Now that the Nobel Peace Prize hoopla in Oslo is all but done with, with Western media bullhorns at full blast amplifying the cause of Liu Xiaobo, it is now China's turn for payback time.
Instead of doing the "Rope a Dope" Muhammad Ali defensive routine, it is time for Chinese officials to show some "testosterone" in their verbal posturings lambasting the Nobel Peace Prize, and follow through on what they said they would do, in a concrete, clear and unequivocal way..
With regard to those countries who "dissed" China by attending the Oslo ceremonies, enabling the Western news media the tools to bash and insult China, the Chinese government must exercised sure and certain retribution for payback.
With respect to those 18 countries who respected China's request not to dispatch their ambassadors to attend the Oslo ceremonies, the Chinese government should act and move shiftly to solidify and express its gratitude and appreciation.
Here are a few immediate moves which should be made loud and clear pronto.
1. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao should announced that his visit to New Delhi, India, next week, is now cancelled; in lieu of visiting New Delhi, Wen Jiabao should visit Pakistan and engage the Pakistanis in Islamabad with a package of new trade deals. The Chinese PLA should sell more arms to Pakistan, since India is playing "the American Card" and prancing around hoping to be "America's imperial policeman" in South Asia. Let the Indians go with their "American Sahib."
2. Chinese President Hu Juntao should also announced that his upcoming state visit to the U.S., at the invitation of President Barack Obama, is now cancelled, with no new schedule being considered, followed by China's shifting of and cashing in US$ 100 billion in U.S., treasury notes, designed and calculated to signal America's financial market that China is not happy. 中国不高兴.
3. In the Korean peninsula, the consensus reached by Chinese State Councillor Dai Bingguo with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il this week, must be followed by concrete measures and new steps of Chinese food and economic aid to Pyongyang. As a further signal that this move by South Korea, Japan, and the U.S. to encircle China on its eastern flank and to rachet up the trio's bellicosity will not be allowed to stand, China should immediately convene a summit among the Russian, North Korean, and Chinese military officials to discuss joint military exercises as a counterfoil to the "Gang of Three," i.e. the U.S.South Korea, Japan in the China Seas.
4. China should immediately dispatch a high-level delegation to Teheran to discuss with Iranian officials on areas of cooperation that Iran and China can work together and consolidate their trade, economic, military, and strategic colloboration and coordination.
5. China's aviation authorities should cancel the 103 Airbus purchases which was announced a month ago during President Hu Juntao's visit to Paris. Instead of ordering from Airbus, and ignoring Boeing, Chinese officials should instead steer its aircraft purchases to is domestic manufacturers, given the that China's Commercial Aircraft Corporation can do their own C919 passenger civilian passenger jets, breaking Airbus SAS and Boeing Co.’s stranglehold. China must and should signal to the European community its total displeasure in response to the insulting and disrespectful move by the European community in Oslo, Norway.
6. China should cancel any pending orders from British Rolls Royce on any aircraft engines currently on order. It should be made loud and clear to the Brits that China is displeased by British duplicity, disrespect, and dishonor by its posture vis a vis the Oslo Nobel Peace Prize.
7. China should also announced major cancellations of mineral supply contracts from Australian export mining, Rio Tonto, as a signal of China's displeasure with Australian belligrence, insult, and disrespect.
Zhung Guo Bu Gao Xing 中国不高兴
Finally, instead of visiting the White House, President Hu Juntao should shift his American state visit instead to the American hemisphere, and enplane instead to Cuba and Venezuela on or around the same time next spring at the dates and time that Hu Juntao was supposed to be visiting Barack Obama at the White House in D.C. In this vein, Chinese trade officials should work to solidify some trade deals with Cuba and Venezuela, and steer some business to Cuba and Venezuela.
China, must at the same time, signal to Brazil that its official attendance at the Oslo Nobel Peace ceremonies will not be seen as a friendly move by a fellow BRIC nation. Perhaps, China must now reconfigure BRIC to become RIC instead, meaning Russia, Iran, and China, and drop Brazil and India.
Zhung Guo Bu Gao Xing 中国不高兴.
Above all said.... do you think the current officials in Beijing, the fourth generation, have the cujones to do these moves ?
Are they wimps or are they leaders ?
All eyes of the global Huarens are upon China and its supposed leaders.
Zhung Guo Bu Gao Xing 中国不高兴.

