On this, I groove and flow. Robbed from the Gweilo.
In parsing the term, “Han” (the basic foundation of the ethos that is Chinese, … “I am of ‘Han’ ancestry,” etc.) and “jian” (a Chinese ideograph that incorporates the use of the character of a “woman” coupled with another radical “gan” that morphs phonetically and has to do with armaments and interference), “hanjian” alludes to the idea of some sort of disloyal/traitorous activity against China.
This is way kuwel.
I should check with my history pal just to make sure, still I feel pretty safe in opining that the writer of “Manufactured lies …” is a jingoist fool. More accurately, the writer is a racist, but that is just my take on the matter.
To brass tacks: you decide
The big thing is that the little thing has a big thing with the US and “think tanks.” You know R&D and the like.
Gosh. Welcome to the club.
Parenthetically, the writer might be better off examining what little might be above the navel as opposed to what is not so very pronounced below it.
Still, I just love the way the writer throws dates around.
1863. That was about the time that a Major in the British Army ended a decade plus civil war in China and sustained the Manchu throne from other great power incursions until its final collapse in 1912. (Best estimates are that 20,000,000 died in that civil war.) Imperialism has its uses, I guess. Oh. Major “Chinese” Gordon lost his head, literally, at Khartoum some years thereafter if I remember correctly. Certain circles have a re-occurring “head” thing.
1936. That date is something of a mystery to me. Why would the writer include the Xian Incident, I suppose, the year in which Chiang Kai-shek was kidnapped and then released to ultimately create a marriage of convenience between the KMT and CCP to stop Japanese aggression? I guess it makes a certain sense, if isolated from a larger analysis. I guess it is a “white” thing.
1937. OK, easy enough. The Rape of Nanjing and the start of WWII, assuming you are not “white” and interestingly, I also date the start of WWII at 1937 and I am “white.” Still, there were some tigers flying around, they were white and Christ almighty, bet one of them was from Texas. Nah, not really, just folklore, I guess. Further, the Communist Party in China did undergo a further re-organization in the hopes that the KMT might carry their water, so to speak, when it came to fighting the Japanese.
1949. Again. OK, easy enough. “China stood up” and then marched squarely into the jaws of first failure with the “great leap” only to conclude with the “Cultural Revolution” where the nation was reduced to “spot” cannibalism. Go read Hungry Ghosts by Jasper Becker. (Please, refrain from making that book available to the young or the emotionally unbalanced.)
1954. Vietnam? The “approval” of the PRC Constitution? Purge of dissident CCP party members, Gao Gang and Rao Shusi? The Geneva Conference on Korea and IndoChina? The first Taiwan Straits Crisis or the signing of the US/ROC Mutual Defense Treaty? Dang. I forgot. That was a big year! No matter. I wasn’t even born.
1989. CCCP/PRC? Flip a coin. Mikhail Gorbachev visited Beijing and announced that the CCCP died. Shortly thereafter, thousands of people at Tiananmen died as well.
2004. Aside from a bare-knuckled political brawl here in Taiwan, is the writer trying to tell me something?
So, what am I to think about the writer’s concluding remarks? Take a gander.
The writers of lies and distorters of facts in the USA think tanks have no morals, they have loyalty only to distortions and to the creation of lies to support the distortions to feed the American public with dis-information about China and to feed the frenzy of hate that is the USA anti-China Congress.Treachery is a crime in the USA, a criminal act, with a punishment to fit the terrible crime.
Treachery is a crime in China, a criminal act, with a punishment to fit the terrible crime.
The USA is a manufacturer of treachery in other places.
With that kind of logic, what’s a ‘mother’ to do?
“Child, have you ever thought about a career in politics?”
