I agreed corruption but police brutality is no fair. Police brutality in America and western Europe as well. Corruption is the really the problems in china. It is not just the Government but the local government is the problem. I think the center government can do more for the chinese people. china is a great country.
@ MR. Toiletface ... that's not a fact, you have no idea what a fact is !! They are not fairly compensated for their homes as documented by over 15 human rights organizations ...
this video is stupid; tenants who have their homes demolished receive compensation for their home, thats a fact. those that refuse to leave their homes are forced out, the same way american and canadian businesses buy out land and evict the tenants and force them out. happens everyday in the west; if you have land that your city wants, you have no choice but to leave; you are compensated, the same as these people. the west ain't the best, get over it.
I have an idea for a charity that could stop gov't abuses worldwide. Currently, you can buy a crate of surplus mosin nagant rifles for ~ $500. That is enough arms to mount an effective defense of an entrenched position in remote places. Ammunition for these rifles is also cheap ~$50 for 440 rnds. If we could start a charity to airlift supplies like this to oppressed people and give them a chance to denfend themselves, it would do the world alot of good. $600 to defend a small village from bad.
Those poor people... How can humankind be so evil? I don't understand.. Why? Greed? Power? Control? Insanity??... I just can't, and probably never will, understand how people can kill and make their own kind suffer in despair, hopelessness, and darkness. Wake up America; this could just as easily happen to you and your loved ones & everyone you know, if you don't. Please wake up from this government ran nightmare... For all our sakes. If America cecum's to tyranny, The world may possibly follow.
Last time I checked the Western media is the only thing China has going for them right now. There's been nothing lately but ass kissing.
What you see in this vid is real and perhaps the tip of the ice berg. The US has an embargo against Cuba yet China is our biggest partner in trade for some reason (to which they owe their economic miracle) even though China's basically a giant Cuba
Unlike you westerners who entered countries,occupied them by force and expelled indegenious people and then planned a new city on it,traditional countries have to deal with a lot of problems for modernisation..Some people evict for compensation,some dont.In India when we are given less compensation,we protest and government increases the sum of compensation but here i dont know much abt it,but the reporter dosent mention it either
why do western media get too much entangled in other countries internal affiars?There are many places in the world where people if even question rulers authority,they are killed.Here is just a case of forced eviction but they also get compensation for.Shanghai wasnt built by peacefull evictions either but now you all look at it and wonder how beautiful city it is.Iam an Indian so unbiased but just clear opinion
"the media wont cover"?! the mainstream media in general always talk shit about china! I dont recall ever hearing one positive aspect of living in china! and I believe there are plenty of them (in the big cities, at least).
@nunobelo There wouldnt be shit to talk about China if China didnt do shit in the first place! Are you fucking kidding me??? The Chinese Government does untold thousands of human and civil rights violations. There's untold corruption. Untold torture. Untold evils commited by the chinese government. They should be exposed for the dirt bags they are! Why do you think they censor everything? It's to hide how shitty they are!
If the so called Democracy continued in China after the Sino-Japanese war, all of China would still be in that horrible state. Fact is, democracy cannot work in an under-developed country, and that is what westerners cannot comprehend. BUT, now that China has developed and is rapidly developing, they should turn to democracy as it will help them thrive more. The US is making the same mistake in the Middle East, imposing democracy on under-developed nations.
Exactly why those in power ('elites', if you will), have taken away the right to bear arms here in the UK, and aim to do the same thing in the states. Take away the ability of a population to defend their constitution and bill of rights, and what you're left with is a country of slaves ripe for exploitation.
communism was designed to help the poor people. You're right, this is capitalism in disguise. Karl Marx (the man who wrote the communist manifesto) would never have allowed this to happen. how do chinese government officials sleep at night knowing this is hapening? THOSE PEOPLE ARE GIVING GOOD COMMUNISTS/SOCIALISTS LIKE ME A BAD NAME!
People on here should not be defending China. If the government allows such atrocities, they are complicit. The people shown are expendable for the sake of 'progress', sick... Many of those people, given homes could actually get jobs and contribute.
You shoud be condemning the government, nomatter how 'small' you think this injustice is coz China could do this differently, they have the power, no excuses.
Sad I couldn't imagine going thru something like this though I was homeless for a year and it was very hard but I'm young but these old, sick and frail people haven't got a chance unless their children or family step up to the plate. old folks should be left to spend their last days on earth in peace common
Yes the rhetoric has a political agenda, but the pictures speak for themselves. These things happen, and not just in China. This isn't an issue of nationalism, you make the err to take this personally. Nationalism is a great tool of propaganda when the populace can't take criticism of their government as it becomes a matter of ego. Don't be fooled, this isn't about nationalism, this is about the most basic human rights. Just about all governments in the world are guilty in some way.
I'm sorry, but what disqualifies this video as propaganda against China? I've have been living and working in China and this video paints an extremely bad and unfair picture. People in China do complain to the government without incident (I know I do) Actually your title is incorrect because this is the only thing mainstream media covers...the negatives of China as if nothing positive ever comes out and every Chinese are miserable. Nothing is more further from the truth.