Western Wacko Lynching and Dirty Tricks vs. Wikileaks
The tranche of documents disclosures, in the form of over 250,000 diplomatic cables by American diplomats released by Wikileaks founder Julian Assange reeks with duplicitous, hypocritical, under-handed behavior underneath the seeming "howdy-doody" image of American liberal democracy.
In truth, underneath this seeming platitude and veneer of clean, transparent government and governance is a rotten system and process of government and governance by deception, falsehoods, and duplicity.
Americans have no standing to hector or lecture China and the Chinese people about free expression, freedom of the internet, or about transparency and the freedom of ideas.
What has happened since the expose unleashed by Wikileak's chief leaker Julian Assange is nothing short of collective massive government meltdown and a
governmental nervous breakdown of obscene proportion and reaction which demonstrates the very utter hypocrisy of Western liberal democracies.
Look who is talking ? Look who is committing political dirty tricks to take out an Australian dissident who dared expose American government hypocrisy?
TRANSPARENCY? THE RULE OF LAW? DUE PROCESS? ABUSE OF HUMAN RIGHTS?
What is unfolding right before our eyes surrounding the "honey trap" of Julian Assange on four alleged trumped-up sexual assault charges by two Swedish female groupies is not only specious but a grand conspiracy by Western governments led by their ruling class to muzzle, muffle, and suppress the truths about the nefarious acts and activities of government officials who lie and lie through their teeth about the ugly, armpit side of their governance, most notably led by U.S. government officials, of whom we have just begun to scratch the surface.
May Julian Assange continue to be unleashed and further illuminate on more of the hidden, nefarious, duplicitous acts of misgovernance of Western regimes.... from their opacity, double-talk, lies and deception, manipulation, and connivance.
This Friday, December 5, 2010, in Oslo, the connivers, the co-conspirators, the duplicitous Western officials will congregate in Oslo, and do their ritualistic hypocritical hoopla for PEACE, HUMAN RIGHTS, and FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
While these hypocrites beam their headlights pointing to China and its treatment of LIU XIAOBO, for allegedly muffling Mr. LIU's freedom of thought, and right to dissent, don't forget that right in their own Baltic backyard, the Norwegians and the Swedes, with their American masters, are deep in their own wicked machination, deep smuck in a wacko mob-lynching orchestration to lynch one JULIAN ASSANGE, by charging him with a flimsy, bogus "honey trap" charges, as a pretext to muzzle, and muffle Mr. ASSANGE'S rights of expression.
Between LIU XIAOBO and JULIAN ASSANGE...... whose rights of expression is being wantonly abridged and suppressed?
Whose human rights are being suppressed and grossly trampled upon?
Consider the following piece from the UK GUARDIAN, which points to the utter hypocrisy of Western governments, including but not limited to the U.S.A., NORWAY, SWEDEN, and yes Mr. ASSANGE'S own home country, Australia.

The U.S.-India-China Dance - Will India play "the American Card" with China ?
The world is at a cross-road. The stakes cannot be bigger and more significant in determining whether or not a new age of global relations is in or the resuscitation of the Cold War is back.
As BO embarks on his trip to Asia-Pacific this weekend, a few days after the mid-term elections, expected to be a debacle on the domestic policy front, the symbolism of his trip to India, his first as a U.S. president, cannot be more revealing.
In the face of China's continuing recalcitrance in not caving nor succumbing to Western and in particular American pressures on a host of issues, from human rights, democratization (Western style), currency revaluation of the renminbie relative to the U.S. dollar, trade deficits, Tibet and the political monk's platform from the West using Chinese officials as whipping boys for defanging Tibetan "cultural autonomy," America today, under Barack Obama, is increasingly looking to India as a "counter-foil" to blunt and contain China's re-emergence on the world stage.
The big ultimate question for India and India's ruling Congress Party, under Indian premier Manmohan Singh is: "Will India play the "American Card" against China?"
What does India want and are Indians leveraging its position for certain advantages, such as:
(a) a permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council Seat ?
(b) a comprehensive resolution of the border boundaries issues between China and India specifically on Arunachal Pradesh?
(c) Concessions from China vis a vis Muslim-majority Kashmir, which is a volatile issue in South Asia which has triggered several skirmishes and outright wars between India and Pakistan ?
