"He is nothing but a low-life tax cheat. That the Western dilettantes and chi-chi coochie-coochie snobs from the Western art world in London, Munich, Berlin, and NYC burnished and amplified his credentials as the "designer" of the Bird's Nest Stadium in the 2008 Olympics Games in Beijing is a real "stretch."

They needed a "poster boy," and Ai Wei-Wei is what they can get.

They thought they had a Lech Walesa (Gdanst, Poland) in worker Wei Jinsheng, and they burnished his image as "China's Lech Walesa.".... Once he arrived in the U.S., and stayed with his benefactor and sponsor, Prof. Andrew Nathan of Columbia University, who never got over his "trauma" railing against the "butchers of 6/04/89 Tiananmen) from his ivory tower in Columbia, Wei Jinsheng turned out to be an "eccentric and egomaniac."

Prof. Nathan can't get rid of Wei fast enough.

Like Liu Xiaobo, who is not much of a writer, but an imitator of Vaclav Havel, who does not have much original thinking, nor can write..... the West needed desperately a "yellow face" to anchor their China-bashing and Chinese demonization.

Ai Wei-Wei is "it." At this time, the China bashers in America's neolib-neocon bandwagon are feverishly looking from the list of those "jailed lawyers" to see which one is telegenic and submissive enough to be their next "poster boy" or "poster girl."

They need a "token Chinaman" or "token Chinawoman" to validate their "human rights" spin and China-bashing chorus and orchestration."

How can we be a chinese pet when we are not just more productive than China on average, but far more developed, more advanced, have better educational facilities , militay tech, bases overseas , etc ? The U.S leads the west because its not only more advanced but has far more global reach, better living standards despite its huge size, educational facilities/universities , tech by far etc etc. Until china reaches European level of development/tech then it cant even dream of having an ally/subordinate in the west. It has to not only surpass we in Europe but the U.S as well. We all know that will take a very very long time if ever, since we can never predict the future. So lets live for today.

He is as irrelevant as that blind lawyer. LOL

What Ai Wei Wei done? Why you guys dislike him so much.

 

[Ibr0kEmYrAz0r]

The majority of Chinese don't even know who he is, never heard of him - hence using Baidu search, the name doesn't come up/get deleted whatever, and to those who reckon the name rings the bell, most of them don't give a toss.

 

[sword1947]

the son of Ai qing, have a deal with anti-China groups.

 

[IR-TR]

Baffling? No. They want those sweet, sweet billions that China has to invest in GB. Who do you think will build their HS2 high speed line? Yeah, don't want to anger China with another fake, propped up Dalai Lama. It's 2015 now. Soon, that old Tibetan child molester won't be welcome anywhere.

You have Rolls Royce (engines) and BAE. That's about all you have. Granted, they're top of the line, but you don't produce that much. A bunch of Jaguars nobody buys and Range Rovers the millionaires buy (both Indian owned btw), and that's it.

Britain flip-flops and gives Chinese artist Ai Weiwei full UK visa

Lool Do you even know that we invest more in china than vice versa??? Just because we dont go around the world or on PDF(lol) bragging about any little thing we do/achieve unlike other countries shouldnt fool you into thinking we dont have much to show.lol.
Just because our media in the west likes to exaggerate every small thing China does(for political reasons) shouldnt also fool you into believing our overestimation/exaggeration of china. Lol.

Europe /west/Japan invests farrrrrrrr more in china than vice versa by a wide margin, though we seldom brag about all our investments there.

We invested almost 10billion dollar in FDI in china last year,while china managed to invest just about half of that in the U.K(that too after a double digit increase in chinese investment here,before that it was even more miniscule/smaller.lol). We in britain are still the most open/pragmatic country in Europe and the west by far, as we dont care from where investors come from unlike say the U.S,FRANCE,JAPAN,Australia etc, and mind you that 5.1 billion dollars chinese FDI in U.K is the largest in europe. In other european countries China invests even far less. Lol So you stil think we in britain and europe depend on china for investment/survival?

Sure the UK is a big investor. But the UK opens factories in China and closes them in the UK. China buys houses in the UK and builds rail. See the difference? And also, trade deficits matter.

well, now you are talking more maturely my man. Nice one.

We build factories in China yes, but those are still british/british companies. In some ways its rather a strange WIN-WIN co-operation. Since Western/Japanese companies invest/set up/run huge factories in China for competitive reasons, China simply manufactures these western designed goods and services and exports them to the west/U.S/Japan. Its similar to vietnam in some ways, though it has more indeginious input than vietnam.
The real money is being made by our companies since this is where the high value lies, not in the low cost manufaturing china does. Reason the chinese governement is trying to move away from western designed manufactured goods in China to chinese designed and manufatured goods. Which i think is a wise decision. Since the low cost/low end manufacturing is ok/good, but not ideal for a country who wants to move up the value chain and be a global tech powerhouse, earning more bang for its buck.

So yes chinas has a huge trade surplus mainly from exporting western designed/run goods and servces with factories in China. In some way , its like our companies manufacturing their goods in china at competitive prices and simply exporting them back to us, this can happen with any developing country with good investment climate/decent infrastructure. So to be honest there is nothing special/high tech/ground breaking about that. Lol.
Since chinese exported goods are still of relatively low added value and quality, and they lack independent brands

I'm afraid to dissapoint you, but China is still behind technologically compared to the west/U.S/Japan and even S.korea.

Before you start bashing me as anti china, i will just quote from chinas own nationalistic media Global times , this is what china's own minister of commerce said/admitted, i quote:

In 2013, exports of electro-mechanical products and high-tech products accounted for 57.3 percent and 29.9 percent of the total exported goods respectively. However, the core technologies for a lot of these products are controlled by foreign companies, according to Gao.

Foreign companies in China produced 61.2 percent of China's electro-mechanical goods exported abroad and 73 percent of high-tech goods for exports, Gao said.

China becomes No.1 goods trading country - Global Times

So there you go, most of china's high tech/end production is still mainly dominated by western/japanese companies. So still a long way to go before you sart bragging.

China's R&D investment will surpass US in two years, your own Re industrialization strategy should be more quick. Foreign assets account for under 4% of the total assets of China. China is absolutely a economy developing on our own effort.

 

[j20blackdragon]

Manufacturing in China is a double edged sword for the West.

If you manufacture in China, you also hand over the technology.

China gets the factory.

Chinese workers get the experience.

And ultimately, the PLA becomes the gatekeeper for the product.

If we wanted to, we can single out a country and stop all your products at the port.
