And what’s wrong with dissing those sissified fake descendants of Charles Martel? They won’t defend the right of Brigitte Bardot to speak her mind, they won’t actually boycott the Olympics, and they think their President not showing up for the opening ceremony is a big deal… No wonder about 1871, 1914, and 1940…
And the Chinese had the audacity to call the French ‘fascist,’ for human rights protests! With its hyper-nationalist, authoritarian political system, China could be on the verge of real fascism. Let’s hope they don’t take up fascist-style foreign policy to promote domination of the Chinese people. Presently, China is a clear winner through free trade and cooperative relations with its neighbors but I’d hate to see what happens if trade relations falter or the country hits a major economic downturn - there may emerge bona fide fascist elements - not a pretty picture.
I see Chinese racism everyday through Steam, an online gaming network (for those unfamiliar, Steam distributes such games as Half-Life and Counter-strike). The Chinese servers I play on often include common-sense rules such as “no hacking” and “no Japanese or dogs.”
China seems determined to make all the worst mistakes the west made in its development. Poor distribution of wealth, horrible working conditions, intense nationalism, increased military spending, and ever increasing territorial claims. I think I have an idea how this story ends.
Way amusing. I don’t think they realize that Westerners don’t eat dogs, and in many cases, prefer the company of dogs to other humans. Like the saying goes, “if you want a friend in this city, get a dog”.
I’m a mandarin speaker, and the translation is accurate. The cabbie knows his history too. In colonial , turn -of -the -century Shanghai, there were parks in foreign controlled areas (I think French were the first to do this) that had signs which said, “No dogs or Chinese”.

As I said before, if you think Korean nationalism is scary…
Well, they had to get it from somewhere…

@#1:
Reminds me of the image of the “Americans Not Welcome” sign in the restaurant window that appeared back in 2002.
I’m part French. Would that Chinese cabbie take me partway where I want to go?

True… now times that by, oh… a billion.

socialism (as practiced by the communist camp) and small f fascism are at least kissin cousins.

Maybe it ends in a Communist revolution!

So, socialism, and nationalism together? Maybe the Chinese will start a new political movement, National Socialism.
Well, not entirely new…

Wouldn’t it be cool if the Chinese gave an Olympics and nobody came?

I would say he knows his propaganda.