What does America, through Barack Obama's emergent "Encirclement of China" or "Neo-Containment of China," want from India ? Are Americans focused on:
(1) Enlisting India as a "watchdog" for Western and American interests at China's southern perimeters, at China's southern flank, as Japan and Japanese ruling class under Naoko Kan being enlisted to be America's "watchdog" in China's eastern flank?
(2) Getting India to open up its potentially vast market to bail out America's deep economic depression by buying up more American goods and services ?
(3) Cultivating India, as one of the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, China) new emerging states, as a counterfoil to China's rise ?
On the sides of the East Asian summit in Hanoi a this week, the signals as demonstrated in the body language, contacts, photo-ops, demeanors shown by Premier Wen Jiabao points to China's outreach to India's premier Manmohan Singh to prevail upon him and his government, as well as the Indian people, not to play "the American Card" with China. It is also very clear that as to relations between China and India, Beijing offiicials are prioritizing it as a more strategically important and more salvageable relationship than that with Japan.
Please note:
On the sidelines of the Hanoi summit, the relationship shown between that of Premier Wen and Japanese premier Naoto Kan was not only cold, but sour, and pointed to a deteriorating relationship by virtue of Japan's belligerency on the issue of disputed Diaoyutai, and worse, its internanationalizing of the dispute by drawing in the Americans and playing the "American Card" to the max. This was a slap in the face. And clearly Chinese officials are showing their displeasure against the Japanese government of Naoko Kan.
That BO's trip to India provides a "texture" on how important this trip is to BO in terms of his foreign policy attitude and mind-set.
40 airplanes will be part of BO's entourage. The entire Taj Mahal Hotel has been booked, en toto, for the presidential party and his gungadins, an entourage full of American businessmen salivating to sell trains, nuclear technology, and do other deals with India.
Michelle Obama and their two daughters will accompany BO on the India leg of the trip. Telling signals on the demeanor and nuances of this trip.
Premier Wen Jiabao, by a surprise visit to the India Pavilion at the closing of the World Expo in Shanghai, calibrated a very significant and "nuanced" signal to his Indian counterpart, Premier Manmohan Singh. The signal is loud and clear, " don't steer over-exuberantly too close to the American Tiger, or you may end up being devoured by it." As it now appear, following BO's trip to India, Premier Wen Jiabao will schedule his trip to India, to try a last ditch effort to stabilize China's relationship with India, and remind India that it should not be the West' "running dog" in Asia, as Japan's Naoko Kan and the Japanese have become America's "running dogs" in Asia.
Check out the report of Premier Wen Jiabao's side trip to the Indian Pavilion at the World Expo in Shanghai, after his Hanoi appearance for the East Asian summit, with the ASEAN countries. Wen's deliberate and intentional visit to the Indian Pavilion was intended to be an olive branch designed to reach out to India to do the right thing. You will note that Wen Jiabao deliberately avoided the Japan Pavilion or the U.S. Pavilion on his trip to Shanghai World Expo, following Hanoi.
Zhung Guo Bu Gao Xing. Zhung Guo Bu Gao Xing.
Check out the logistics of BO's upcoming visit to India, and the calibrated nuances being desciphered by "Amerika Watchers" inside China.
The signals at the Hanoi summit insofar as Premier's Wen Jiabao's demeanor pointed at Japan's Naoko Kan are unmistable. Icy Cold.

The politics behind the Nobel Peace Prize and the Norwegian "cold warrior" behind its crusade to demonize, destabilize and encircle China
There's more to the story behind Liu Xiaobo, as an "asset" of the Western cold warriors -- hell-bent on a crusade to effect regime change and to re-make China to comport and conform with their "Europeanized" version of democracy. This devious plan is part of a grand conspiracy to burnish Liu Xiaobo with the aura of a "champion" of Chinese human rights, and deserving of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.
Why are the Norwegians behind this prize doing this at this time, at this juncture with this frontal media assault and "in your face" insult against Beijing and its governing officials ?
As the secret informant behind the Watergate scandal which swirled around former President Richard Nixon, code-named "Deep Throat," admonished the duo reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, "Follow the money;" so should we "follow the money" behind the Nobel Peace Prize and see who is "on the take" and "why." The dynamics behind the selection of Liu Xiaobo, as this year's awardee cannot be more revealing of Western machinations.
