Subject: Idiots: Chinese urge anti-west boycott over Tibet stance Sun Apr 20, 2008 3:33 am
Bwahahaha!!!
Go ahead! Make my day!
You boycott us and we'll boycott you... Then let's see who ends up standing in the end... clueless oppressive motherfuckers!
Protesters demonstrate how they would like to suck on Mao's dick!
BEIJING: Armed with her laptop and her indignation, Zhu Xiaomeng sits in her dorm room here, stoking a popular backlash against Western support for Tibet that has unnerved foreign investors and Western diplomats and, increasingly, the ruling Communist Party.
Over the last week, Zhu and her classmates have been channeling anger over anti-China protests during the tumultuous Olympic torch relay into a boycott campaign against French companies, blamed for their country's support of pro-Tibetan agitators. Some have also called for a boycott against American chains like McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
On Friday and Saturday, protesters gathered in front of a half-dozen outlets of the French retailer Carrefour, including a demonstration in the central city of Wuhan that reportedly drew several thousand people, according to Agence France-Presse. On Saturday, about 50 demonstrators carrying banners held a brief rally at the French Embassy here before the police shooed them away.
For the moment, however, most of the outrage is confined to the Internet. More than 20 million people have signed online petitions saying they plan to stop shopping at the Carrefour chain, Louis Vuitton and other stores linked to France because of what they see as the country's failure to protect the torch during its visit to Paris two weeks ago. In a survey released on Friday, China's state news agency, known as Xinhua, said 66 percent of those who responded said they would stay away from Carrefour during a monthlong boycott planned for May.
Public indignation has also been directed at Western news outlets, which are blamed for one-sided coverage of the torch relay and for anti-Chinese bias in their reporting on the disturbances in Tibet. In recent days, foreign news outlets here have been swamped by angry phone calls; two music videos circulating on the Internet blast CNN with expletives and lyrics like, "Don't think that repeating something over and over again means that lies become truth."
Like many young people, Zhu, a student at Beijing's prestigious Foreign Studies University, said she had been infuriated by what she described as unfair attacks on the country's image. "China used to be known as the sick man of Asia," said Zhu, 19, who has been sending out tens of thousands of pro-boycott messages through QQ, a popular online chat service. "We were separated like sand. But this worldwide show of support by Chinese all over the globe illustrates we have solidarity on this issue. After 5,000 years, we're not so soft anymore."
The boycott call, spread through millions of text messages and postings on the country's most heavily trafficked Web sites, provides a window into the technology's growing power to mobilize a country whose political passions are usually kept in check by tight government control.
Although Communist Party officials have the ability to block text messages and Internet traffic they find objectionable, the censors have until now allowed more leeway for boycott organizers. In many ways, they have been feeding the outrage by publicizing the threat by the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, to skip the opening ceremonies and by repeatedly calling on CNN to apologize for remarks made by Jack Cafferty, a commentator who called the Chinese government "goons and thugs." The network has expressed regret for offending the Chinese people, but officials here have dismissed the response as insincere.
But in a sign that the government may now be worried about the intensity of popular passion, the official news agency, Xinhua, said on Friday that it was time to curb nationalist zeal. While it lauded the boycott crusade, it advised people not to complicate the government's aim of encouraging foreign investment in China.
"Patriotic fervor should be channeled into a rational track and must be transformed into real action toward doing our work well," the agency said.
On Saturday, it issued a stronger warning, highlighting government concern that anti-Western sentiment could affect public attitudes during the Olympics, when 1.5 million people are expected to arrive. "Every son and daughter of China has the responsibility to show to the world in real action that China welcomes friends from all countries with open arms and will deliver an outstanding Olympics," it said in an editorial.
In the past the government has encouraged nationalistic outbursts and then quashed them when passions grew too inflamed — or when the protests had achieved the political purpose officials envisioned. In 1999, the authorities gave free rein to a brief spasm of anti-American protest after the accidental bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, in what was then Yugoslavia; in 2005, they allowed even larger anti-Japanese demonstrations, which were fueled by anger over textbooks glossing over Japan's wartime atrocities in China.
