canada/australia) mistaken indians police for Chinese police couple months ago.
