This is my response for Jack Cafferty’s recent slanderous remark on China(report here):
Even though I am a Chinese, I have to admit that China make cheap goods that may not be of superb quality. But saying that China made goods are junk is a total generalization. And for labelling Chinese as ‘goons & thugs’, that is eefing ridiculous. Don’t you forget that the Chinese invented many useful items like paper, compass, as well as came up with useful strategies like the Sun Tze Art of War which influenced many WESTERN MILITARY THINKING/BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. For example:
“The Department of the Army in the United States, through its Command and General Staff College, has directed all units to maintain libraries within their respective headquarters for the continuing education of personnel in the art of war. The Art of War is specifically mentioned by name as an example of works to be maintained at each individual unit, and staff duty officers are obliged to prepare short papers for presentation to other officers on their readings” (from Wikipedia)
Consequently, these remarks show that Cafferty is not as knowledgeable as we would expect of a CNN reporter. If you are not thoroughly well versed with affairs of China, please do not assume that negative reports on certain Chinese products are representative of ALL products made there. This shows ur immaturity in making judgements.
It is quite a sad case for China during this period of her economic boom. Negative reports ruined her reputation for all manufactured outputs and affected her trade ties, this also led to criticisms of her citizens(and business efficacy?) too. It would sure require a lot of effort to earn back the trust amidst the all the scandalous remarks that seem to be increasing each day. Some of which stemmed out of jealousy and are just for the sake of playing politics.
Let us hope that the Beijing Olympics would be a testament to the world that China and the Chinese are in no way less superior than those countries and their citizens who denounced her. Lastly, it is an undeniable fact that China is on her way to be a superpower.