Yoichi Shimatzu, a Japanese journalist and former editor for Japan Times, an iconaclast, who has lectured at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and who has written about Tibet and the Nazi links of the Dalai Lama, the"political monk in saffron robe," whom many Chinese dubbed as "the wolf in sheep's clothing" (You may Google Mr. Shitmatzu's writings and find out more about his views) filed a fascinating report and analysis which is linked below with the website of New America Media. (Read link below)
Mr. Shimitzu's think piece (linked below) is very illuminating and provides some background about the politics behind the Nobel Peace Prize. In its overzealous, missionary zeal to promote freedom of expression, what is so ironic and hypocritical about the "spin" behind news coverage in the Western media is the deliberate blockade, suppression, and tamping down of Mr. Shimitsu's "contrarian" view. Apparently, the Western news gatekeepers, from the New York Times to others, deem Mr. Shimitzu's contrarian views "not fit to print." Censorship and suppression cut both ways, in both East and West, it appears.
This year's award recipient, Liu Xiaobo, reeks with the smell of "NATO" Cold War politics, with a Czech "asset" for NATO, Vaclav Havel, and a Norwegian "cold warrior," its former premier, Thorbjoern Jagland, machinating from behind the scene in Oslo. Why? and what are their hidden motives ?
In his piece, Mr. Shitmatsu, analyzed the "dark hand" and the politics behind the Nobel Peace Prize, and how this once prestigious award for the promotion of true world peace, named after a Norwegian explosives entrepreneur, Alfred Nobel, has been prostituted and usurped as a vehicle to promote Cold War politics and the imperatives of a Western-dictated new world order.
Thorbjoern Jagland the former Norwegian premier, foreign minister, dubbbed the "George Bush Jr." of Norway, is the chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize award committee.
Mr. Jagland's Cold War stance and his push to expand NATO's role in projecting the European hegemonistic world view of "democracy" and his anti-Russia, anti-China "cold war" views are analyzed succinctly.
The geopolitical hidden agenda and the politicization of the Nobel Peace Prize award, in the recent selections of Barack Obama for 2009, and now Liu Xiaobo, is anything but about true world peace. It is about power, and projecting power to reshape the world in the face of the emergence of the BRICs in the non-European world, namely Brazil, Russia, India and China. At this juncture, it appears that we may have a new "I," i.e. Iran, to replace India, if Barack Obama is successful in enlisting India's premier to sign on as its "western proxy" to contain China from South Asia, through China's southern flank.
Barack Obama's November state visit to India, South Korea, Japan, and Indonesia bear watching, to see how successful this "neo-containment" policy to encircle China, in this new cold war geostrategy, will succeed or not.
That Vaclav Havel of Czekoslavakia, the "asset" behind delivering this former Eastern European country from the Soviet orbit into NATO is very telling.
That Czech and Norwegian troops are now part of the NATO "coalition of the willing" to pacify and wage counter-insurgency in Afghanistan as part of NATO's pacification and subjugation efforts in Amerika's expanding war in Afghnaistan is described and well analyzed as part and parcel of this new world order, and the Neo-Containment policy to destabilize China from within, and encircle China from without.
The neo-containment Cold War playbook has been dusted up,brought out and resurrected from the attic, with the imprints of George F. Kennan, the father of America's "Containment" policy, and John Foster Dulles. Only this time, the neo-Cold Warriors have added China to the targeted list of "enemy".
Below is the link to Mr. Shimatsu's think piece analyzing the geopolitics behind the Nobel Peace Prize and how one Norwegian politician prostituted and perverted this annual peace prize into a drumbeat for war, albert a new cold war :

Does Liu Xiao Bo deserve the Nobel Peace Prize ? Or is he a tool used by the West to bludgeon and bash China ?
Why Liu Xiabo is a "Trojan Horse" to destabilize China
I want all global Huarens, overseas and specially those resettled in the West, to read what I have to say. Circulate this e-mail to your friends and own network.
Let there be no doubt whatsoever about the Nobel Peace Prize award for Liu Xiaobo. It is a "Trojan Horse" in a sinister move to contain China, and weaken its resurgence. Worse, it is a calculated conspiracy to try to "re-make" China in accordance with what the Western hegemonists and their minions in Asia-Pacific want China to be..... weak, compliant, and subservient.
