Chinese Reactions To Google Leaving China

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Most people have already heard western media reactions to Google leaving China proper and redirecting search traffic to its Hong Kong branch, but ChinaSMACK has translated comments from average Chinese internet users so that non-Chinese can understand how the Chinese public feels. While many of them are supportive of the government on some level, they were able to obtain many comments by those critical of the government before they could be 'harmonized' (deleted) and translated those as well. The deleted comments often complain about the wumao (50 cent party), government employees who are paid 50 cents RMB per post supporting the government, and worry that the Chinese Internet will become a Chinese LAN."

It sounds like you are quoting Democratic President Woodrow Wilson ("make the world safe for democracy"), and he was no Christian. He was a member of the KKK. Furthermore he was hardly democratic since he rounded-up folks and threw them in prison for daring to cricitize his adminstration. Example: Alice Paul, the suffragette.

Also you misuse the word Manifest Destiny, which referred to a U.S. that stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It had nothing to do with world affairs beyond those borders.

As I recall, from history, it was the Europeans that believed it okay to colonize the whole world and suppress everyone to European ideas for 400-some years. Including China. Apparently the Euros think we've forgotten that, but we have not. We and our Canadian/South American neighbors used to be suppressed colonies too.
