Lack of humbleness



The gentleman in this video clip comes from mainland China. His comment on Hong Kong in the video makes Hong Kong angry. Most of comments in this video shows the anger of Hong Kong people.

I try to tranlsate the words of mainland gentleman to English. He said that Hong Kong was game over without the preferential policy of Beijing.

In the beginning of China economic reform, many Hong Kong people invested in China, and introduced the knowledge and business network to China. This is an important key of China success. Without Hong Kong under British colonial rule, no one think China could reform its economy as fast as today. The arrogance of Chinese people hurts Hong Kong people loyalty towards China.

Chinese is lack of humbleness. This may causes many troubles in foreseeable future. Tibetan, HongKonger and Taiwanese all are the victim of Chinese arrogance.

The origin of Chinglish

Every foreign visitor in China may see some roadsigns with nonsense English translation. Someone calles this kind of English as Chinglish. It mixs the English vocabulary with Chinese grammar.

So many Chinese and Hong Konger finish college education in US, UK, etc. Why does no one stop Chinglish spread over the country?

1. Most Chinese students in overseas study IT, engineering or science, you may find some of them in faculty of business administration. Only very small portion of them choose social science or arts related subjects. Very rare parents may want their children to study Social Science or Art because of the unclear career path of the graduate. Simple English is enough for the life of engineering students or science students in university. Do you think they know how to write "standard English" for everyday life?

2. On the other hand, this is also the problem of working attitude. Most of Chinglish translation is product of computer program. Chinese in mainland China just enter the Chinese expression into computer program and use the result without modification. They do not take serious for their work. Please look Hong Kong, roadsign with Chinglish translation may be under fire of some magazines like Jimmy Lai's Next magazine.

Chinglish is a product of Chinese culture. As foreigner, you can laugh at this. As Chinese, you have to think the cultural problem behind the Chinglish and try to find a solution.

Chinese police saves Jack Cafferty

Many people in the world begins the final countdown to Olympic Games. Beijing Olympic Games organizing committee sold the last batch of tickets in Beijings. Meanwhile the police tried to control the crowds, the police interfered with Hong Kong journalist work, took away some reporters, and attacked some of them.



The video clip by TVB clearly shows the quality of Chinese police cannot satisfy the requirement of Olympic Games hosting country. If China is ready for Olympic Games, why did I fail to find the different between the "public security bureau officer" and thugs?

Jack Cafferty of CNN described Chinese as thugs. Chinese police provides very strong evidence to support Jack Cafferty's statement. Jack Caffarty should thank Chinese police.

CSSA and Chinese Embassy

In Grace Wang dispute in Duke University, DCSSA did not only attack Grace Wang. Scott Savitt, a scholar and ex-journalist also was the target of DCSSA. Why does DCSSA become the Red Guard of Duke University?

CSSA in many major universities is under controlled by the student from mainland China. Ordinary Chinese Citizen (not include Hong Kong and Macau) do not have enough money to pay high cost for overseas education. Most Chinese students in major universities are the son of communist official. Due to this special relationship, they have to support communist party even in western countries.

On the other hand, the Chinese embassy tries to control Chinese organizations in other countries. For example, so many Chinese commerce associations in Indonesia were under the control of Chinese embassy before anti-Chinese movement in 1965. Most of Indonesian Chinese may tell you that the Chinese embassy in Jakarta is the source of troublesome because Chinese government shamelessly intervene overseas Chinese community for political reason.

I highly recommend US government and UK government to review the student visa of the member of the organizing committee of CSSA. No country wants the Red Guard to threat other people basic human rights. On other hand, most of overseas Chinese do not want to be controlled by communist party in western world.

Who do mix up politics and Olympic Games?



This photo was taken by Martin Oei on 21 April 2008, 1500HKT. (C) Martin Oei, 2008, All Rights Reserved.

This banner is owned by Cheng Kin Shing, a member of DAB, Beijing sponsored political party in Hong Kong and member of Eastern district council. This banner urges Hong Kong people to support Beijing 2008. It is a typical example of politics hijack Olympics.

CCP supporters in Hong Kong and western countries accuses Tibetan and human rights activist mix up Olympic with politics. If they think Olympic Games should not be political battlefield, please demand DAB withdraw all similar banners in Hong Kong first.

Chinese Patriot Games

The Chinese propaganda machine People's Daily urged Chinese people stop the anti-France movement and calm down in editorial on Sunday.

Who did advocate the anti-France movement? The Chinese propaganda machine. Now, the same machine advocates the totally different points of view to stop the potential nationalism movement.

This is Chinese style patriot games. The Chinese is not the first time to play the games. When US bombers wrongly bombed the Chinese Embassy in Serbia in 2001, the Chinese government used the similar way to press US. Chinese rulers want to press France and other western countries to cooperate with China during Olympic Games again by the old method.

Although Communist can easily get the people support by patriot games, this is a high risk political weapon. More and more people in China do not satisfy the government performance in anti-corruption, property rights protection and price control. The price of food is increasing without control. The government official can take over the land of farmer without any compensation by administrative directive. The property rights law of PRC fail to protect the property rights of ordinary Chinese citizen due to faulty legal system. When the patriot games is out of control, the people may target their own government rather than the French.

Mr. Hu understands the risk of the games. The Government tries to stop the games, but the people really want to stop it? The nuclear reactor in Daya Bay nuclear power plant may be easier to control than the patriotism of Chinese people. (Oh! the reactor in Daya Bay plant is made in France, so Chinese people may demand the government to stop it, hahaha)

Nazism in China

Please click here for Chinese version.

If you can understand written Chinese, please click the following links.
中華需要納粹(China needs Nazism)
中國納粹黨圈子(Chinese Nazi Party Group in Sina China)
小說:浴火重生之納粹華夏(Novel: China reborn from Nazism)

I found above links by Baidu, by entering "納粹中國" (China Nazi). Although "anger youth" (憤青) have not organized "Chinese Nazi Party", the links still show the potential for nazism in China.

In modern Chinese history, two important political movements involves extremism, the first one is "Boxer" in 1900, another one is "cultural revolution" in 1967. So many red guards in China do not think they do the wrong thing during cultural revolution, and tell the past to their children like heroic story. On the other hand, Chinese government declines to claim boxer did the wrong thing before 1900. Therefore, some young internet users in China accept the Nazism without shame. If no one stop China before Olympic games, the extreme nationalism may finally becomes Chinese version of Nazism and made the world is not safe to everyone. The people's republic of China still control some nuclear weapons.

Western world should tell China, please stop irrational and crazy nationalism before Olympic Games. If Chinese government declines to stop the extremist, the Beijing Olympic would been ruined. Please say no to Chinese extreme nationalism for the peace of the world.