Of course there is a statist agenda to this, I am not expecting everywhere I go in China to look like this, but again, these images speak for themselves. Are you going to say that these images are fake and the people in it are actors?
Do you not think that there is at all a lower caste in China that is essentially treated as rubbish?
While good things come out of China (dollar stores couldn't exist without it) ... these criticisms shouldn't just be ignored, agreed?
Images do speak for themselves but these images only represented a very minority of what's happening in China. If I use the Rodney King video and title it "America's darkside: What America don't want you to see" Would that be fair? There are lower caste in every country that is treated unfairly, China has theirs, the US has the New Orleans and their ghettos, Canada has their Inuits and Quebecois, and I'm sure the British have theirs. So then what gives you the right to criticize?
What I am saying is that these images are edited in a way that gives China worst possible light. Positive press would be dismissed as propaganda. Why must every news that comes out of China be negative? Is it simply because China's government is labeled as Communist? Well, news flash...for the last decade this communist country has brought more happiness to its people than the Western "democratically" elected government did theirs. Maybe one should look in the mirror and see why that is.
... u know things like this and corruption always happens in third world countries... but the thing is the western world always picks at the poorer countries saying that they will help, while making themselves feel better.. it's sad becuase they never help. they aren't really trying. or else.. why do they still go to 3rd world countries and poorer places and expoilt workers for their cheap labour??
Nah they arent a 3rd world country, if anything they are 2nd world/1st world because of the technological advancements they have made... but they sure do act like a 3rd world... stupid government.
The answer to your question is that you cannot simply look at "foreigners" as all being one single body of people. Some of us are trying to uncover and protect people from abuse. Others are exploiting the labor. So don't just think "China vs. foreigners" think "I am a human being who deserves dignity, and so does other people, and we should all stand together against injustice." That is what Mao would have wanted just as much as George Washington.
What you can see here is the future of the united states of america.
and the past of china, hopefully. i think its becoming better in china now. china is a very, very big country. china never foght wars against other countries since 1945 unlike america. america has only 5 % of world population and it should be represented in world power proportional.
blaming china doesnt make america more democratic.
I cant watch this video because of technical troubles I have with youtube. Everytime when I come to half, it just puts me back to beginning. Since google bought youtube, it SUCKS. Google = FAIL.
Would China be doing the same to the USA if they were going to become a powerful nation
Sorry man but if you d rather the Chinese be in control of the world then youre a bloody fool, Id rather the USA govern the world then the Chinese or Russians
At least we dont openly treat are own people in this way thats for sure
Well it's not really that simple. Some people support exploitation of people because it makes a profit. Other people oppose exploitation because it causes injury. These people are frequent enemies of each other, even within the same country. Stop thinking of this in nationalist (country vs. country) terms and then u will understand the truth.
And more poor the place is,darker the local government is.With the developement of China,not just economy but also in law,I think this kind of things will be reduced.
The city I live have already get rid of it(at least it does'nt happen around my life).
By the way,some officials of the local government were sent to jail for doing this kind of things.I'm happy to see central government is working on it.
Chinese people chinese culture is only good at exterminate each other, one another.
chinese people r coward in nature.
See what has China government done to chinese indonesians when indonesian muslims raped, killed, murdered, deported them out of indonesia?
China's government should hv sent their military to invade indon & invade malaysia & take over those countries to teach the world a lesson how strong China really is. Just needs 1 day to fully take over Malaysia & 1 week for indon.
Ok. Things are horrible in China, agreed. Its a communist state, what did you expect in reguards to being a police state seeking to control every aspect of peoples lives, what they say, what they see, how they think. Thats communism. This is how such regimes behave, enslaving their own people, and hitting hard on "dissidents" - people who speak their minds on what they are going through.
Regimes like these does not accept free thinking and political freedom. Never will.
As for poverty concerned i agree with Lillimill here. If brits cared to walk around the back alleys of their own cities they would find horrid situations of poverty, suffering and hunger. You find this everywhere. And as I have actually lived in the Unites States i can say that its not all dandy there either. You will find many similar situations everywhere across the globe. The difference is ofc. that we can talk about it, film it, explain it and even show political dissent.
Sorry but you could find this kind of problems all around the globe and if some country is as populated as China, it goes without saying that problems would multiply.
Yet, this seems like a typical propaganda reporting since we have no subtitles, no translation, just loose suspicious interpretation.
Whatever the case, British media are the last I'd consider unprejudiced and unbiased when it comes to China.
I'm just sick and tired of this Cold War style "commie this, commie that" bs.
Shows many of us how lucky we are. We can complain about how our governments suck and our politicians are crooked but they aren't abusing us like we see in this film.
