French magazine justifies Uighur terrorist attacks on Chinese civilians

[TaiShang]

I agree 100%.

Problem is CCTV English is one of the biggest pro-Western networks out there, so Western crimes are never challenged by CCTV.

RT, Sputnik, PressTV are the only ones that challenge the Western narrative.

Besides a more proactive CCTV, new corporate international media and academia need to work to promote China's interests and set the discourse for both opinion making and theory construction.

In that regard, recent moves by China's companies to buy established media must be hailed.

On a side note, setting up a discourse starts at the personal level. It involves ignoring trolls and putting out one's thesis rather than reacting China-haters.

Reacting to and answering their arguments will only popularize (even if not in the good sense) their ideas.

Pretty pathetic. In that sense many terror attacks can be justified. Paris attacks can be then justified as well. Will she stand and say that paris attacks were the result of France going to war and if france had stayed away this might not have happened. NO. Bcz here common sense takes over and prejudice dies out. You can't nitpick. The same mist be applied everywhere. If the attack on civilians of France is wrong, of Europe is wrong then attack on civilians of Chinese, of Pakistan or on Syria or Iraq or Iran are wrong ....

The truth is that terrorism is wrong and she needs to remove her European lenses and look at the world in equality. Very pathetic attitude tbh. The western media has made a few nations the bogeymen and any destabilizing effect in them is shown with a hint of sympathy for the destabilizers.

The atrocities that Indian Military has committed in Kashmir alone is underrepresented. Mass graves and false encounters are a daily routine.......it is terrorism at its best.

and none of these would have happened if Pakistan in 89 after the soviet withdrawal ,have not not felt they broken Soviet Union and thought can do the same in Kashmir and pushed some assets from Afghanistan to Kashmir

On Nov 18, the French magazine Le Nouvel Observateur (The New Observer) published an article on its website authored by staff writer Ursula Gauthier, which blamed the Chinese government's policies in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region for terrorist attacks in China. That's a typical example of the West's double standard, which is hindering global efforts to fight terrorism, says an editorial in the Chinese edition of Global Times:

Gauthier's article claims that Muslim names are forbidden in Xinjiang and ethnic Uygur government staff must eat in public during Ramadan. However, Such claims are refuted by Uygurs as nothing but lies.

After the terrorist attack in Paris on Nov 13 that claimed at least 132 lives, the Chinese government condemned terrorism and expressed its sympathy for the French people. Many Chinese people also expressed their condolences to the victims. Guathier has noticed these because she includes them in her article, but she does not show any sympathy for the victims of the terrorist attacks in China.

It is shocking that she holds such deeply rooted prejudice against China. For her, it seems that every person should serve her politics.

She forgets that people all over the world have the same right to protect themselves from being killed for no reason. For her, it is evil to kill civilians in France, while it is "understandable" to kill civilians in China. She uses a different yardstick when terrorists kill innocent civilians in China.

In her view, only civilians killed by terrorists in the West deserve sympathy, but not the Chinese civilians who suffer the same fate. How ridiculous and absurd such an attitude is.

Being politically radical has so blinded some Western journalists such as Gauthier that they lose their common sense. They only know Western standards of "human rights". For that political purpose they dare to challenge the basic human norm that the killing of innocent civilians is a crime.

That hurts Chinese people. At a time when Chinese media and Chinese people had condemned the Paris attack and extended their support to the French people, it is offensive for the French magazine to publish such an article.

It is time the French media rethink such an ridiculous and unreasonable attitude. The Chinese people are friendly to the French people, who should have no reason to return evil for good. They should join hands in fighting terrorism.

The mistake is that Chinese people condemned the French attack. Sometimes silence is golden.

I agree 100%.

Do Chinese netizen bitch about CCTV being pro West? Where is a CT for Chinese?

It reveals two things:

1, Some Chinese love to suck west dick

2, Some westerners are brainwashed by human rights fighters

 

[Stag112]

That's because yours is a disgusting nation of mass murderers and terrorists who have no business being in Kashmir or so-called "Northeast India," full of people who consider you to be an alien, occupying race.

@Hu Songshan kindly take care of such language. I must say the language and racist outlook of chinese posters here is a little disturbing. Also the tendancy to resort to abuse when hypocrisy exposed.

they are "human rights fitghters" or "freedom fighters" until they terrorize a western city. Than they are "terrorists"

Chinese government is incredibly spineless allowing such terrorism supporters to live in China.

We need to take a leaf from the Russian KGB handbook on how to deal with certain journalists.

Yes. That's why it is significant to put through the knowledge as to the the state-friendly mainstream Western media.

The more they show their true colors, the better.

The government allow terrorists sympathizers, English teachers, foreign journalists (spies) to live in China. Those are more harmful than brainwashed Chinamen