Why must China and its people remain steadfast and resolute in not succumbing to Western pressures and bullying in the spin to burnish and embellish this "hanjian" as a champion of Chinese human rights ?
"Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred ideas contend." China's intellectuals and huaren overseas must debate this vigorously and not be reticent to call the rascals, charlattans and the "hanjians" who are in our midst, the Liu Xiaobos" of the East, sucking up to their Western masters.
Liu Xiaobo is wholly a creature of the West.
In choosing him this year for the Nobel Peace Prize award, the Euro-hegemonists from the West are showing its last gasp to try to foment "luan" inside China.
The Norwegians are just a minor complicit player in this "Neo-Containment" Policy which is not being foisted by Western governments, now mired in their own morass.
There are hidden motives and a sinister agenda in this emergent "neo-containment" agenda now playing out from Western Europe, Australia, Canada and the United States, with its minions, in Asia-Pacific, joining the chorus.
This clash cuts at the the very heart of Chinese intellectual debate not just within China but outside in the Chinese Diaspora.
And we who are global Huarens must not shirk in our independence to call it like it is, despite of, inspite of, and notwithstanding the fervour for "the Western Moon" which is now very pervasive in Singapore, Taiwan, HongKong, and even inside China, among the "yellow monkeys" who lap up all this "Euro" chic and hogwash.
In my "third space" 第三空间 perch looking at the West and its relentless and increasingly strident campaign to destabilize China and the "gweillo' overzealousness to attempt "re-make" China to conform and comport with and to its"Europeanized" concepts of democracy, human rights, and its hollow "Rule of Law," the choice of Liu Xiaobo, the "hanjian" cannot be more disingenious.
The significance of this "mother of all battles" cannot be more glaring. There are more of these "hanjians" in Asia's midst. And the minions and "gungadins" of Western neo-colonialism is relentless, vicious, and uncontrollable in their overreaching and overzealousness to destabilize, marginalize, isolate, and fragment China.
Let's look back at post-World War I, and revisit the May 4th movement to gain some illuminating lessons from this intellectual clash within China and the Chinese Diaspora.
The core debate is whether or not the followin China's march to the modern era should be built by the following vision:
"While Western studies and culture are good for utilization and application, Chinese studies and culture must serve as the basis to check and balance them." (Xi xue wei yong, zhong xue wei ben.)"
Consider the following think piece from inside China, from a Chinese student studying at Renmin University, who saw through the cultural betrayal by Liu Xiaobo, and explained the context behind this clash, and Liu's betrayal.
Chinese all throughout the world must not succumb to cultural "self-hatred." And China must chart its own course; seek its own path; and not allow the West to interlope and meddle in its internal affairs, least of all, now that Europe and America are mired in its own big mess, economically, socially, culturally, and spiritually.
http://newamericamedia.org/2010/10/a-nobel-peace-prize-for-cultural-self-hatred.php
I say this to Ma Ying Jeau, the President of Taiwan, who talks "blue" but act "green."
"Don't sell out China's sovereignty and independence." "Do the right thing as a proud Chinese, not a neo-colonial."
I say this to Singapore and its current crop of "kiasu" "Western Moon is Rounder" and "Western Worship" officials.
"Don't underestimate the intelligence of the Global Huarens." And "don't coat-tail behind the Western neo-colonialists and Euro-hegemonists." "Know who you are, and know your cultural identity."
Western Neocolonialism is sowing its oats today in Asia-Pacific and the Third World; and we must be resolute in not only resisting, but in fighting back.
Global Huarens must know whose side they are on.
I want all global Huarens, overseas and specially those resettled in the West, to read what I have to say. Circulate this e-mail to your friends and own network.
Let there be no doubt whatsoever about the Nobel Peace Prize award for Liu Xiaobo. It is a "Trojan Horse" in a sinister move to contain China, and weaken its resurgence. Worse, it is a calculated conspiracy to try to "re-make" China in accordance with what the Western hegemonists and their minions in Asia-Pacific want China to be..... weak, compliant, and subservient.
Why must China and its people remain steadfast and resolute in not succumbing to Western pressures and bullying in the spin to burnish and embellish this "hanjian" as a champion of Chinese human rights ?
"Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred ideas contend." China's intellectuals and huaren overseas must debate this vigorously and not be reticent to call the rascals, charlattans and the "hanjians" who are in our midst, the Liu Xiaobos" of the East, sucking up to their Western masters.