We really need more journalism like this making its way to our living rooms.
If you have absolutely no decency to atleast sympathize with the underdogs of in your own han community, let me not waste my energy in this regard. Just get the fuck out of tibet or treat us more humanly, befitthing of a great civilization you claim to be!
Today's Comfort Women: Starving women escape from North Korea to find food. Chinese criminals know the Chinese government will send them home to be executed, if reported. So they force them to be prostitutes.
You are not going to get truth from the American media about this because those that run our media want to adopt China's form of police state government here.
My fascist NWO PNAC sister came back from China, after being 'officially' toured there, and said how great the country is and how we should adopt their policies. A radio host from Chicago went there and toured the entire country and basically said it was tragic how the majority of the people live.
Fuck what a joke - the CCP are nothing but cheap bandits , at least give the people some $ for their homes or build some decent accomodation for them .That battle at the end sums up what CCP CHina is - a bunch of thugs bullying poor people. Assholes.
This is the chinese way of life for thousand of years.
This is the western media propaganda to poison the world bout china. Why they were chase out of their homes? because the land dont belong to them ! they built it illegally !
Chinese Communist Govt is the best ! If not China will not be able to stand up united ..! How can you control 1.4billion ppl??? without total & absolute power?? You guys Dont know much about China... try read more about chinese history!! before posting a comment!!
I find that most Chinese I have talked to about this video that feel it's distorted from a western perspective, are saying this from a pro-China nationalist perspective.
The idea that China has one of the world's worst human rights track records ever in combination with the idea that you think China's government is the "best" and should have "absolute power" speaks volumes.
Yes i'm a chinese working abroad in south east asia.
China is my motherland and my family still live there.
China been through alot of suffering before she can raise her head up again..We been raped by the western country all the while! This is a humilliation! HongKong,Taiwan,Macau,part of Mongolia,krgystan and Uzbekistan and more ! As a chinese i think the Communist Govt is doing a Exceptional well.
You need to look deeper as to whats going on. Its not just the Chinese govt. its the international bankers and corporations as well as they are the ones holding true power (money). Money that can make the government do their bidding.
So be vigilant, be cautious. Sometimes we feel that that gov't is powerful (well that applies to totalitarian gov'ts) but no, the most powerful entity in this world is the MEDIA and as the saying goes: ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY!
...In fact, they are so powerful that the government..yes....you read it right, THE GOVERNMENT would do anything to appease this family, otherwise, they are screwed. That's how POWERFUL they are. They can twist the truth for their own interests because anyway...who knows the truth, right? we are just viewers and on lookers and have no capacity to ferret the truth out....(continue)
Here in my country, The Philippines (I'm a Filipino Chinese) we have a television station whose owner is powerful family that also owns other business interests (whether in whole or in part) like ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION, WATER DISTRIBUTION, TOLL WAYS, NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTION, REAL ESTATE, ect.. Would you expect from this media entity to tell you the TRUTH if the news have something to do with those businesses involved, especially when it is bad? OF COURSE NOT!...(continue)
Another thing, we simply cannot trust media nowadays. Look at America, look at their media, it has degraded into tabloid journalism. Its as bad as having a media being controlled by the state because the net effect is the same; and that it does not allow the ordinary people to THINK for themselves.... (continue)
(last part) I just hope that we the Chinese poeple would change that old mentality but it will take time... But I guess that this thing also applies to everybody, regardless of race, culture, creed and religion. We all have a BIGOT in us, we just have to try our best not to encourage it. May God Bless us all.
....(part 2) When Hitler ruled Germany, he inculcated to the minds of of the Germans that a single man is nothing, STATE IS EVERYTHING! Being a Chinese, its almost the same. For us, a single man is nothing, BEING CHINESE IS EVRYTHING. Get the point? a Chinese would not mind having millions of fellow Chinese to die unjustly if in exchange is the glory of China and Chinese as a people. sad..just sad...
I'm a Chinese and I feel bad when these things came up and worse, my own compatriots don't even care. Its true that most of us prefer to just look at the good news and not pay attention to the reality simply because it hurts our ego as Chinese. Sad...very sad....(continue)
Alias1983 you are a bad person. China is a good country. I love my country. I want Canadians and Americans to always buy products from China. Make my country stronger.
Crimes against Humanity by governments and police reach into every city across the globe. This is what Babylon is destined for as this is not the same Garden of Eden our creator founded. These times have been prophesied in several books in the bible. Nation against Nation, difficult times hard to live with, food shortages... and wicked governments with the name: BABYLON THE GREAT. This footage sends me into deep thought of my own existence and the realization that I am but dust and ashes.
I say we seek out the victims of these crimes in China and we show them where they can get weapons off the black market in China so they can go to Tiananmen Square on August 8th 2008 and kill as many Chinese militants possible and make China pay for the hell they put their own people through. China killed more Chinese than Japan did.
Countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan are all dictatorships or kingships in which there is a very twisted democratic concept, if any. Political activists are routinely jailed or killed. Yet, we never hear about any of this, because our government is currently friends with them! China however, we have no problem showing their human rights violations. Utter bullshit hypcorisy.
What else would you expect from Sky News, Murdock's outpost in the UK. A bunch of anti-Chinese, pro Western propaganda, in a fruitless attempt to slow down the Chinese capitalist machine.
Anyone who takes Sky News' tripe seriously doesn't deserve to wear the badge of fair journalism.
Well we should boycott what ever we can. (Can't boycott everything of course). But there are some Chinese products made that we can boycott. I don't want this country having economic strongholds in my country. But let me remind you that this doesn't mean that we shouldn't pay attention to the good that China does.
Not that this is anything new for Communist China, but it's not often reported. You can't just dismiss the content because you don't like the station. Remember, China is still a communist dictatorship
I fully agree with you. I am not going to pretend that China has a great record on human rights. It definitely exists as a dictatorship. What I hate about western media is their hypocrisy in not showing human rights violations by America's mid-east allies (Saudi, Egypt, Pakistan), because they are in this so-called war on terror.
Is China not notorious for human right's violations? I think many people realize that there are human right's violations in Saudi, Egypt, Pakistan etc... Why must the issue be spinned and twisted around here? Were there not terrorist attacks in america before 9/11 as well? The world trade center bombing in 1993.
No, you are the real idiot!I agree with what vinhtang is saying.For some reason this guy ALWAYS say bad things about China. Being a proud Chinese, it hurts everytime. The issue here is not about freedom of speech, it concerns what is being reported. His biased reporting gives the impression that nothing good happens in China, which everybody knows is untrue. Finally, you don't sound like a proud Chinese. Could it be you are actually Tibetan or a Falun Gong practitioner?
Your right. Being a proud Chinese, you'd better not look at any of the bad things China did. Just pretend the bad stuff never happened and you'll be happy. Don't even pay attention to how Tibetans or Falun Gong's feel. Just pretend they don't exist. You can mention Nanjing Massacre to a Chinese, but no Chinese wants to hear about Tiananmen Square. After all if your a proud Chinese, you just need to pretend that none of the bad stuff happened and it will all go away.
Why don't you get my point? Have you seen all of this guy's reports from China? Well I have, and I can tell you that all of them have been negative about China. This one-sided reporting is what I am against and not what he reports about. The opposite of your comment should be directed at him. Being a China hater, he can just focus on the bad and ignore the good things that happens e.g. how China can feed most of its 1.3+ billion people, 50+ ethnic groups can co-exists quite peacefully, etc.
From my understanding, Chinese have had trouble getting along with each other. And yes China has done good things. Just watch CCTV9. You have to watch both media's to get the entire story. But most Chinese won't look at the bad things at all. Most think that somehow all the bad things like aiming missiles at Taiwan is justified.
Thats precisely my point, balanced view of both sides.But if Westerns only watch BBC and Sky News pumping out negative stories about China and have no access or choose not to watch CCTV9, then don't you think that is unfair to China? Yes, aiming missiles at Taiwan may not be justified but at least the situation is stable, unlike many regions in the world where war has already broken out. I am also 100% sure, and I think you too, China will NEVER attack Taiwan.
I really HATE this Sky News reporter. He is like a one man campaign against China. Every time he does a report about China its always negative:land grab,pollution,eating animals to extinction and baby trafficking is his latest addition. China is a big country with alot of people from many different cultural backgrounds for him to report on, but instead he focuses on all the negative issues which every country in the world have and makes them exclusive to China.
I hear where your comming from about him only talking about China. But I give him credit that he at least pays attention to something. Keep in mind that the Peoples Republic of "Corruption" has strong economic strongholds in our countries.
Ok I heard about there censure and making a goldenshield for the internet, restricting everyone wihtin china, but I never knew this, OMG this is a accident waiting to happen !
No its not corrupt, people like me and many other will never reject to give food or money because we care for humanity, plus they have shelters and get food stamps from what I heard. Same cycle chines are going thru as Lenin's and Stalin's times.
Simply Communism. In Russia they where against mostly Christian Religion or anyone going against the government and In China they are against Falun Gong Religion and anyone going against government, go on so some research. MAFIA...
Falun Gong Religion is banned in China, but do you know why? The religion was allowed before, but the people who practice the religion does it in front of government buildings and Tianmen Square in Beijing. How would you think if there are people sitting in front of the White House everyday practicing religion and giving out flyers that disrupts the lives of other people. No one would care if they do it at their house or wherever else. Next time, do some DETAILED research kthx bye.
The PRC is extremely corrupt politically. That name in itself is doublespeak, because it is not for the people, its for the government. The only hope many low income Chinese have is that the rest of the world takes notice to the injustice and makes a stink about it. There is a reason the foreign press is shunned/belittled there as I'm sure you know.
I agreed corruption but police brutality is no fair. Police brutality in America and western Europe as well. Corruption is the really the problems in china. It is not just the Government but the local government is the problem. I think the center government can do more for the chinese people. china is a great country.

