They should have interviewed Dr.Eric Li and I feel he would have wiped the floor off that fired MSNBC host that promptly went back again to work for Al Jazeera. Medi is such an American boot licking nincompoop that he was practically waving that little American flag so proud of him becoming a U.S. citizen not too long ago. But because he dared to question the actual people and country who can't be questioned, his show got axed since he got too big for his britches.
Individuals like Mehdi, this Chinese girl who thought she had a gotcha Winnie the Pooh moment are simply the useful idiot comprador non white slaves of white supremacy. They, like the Asians, arabs etc who staff the Anglo imperial war machine are no different to the “house negroes” of American history, as Malcolm X referenced.
I think because Chinese place respecting authority as paramount, Chinese don't generally understand the concept of individual rights. Every anti-China Chinese basically is just following what the West tells them to do or what they think the West tells them to do because all they are to them is the "rightful" authority. Who is considered a rightful authority? Anyone who is in power. It's such a loose definition for Chinese because they will consider someone who's just older being an authority. That's because older people are more experience therefore wiser. Just because one is older, it doesn't mean they're wiser or they have good intentions. But there are plenty of Chinese who want no exceptions because another thing Chinese value is stability and avoiding chaos. If there's one exception, everyone is going to make an exception and thus the rule becomes meaningless and chaos will ensue. And Asians will look up to the US and the West as an authority. Why? Because they're in power. They're number one in the world. It doesn't matter how they got there and that's the trick isn't it?
Just look at Hong Kong where it was supposedly all about democracy and human rights. Those activists beat people for not agreeing with them. When interviewed by even Western journalists who questioned their tactics, they had no answer like they were confused and thought what they were doing was okay because the leaders of democracy and human rights, the US and the West, didn't say anything. If they understood what democracy and human rights are, they wouldn't do that. It's the opposite. They're doing it the Chinese way of how things work where all you're doing is what the authority tells you what to do. Then look at the riots in the UK just happening. It was posted in here of how Hong Kongers that escape to Great Britain were posting on social media being protective of white racist undemocratic actions. What's in common is that they're just pro-white (the authority) not pro-democracy and human rights. I bet right now if they were to read this, they wouldn't understand what I'm talking about because they don't have an understanding of democracy and human rights.
Ironic because all the anti-Chinese Chinese are just doing what Chinese do, warts and all. Here in the US, I encounter a lot Chinese who say they side with the US but they want Chinese to follow Chinese cultural ways. They don't like Americanized Chinese because American values make Chinese more think about themselves. Then why do they hate China? They don't want Chinese to be individuals. They want Chinese to value Chinese culture because they like all the cultural mechanism that give them control. What's the difference from a communist in Beijing that stifles dissent from a Hong Konger who beats people who don't agree with them? I don't see a difference and both of them think it's okay to do. What's the saying...? You lead by example. A lot of Westerners don't believe in democracy and human rights so it's expected that pro-West Chinese are going to follow because their authority ain't following it either.
The thing is, the Confucian respect for authority isn’t and shouldn’t be blind obedience otherwise how else would poor emperors and the ROC have been overthrown due to incompetence and losing the Mandate of Heaven? Chinese people are realistic and pragmatic and will eschew worshiping deities if those deities do not serve, as opposed to the cult like blind worship that westerners demand.
I believe our parents and our elders were a product of a time when western dominance was so overwhelming and abusive, that they transferred that generational trauma onto their children ie us in the form of harshly reacting to speaking up to authority, because I still remember being strongly discouraged as a child from questioning a teacher out of fear of making him lose face.
Those hong kongers that you refer to were most likely a product of Chinese parents who were trained by the British to see themselves as lower than low compared to white caucasians, simply because they are Chinese and that to improve their lot, they had to become less Chinese. This incongruence leads to low self esteem which results in them lashing out when they observe a Chinese person who doesn’t subscribe to their Anglo approved worldview.
observe the outspokenness of generation alpha and zoomers in China. Unlike my generation, I doubt they had parents who valued white approval over chineseness, and I doubt they were taught to defer to a westerner simply because they’re a westerner. This behaviour of supplication is corrupting not just to Asian societies as in Hong Kong and Singapore and Taiwan, but it’s also corrupting to the white westerners who come to Asia and expect to be treated as kings. Look at the case of the white middle aged balding loser who go to south east asia and thinks he has the authority to direct traffic and order asians around, why do you think he was presumptuous enough to do that in Asia and not in say New York? Or Sydney?
The rise of China is the death of white privilege, small wonder small white nations like Sweden and Lithuania and Australia fight so hard against China.
