[...] that one of the favorite whipping boys for the Chinese press, be it the Dalai Lama or the economy, is the Western media, specifically the US media. Well, for a little perspective on that, let’s look at some China [...]

Jixiang, I agree that Western colonialism, its subsequent legacy of socialist ideology, and Western aid largely to support failed socialism and corruption, have not done that much good in Africa. But many African countries are badly run today (the proof of this is in their poverty), and the point of freedom of speech is to be able to criticise bad governments. So: bad government has a strong interest in oppressing free speech; the people have an equally strong interest in struggling for it. Free speech is not a luxury (as also China’s history shows).

I am torn. On the one hand, freedom of speech is a universal value, and China does not have it. On the other hand, the West has never produced any good results with its meddling in Africa, and the Chinese might actually achieve something when it comes to industrializing the continent. This matters more to most Africans than freedom of speech. Westerners who automatically oppose Chinese influence in Africa just because they don’t go promoting democracy are simply serving their own interests, and not the interests of the Africans.

Lol, talk about convoluted, I have no idea what you are trying to say… but maybe that’s because all of your punctuation ran away, or maybe you aren’t a native English speaker, if so, I apologize. your English is coming along very well, sonny.

For the Buffalo Nickle, that guy was saying that there are facts and rational thought can tell you something about said facts. Which basically means that maybe somebody needs to trip over their own fucked up convoluted thought process and fall on their bayonet or something and remove themselves from the gene pool before they pollute it anymore than it already is.

Not sure why these Chinese media mavens are complaining about “foreign influence.”

They all sound like US Republicans to me.
