Fight Between Foreigners and Local There are multiple versions of most events in history. The version record these events from the diiierent perspectives that support their political, ideological and cultural viewpoints. Particularly, they are written to support the writers objectives. They are attempst by the writers to empower themselves by influencing positively, as many readers, listeners and viewers as possible. And each of them thinks they have the only "right" version. It is all about establishing and maintaining power. On the more localised scene as described in the opening article of this blog, visitors to any country should remember :When in Rome, do as the Romans do". The same applies in Beijing, Shanghai etc. There are authorities, diplomats etc to protect the rights of visitors without them interfering with the locals. Locals are not experienced in dealing with visitors, especially those who believe their home cultures, laws etc are applicable or superior. |