Liu Xiaobo is wholly a creature of the West.
In choosing him this year for the Nobel Peace Prize award, the Euro-hegemonists from the West are showing its last gasp to try to foment "luan" inside China.
The Norwegians are just a minor complicit player in this "Neo-Containment" Policy which is not being foisted by Western governments, now mired in their own morass.
There are hidden motives and a sinister agenda in this emergent "neo-containment" agenda now playing out from Western Europe, Australia, Canada and the United States, with its minions, in Asia-Pacific, joining the chorus.
This clash cuts at the the very heart of Chinese intellectual debate not just within China but outside in the Chinese Diaspora.
And we who are global Huarens must not shirk in our independence to call it like it is, despite of, inspite of, and notwithstanding the fervour for "the Western Moon" which is now very pervasive in Singapore, Taiwan, HongKong, and even inside China, among the "yellow monkeys" who lap up all this "Euro" chic and hogwash.
In my "third space" 第三空间 perch looking at the West and its relentless and increasingly strident campaign to destabilize China and the "gweillo' overzealousness to attempt "re-make" China to conform and comport with and to its"Europeanized" concepts of democracy, human rights, and its hollow "Rule of Law," the choice of Liu Xiaobo, the "hanjian" cannot be more disingenious.
The significance of this "mother of all battles" cannot be more glaring. There are more of these "hanjians" in Asia's midst. And the minions and "gungadins" of Western neo-colonialism is relentless, vicious, and uncontrollable in their overreaching and overzealousness to destabilize, marginalize, isolate, and fragment China.

The Scourge of Drugs and the Putrid Smell of Marijuana and Alcohol Abuse in the West - the Chinese people must take heed
Consider that this November, 2010, voters in California will be asked to legalize marijuana in America's most populous state, and as an enducement to push for this perverse drive to push for expanding the envelope for more "freedoms" and so-called "civil liberties," proponents of the voters' initiative are offering to tax marijuana as a panacea to fix California's fiscal mess.
California's current fiscal budget hole has skyrockted to over US$ 20 billion, and growing as this once great state implodes from within. Given the deep economic recession resulting from America's overall collaspsing financial institutions and economic infrastructures, with joblessness, home foreclosures, personal and business bankruptcies exploding all over, it is desperation and lunatic times in America's biggest and most populous state.
As American pundit and the late President Ronald Reagan's speechwriter Peggy Noonan aptly put it, " We (Americans) are living under times of collaspe, with collaspsing institutions from government, churches, jounalism etc." How perilous but on point indeed.
This latest piece of marijuana news originating from California exemplifies the depth and breath of drug and alcohol abuse in the West, with London in Europe, and Los Angeles serving as metaphors of a decaying West.
Go visit any major American and European cities.... from London to San Francisco, New York City to Vancouver, Paris to Philadelphia, the sights of drug addicts, alcoholics, social miscreants, panhandlers, beggars, crazies wallowing in these cities' mean streets are telling and shocking.
In the L.A. Times today, the L.A. City Council reportedly has decided to put a grip on the proliferation of marijuana purveyors passing as "medicinal cannabis clinics.
By latest estimate, there are more than 1,000 to 1,200 of these dope houses operating in Los Angeles. Check out the link below:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100119/ap_on_re_us/us_medical_marijuana_los_angeles
Over a century and a half ago, China and its people went through the scourge of Opium. And the pejorative diss words, "The sick man of Asia" was aptly ascribed to China. That "sick man" insult continues to haunt China and its peoples today.
It is now historical "deja vu." History has a way of repeating itself. Empires rise and empires fall. Are Californians at the precipice ?

When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order by Martin Jacques
A book authored by British author Martin Jacques which has just been released late last year has evoked much debate and controversy around the globe.
In particular, this book posits many perceptive thoughts which question and dispute the heretofore European-Western orthodoxy about democracy, human rights (Europeanized defined; and look at China's emergence as a counterfoil to Western hegemonistic hold in the world of ideas, politics, and culture.
Let's debate the contents of this book.
Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred ideas contend.
A small flicker may light a prairie fire. Without a doubt, the re-emergence of China in the world stage ushers an era whereby a sense of direction, and that big over-arching vision of where and how the Chinese people are going to pursue modernization and to what extent should this process incorporate Western values and embodies Western culture, with its good and bad.

