Well that's the obvious answer of course, and the least favorable justification one can come up with. I was merely interested in getting some kind of farfetched explanation to why this guy in particular think the west is what he says.
To me, it sounds like he and his ilk thinks the west just goes "We'll make China look real bad because...because...because then we'll have made them look REAL BAD!"
At least middle-eastern extremists can say something about oil and imperialist american pigs. I mean, come on CCP'ers, at least use your imagination a bit, build some straw-men or something, don't just say "You're a booger-faced son-of-a-whore", that's just mean...
One question : WHY would "the West" want to tarnish Chinas image? Whenever these pro-CCP people start accusing the west of being anti-china, activists and propagandists, they never really give a reason. Why would the west do it? What can the west possibly gain from it? Please tell me, I'm sick and tired of CCP-sockpuppets who are trying to defend their own political position by accusing the west of multinational conspiracies which would never work IRL.
If you can't justify your system any other way than to demonize the rest of the world, kindly leave the chair for someone who wont just stick their heads in the ground.
...do you make the miming Lego-child? And after you've shown me that, I'm curious to see the Lego-child that didn't make it...
Come on Slashdot, this is like a joke-buffet, could you have found a topic which is less ready for comical interpretation?
I always liked Sega for their games. I remember during the Genesis/SNES-war how I hated the guts of Nintendo, simply because it was a competitor to what I had.
Nowadays though the game has changed. Now it's Nintendo/Sega against Playstation and Xbox. Whereas Nintendo and Sega go for innovative ideas and fun gameplay, the two others go for graphics and photo-realism. I've no doubt in my mind who should win when it comes to consoles, PS and Xbox can take all their "uuuh shiny"-games and shove'em.
If there's one thing the government hasn't learned yet it is paying money to some company about something they don't understand is generally a bad idea.
It's all fun and games until some kid from Finland renders your new-bought toy obsolete.
Problem is, they only wanna do it where the cameras are pointed, or where they can point the cameras.
I guess it will all be much more apparent when the Olympics are over, let's see how much of the 'olympic spirit' persists when they don't have an international PR-reason to uphold these seemingly generous gestures.
Who knows, maybe the CCP will see the benefits of being generous to its own populace, instead of being the ornery babysitter it currently is. I see little chance of that happening though, individual freedoms are not compatible with the sentence "CCP will stay in power", so they'll fight that particular luxury at every turn.
Lori Drew was last seen walking away from the Pearly Gates wearing a T-shirt with the catch-phrase "I got dizzed by a cyber-tranny, killed myself, and all I got was this stinkin' T-shirt"
With this kind of blatant State censorship, at least people know they are being censored.
I wouldn't be so sure. The main-things they are censoring are hardcore-pornography, kiddie-porn and 'risks to social stability'.
Guess which one is important. And guess what people will grow to think of it when it's always grouped with kiddie-porn. It's kinda like trying to sell a car with Hitler posing on the hood. It's not subtle, but people still wont buy the car.

Mine got caught in the elevator-door. Now it's an IDE-cable, partly.
But...I thought they were all belonged to us?
I'm lovin' it.
It looks like you're trying to bend a spoon, would you like to:
- Try harder?
- Give up?
- Spew pseudo-existentialist bullshit and see what happens?
