Is anyone else fed up listening to the west moaning about china's problems?

Question

Im from the UK and I found it quite annoying this morning when I read the newspaper where there was a big write up about a mother who was "proud of her daughter protesting against china's involvement in tibet" with a picture on the left of some british man dangling from a lampost in beijing holding a banner.

I find these kind of people pathetic, once the olympics are over they will be off to heathrow to moan about global warming.

I mean us in the west can't be to critical, we're stuck in Iraq for crying out loud, supposed to be "bringing freedom to the iraqi people"

To sum up, everytime I turn on the news its nothing but negative news articals about china, every country has their imperfections.

IT STINKS OF HYPOCRISY

Answer 1

yeah it's stupid i bet when the games come to london it'll be about overcrowding and Iraq. Remember in Greece the media kept reporting about how the greeks were lazy because they nearly couldn't finish the stadium in time...

those hippies that dangled off the banner wanting a free tibet don't even though the truth behind the matter in my opnion they should butt out they always have to complain about something whether its the enviroment or ****.

When their country hosts the olympics and have all this "drama" (small or big)  the chinese should boycott like what they are doing to them now.

Answer 2

China, Iraq are dominating the news here where I live.

Answer 3

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling annoyed about all this. The worst thing is that what these people get all riled up and self-righteous are falsehoods that the media wants to perpetuate because it sells. You'd think that if you're so passionate about a cause, that you'd do even a little research on it first. Apparently, it's much easier to criticize than it is to read. Much of the West is under the illusion that Tibet somehow needs to be freed and that the Chinese government is so evil it orders soldiers to run people over with tanks. Well, for anyone who's interested in learning something today, here's a few sources:

Answer 4

Hey man, I'm from Canada, and ALL they do over here, is ***** about other countries. All the time. If its not China, we're bitching about the US. If not the US, its the middle east. If not the middle east, its Africa. But NEVER do we ***** about how effed up our own country is. I think its just the way politics and the world works. Why work on your problems when you can distract the general public by bitching about everyone else right?  

Answer 5

No I am tired of China using all of our gasoline and driving up the price. I wish they would just go back to riding bicycles like they should.

World News here in the U.S. = China, Middle East, little bit of Zimbabwe and Angelina Jolie's twins.
