Dear Du,

Dear Du,

I am perplexed by your comment about me "masking" my name when this is obviously my name. Can you please justify your statement about me masking anything?

Similarly like how I have no understanding of your background or any others like Ally who clearly stands on the side of the Chinese government, I am under no obligation to give anyone information regarding my background (not that anyone has ever asked either).

Think about this: Would you go on the street to demand personal information of people who speaks to you? No, you don't. WJS's blog serve as a forum for discussion and a medium for the exchange of ideas and opinions, not personal identification of its user.

I do not know if your emotions are being conjured up by mis-informed statements from Ally who do not know me any better. She made a big assumption that I am British which I am not. There seems to be a lot of speculation and fear amongst that common Chinese that the west as a whole is trying to ruin China - which they cannot sustain with indisputable evidence. It all just boils down to xenophobia.

Du, I want you to understand that not being "pro-China" does not equate to being "anti-China".

Indeed, China has grown so much economically and militarily in a short span of time that it has difficulty catching up socially - to appreciate different opinions to those reported by the CCTV.
