| To Andrew, I have been following BBC and CNN all the time in recent days. That's why I thought they were biased western media in term of coverage on China. ( I only read reports on China so I won't make judgment on their reports on other nations or countries ) . Well, if you follow BBC closely enough, probably you have already read a report titled " China-online: Tibet and torch reaction " . You will also find that Wang Jianshuo, the master of this blog, was refered in that report. More interestingly, you can find a link of a ditty titled " Don't be too CNN " on that page. It's a video widely spread among blogs and netizens in recent days, and almost everyone of us can hum this loverly song. " Don't be too CNN" means "don't be too arrogant and ignore the fact " . When one of the colleagues tends to be too judgmental or keeps ignoring facts, we will remind him or her " Don't be too CNN " or " You're behaving BBC now ". This became quite popolar in recent conversations. As for the Tibetan lauguage thing. I could care less about learning it. Why ? Because I myself is an ethnic minority , if you remember that, and I have my own language to learn. I also learned mandarin from primary school, and then English, so I would be able to communicate with you guys here. Do you know that there are 56 ethnic groups here in China ? Like Tu Jia, Miao , Zhuang . .... just to name a few of them. Tibetan is just only one of them, nothing special. I don't think their people or their language are superior than mine. We are just equal. But why some westerners only took intest in Tibet ? I guess that is because some monks there caused troubles. This is something some westerners are willing to see, and they could not be more happier than seeing turbulence in China |
