Four the last five years I've been fighting to prove that media hype and anti-China rhetoric is biased, China is misunderstood,, many of its policies, it's legalities and even parts of its society are misinterpreted and, as a result, we are misinformed, sometimes the misinformation is simply a misunderstanding, sometimes it's an outright lie but almost 100% of Western media on China is wrong - almost every single politician in the USA, UK, Australia and even most in New Zealand as well as many in Europe are informed by people who read this misinformation and therefore they are misinformed too.
Jerry, Sad to inform that quite a lot of HK people are brainwashed by Western media. They thought Western media is supposed to be impartial and objective. But as a journalist working in Australian media for 28 years, I eventually found it just a NARRATIVE with obvious political agenda behind. Many of us were brought up in the British colonial era, we were educated and taught to believe the true value of Western democratic idea. 2019 HK Riots simply shattered all this. But there are still quite a good number of HK people believe every word from the West. They are being led like herds, no logic, no critical thinking, no reflection of what is right or wrong, whatever the West says have to be right, whatever the Chinese do have to be evil. The most serious damage of British colonial rule in HK as I can see is getting some HK people to forget their national identity, their ethnic heritage, and to falsely believe British Monarch is their daddy and mum. When I visited the Westminster Abby last September, I was amazed how solemn and God fearing that the British Government in upholding democratic ideal "for their subjects"in many ways, but when it comes to colonial rule and geopolitics, democratic ideas is just a camouflage for its hegemonic geopolitical design.
No argument Thomas, I know they exist but they never come into my sphere - the people I meet from HK are all buying properties in Zhongshan and surrounding cities, they're very happy
You are lucky Jerry. Even today, some of my family members are die-hearted colonialists I am afraid to say. They live in the bad memory of the past. They were baptised in the age of ideology, when class struggle ruled in China. But thanks to Deng, Chinese leaders after him, and the collapse of Soviet Union & the Eastern Bloc, China has learnt from them and dramatically transformed. It renders new meaning to socialism, giving new hopes to all. Last, thanks again for your great contribution indeed.
A major problem with the Western media is that it is profit motivated, and so inclined towards sensationalism. 😟A major problem with the Chinese media is it is state funded, and so often boring!🤣
Israel is a British colonial settlement just like the US. Israel and the Western world are committing a genocide of the Palestinians. Yes, China needs to stop trading with them.
As I said in the script and video, I personally agree with you but I've just described why they will not - clearly you missed that point. We have to stop thinking personally and start looking at root causes, think more holistically and try to repair what causes the harm, not the actual harm - that's the system in which the US dominates the UN, an organisation it made the rules for, only to fail to apply them to itself. and are thinking emotionally rather than of the legal and geopolitical consequences.
Who can ever negotiate with the monster when the monster feels victimised by all - China must act responsibly and legally rather than morally or ethically - your grievance isn't with China, it's with the UN - protest against them.
Should China stop dealing with Russia because the Western world sees them as an agressor too? Should the Developing world stop dealing with China because the Western world accuses China of human rights abuses? Personally, I don't think so. I think China is the only country left that can, and will, stand up to the real monster in the world, the USA
No need to get defensive. International law states countries must act to stop genocides. That's not happening. It's just business as usual while Palestinians are being starved and slaughtered. Oh, China clamping down on trade with Israel will definitely hurt the US too.
I'm not getting defensive Jasmine, I'm simply stating facts - it's not a personal point - think of this like a lawyer needs to think about his or her client, they need the prsumption of innocence to provide a defence - if the client tells the lawyer , yes I did this, they are morally, ethically and legally obliged to encourage their client to plead guilty - if the client denies the offence, no matter what the evidence appears to show, they must put the clients' position to a jury to make a decision. This is the reason why lawyers will never ask, did you do this, they will always open discussions with word like, tell me what happened.
Legality is very different to morality and ethics and you've conflated them as being the same, they are not.
International law does indeed state that all countries should act to stop a genocide, but it also dictates that no country can interfere in the sovereignty of another - that's where the crime is being committed - sovereign interference is going ignored and has been for decades.
Don't forget, we're both on the same side here - I do agree with you personally, I'm giving you the reality geopolitically and under international law, not our emotions which say what we "feel" is right.
China intervening in this will only inflate the conflict too - I made that point in a previous article - they cannot sustain an offshore military involvement with s defensive military force, it would be a dream of the Pentagon and the current White House for China to get involved, it would also be a massive PR win for the US media - China doing something wrong helps to deflect from everything they are doing wrong
It's a GENOCIDE. The only country upholding international law right now is Yemen. China wouldn't be intervening just cutting off diplomatic ties and trade with Israel is the bare minimum. Same for Russia.
No, it's a plausible genocide - you are still missing the legal point - I can't describe this in any other way except to say that while I agree with you, I do understand China's stance - Genocide is alleged, it's apparent and it appears obvious but it's unproven - the rest of the world thought for a few years that China was committing genocide in Xinjiang, they were not - it's been debunked but what would have happened if other countries had intervened against China ?
The law is the law, our opinions are just that, opinions, until proven to be established truths under the law
No. It's an ACTUAL GENOCIDE. I've been fucking watching it. I don't have anything against China, never did, but they have a RESPONSIBILITY to try and stop the genocide. Russia is remiss too. The only country with moral courage is Yemen. They don't give a fuck if it's "legally" a genocide, they know Palestinians are being slaughtered and starved and THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING TO TRY AND STOP IT. I wish Iran could do more but its going toe to toe with the Great Satan and must tread carefully. And if Israel bombs Iran, it's going to be very dark times indeed for everyone. You would think Russia and China would be doing everything they can to try and stop Israel.