Of course there is a statist agenda to this, I am not expecting everywhere I go in China to look like this, but again, these images speak for themselves. Are you going to say that these images are fake and the people in it are actors?
Do you not think that there is at all a lower caste in China that is essentially treated as rubbish?
While good things come out of China (dollar stores couldn't exist without it) ... these criticisms shouldn't just be ignored, agreed?
answerswithquestions 2 years ago 3
Images do speak for themselves but these images only represented a very minority of what's happening in China. If I use the Rodney King video and title it "America's darkside: What America don't want you to see" Would that be fair? There are lower caste in every country that is treated unfairly, China has theirs, the US has the New Orleans and their ghettos, Canada has their Inuits and Quebecois, and I'm sure the British have theirs. So then what gives you the right to criticize?
98wongjf 2 years ago
What I am saying is that these images are edited in a way that gives China worst possible light. Positive press would be dismissed as propaganda. Why must every news that comes out of China be negative? Is it simply because China's government is labeled as Communist? Well, news flash...for the last decade this communist country has brought more happiness to its people than the Western "democratically" elected government did theirs. Maybe one should look in the mirror and see why that is.

... u know things like this and corruption always happens in third world countries... but the thing is the western world always picks at the poorer countries saying that they will help, while making themselves feel better.. it's sad becuase they never help. they aren't really trying. or else.. why do they still go to 3rd world countries and poorer places and expoilt workers for their cheap labour??

