The rising cult of China experts

[Jlaw]

Just a matter of time.

A corrupt or scared country would not do this:

"China will uninstall the Windows operating system from 15% of government computers every year after Ni Guangnan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, filed an internal report to Chinese decision makers detailing the urgency of replacing the Windows system, Jinghua reported, citing an anonymous source with knowledge of the matter. The source saidChina’s state-owned enterprises will also stop using Microsoft’s chips, servers and software.

The move follows China’s May decision to ban government use of Windows 8, Microsoft’s latest operating system, out of security concern. By 2020, a “significant” number of Microsoft’s products will be replaced with domestic versions, the source said."

Which country before China has really challenged the US on so many fronts?

It's a start but this security issue has been talked about in conspiracy and other main stream site for years. If Snowden did not leak the news, will China implement this as quickly as they are doing now?

Is denying entry to some trouble maker foreigners to your country and not renew their visa such a hard thing to do? Is China afraid of the backlash? Seriously, people all over the world are denied entry to the west all the time without explanation. Like someone posted, when you have a 20 year old foreigner claiming to have a masters degree and teaching English in China, you know you got issues.

Yeah, it's not about whether they are asking for too much, it is about the vanity of Chinese education institutions and the Chinese masses. If schools recruit foreign guys, they are supposed to be professional, so the English beginners and parents will have more confidence.

20 something year old person cannot be that professional. If the average age of English teachers are 30s to 40s than that is a different story.

But they are not.

The rising cult of China experts
By Thorsten Pattberg

BEIJING - A couple of years ago I met a German man at Harvard who boasted about his political stipend, his up-coming talk in New York City, and how he worked hard on the liberalization of Tibet and the breaking-up of China. There are no human rights in China, he explained to me. I was impressed and reminded him that if he ever plotted this way against our German government he could be tried for treason. He left in contempt.

He isn't the only one. There is a cult of Western evangelists and self-righteous crusaders who are determined to dislodge non-Western nations and usurp their governments.

In China they act as if above the law. That's because they see the Chinese government as corrupt, non-elected, and communist, and thus illegitimate. So why care about what it says or stands for? Moreover, these evangelists believe Westerners can do whatever they want in China because America and the entire Western propaganda apparatus will bail them out should trouble arise.

These so-called China experts are now a political force in direct opposition to the Communist Party. They form clusters and networks, with a strong hierarchy and code of ethics: They reward their Twitter followers and lickspittles and praise each other's work, while policing social media and punishing "traitors" or "China apologists".

When Yang Rui, a CCTV news anchor, condemned the activities of foreigners in Beijing, his character was assassinated and internationally paraded by China experts as glaring example of what happens to any Chinese should he or she dare to look askance at them.

In the West, foreign extremist groups, left or right, are monitored and tightly controlled. But no-one controls these Western imperialists. Germans finance Xinjiang separatists, Americans finance Taiwan separatists, British finance Tibetan separatist. US journalism even dispatches tactical troops to Hong Kong determined on bringing down Xi Jinping, the president, and his family.

The hierarchy of China experts is this: At the top we find the philosophers and statesmen who set the stage and agenda for the universal ideology - exclusively serving Western interests. They always reside in the West, know little or nothing about China, and discuss China solely on Western terms. In the past there were the likes of Kant, Hegel, and Wilhelm II; today we have Henry "on China" Kissinger, Francis "End of History" Fukuyama, and Samuel "Clash of Civilizations" Huntington.

Next we have the journalists and editors, most of them white or accessory white, in key positions at the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Economist, and so on. Thanks to the Western planetary media monopoly, they have become the new global fascist elite. Their culture is narrowly interbred, and some personal relations border on the incestuous, so they float each other's boat and write almost identical muck-raking stories. Everyone in China knows who they are, and their China-bashing is green-lighting all of us to join the onslaught.

Most China experts are culturists down to the last fiber. They tolerate all races as long as they Westernize and speak English, but show utter disdain for all foreign words, concepts, and terminologies (language imperialism). They also prominently decide who - Chinese or foreigner- gets praised and who gets defamed, and - most importantly- what gets omitted in their China reports. Their own corrupt ways get omitted. Ask yourself, when was the last time you read a piece by a prominent Chinese (other than a dissident) in your nation's newspaper? You haven't. It is a tight Orwellian grip.

Last, we have legions of lesser, disposable China watchers. Few of them enjoy fat expat packages, bigwig relatives in the media, or peddling political influence. Unable to find proper jobs and secure a future in China - apart from becoming activists, bloggers, or English teachers- they are recruited easily and radicalize quickly. Everyone has met those frustrated Westerners who once believed in their entitlement, got disillusioned, and found a way to spend their days: to patronize and correct the Chinese.

China isn't the only victim. All other six non-Western civilizations are feeling the whip of Western imperialism. The West claims it is "universal" and that is does not (and cannot) take responsibility for any of its abusive individuals in foreign lands since they are all free agents. It's the same old excuse since the age of colonialism.

Taking part in the Western mission to civilize the East is highly spiritually rewarding. And what is political destabilization and social unrest but a sweet revenge for China's disregard for Western hegemony. Favorite targets are: corrupt officials, suppressed minorities, Han chauvinism and misogyny, demonstrations, currency manipulation, and censorship. It makes China experts feel good about themselves. They feel like social justice warriors. The problem: this is not their country, and their negativity is poisoning everything.

Thus, China experts are constantly on the look-out for Chinese stand-ins. Dissidents, pro-Western activists, any Wang who can waive the American flag. The collaborators are showered with media coverage, prizes, and stipends, visa, freedom awards, and even Nobel Peace prizes. This tactic didn't get unnoticed by the zhishi fenzi (intellectuals), a class who would do anything for Western media attention - like the artist who in May sliced himself and cut out his own rib for a "more open China".

If Beijing dares to protest, there will be ever harsher Western media campaigns: China is told it must not impede on Westerners' "freedom" to slowly destabilize the country from within: Censor them, and they will tattletale. Incarcerate them, and they will become martyrs. Ignore them at your own peril.

Your opinion, sirs? What China should do? Does it fail to track, monitor, and persecute those ideological terrorists inside China? @Genesis , @Edison Chen , @Chinese-Dragon , @tranquilium , @cnleio , @senheiser , @Beidou2020 , @Raphael , @xunzi , @beijingwalker , @terranMarine et al.

An example of this is the guy from China Uncensored- a YouTube channel. They act as if the west is angelic and would never spy on or torture people, except of course they do all the time.

China is too modest and timid dealing with the West. China is constantly playing defence while the West is constantly playing offense.

Unless China as a country and as people find a backbone, the West will continue to trample on China and Chinese interests.

Chinese are generally very passive people, unlike Westerners who are very aggressive interfering in other people's internal affairs.

China's timid and passiveness is seen as a major sign of weakness to outside forces and they take advantage of it.

China needs strong patriotic leaders that don't give a flying f*** about what anyone thinks of China and do what's best for China.

True. i think it's culturally ingrained.
