I'm a young engineer in one chinese cooperation,my interests include history,economics,philosophy,etc,as a chinese,i sincerely agree with you on some opinions in your article,such as,on property developer's foul behavior,on chinese diseased law,although,things are improving.
in chinese ancient philosophy writtings 'Tao Teh Ching',one section reads:"where wisdom come out from, there is more mendacity",human wisdom started and developed the modern politics,media etc, current media/politics...,correctly verifying the words. had you ever wonder?what you are insisting is right or wrong after you had being influenced in your political envirnment for years,i believe chinese education in autarchy had transformed our consciousness,so i change anthor way to look the world rationally,including politics and media ...,actually,i do found the ideological presupposition in your article,you know,look with tinct glasses,there is only distorted picture,maybe,that picture can suffice your readers.
we know,no matter what we do,there must be lots of brickbat waiting for us,that's your common practice,we just need not care it.
maybe you are living in china,my wife just come from chongqing,where you stay now,but you don't understand our history and environment,i come from a village,20 years ago,i was eight years old boy who is picking leek,Chillies etc,catching fish,my grandmather is still living there.but i and my sister is now in the progress of reform and soaring economical development,i'm a market analyst,and my sister is an architect. in economical book's opinion,we are part of digged economic potential,and i believe the undigged potential is still huge,chinese students need not to pay for first nine years' education now,although,they maybe in poor villages.
french freedom is lovely,it gives best movies, such as 'red/white/blue/killer leo', french freedom is also arrogant,economic development is huge human rights,you can not found or accept the truth,you just adhere the old chinese picture,that's all
