[citation][nom]doniel102[/nom]It's amazing how most of people started bashing China as soon as they finished reading this article. Personally, I would shut the hell up about a country's rights and wrongs if all of my knowledge about that country is merely from the media and the books i read. All im saying is: stop trying to decide for other people what's good for them!!![/citation]
Umm...isn't that exactly what the Chinese gov't is doing? Deciding what is best for 1.6 billion people without the people's input? Didn't Chinese scientists appeal to google not to leave? Did the gov't care? Nope...so you really don't need the "media" to make some pretty common sense conclusions. You found the common sense conclusions, but didn't apply them in both places, or in math terms, you didn't balance the equation. You can't tell us not to try and decide what's best for people if you're going to say that its okay for other people to; regardless of whether its their gov't or not. It's not really like they elect them anyway, in actual, real elections. So they can't really claim to be speaking for the people either.
[citation][nom]doniel102[/nom]But if you take a step back, are you obligated to tell everyone the minute you found out your basement was all chewed up by termites?[/citation]
No one said you have to tell everyone, but you don't have to lie about and deny it either...so you're not comparing apples to apples here.
[citation][nom]yekoor[/nom]I wonder what would happen if a chinese company tried to teach Americans a moral lesson.I'm not Chinese, but you Americans are clearly arrogant and egocentric. I guess no one is familiar with the term "culture relativity" ... and i'm not surprised considering some Americans don't even know where China is located. Wake up, Chinese culture is not worse or better it is just different, you must learn to accept it, the same way you had to learn to accept Afro-Americans having the same rights despite of their skin color. And stop looking for "evil" outside of your country.[/citation]
Murdering untold numbers of people who simply want human rights is only...different and culturally relative??? Supporting China, a country who has the worst human rights record since Hitler, is...insane. Your inane ramblings only seek to show your utter ignorance. You wanna talk about arrogance...? Let's talk, you just stereotyped and generalized an entire country as being arrogant and egocentric. That's pretty arrogant there buddy, you must feel you know more than the combined knowledge of everyone in the entire country...that's 307 million people btw.
The way we had to learn to accept Afro-American had the same rights based on skin color?? Haha...here's a revelation for you, oh Keeper of Brilliance, we're the one's who passed the laws that gave those rights in this country. And since you've already classified human rights as being culturally relative, then you can't really say that they had rights before that. You also, unless you're american, according to you, cannot comment on what we do in America, because it's our culture, and we hand out the human rights here; using your logic.
You seem to find a lot of evil in America...are you a citizen here? If not, then stop looking for evil outside of your own country.
