| Quote: | Sarkoszy and Merkel Boycott Olympics
Just recently the protests and riots in North Western provinces of China have become world news. Several hundred protesters have become a new celebrity cause for the ultra-right thinkers and so called world philanthropists. A who's who of people are clamouring to be associated with this popularized so called travesty of justice. Anyone from a film star to a politician will have a view on this issue and seek independance for a minority of activists. But hold on, are these dissentionist sympathisers people from democracies? I thought the idea of a democracy was that the majority held sway. I thought the idea of a democracy was that the indigenous population made the choice. Not a few hundred protesters who have been trained to pose and scream for the press. I thought that democracy was a process which was internalized rather than manipulated from outside. Maybe I am not sure what democracy is anymore.
One thing I am sure of is that 1.3 billion people are looking forward to the Olympic games with huge pride. These people are going to be tried by media over the next few months and will be open to all forms of abuse by people who just want the spotlight for themselves. Of course there is an issue of sorts in Tibet as there is in many parts of the world including Kosovo, Kurdistan and Basque to name just a few. But the difference here is the use of a peaceful event, the Olympics, to force and pursue a political agenda. The fact that educated peoples of the world would be part of this including Nancy Pelosi is truly shameful. The fact that this is the wrong venue to try this issue is truly unacceptable. Can this be stopped?
No, because there is too much political ground to be made. The new vertically challenged President of France has stated that he may not attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games because it is against his conscience. This is the the conscience of a man who can get elected President, divorce and get married all within a year. Amazing! Likewise the President of Germany Angela Merkel is making the same noises about boycotting the opening of the Olympic Games. They are politicising the Games for their own benefits.
That is fine. China cannot force these ingrates to behave in a dignified and non-political manner. These leaders do not care if they offend 20% of the world's population for their own selfish ends. But I would ask the 1.3 billion people of China if you really do need to buy French or German goods. Do you really want to support and promote the very Presidents of the very countries that would snub you in favour of a few activists. Why not show all these high minded countries who believe that there are so morally superior that in using China as a political instrument for their own ends will result in a boycott of their countries products. See if they get elected the next time round. What if the companies which rely on China show these poseurs that business and politics are also linked. What will German and French companies think of their Presidents when the people of China consciously ignore the products of main brands such as L'Oreal and Siemens etc. Let France and Germany know that snubbing the Olympic Games for political ends will lead to 1.3 billion truly offended people not buying their products.
People like Nancy Pelosi will also have investments or interests in companies. If it can be found out which ones these can also be boycotted by the population of China. These political hypocrites will squeal like stuck pigs once their own interests are damaged and maybe they might even shut up and concentrate on the things which concern themselves the most. Mainly them! |
Ich meine egal wie die Chinesen.
Die Diplomatie von Merkel und Sarkozy ist gegen China. |