The GOOGLE-AMERICA ARROW ACROSS THE BOW -- WHY CHINA and ALL GLOBAL CHINESE MUST STAND STRONG and FIGHT BACK
The gauntlet has been thrown first by Google from Mountain View, California last week-- followed by yesterday's high-profile public excoriation by the U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton against Chinese officials on the issue of internet access and freedoms, and allegations of cyberhacking traced to China.
The biased Western news media such as the New York Times has spun and orchestrated a torrent of "bad-mouthing," China-bashing, Chinese demonization,and disinformation alleging that China has censored, and put up a firewall to suppress dissident views in the internet piped in through Google.cn and its search engine.
Coupled with this attack, the biased Western news media has spun an unsubstantiated story, without clear and convincing proof, or even by a preponderance of evidence, or the higher criminal standard of beyond reasonable doubt, that cyberhackers, at control, and direction of the Chinese government, has engaged in cyberattacks and pilfered intellectual property and source codes which are proprietary to Google.
What kind of poppycock is this ? And why is this rhetoric and saber-rattling being orchestrated now, at this time, and at this moment ?
For all global Chinese (Huarens) who have been observing Sino-U.S.-West relations, the writings on the wall, and the signals being calibrated to poison and destabilize China and China's colossal growth by the West and especially by America and Western Europe cannot be clearer.
The Google attack is pretextual. It is a conspiracy which has been hatched, scripted, staged and directed from the West, designed by the China bashers and demonizers to destabilize China and Chinese society, and a sinister attempt to foment "luan" among the naive, growing segment of Chinese netizens who are quickly and exponentially surfing the world wide web and taken on the information highly with must gusto, much enthusiasm, albeit also with much naivite.
Since over a decade ago, from my "third space" perch, then at Huaran.org, I have written about the megatrend of globalization and the consolidation of media and information behemoths in the new frontiers of the internet and the information highway.
In and of itself, the internet is a tool which can do much good, and at the same time do much evil. It is the content and control of content which have become critical. As I predicted, content and software is the name of the game.
Whoever control and dominate the content in the internet and can shape and dominate content can control and shape the minds, and in shaping the minds, they can become the masters over the slaves who are being bombarded and "brain-washed" by this content.
Without a doubt, those of us who are ethnic Chinese living overseas in the Chinese Diaspora know and experience the West and especially America in its rawest, most banal, most perverse side. The picture does not look very good.
We have seen the "armpit" side of the West and especially in London, in San Francisco, in New York City, in Vancouver, in Toronto, in Sydney, in Paris, all across many inner cities in the West and especially in America.
Alcohol and drugs..... moral degradation, predatory behavior, sociopathic and nefarious activities are skyrocketing and running out of control. In short, the West is crumbling from within, not by what the non-West is doing to it, but by what Westerners are doing within and to themselves and to each other in a morally degenerating, puerile, and vulgar environment.
China and all Chinese, whether inside or outside China, must learn from the mistakes of the West.
China's economic growth has been stellar; but at this time, there are storm clouds in the horizon. Aside from robust economic growth demonstrated by statistics and numbers, China and all Chinese must watch out for the real honest-to-goodness growth of its civil society, its moral and social underpinnings. China and all Chinese cannot ape the West and absorb hook, line, and sinker any Western and smells chic Hollywood.
I know. I have lived in the West for the greater part of my life.
Believe me.... "The Western Moon is Not Rounder." "The Westerner's Fart does not Smell fragrant."
Sad to say, Western-European imperialism and colonialism may have left China; but the "Western colonial mentality" and blind worship of the Western Moon and the Western fart have not left China and in the minds of many of its people, and especially in today's post-Mao Zedong era, and post-Deng Xiao Ping youth.
In my opinion, China's most formidable challenge is CULTURAL POLLUTION, and the POISONING OF THE MINDS from the toxic content being spewed from the WEST, not just through the internet, but through social-cultural seepage and contamination resulting from a more open society, more open borders, and more travel by "lao wai" visitors from abroad.
The good side of it is more exchanges and interfaces with "lao wai" brings about more understanding and knowledge. The bad side of it is, if not mindful of the toxins, China and its youths, naive and ignorant as many are, because many have not been exposed to the West, may end up becoming "yellow monkeys," apes of Western depraved values of hyper-selfishness, self-indulgence, hypermaterialism, aggressiveness, lack of "li," and downright vulgarity and perversity.
