When the foreign ministry spokeswoman of China said that...?

Question

"their dispicable activities tarnish the lofty Olympic spirit", is it possible that she was unwittingly projecting the values of her own country?

Answer 1

None of earth's governments are without sin........

It is truly amazing that China is cohesive considering their numbers. To maintain any semblance of unity the PRC must govern with a firm hand............Can you imagine the damage that would occur if rioters in the billions ran amok?

Of course they have "human rights" issues. America has been guilty of gunboat diplomacy itself so we can't very well brag that our own historical behavior has been beyond reproach.

America needs to recognize that a firm hand (such as China demonstrates on occasion)  needs to be shown by our own government re trade issues with the pushy PRC. Let them handle their own internal matters. We just need to guard against being eaten ourselves..................
