am an intellect educated mostly in the West. I have been closely following views of Western media on the current
Tibetan riots. I must point out that, an overwhelming majority of their reportings are biased. CNN, BBC, The Independent, TIME, and Herald etc are often politically motivated and and their comments are stereotypical in line with their habit
of "China-bashing". Some of their writings are frankly distorted and would mislead the general public in their countries
and subsequently sway world opinion. Beijing leadership must learn from such discriminating treatment and should
adopt a flexible approach such as allowing foreign journalists to witness the crime scenes or letting the victims of the
riots to speak out the truths to them. Unfortunately, a smart public relation skill is conspicuously absent in the
Chinese Froeign Ministry.
Western powers seem unwilling to accept the fact that China is steadily rising to become an equal global member like
them. They are drumming up their topic of "China Threat" and are trying every means to demonize and belittle China out of their obsessed pride and prejudice. Their claim of advocating democracy and human-rights is hypocritical,
because deep inside their hearts, their real gaol is the expansion of their selfish national interests. Chinese
compatriots, whether on the mainland or overseas, should be united to defend our national dignity and to fend off
foreign intervention. Unproductive in-fightings only serve to provide extra ammunition to external foes. |
