I am an American ... ( 3 months ago by georgewu5)

I am an American trained Chinese-American architect. I am 71 years old. I worked for I.M.Pei, Skidmore,Owings & merrill, architects,etc. I like most of the new buildings in Beijing very much! except the CCTV! My reasons are many; the asymmetrical design, after billions spent on beefing up the structure, still an unstable building that will collapse during the next earthquake! That is my professional opinion!- George Wu,A.I.A. 2008-8-16---dancewu(dot)net

No they're jealous ... ( 3 months ago by brettishfan)

No they're jealous of you guys, I mean the ones who repeatedly slandering China and Chinese people, no matter what you do ... only shows they're jealous of the rising China. Any change takes time, in my opinion China has come a long way, and you guys are doing many wonderful things too! I hope more people will focus on the positive than the negative.

its cultural stuff man, just how i went to South Africa and they were serving elephant vagina and penis for big bucks...so stop ranking asians

KJohnson019: "Stop ... ( 3 months ago by yerk3)

KJohnson019: "Stop arguing and keep it to yourself" is such a totalitarian statement. When an honest person sees injustice, the right course of action is to bring attention to it and try to get something done about it. "Keeping it to yourself" out of fear of offending someone, or worse, punishment, is pure cowardice.

brettishfan: Who is ... ( 3 months ago by yerk3)

brettishfan: Who is "slandering" China? If the government is still imprisoning and torturing people for crimes of conscience, then it should be noted. If the same government has been shown to be dishonest, then how is it to be believed when it tries to deny such crimes.

yerks3: And all the ... ( 3 months ago by brettishfan)

yerks3: And all the above mentioned (by you) are not happening in any other countries, especially yours? Please increase your knowledge on your own government's doings first, if you must the negative parts of other societies. The fact is China is the only large country in the world, that has been staying together with over 56 ethnic groups through many upheavals for the last 5000 years of history, to have watched China's recent changes against many odds is truly remarkable.

I'm very much in ... ( 3 months ago by brettishfan)

I'm very much in agreement with you apeppler. Changes take time, especially with such a large country and over 50 ethnic dialects, not to mention how they managed to still stay together for 5000 years, and making huge progresses in all industries as one nation, no any other countries in the world has been able to do so, it's a country deserves to be cherished more than criticised unthoughtfully, like many do here on youtube.

I'm just helping ... ( 3 months ago by brettishfan)

I'm just helping out vincentsidney with the translation here, johnldai is referring to the ones who are criticizing China, wanting to boycott the Bei Jing Olympic, he said without the support of them the Olympic will still happen in Beijing ... which it did, and the opening was beautiful as you can see. My translation is not great, but hope it helps.

brettishfan: And ... ( 3 months ago by yerk3)

brettishfan: And what makes you think I agree with everything my own government is doing? Listen, being from a country doesn't mean you have to support everything that country does. We aren't the Borg, we don't all think alike. Just to clear things up, I am actually against nationalism and the idea of nations. People should consider themselves as citizens of the world, not of arbitrary nations, and hate pretty much everything the U.S. government is doing.

willpaner: I wish I could say that it's good to love your country, but the value of patriotism is long past. It is a vice that only feeds into nationalism, and people turning a blind eye to the crimes of those in power, all in the name of "love of country." This is the 21st century, people need to think of themselves as human first, not as members of nations. This provincial mentality has to be shed in order for our species to survive the next century.

Ps: my english is not good ,can you understand ? o(∩_∩)o...

I agree with ... ( 2 months ago by LottLottie)

I agree with everything you said. But the fact is, China will soon be the #1 economic and military ( though not political) power , and so the rest of the world must be careful to engage with China, not isolate it. ie "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer".
Also, lots of Chinese people are not at all like their government... like how not all Americans are like George W. Bush!!!