Already, drugs and pornography have reared their ugly heads in China's cities, towns and villages.
Even in prestigeous Peking University, China's elite university, there are anecdotal stories of marijuana use among students, and most of these "bong parties" and bongheads are Westerners who have brought in the passion, obsession, and binges vis a vis pot use, drug use, and alcohol use and abuse.
China's firewalls, we all know, can be circumvented. Like the Great Wall built by Emperor Qin, designed to blockade the intrusions from foreign invaders, it was not an effective wall nor could successful stop invasion, but nonetheless a symbol.
It is symbolic of Chinese civilization and its sense of itself, and speaks to the Chinese people's awareness that we must be ourselves, cannot be other than ourselves, with a historic civilization rooted in our people's consciousness, and that we must vigilant to do the right thing for our society, our civilization, and our culture, not by Westeners' rules or their standards.
If modernization is equated as westernization; if the West insist on their perverted, warped, "Europeanized" notion of democracy, or human rights, or internet freedoms, of drug use, of "one man, one vote," of "freedom to cavort, get drunk, get sex, get high,"...... all Chinese must resist and refuse to accept.
Let a hundred flowers bloom. Let a hundred ideas contend.
But for China and all Chinese' sake, don't let Google or the West dictate, control, or dominate content and the information highway, unconditionally, or according to what the West and the Googlers want, by their whims, and on their own terms.
China and all Chinese must fight. We should fight back. We should stand firm on Tibet, Xinjiang, and resist the "compradores" and those among us who still naively believe that "The Western Moon is Rounder" and that "The Western Fart is More Fragrant."
En Garde. En Garde.
The gauntlet has been thrown. And let the line on the sands be drawn.
As Mao Zedong declared on Oct. 1, 1949, "The Chinese People has risen."
The Dragon awakes.

HAITI EARTHQUAKE CATASTROPHE --- The Urgency for Chinese to Declare a Truce Across the Taiwan Straits and Do the Right Thing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talk about more heartbreak in the aftermath of a horrific catastrophe in the poorest, most impoverished "basket case" country in the Western hemisphere.
More than a week after the giant tremors demolished the capital of Haiti, Port Au Prince, and brought deaths to over 200,000 Haitians, 3 million displaced and rendered homeless, in a country with a national population of 9 million, Haiti remains at the crosshairs of geopolitical rivalry, back-biting, fights, incompetence, corruption, opportunism, fear, reprisals.... and all the nasty things about human society.
I am not trying to take away the selfless, heroic, magninimous giving and sacrifices rendered by aid workers on individual personal levels, from doctors to nurses, social workers to ordinary blokes from the streets.
But there is no question that Haiti and the aftermath of the earthquake rescue and relief efforts have been disastrous and speaks to the corrosion of government as we know it, as a safety net. Instead, what the world saw was not Sichuan but headless chickens running around with their wings flapping, with little coordination and organization in Haiti.
Across the board, the chaos, the anarchy, the infighting, posturing, leveraging has made ordinary Haitians the "Sad Sack" stories of today's uglier, unkind, brutal world.
Aside from the gross incompetence and chaos shown by American troops who poured in with assault weapons, lots of military equipment, but not enough medical supplies, make-shift hospitals for emergency care, tents for temporary housing, heavy equipment to dig through the rubble.......
Consider that the rivalry across the Taiwan Straits has now also resulted in a tussle in Haiti between Beijing and Taipei. Beijing and Taipei officials can do better.
The spirit of Sichuan, demonstrated under the leadership of Uncle Wen Jiabao was absent in Haiti. Why ? Where's the age-old Chinese humanity and civilizational trait of altruism without politics and the spirit of "Datong" ?
Is it once again "checkbook diplomacy" ? Or should this be one where across the Taiwan Straits, all Chinese must cut the b.s. over whether Haiti should have diplomatic relations with Beijing or with Taipei.
As an ethnic Chinese, I am angry and aggrieved by this nonsense in the face of a calamity which has brought about such disastrous consequences upon a country and a people in the Caribbean, without a functoning government, if at all, living in utter despair and desperation.
Cut that out..... please. The officials in charge of relief work from Beijing and Taipei must stop "politicking" and stick to doing the right thing. Plain and simple. Read the following Al Jazeera story:
