In the Beijing Olympics, the Western news media had relentlessly attacked and piled on Chinese authorities for overreaching, overreacting, and overcommitting public security resources in making Beijing safe.
They accused Chinese authorities of stifling dissent and protests.
They caricaturized the XXIX Olympics Games as a "no fun" Olympics Games. No guzzling-beer parties, no wild nightclubs, and no dope/no sex. Worse, no sensationalistic "mau mau" protests.
Better be safe rather than be mugged in Oakland, California, I say. And if you are a Chinaman, you put your life at peril if you now live in Oakland, the city across the Bay from San Francisco.
America's most densely populated Chinese region, the San Francisco Bay Area, is currently gripped in a violent crime epidemic with armed "takeover" robberies targeting many small "Mom and Pop" food establishments and other small businesses in cities like Oakland, and now Hayward, California.
After all the China-bashing and demonizing bigotry being spewed out by the venomous Western news media, the piling has now shifted to "open season" in "Chinaman lynching" in the form of "takeover" armed robberies of Chinese restaurants in Oakland and Hayward, California.
Talk about racism, and the illusion of democracy, "American style."
And here the West is trying to hector China to follow after the model of "democracy, American style." Click on this banality:

And yet another one, and more to come -- "Chinaman lynching" unleashed to target Chinese "mom-and-pop" restaurants. From "takeaway" Chinese food, it is now "takeover" armed robberies and muggings.
