2008nnd, there seems to be a big cultural misunderstanding here between Chinese and Indian members.
You should give us some credit, we've had experience with free media for the past 60 (62-2) years. We've also seen western media, their human rights orgs, evangelists, european parliament etc etc taking india's case in international fora over various issues. We read it all and analyse it. Even our own media is very commenrialised and many times just poor quality, but we KNOW that and we KNOW how to handle it.
Another thing - Indian media many times gives reference to Chinese media too. However, fact remais that Chinese media is govt controlled.
Also, I recommend you visit some respected newspapers like 'the hindu' for a few days, check out their coverage of China and then make up your mind instead of making generalisations about indians.
Also try to understand it as a cultural issue.
hi dear fateh71. i need to show my best respect for you ,'cause you are the very few rational and without bias indian in this forum !
i think in the western democracy country's eye. china=communism=evilness . any news from china are control by goverment, any news from china are deserved doubt and denial! I have to admit that some offical media in china like the CCTV(china central TV) is only for goverment or official' news. but china get huge of other medias and TV which were not representative of goverments' voice!
and also ,on which the internect media and news. nobody can completely control the internect. you should know this fact that
China's Broadband Growth have reach one hundred million
to be the world top one ,more than the USA and japan 。 NetiZens had exceeded the American population to reach 3.4 hundreds million!
every Netizens can express their own voice freely and get all news of the world from the internect ,and make their comment!!
so, in the daily life ,you can doubt or express different vioce to some goverment policy. that's no problem(the problem is that goverment may ignore your willing to carry out its policy) ,but didnt like what the western media's report that will put you in to prison(that's completely twisted and arabian nights). however there may some hypersensitive issue people here should better not go for !such as ,dont make any nation-split,against the social democracy!! nowdays
the world is greatly change during last 30years, indian and china also get great development during the 30years. china was not a society without free speech any more , it's great change like the change on chinese economy! but what's pity very little indian can know what's changing in china , always look on china with blinkers and bias!
i think only the indian bussinessman who had visited china can know what's changeing in china, how's chinese standard of living and their freedom! so ,i hope more and more indian can come and visit china to see a real china by your own eyes, and should send more indian's report to china to get the external news and comment from china. and china should do the same thing so as to undertand the real indian!!
thanks
