Chinese Side of Story, Told in Silences
It seems that the Chinese people live in a bubble that is completely
different from American people's bubble. Here are my thoughts about 2
recent events:
1. World's animal lovers are understandably outraged by the Yulin Dog Meat
Event. Note however, this "tradition" was a recent addition and its
introduction coincided with Mongolian invasion/occupation, when the Chinese
culture was nearly massacred and starved into stone age. Yulin itself is a
minority self-government area, for it to represent Chinese people's
tradition is like saying: America starts and ends with Baltimore riots.
Chinese animal lovers increasingly are standing behind their pets and wild
animals. Witness the recent burning of illegal Ivory stash by the Chinese
government. The Chinese people once decide against something clearly cruel
, tend to go all way against it. I talk with my Chinese friends, and the
overwhelming majority support a vigorous ban on such cruel "traditions",
much like the notorious dolphin hunts by Japanese ships.
Yet, mainstream media never mentions all this background.
2. A couple weeks ago, US government computer hacking by China dominated
the headline with sinister names of "Deep Panda" (by security company, say A
). The latest news is security company B, says: no no, This is not done by
Deep Panda. It's actually done by another player.
Truth is: nobody knows. Whoever tells you: "we know it's China hacking",
he's lying. The security experts could pretend, but not know for sure.
A couple of days ago, a critical vulnerability "Xara" ocked the Apple world.
Guess who found it? Someone at Peking University, China working in a team
with Americans. Yet China is left out of all the headlines but buried in
text if mentioned at all.
Why? Pregnant pauses are well and good, but the long silences are
interpreted universally as "admission of guilt". Chinese culture of
insensitivity and long silences gives its enemies (who wish it to Jericho,
if I'm allowed to mix this metaphor) the excuse to demonize China and all
things Chinese. Chinese Americans need to go out and tell their side of
the story. |
