Chinese Bullies Accompany Olympic Flame

April 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Writer Anthony Browne opines about China being “the real master of the universe” in an article published in the UK’s Daily Mail today. While addressing many topics, the one discussed in the paragraph below caused me to pause and reflect:

What would those Victorian masters of old have made of the fact that Chinese security men were on the streets of London this week, ordering our own police about and fighting running battles with British protesters while bewildered athletes carried the Olympic torch on its relay through the capital?

Food for thought.

    The west completely failed.
    The anti-chinese protest has united all chinese in the world and all the people in china.

    Who cares what the world think. This is probably the first time in history that Chinese all over the world are more united.

    By being biased in the reporting of the tibet issue the foreign media has created a sense of anti-chinese sentiment hurting all chinese in the world. They now feel that they are being aggressed.

    Note that I am an overseas chinese. Like millions of us in the west, we are still racially abused and do not enjoy same employment rights as people in our country of adoption.
