<You articulated quite well, except the last paragraph.> You called that articulation? I say that being ******* stupid!!!
Relax friend. Mr. Sub-zero thrives on "living on the edge" - even if just for a moment in cyberspace. Truthfully, I simply validated his sentiment and some of the logic behind it. But I hardly endorse his view in totality.
Clearly, if you know how many off-spring of the CCP upper echelon are/have been abroad, and consequently hold foreign passports, you'll know that there are reasons behind certain outrage.
After all, it won't be a blessing for anyone if the PRC were to be run by "NRCs" just as India is arguably puppet-mastered to a considerable extent by "NRIs" whose wettest dream is to out-neo-con the neo-cons, India the tool be d@mned.
Anyways, ethnic sympathies for the diaspora and vice versa will always exist. However, proper nation states today do not function primarily based on ethnic sympathies - shared cultural/language/religious identities within a framework of objective definition of merit can work just as well.
But that's a digression.
Finally, I have no problem with "thinking like the white men" if I happen to agree with the particular thinking of a particular man. Cutting off the nose to spite the face is not a measure of confidence.
And it is quite unlikely that Mr. Sub-zero himself would have learned serviceable English language from a black man or a brown man - in a statistical sense (though not impossible) ...
To make trouble for the nation of Turkey will pay China no dividend and frankly as someone said, this is not a game the PRC even knew how to play. It's not worth learning now. Aping Uncle will not prosper.Maybe the PRC should use the Kurdish (PKK) to rise against the Turks.
To combat transnational grey wolfline trouble-making, PRC has a very limited role to play under present circumstances. Iran, Russia, (as well as Armenia and Greece) will do all the lifting.
But if something like the "Bernard Lewis" project ever succeeds, then a good chunk of the bets are off.
