We just have to liberally sprinkle lots of pro-China comments in our messages to ensure that our geeky breathern in the Far East can continue to enjoy the scintillating, intellectual banter found everyday on this great site.
Given the political leanings and the level of historical knowledge of a large portion of Slashdot'
s posters (just like most of Western civilization's inhabitants), this will probably occur naturally.
Why are there so many anti-Israeli protesters and yet so few Free Tibet protesters. If one were to sit down and logically analyze the two issues, would there still be such a disparity between the number of people supporting each cause?
Why is there so little outcry when the PRC decided to "test" yet another missile across the Strait of Taiwan? Why are Europeans so concerned with the actions of the US yet so (relatively) apathetic toward the actions of China? (I can understand why some Americans are so concerned about the actions of their own government, but what about the Europeans and the Canadians?)
