i believe you from american?maybe it the culture difference.what i never said that i am my country. i am saying that i am part of my country.yes i live in uk. but believe me there is more people then you think can go on YouTube in china. it just the problem do we want to? anyway one of the definition of the word "county" is "The people of a nation or state" so if an insult is aim at my country,it is also aimed at me. It not a matter of confidence but a matter of pride.

@972928andrew Boycott Western goods and you boycott modernity, and you know it. If you have confidence, you can take any 'insult'. You are hurt because the criticism is completely justified, and deep down you know it is true. You are not your country, you are an individual human being. Btw, pretty ironic that we can only have this conversation while you live outside the country because China blocks Youtube.Why do you care so much about a country that treats you like a little child?

@Krifko

they are calling for a boycott of "goods". since when is the Internet a "goods"? are you say that the Internet belong to the USA,because they invented it? because if you are the all the paper and gunpowder in the world belong to china.and all the tanks and radar belong to Britain.hey would you stand down if i call you mother a whore. if you don't then you have " seriously deranged or brainwashed" problem.

@Krifko It seems you have no idea why Chinese were so outraged during the torch relays.

[0r14n583lt]

Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

[Krifko]

Chinese internet nationalists, how ironic. The internet was an American invention, so, dear Chinese nationalist, please boycott this 'horrible' means of communications invented by those 'damn foreigners'. Who cares what foreign media says about your country! You have to be seriously deranged or brainwashed to get upset by that, or, most likely, these particular Chinese have a deep inferiority complex that makes them act out if 'their' country gets criticised. Pathetic.
