This tiresome rhetorical trick that you can’t discuss something because something else is more important works every time, unless the subject is Global Nuclear War or the fast approaching end of the Universe. Grrrr…

It is the 25th “anniversary” this year. It is only natural that it become a subject of Western journalism, and if the journalists can’t interview common people, they’ll create stories about why they can’t interview common people. It is how Western journalism works, like it or not.

However, if they would like to report on Japan’s historical crimes against China, even from over 80 or even 100 years ago, that would be just fine. Can’t forget those!

Look, the Chinese people don’t care about this event from history! That’s why the government is harassing and arresting so many people right now, don’t you see? Its because no one really cares.

The culture is above the law, is it now!

That’s not the only thing that is above the law. The party, the rich, the police, the secret police, the torturers, the cheng guan…I could go on, but what’s the point?

This is the second cultural revolution, and there is no law.

I noticed the distinct lack of interest in the Republic of Korea’s 25th anniversary of the Gwangju Massacre during 2005, too.

Of course, suggesting there’s an agenda at work is pure paranoia. It’s just plain old-fashioned laziness.

This is pathetic. Non-Chinese journos should have more than enough things to report rather than drudging up China’s past. Why don’t they go to the US to report on the anniversary of Ruby Ridge or Kent State?

When state-sanctioned killing is done wrong it becomes a permanent thorn in the backside of the state (6.4).

When state-sanctioned killing is done right it becomes a permanent rallying call in support of the state (9/11).
