I am just surprised that there are a group of people in the western world who have so much confidence on talking about Chinese issues with their miserably little knowledge on China and, the only reasonable explanation works to me is that they can not wait to show their stupidities.

Today on my university newspaper, the sports section, a brainless eagerly exposed his concern in the article named "China must improve prior to Olympics",

 “There are a lot of problems with China right now. Environmental standards are non-existent, there are human rights issues that need to be addressed and there is an ongoing feud about the Chinese occupying Tibet.”

Who tells you the environmental standards are non-existent? Based upon my memory, the daily air quality report have been bounded with weather forecast for up to ten years, and Beijing are running for days of blue sky for more than 6 years, with the record keeping being broken every year. The National Environmental Protection Agency has shut down thousands of small paper producing factories along major rivers and strict environmental laws have been approved and implemented for around twenty years. Exactly, China has environmental problem, but don't forget there are a number of remote places in China you can find electronic wastes and other garbage exported from United States and European Countries. Why not turn the face to appeal the forbidding of U.S. waste exportation, if the author really wants to help China improve its environment?         

The author seems a protector of human rights and a lover of Tibet. Ok, I don't know if your human rights have any overlap to my ideas of human rights or to any ordinary Chinese. Whatever the extent of religious freedom the event might relate, the protest and afterwards riot caused more than a dozen ethnic Han people died from the fire set by the mobs. Where are their human rights? Regardless the freedoms of speech or freedoms of belief, their freedoms to be living lives were taken away by those culprits. Even schools and hospitals could not escape from the mobs' attacks. They were the VERY peace protestors the western TV stations described. Please allow my suspicions on the western standards of peace if these TV stations are talking from their hearts. Maybe that is one of the most important things our oversea Chinese need to learn and act on those western TV stations.

Every American knows their government's foreign policies are made and conducted solely aim to maximize the U.S. interest. Having such a crowd earth and being neighbors with many other countries, how can the foreign policies achieve the maximum of national interest without harming any other countries' interests? As harming some country's interest, how can the human rights of citizens in that country be perfectly protected? My logic makes me very curious on the role that this human rights protectors can play. They have to either save that country's human rights, as the author in this article pretend to do, which inevitably hurt their own countries' interests and their compatriot human rights, or vice versa.  

The guy is called David Harding, and his email is hardindd@email.uc.edu. He is anxiously waiting for the support of a boycott of the Beijing Olympics. Anyone who has time, please send some words to him, reminding him the existence of Chinese on the world. Thanks.