Nah they arent a 3rd world country, if anything they are 2nd world/1st world because of the technological advancements they have made... but they sure do act like a 3rd world... stupid government.

The answer to your question is that you cannot simply look at "foreigners" as all being one single body of people. Some of us are trying to uncover and protect people from abuse. Others are exploiting the labor. So don't just think "China vs. foreigners" think "I am a human being who deserves dignity, and so does other people, and we should all stand together against injustice." That is what Mao would have wanted just as much as George Washington.

What you can see here is the future of the united states of america.
and the past of china, hopefully. i think its becoming better in china now. china is a very, very big country. china never foght wars against other countries since 1945 unlike america. america has only 5 % of world population and it should be represented in world power proportional.
blaming china doesnt make america more democratic.

Well it's not really that simple. Some people support exploitation of people because it makes a profit. Other people oppose exploitation because it causes injury. These people are frequent enemies of each other, even within the same country. Stop thinking of this in nationalist (country vs. country) terms and then u will understand the truth.

Ok. Things are horrible in China, agreed. Its a communist state, what did you expect in reguards to being a police state seeking to control every aspect of peoples lives, what they say, what they see, how they think. Thats communism. This is how such regimes behave, enslaving their own people, and hitting hard on "dissidents" - people who speak their minds on what they are going through.
Regimes like these does not accept free thinking and political freedom. Never will.

As for poverty concerned i agree with Lillimill here. If brits cared to walk around the back alleys of their own cities they would find horrid situations of poverty, suffering and hunger. You find this everywhere. And as I have actually lived in the Unites States i can say that its not all dandy there either. You will find many similar situations everywhere across the globe. The difference is ofc. that we can talk about it, film it, explain it and even show political dissent.
krunelune 3 years ago
Sorry but you could find this kind of problems all around the globe and if some country is as populated as China, it goes without saying that problems would multiply.
Yet, this seems like a typical propaganda reporting since we have no subtitles, no translation, just loose suspicious interpretation.
Whatever the case, British media are the last I'd consider unprejudiced and unbiased when it comes to China.
I'm just sick and tired of this Cold War style "commie this, commie that" bs.

I find that most Chinese I have talked to about this video that feel it's distorted from a western perspective, are saying this from a pro-China nationalist perspective.
The idea that China has one of the world's worst human rights track records ever in combination with the idea that you think China's government is the "best" and should have "absolute power" speaks volumes.

Crimes against Humanity by governments and police reach into every city across the globe. This is what Babylon is destined for as this is not the same Garden of Eden our creator founded.

This footage sends me into deep thought of my own existence and the realization that I am but dust and ashes.

I say we seek out the victims of these crimes in China and we show them where they can get weapons off the black market in China so they can go to Tiananmen Square on August 8th 2008 and kill as many Chinese militants possible and make China pay for the hell they put their own people through. China killed more Chinese than Japan did.

Countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan are all dictatorships or kingships in which there is a very twisted democratic concept, if any. Political activists are routinely jailed or killed.

Finally, you don't sound like a proud Chinese. Could it be you are actually Tibetan or a Falun Gong practitioner?
Triwood73 5 years ago
Your right. Being a proud Chinese, you'd better not look at any of the bad things China did. Just pretend the bad stuff never happened and you'll be happy. Don't even pay attention to how Tibetans or Falun Gong's feel. Just pretend they don't exist. You can mention Nanjing Massacre to a Chinese, but no Chinese wants to hear about Tiananmen Square. After all if your a proud Chinese, you just need to pretend that none of the bad stuff happened and it will all go away.
Alias1983 5 years ago 2
Why don't you get my point? Have you seen all of this guy's reports from China? Well I have, and I can tell you that all of them have been negative about China. This one-sided reporting is what I am against and not what he reports about. The opposite of your comment should be directed at him. Being a China hater, he can just focus on the bad and ignore the good things that happens e.g. how China can feed most of its 1.3+ billion people, 50+ ethnic groups can co-exists quite peacefully, etc.
Triwood73 5 years ago
From my understanding, Chinese have had trouble getting along with each other. And yes China has done good things. Just watch CCTV9. You have to watch both media's to get the entire story. But most Chinese won't look at the bad things at all. Most think that somehow all the bad things like aiming missiles at Taiwan is justified.
Alias1983 5 years ago 2
Thats precisely my point, balanced view of both sides.But if Westerns only watch BBC and Sky News pumping out negative stories about China and have no access or choose not to watch CCTV9, then don't you think that is unfair to China? Yes, aiming missiles at Taiwan may not be justified but at least the situation is stable, unlike many regions in the world where war has already broken out. I am also 100% sure, and I think you too, China will NEVER attack Taiwan.
Triwood73 5 years ago
I really HATE this Sky News reporter. He is like a one man campaign against China. Every time he does a report about China its always negative:land grab,pollution,eating animals to extinction and baby trafficking is his latest addition. China is a big country with alot of people from many different cultural backgrounds for him to report on, but instead he focuses on all the negative issues which every country in the world have and makes them exclusive to China.
